I showed my (into pop culture) girlfriend the BAF Apocalypse & asked her what his name was. She didn't know, so I pointed to the "A" on his belt. She said Aaron.
Well... there we have it 🙂
A A Ron?
D Nice?
J Kwallin?

Might get a Madelyne Pryor earlier than we think.
I'm probably forgetting one or two obvious ones, but I think my point is still valid - Apocalypse is one of the 20, maybe 15 - maybe even higher - most notable villains in Marvel.
As much as I'd personally like an Atlas, a Foom, a Dragon Man, a Surtur...are any of them even close to the top 20?
No, but then Giant Man isn't close a top 20 marvel hero either. That's what makes him good for a Haslab.
The problem with Apocalypse is that most of us don't think of him as being that size. For most of us, we want Apocalypse in the scale he's already been given to us in. If he were usually shown as being that big, he would have happened already.
Anyway, I think Foom is definitely on the short list of most likely candidates. I'd probably call him the favorite at the moment.

It's for posts like this that we need a reaction button more emphatic than a "thumbs up". 😍 🤩 ...
Based upon comic appearances, here is some hard data. The only 2 comic book characters that have appeared in over 20,000 issues are Batman and Donald Duck. For Marvel only:
15,000+ issues: Only Spider-Man and Wolverine
10,000+ issues: Captain America, Cyclops, Iron Man, Storm
I am curious about the source of this data. How can Storm, a character that has been around for 50 years, average 200 comic appearances a year since that time? That's an average of nearly 17 comic book appearances a month for 50 years. Even Spidey and Batman at their peak would be in half a dozen books a month on average. Is this US, first publication only?
point taken 🤣
Just dreaming here. Space is limited. I like your idea of 15" to 16" figures.
But I would prefer Surtur bigger.
Giant-Man:
4,680 / 10,000 (+90) 46.80% of funding goal with 37d 16h left.
As is so often the case with ML, I was inspired to read some classic Giant-Man stories thanks to the HasLab, and what could be more classic than the OG Avengers? I was curious if he ever grew above that 12-foot mark he typically had; without relying on the art where sometimes he appears way bigger than 12 feet, he explicitly hits 40 feet as early as Avengers #7.
Pretty cool to see, as I didn't know he could grow that big so early in the timeline.
Also, who knew that Tony was a smoker?? Not at all surprised given the time, but it gave me a bit of a double-take considering how averse they are to showing tobacco use for a long while now!
That's totally a lollipop. 😉

The one character I always forget was a smoker was Jay Garrick, DC's Golden Age Flash.
Bruce Wayne was mostly a pipe smoker although he had the very rare cigarette. Clark Kent only smoked cigars and rarely as far as I can recall.
But Jay Garrick stands out because he got his powers from an accident caused by smoking a cigarette in his lab.

First fairly low double digit gain, but it is a weekend so not surprising.
- As for next Haslab, Foom or Surtur would be the 2 comic based ones that would make sense to me.
But eventually I think a MCU Haslab is going to be attempted. Off hand 2 Haslabs I would be into from the MCU would be Leviathans from Avengers (which I think would be most likely thing...could do those and offer Chitari or The Other as tiers, and then do the Chitari later on as a rerelease in some form). Another idea I would pitch, but I don't think would get funded but I would personally like would be a set of 4 Hammer Drones from Iron Man 2, 1 for each branch of the military. Throw in Justin Hammer, and boom! You got me. Just 2 MCU ideas I thought of off hand. I guess Arishem could technically be one, but Eternals I don't think was successful enough to warrant the attempt. So even if they deem the comic Haslab options are dry, they still have options

I could go for the Hammer Drones, but I couldn't care less about MCU Justin Hammer. Arishem would be cool, but there is no way to do him to scale that doesn't sacrifice his size. And as you said the Eternals movie didn't exactly do gangbusters at the theatres. The Leviathan is another massive creature that couldn't be done to proper scale, they would have to sacrifice size. Also the Chitauri (and Leviathans) only really featured in one film over a decade ago. They have had their moment in the sun and I don't know if they have enough history behind them for people to care to pay Haslab pricing for a Leviathan.
