Simonson Thor for sure. At this point it's becoming more and more of a glaring omission.

 

And I unabashedly love the Pineapple Thing look. It would be an engineering challenge to maintain the aesthetics and allow for decent movement, so I can see why it may never get done, but I have nothing but genuine love for that look.

I'll echo the sentiments for the Simonson-era armored Thor and any other Simonson-era Asgardians they'd care to make. Hela, at this point I'll just take any Asgardians I can get, period. But Balder especially has been criminally overlooked for FAR too long.

This!  I want any Simonson figures they care to make starting with armored Thor.  But I'll take any Asgardians.  Come on Hasbro throw us a bone once and awhile!

Huge fan of the Thing!  But never really cared for the spiky look.  I'd probably pick it up if it got made.  But I'm fine if it doesn't.

I, too, shall pass on the Pine Cone Thing but I would certainly buy a Simonson Thor.

Along with ROM and a couple of his fellow Spaceknights, Simonson’s Battle Armor Thor is my most wanted Marvel figure of all. 

And how about a Simonson era Kurse?  That would be tremendous!

… And an in-scale Marvel Legends 6’ 6” fighting mad Frog of Thunder, not Puddlegulp or Throg.

Not interested in Thor but I’ll take that Thing.

I was just reading X-Men vs Avengers, I'd love all the character looks from that series/era, be they Avengers or mutants. And a spiky Thing to go please.

I reread that series a few years back and there are some great looks from that time I'd love to see made! Plus (more importantly to me) new characters like Vanguard, Dr. Druid, and these versions of Titanium Man and Crimson Dynamo.

That might be my favorite She-Hulk costume.

Preach it, brother!

Likewise. It's basically her FF suit (more or less) in purple and white, so, winner.

Yeah, I really want another shot at classic purple She-Hulk. Power Princess seems like a great base for it, but I hate that the body is missing waist articulation like so many female figures. Really needs that one addition to be perfect.

Spikey Thing is my number one want, with She-Thing being second. I would love to get those but am not holding my breath. 

 

And a classic She Hulk that hopefully would also get repainted into her FF uniform is my number 3. I'd but both versions.

 

I personally don't need that version of Thor though.

I generally think of what is the best representation of the character on each of my main shelves. I don't want multiples except in a few circumstances. Like I want a classic looking Thor for my Avengers shelf and would love a Simonson gold and blue Thor for my Asgard shelf (meager as it is). Green trunks Namor for the FF shelf and black disco suit Namor for the Defenders shelf, etc. She-Hulk might win the prize for most versions I'd display. We have 2 modern Hasbro era existing figures that work in 2 of the categories but I'd love to replace them. Purple and white for the Avengers shelf, FF suit for the FF shelf, FA white torn up onesie for the Hulk side of the Defenders shelf & pencil skirt lawyer outfit for the street side / DD shelf.

With the size creep and the previous She-Hulks being larger than PP already, I don't think that will work very well for her.  It is a nice buck though.
