Sorting through my figures, I was noticing how outdated some of them seem. I know we all (rightfully) want new character representation in the line, but pretend for a moment, if you will...that we've gotten every character our hearts desire. Which existing figures would you like to see Hasbro update? I'd like to see a new...

Constrictor

Ares

Batroc

Black Knight

Cyclops (from Dark Phoenix two pack)

FA Daredevil

Mystique

Original X-Men 5 pack

Phoenix (green)

Sub-Mariner (classic green trunks)

Taskmaster (Classic)

Thundra

Union Jack

Valkyrie

Wrecking Crew (Wrecker, Piledriver, Thunderball, Bulldozer)

First Avengers Captain America is a big standout to me.

Most of the cast of the first Avengers movie, especially Loki, but also including Nick Fury and Maria Hill.

Iron Man mk 1

War Machine mk 1

BOOOOO to this topic.    Please, I beg you, do not give Hasbro excuses to remake figures they've already made instead of making more new characters.    Hasbro has made numerous Mystique figures but no Destiny.   We're really asking for another bite at that apple?    

 

The only one of these things up there I can even remotely support is the Original X-Men.   That box set was underwhelming when it was made and hasn't aged well.   Everything else on that list is fine or good enough...

make new characters instead please!

Constrictor

Ares

Batroc

Black Knight

Cyclops (from Dark Phoenix two pack)

FA Daredevil

Mystique

Original X-Men 5 pack

Phoenix (green)

Sub-Mariner (classic green trunks)

Taskmaster (Classic)

Thundra

Union Jack

Valkyrie

Wrecking Crew (Wrecker, Piledriver, Thunderball, Bulldozer)

 

Agreed on Constrictor, the OG5 X-Men, Phoenix, Thundra (and all the She-Hulks on this base body), Valkyrie, and the Wrecking Crew.

I'm not one who dislikes the Bucky Cap body, so I wouldn't advocate for an update simply because a charcater is  on that body.

I would add Absorbing Man, Gladiator, Psylocke, Blink, Iceman, and Molecule Man (way over-sized and the headsculpt sucks).

The original X-Men definitely need to be updated. That TRU 5 pack was already outdated when it came out. Ice Man was on the outdated Torch body and if I remember correctly, Beast didn't have wrist or ankle articulation. 

While there's a lot of figures that need updating and some that I really want updated, there’s still a bunch of other figures that I would rather have first time figures of or some to finish off teams, first. 

Classic X-Factor, Starjammers, original GOTG, Classic Banshee, classic Adam Warlock, Destiny, Swordsman, comic Mantis...just to name a few.

@beamish has a list I can agree with. These are the high points (though I’m fine with the MS Brood and don’t need Ketch)

Other clear candidates FA X-Men, classic Loki, Mole Man, classic Valkyrie, classic Falcon, Madame Masque, and just to be annoying … Karnak on the appropriate teen size body.

Magik and X-23 Wolverine costume are the two that immediately come to mind. An updated Phoenix - both green and white! - would be welcomed but SCULPT HER BOOTS.

MCU would be Avengers Loki, Thor, Fury, Maria and Coulson.

My biggest wants would be a Wrecking Crew that doesn't suck and a Spider-Ham with full articulation.

Taskmaster (Classic)

I often forget just how much I really want an updated classic Taskmaster on the Vulcan body. The last one would be perfectly serviceable, EXCEPT for the fact that he's way too soft and loose. I struggle with even getting him to stand. It's unacceptable for one of my favorite villains.

 

Beyond him, I really want a new goblin body for Green Goblin and Hobgoblin. Or they could use a newer mold as a base. More than anything else, I just hope they can get the headsculpts right this time. And that they at least have fists too, but that's probably asking for too much from Hasbro.

Mandarin, probably the figure that's the most sorely missed from my collection at this point.

Madame Masque

She-Hulk

Heinrich Zemo

Blackheart
