Will 2025 be the year we finally get a Puppet Master or Wizard figure? Maybe a new Mole Man? Maybe a classic Doctor Doom?
We ARE getting that sexy new Dragon Man later this year! Heck, maybe they'll go for gold and drop a new Annihilus on us too?
I would really like to see a classic Blastaar figure at some point.
I'd buy the whole picture.
Awesome Android with his sidekick the Mad Thinker is up there with my biggest wants. He was my vote for the Oversized/deluxe figure in this year's Top 10. I would absolutely be sourcing some clothes for him to have Awesome Andy as well.
I want an Attuma so bad, but definitely not in the colors pictured please. Super Weird to me that Red Ghost in that picture has a green coat - he's the RED Ghost - but he's another one I want badly.
Blastaar, Puppet Master, Gorgon, Triton, Wizard, Mad Thinker and Awesome Android, Rama Tut, Quasimodo, Annihilus all would be super duper welcome.
edit: Somehow I missed the Trapster hiding in there - he's needed too. And obviously if we get Red Ghost I'm going to need some Super Apes.
Likewise. I'd be in for everyone there. Which reminds me, I sold off my Kree Sentry BaFs years ago. I think I need to start to get some of those again.
I'd buy the whole picture.
Nuff said!
Love me some Fantastic Four. Sure hope we get more than just movie figures.
I'm going to infuriate PC by asking for redos of the team in their classic Kirby outfits. I'd take a new classic Doom, too. And I'm hoping against hope that the Marvel Select Annihilus still pans out.
Like DD and Thor, Legends hasn't made much progress on the FF's rogue's gallery. Wizard, Puppet Master, Diablo, etc. need figures.

It doesn't infuriate me. In fact I'm not naive enough to think we would get any significant depth on the FF Rogues gallery without getting the FF themselves again. Obviously I'd prefer to get some alternate looks first - Future Foundation, Thing with Mask, boob window Invisible Woman (ok maybe not that), but even then, a redo on the classic costumes is likely if we want all of the FF baddies and can look forward to them again in some form if the FF movie is a big hit.
Anyway, my sincere hope is that this FF movie hits in a big way and resonates with audiences in a way that some of the more recent Marvel movies didn't and Hasbro re-opens the door to FF product after slamming it shut when they had to clearance the retro wave so significantly.
Likewise I would love if the DD show blows up and gets Hasbro excited in more Daredevil product. Honestly considering that Thor has had 4 solo movies the lack of ancillary comic based Thor characters is continually surprising. Since there still sounds like there may be another Thor movie coming in the future they still have an opportunity to use that as an excuse to deliver a few of the top supporting cast we need.
Or maybe it will just be Spider-Man and Wolverine endlessly until oblivion 🤨
2-packs of Black Bolt/Triton, Medusa/Gorgon or whatever combination of them are rumored/leaked for this year.
So is She-Hulk in her FF costume and the Super Skrull.
Outside of that and Dragon Man, I really don't see anything else FF related coming our way. You know - IP confusion synergy and all that. Plus how poorly the FF Retro Card wave did.
It would be really nice to get at least Attuma (like a classic Namor vs Attuma 2-pack) and Wizard (2-pack with Trapster) this year.
Thing wearing his black and red singlet on a WCA card would be super cool.
For me my biggest wants are:
Attuma - Top 10 (#5 to be exact)
Gorgon, Triton, Puppet Master - Top 15
Wizard - Top 20
Trapster, Diablo - Top 30
Maximus, Red Ghost and the Super-Apes and Mad Thinker - Top 50
Awesome Android - #1 most wanted BAF/Deluxe/made-to-order figure
Oh, for sure. Hasbro is definitely going to wait and make sure the movie does well before they commit to a bunch of related comic based figures.
IF the movie is a huge hit though... like grosses over a Billion and a quarter big... then I could see them opening the spigot on the FF again. Especially if Marvel plays up an announcement of an FF sequel movie being planned... then maybe we get an FF wave with Future Foundation Reed, Future Foundation Human Torch, Future Foundation Invisible Woman, Attuma, Red Ghost, Wizard
And a 2 pack with Future Foundation Thing and Future Foundation Spider-Man
That would give us the whole team again - plus a Spider-Man redo where they could use a different body than the last time- and three classic villains we (OK, I) crave
Then we also get a Fan Channel exclusive Secret Wars carded Black leotard Thing repaint too.
And if those do well they keep going.
If the movie is popular enough to somehow lead to the green-lighting of a pineapple Thing, then it was all worth it.
I have the retro F4, but they are all outdated now.
No face printing, pins, old body molds. Sue is that old awfull female body with horrible articulation. Reed need some propper streachy torso arms and legs. Ben needs paint and Human Torch is ok, I guess.
In theory, F4 four pack can be a great idea. Fan Channel, new accessory set, etc. And then you can release She-Hulk in her FF costume on a retro card.
But, it's probably never gonna happen...
I always knew the FF enemies were going to be a long shot and they were def one of my fav corners of Marvel. So I focused my limited customizing energy there. Happy with some and fine with others; but would likely replace them all. So I don't NEED Puppet Master, Wizard, Trapster, Awesome Android, Mad Thinker, Red Ghost, the 3 super apes but I would certainly buy them.
The missing nature of a classic Blastaar and Annhilus is really a sore point. Even with the MS one (maybe) coming I still want them badly. I cut up a modern Blastaar to do a classic custom and never finished. Hate that figure and he's worth $ I assume. Want Blastaar not Lobo. I would say those discussed above and a Kirby suited Sandman, SheHulk, Attuma, Diablo, the remaining Inhumans, Quasimodo, and Rama Tut are the big FF specific characters missing. That MoleMan really could use an update as well as I don't think they realize they've never made a classic Doom.
