Attuma, Skurge, Mandarin, and proper Annhilus and Blastaar are probable the big 5 glaring holes in the villain department. And yes of course Mandarin's package should say Xu Wenwu or Zhang Tong or whatever.

Classic Graviton should be our next rally, or maybe comic book accurate Baron Mordo, and Nebula.

@basil-elks Those 3 prob make it a top 8. Throw in Nightmare and maybe the Wizard for a top 10 of villains needed.

But clearly we all need to rally behind Dr. Bong. 

The packaging's about to say

MARVEL's
Lester Verde

All of these other characters have a fighting chance BECAUSE they're such glaring omissions.

Dr. Bong deserves our support! (or Gatecrasher)

Here's the thing...   Attuma, Skurge and M'Baku are all absolutely must have and mandatory - but for some reason it seems like Hasbro feels like the existence of the MCU version of those characters is sufficient and makes the need for a comic based version of the character less urgent.

For me those are the top three - but Baron Mordo and Nebula and Mandarin are on that same list as well.    Give us comic versions of these characters please, the MCU versions are not sufficient.

In fact -  even though I don't collect MCU figures anymore if the only way to get this done was to market it as two packs with the comic version packaged with a rerelease of the MCU version I'd take it.    Just give me these characters for my collection finally - PLEASE.

I don’t care what any of the packaging says. If they call Dr. Bong or Mandarin something different, it’s all going in the trash. Feel the same way about Man Ape who’s firmly in my BAF voting spot until he gets made. Just call him M’Baku and get him done. 

I mean I feel the same way about M'Baku but he has more hurdles to having a classic version made beside the name Man Ape.

The biggest omissions for me are:

Rachel Summers
Destiny (though she's rumored)
Skurge
Mephisto
Crystal

BAFs: Lockjaw & Armor

For me the biggest omission is Crystal:

Debuted in 1965.

Member of the Inhuman Royal Family, Fantastic Four and the Avengers.

Romantically linked to Johnny Storm, Quicksilver, Black Knight and Ronan the Accuser.

Mother to Luna.

She has the longevity and history, links to several teams, romantic relationships to several notable characters that led to conflicts in some major storylines.

She's very important to the Marvel universe.

Plus she is the EASIEST character to cobble together. All the parts exist for three of her most notable costumes (classic yellow, FF and Avengers blue and white with bomber jacket), she just needs a newly sculpted head.

There has to be a reason Hasbro won't make her, and whatever that reason is - it's lame.

Yes, Armor! Especially if the recent Cyclops and Emma are an indication they’re going to be doing the Astonishing team.

I meant villain-wise.

I'd be a little upset of they don't do Crystal's weird boot and glove cuff things.

Mephisto would probably get my vote for the biggest omission villain-wise.

Like Crystal, it's his longevity, history, ties to other characters and crucial participation in numerous important storylines. He doesn't even crack my Top 15, but he is the biggest villain omission.

My personal top 5 never-been-made omissions are Deathbird, Skurge, Attuma, M'Baku and Puppet Master, Dracula and Mandarin as my top updates. 

On a slightly different topic:

Hasbro needs to do the following Fan Channel 2-packs with the FF in matching era costumes.

If they can do a Franklin/Valeria 2-pack, they can do these...

Mr. Fantastic vs Wizard

Invisible Woman vs Diablo

Human Torch vs Trapster

Thing vs Puppet Master

I want so many characters, but if you had to nail me down to only two, today, it would be:

-Dr Bong (with classic Howard pack in)

-Dracula (Colan style, of course)

Those two represent the extremes of the era and characters I most love from Marvel.

@panthercult I don't think it's Hasbro thinking the MCU versions of Attuma, M'Baku, and Skurge are sufficient.  I think they didn't want overlap between comic and MCU versions.  Maybe that was even mandated from Disney/Marvel.   And there's only so much product the line can sustain, so "obvious" stuff sometimes just takes time.   I imagine Skurge has got to be in the works.   Hopefully the others as well.
