I like the sound of a BaF Dreadnought. Or, if they don't want to have any new tooling (or minimal at most) for the wave at all, just go with the Mindless One again, and use it as a chance to get the troop builders they won't rerelease back into circulation.
SHIELD Agent (50/50 split male and female molds)
Hydra Goon (50/50 split male and female molds)
AIM Tech
Hellfire Club Guard
Skrull soldier
Kree Soldier
Hand Ninjas
BaF: Mindless One or Dreadnought
They don't need to re-release the Aim tech. Can be had for less than $20 easily. Hand ninjas also. The aim trooper 2 pack can still be gotten for $25. I think the hand ninjas are terrible and look unimposing, so if they wanted to redo them...
Also the Hellfire Guards need a redo on the Faceplate, it should be smaller than the head not wider than the head. Might as well use a new buck while they are at it.
Should put some other new army builders in there like moloids etc.
Fantastic Four Wolverine/Spiderman are up on Pulse

That is honestly a great idea. I don't even need more of the Ninjas (I have a lot) but I would buy at least 4 full sets to build some Mindless ones... keep this wave as evergreen stock too, so people can buy one here or there as they have a few dollars, or can toss one onto a new order or whatever - people can swap extra mindless one parts if they end up with them... this would be pretty cool.
If it were me making this wave I'd maybe include another new army builder instead of the ninja - maybe Badoon... I think that one could be good since some of the tooling to make it could be usefully reused for characters like Triton and such
That would be something fresh to get people who have some of the other stuff interested too.
Oh, for sure. I just threw together a wave that they already had all the tooling for so that it wouldn't cost them anything new and it would get out a lot of the troop builders I see people wanting regularly. Ideally, yeah, I'd love to have all-new troop builder characters in this as well, and the Badoon are another great suggestion.
Howsabout some HUMANOIDS?!?
Hulk needs more enemies to smash!!

I 100% agree that the only way something like this is viable is if it's essentially all re-use. The only way the Badoon inclusion works would be if it's re-using something that hasn't been released yet - like a body mold for Triton, that can get repurposed. It would still call for the tooling costs of a new head, but I still think that could be a bargain for them for a wave like this...

Totally, and I'm thankful for that. It's how I've built myself quite a nice little group to surround MODOK and the Scientist Supreme. My oldest son always laughs at me because I tend to grab a 2-pack each payday. I'd love to be able to do the same for SHIELD Agents and Hydra goons, but I haven't seen any bargain basement offerings with them anywhere.
I’d be down for another AIM Scientist if they tweaked him up a bit — bright shade of yellow; different limbs.
Though, a classic Hydra soldier is probably my most wanted troop builder. Then Doom’s (classic) servo-guards and Flag Smasher’s ULTIMATUM goons.
I love the idea of a troop builder wave with a troop BAF. And I think you could keep it almost all reuse (minus new heads) while still giving a lot of figures upgrades or side-grades to ones we already have. Like, say do more Skulls, Hellfire, and whatnot, but on some new bucks (maybe a Vulcan body Skull, or even a larger body, they're not all necessarily small-fries) or something. A female Skrull on the Shriek body, etc. Could even get us some more prime sentinels with maybe a collar overlay on a basic body with a new head. I think it would just be a good way to give us not only more troop builders, but some variety within the legions folks already have so they don't all look like clones.
I think if we were to get a new BAF, or even a new troop in general, I'd love to see a smaller Sentinel. Maybe something classic like their early appearances or even a new BAF that goes more towards the X-Men fighting game. Gives the folks who missed the giant sentinel something to grab at a more reasonable price point.
Couldn't you do a Badoon right now with Jack O'Lantern torso, Green goblin arms and legs with new forearms, shins, feet and hands? Not that much tooling. Go ahead and prep it pinless for Triton to come. Not to mention pinless remakes of Green Goblin, Black Knight, Hobgoblin, etc.
I also support a classic Hydra henchmen in the baggy Silver Age uniform. Always seemed more cultish in the baggy suit. Sure the new Baron Zemo could be moded into one. I still display those limited articulation ones from way back when b/c of it. Hell call them Hydra Cultist to distinguish them from Hydra soldiers.

This would be so smart. Can you imagine an entire wave of figures people want to buy multiples of? What a money-maker.
I never got a chance at the SHIELD or Skrull army builders sold on Hasbro Pulse, so I'd 200% back a big release that gets them back in the market.
My one hangup, though, that's keeping me from getting any kind of SHIELD or Hydra characters is that Marvel Legends Hydra don't look like what I think Hydra looks like.
They need the 'H' tunic w/ skirt and the over-the-nose mask. It's a literal deal-breaker for me.
Hello all! There are currently 44 votes in the (Un)Official Top 10 Poll thread and I'm totally appreciative of all the votes so far.
The goal was 100 votes, but I'll settle for 60... 🙂
Voting ends this coming Sunday the 24th at 11:59 pm PST. You'll have until then to edit your lists.
Please vote and get the word out for others to vote!
Wow. Hopefully they do some Gamerverse stuff for Marvel 1943, because that World War 2 era Black Panther look is SICK.
@beamish It's a shame Fwoosh isn't doing anything official to back this with Robo et all gone. Hasbro actually paid attention to the Fwoosh Top 10, and that made other "influencers" a bit jealous. Nothing funnier than watching Boog list off like 30 wishlist figures during an interview while the Hasbro team zones completely out.
