@popoman It is for sure revised to accommodate the backpack, but it is NOT the RYV torso articulation. Upon closer inspection it's slimmer than the Sunfire torso. So yeah, new torso.
At the very least bare minimum Hasbro should eventually deliver:
1940's:
Cap update
Bucky update
Namor update
Human Torch
Toro
Next tier:
Whizzer
Miss America
Blazing Skull
- Not technically created in the golden age
Spitfire
Baron Blood
Everyone else would be pure gravy - Kid Colt, Two-Gun Kid, original Vision, members of The Twelve, Thin Man, Blonde Phantom, etc.
I don't ever see this happening, but I would love to see Hasbro make a new taller, more muscular and less bulky Colossus. One that looks more like the way Byrne drew him. I think the one that came with Juggernaut was too thick.
Blazing Skull was a Golden Age hero. He's from Timely/Marvel in 1941. Wasn't part of Cap's Invaders comics from the 70s. I don't believe he was in modern comics until that Rick Jones Avengers adventure in the 70s.

I think there's definitely art that reflects the size of the Colossus we have from that 2pk, but a new Colossus is certainly welcome. That one had funky proportions, a strange transition from forearm to hand sculpt. I would really like a shirtless version for the Outback team they seem to be building towards.
I'll have the Invaders and a bunch of western characters. Night / Ghost Rider seems obvious, tons of re-use already. Hoping Strange Tales line is Monsters.

You and me both. If that wave gets released this fall, around Halloween, then making it a Marvel Monsters wave would be so damn cool.
Next tier:
Whizzer
If they released him with an alternate older likeness I would probably get two; younger for the Invaders and older for the 70s Avengers.
And if calling him "Whizzer" seems like it would be a problem then just call him Robert Frank or Fast Guy or whatever they want. But I'd love to get him in Legends.
Personally, I'd like to see MARVEL'S WHIZZER on a package.
We need a “Demented Dwarf” figure too. 😆
Really I pretty much want this:
He's at BBTS too for anyone that prefers their PoL shipping option
