According to leaks on Reddit:

"Another batch of Marvel Legends preorders leaked in China, including Avengers Doomsday, X-Men 97 wave 3, Marvel Rivals, Deadpool & Wolverine, 2 more Maximum figures and some comic figures."

Says we'll likely hear more as various online sources start putting out more info.

If true, I'd assume the XCU figures we heard about have more to do with Doomsday rather than a FoX-Men nostalgia wave.

If they actually make a Marvel Rivals line, I have a feeling even my oldest son (who is a Transformers collector and not a Legends collector) might want at least some of those. He's playing that game with his friends all the time and likes the designs.

Aside from that, this...

"...and some comic figures."

...is the only part of that rumor that holds any potential interest for me.

I'm mostly comic figures as well unless there's stuff like the Capcom figures or X-Men 97 which can double easily for 616 versions of characters I like.  The 97 Sentinels are obviously closer to the 60s Sentinels than anything we've had yet.

I'm fine with them making a Marvel Rivals line, honestly there's no costumes from that that I want, and having played the game I found it boring after about 2 days.  Characters I love and are major players in the 616 are ineffective and have a steep learning curve just to be mediocre with (I'm looking at you Wolverine) while other characters like Moon Knight and Iron Fist defy their comicbook counterparts and are the bane of anyone on the map.  I play as Storm or Venom in order to have any hope of having any sort of score.  So if they make Rivals figures I can enjoyably kick back and save my money for other stuff without feeling like I have a never ending stream of preorders coming in.

A little late to the party but:

 

Many unexpected rumors for the upcoming Legends right? Still no Feral, no Hepzibah...dommage.

 

I bet that this new X-Men 97 wave will be wave 1 for season 2. And the previous one rumored with Cable, Emma, Jubes etc will be wave 3 for season 1. 

 

But of course I am more than stocked for Psylocke to be appearing again in a rumor list!!! I sure do hope though that it will finally be Betsy in her original body. Outback is the most logical choice, but I would be more than ok with it being her puffy sleeves costumes and over the moon if it turned out to be her Disassembled look, my most wanted action figure ever!

 

I would be super angry though if it's just a repaint of her ninja costume in black or worse, the new Kwannon costume. Don't get me wrong, I love Kwannon, but Betsy as a character is around since the 70's and we never had an action figure of her in her British body!

Really sad to see Ryan Ting got let go by Hasbro during latest round of layoffs. I will miss him a lot. Ryan, Dwight and Dan are the reasons I watched the livestream instead of just waiting for the pretty pictures to come out later. Their joy together gave me joy. This sucks. Mattel needs to hire him on the DC Brand ASAP!! Good luck Ryan in the next phase of this journey called life and thank you for your passion for Marvel Legends.

I got a notice that MCU flamed on Human Torch is now scheduled to arrive Tuesday, July 1st from Amazon. The only other figure that I ordered from that wave was is Shalla Bal Surfer and she still says July 16th. Gamerverse Kingpin is also supposed to arrive next week per Amazon.

I agree. All I can see is Miley when I look at that Rogue, which is part of the reason I will sell her immediately on ebay if I'm able to get this 3-pack. I don't necessarily see Nicole Kidman on the Shanna figure, but I've seen other people say that also. However the only thing that I think I've ever watched her in was when she was Vicki Vale, so I'm probably not the best judge anyway.

The added forehead above the bandana certainly isn't helping the "Lovedoll" face by giving her a "fivehead."  Sad that we have to think about sourcing a better head for a figure many have been clamoring for.  Lame.

And Shanna is remarkably masculinely angular looking in the face compared to this one.  Pick a lane Hasbro.

Dragon Man looks great , but what a blunder that the fleshy parts of his closed wings aren't painted.

And that 2006 Toybiz homage for the box art is just sublime. Shows there really is a team of people that cares about not just the line, but it's history.

SDCC is just two weeks away from this Thursday. Anyone want to talk about what Marvel Legends you want to see?
