2023 was a great year for previously unmade characters as I counted 52 characters we got this year that had never been in the Legends line before (one for each week in the year!). I think that's outstanding! I'm going to stick with that theme for my most wanted list for 2024:
1) Rockslide
2) Pixie
3) Anole
4) Armor
5) Robbie Robertson
6) Edwin Jarvis
7) Husk
8) Magma
9) Rick Jones (Blue A-Bomb would be my preferred version, but I'd take any!)
10) Cypher
Those are all great choices, @chooch555. I echo your desire for a classic green costume Nita for the New Warriors display. And for Vance / Marvel Boy, I hope that if they do that costume he comes with two heads with both the mask variations he had in this outfit.
And yes, original Thunderbolts. LOVE them.
Like I said in my own post, my choices can vary pretty much on a day-to-day basis.
1. Armor
2. Wiccan
3. Hulkling
4. Lockjaw
5. Jolt
6. Titania
7. Beyonder
8. Prodigy
9. America Chavez
10. Wasp (Nadia Pym)
I really want a Bob Grayson Marvel Boy in grey, blue cape and bubble helmet. Think it could be a great looking action figure.
We actually got like half of my top ten list this year, but none of them in the costume I wanted. Vance Astrovik and Namorita have been in my top ten for years but in their New Warriors costume - thrilled to get them in ANY look soon (so happy to get Vance he'll probably be in my 2024 top ten out of nostalgia!) but holding out hope for a different costume. I might also be the only person on earth who wanted Karnak in his ANAD costume instead, too, but again, happy to have him in his classic look. Hoped for a green and gold Banshee too but so happy to have Sean at all I'm fine for now. I'm going to put those guys in my runner-up category this year and enjoy the versions we got for 2024 and put them back in the top ten next year. Gonna focus on characters who are either new or desperately need updates:
- Comic Titania
- Comic America Chavez
- Hawkguy (we have all the parts to kitbash him, he's right there!)
- Comics Valkyrie (Defenders era)
- Coleen Wing (comics jumpsuit)
- Rachel Summers (Excalibur
- Diamondback (any Serpent Society, honestly)
and maybe:
- Crystal
- Triton
- Gorgon
To round things out, Lockjaw BAF as always?
Here's the top 10+ from last year's Fwoosh poll if that helps with anybody's wishlists.
I marked off who we've gotten, including "wrong costume" Moondragon and the animated version of Goblin Queen since this may be the only shot we're probably gonna get at these characters.

This thread is exactly why it must be impossible to plan Marvel Legends waves because the choices are so disparate - some people want exclusively X-Men, some people want it Iron Man heavy, some people want mostly Spider-Man, some people want more MCU - some people want exclusively new characters (that would be me) and some people want only remakes of characters we have - some of them that we have many times over...
There is no line up at all that could make everyone here happy - so it's gotta be tough trying to figure which segment to disappoint with the next wave.
When you say new characters, do you mean "never before made, for Legends" new characters, or "new, not yet fully established characters" new characters? My preference is that they make every character. 😀 😆This thread is exactly why it must be impossible to plan Marvel Legends waves because the choices are so disparate - some people want exclusively X-Men, some people want it Iron Man heavy, some people want mostly Spider-Man, some people want more MCU - some people want exclusively new characters (that would be me) and some people want only remakes of characters we have - some of them that we have many times over...
