Come on, Stingray! You too, Unicorn.

@akatsuki While I am down for a Dark Aegis figure, if they were going to do a surprise figure again I would love it if they could somehow pull off a Firepower.  Version one, not the later versions.  I love me some Firepower and the ridiculousness of the armour.   Also it was right in my reading wheelhouse with Armor Wars.

Yes, I definitely want a figure of Firepower!! Awesome powerhouse armor from an amazing story. 

So many fun ideas in this thread. I enthusiastically support:

Sunturion

Vanko as modern Whiplash

Ultimo as a deluxe 

Iron Patriot! That armor appears different in a lot of artwork. It could certainly be made as a repaint/retooled head and chest using the Pentagon Armor. 

What's the temperature on a re-do of comic Rescue, with a Pepper head? Did enough people who really wanted one finally get one, or is there an appetite for a re-do?

I would've already posted back but I had to do over 12 hours due to an inspection coming up and I'm not allowed to go on the internet at work and log in and post somewhere unless it is an authorized site. The new Bucky Cap is actually on the correct body since Dwight said the Vulcan body was a replacement for the old Bucky Cap body. However whoever didn't account for the boot height and the head sculpt is a little big. The weight stats for Bucky Cap being 260lbs is him having the bionic arm.  I can vent all I want but it's never going to change anything especially since Count Nefaria is already coming and the majority of fans probably won't have a problem with the figure. I don't think they will even after getting the figure in hand. I could fix the height for Vision, see pic which bothered me quite a bit but I can't fix the build for Count Nefaria because I'm not a sculptor or a painter. I guess if it bothers me enough I will just have the figure customized to a Reaper body. This all being said, I do love this wave and I'm definitely looking forward to the wave even Count Nefaria because as others have said it's the first time in the line and probably the last.

My Top 10 direct or indirect Iron Man character wish list is, in order:

1) Whiplash - Monoco Speedway

2) Mandarin

3) Jack of Hearts

4) Stingray

5) Melter

6) Century

7) Firebrand

8) Madame Masque update

9) Unicorn

10) Ghost

BAF/Large Scale - Ultimo

Honorable Mention

Black Widow gray suit without the bomber jacket

Mandarin and Ultimo are a must.

I don't know much about Firebrand but I do know the rest and would want all of them.

I'd LOVE to see a classic Cobalt Man, in original armor, for this line. :3

I wholeheartedly endorse your list, @beamish. I’d personally pass on that Whiplash, but I’d be all-in for the rest. 

There was zero consistency to how Iron Patriot was drawn. Could be parts from Pentagon, Extremis, and movie armors. I don’t know if they’ll bother kitbashing an official one. I bet they’ll just choose one armor to recolor. I’d go with Extremis in that case, I guess. Or movie MK3.

On the subject of retro Iron Man, sad to report that Mark Bright passed on today at 68.

Rest in peace, brother.

I'm glad your all happy for this wave. Back in the day i would have probably wanted She-Hulk and Nefero but in 2024 I will be giving them all a miss.

@beamish Man I would love an 80s Ghost.  I like the way they updated him to be more of an anti-business/corporate figure.  Along with the redesign.   However the original Ghost is still my favourite and I would love to get a figure of him.

As for actual armours I would love to get both the Space Armour (model 5) and Hydro Armour (model 6).

I also realized that with the new boots on model 9, the ML team is probably setting up a model 10 release.  The model 10 armour had those big ass boots as well (probably moreso than the model 9 on a consistent basis in the art).   So knowing the ML team even with some slight differences in the boot design, it is probably "good enough" to release a model 10.

They ain't got the guts to do an original Jack of Hearts.
