Luke Cage, the one just released is very undersized and no boot swivel. Power Man is not the same size as Captain America.

I didn’t want to seem snarky, but honestly, Luke Cage is the first one that came to mind.  That figure has multiple issues, and the fact that it just came out makes those issues exponentially worse.

Agreed. It is clearly NOT the figure from the digital render. The legs in the render were much better looking and softer sculpted like he had looser fitting pants on but still showed muscle shape.
Â
The actual product.....almost looks like Hyperion. It's terrible I think. Forget them.
When is the last time we got a Carol Captain Marvel figure that wasn't MCU? Is it that Stealth repaint for Marvel Unlimited? Does Binary count?
Either way, it's a LOOOONNNGGG time for a flagship character. She definitely should be on this list, both Warbird and Modern both with sculpted pieces!
I know some people aren't a fan but I wouldn't mind a figure of her newest comic costumeÂ
Â
Â
I'd absolutely take this.
Â
I'll also throw in the Kevin Wada Scarlet Witch design.
Â
As for actual figures Hasbro has already done, the biggest for me rn is a Sam Wilson Captain America with better articulation and actual wings this time. The MCU version is fantastic, but I need to see some of that care on the comic suit.
As for ToyBiz figures, Astonishing Kitty Pryde and the Young Avengers all badly need redoes.Â
Â
It's actually insane to me, truly insane, that Hasbro has had the license for over 15 years and still haven't made a new Wiccan or Hulkling at least.
Â
Â
Always wanted Binary but haaaated that they cursed her with the KB mold. Â
And as much as I’d like the original Ms. Marvel costume, I’d very much welcome a warbird update - yellow detail this time; not gold.
I wish the Walgreens Binary had flame boots sculpted like that. That looks super cool.

Yeah. I wished they'd done something similar for Firelord.

Yellowjacket - the gold variant of the first figure was very good for its time - at a time when few of Hasbro figures were - but certainly could use an update to a modern body.
Blastaar - on the Controller body with hopefully better elbows. Don't hate the boxset version, they certainly beefed him up to that size in that look but I'd prefer a more classic look and one that more people can own.
Dragon Man - once again - make one that people can actually own without buying the bootleg
Green Goblin - and really anyone else who used those fragile Black Knight legs and the shirt torso that never seems to articulate correctly
Warbird - updated to pinless and less sloppy - I ended up with about a dozen of those first ones on clearance and none of them were perfect. Multiples had either none or half of the neck painted or missing half of the skin color paint on the torso.
Young Avengers - At the very least Wiccan and Hulkling. Patriot would be nice, don't really need another Iron Lad
Monsters boxset - All of them. I'm surprised they didn't make a Frankenstein when they were getting all of that reuse out of the Absorbing Man body.
She-Hulk - Green/Gray Savage She-Hulks were fantastic but want her in her more standard look. A-Force version is pretty bad. Sloppy paint, super dark green for some reason. Redo the Greg Horn look or base her off of the Kevin Wada covers.
Kitty Pryde - last figure was just okay - would like to see a full Astonishing version that is a bit shorter and has all of the sculpted details like AXM Cyclops
Winter Soldier - Crimson Dynamo wave one's face was oddly cartoony and felt too bulky overall. I'd like the hero look with shorter hair and red/white/blue star - like he had pre-Bucky Cap and in his solo series
Sharon Carter - Get her off that Maria Hill body with the weird oversized hands. Put her on the Target Black Widow body in the Epting costume with the exposed shoulders

After digging through one of my totes of figures, I'd like to see an updated Madame Masque and Doc Samson. Both of those original figures weren't too great when they were originally released.Â

Enthusiastically agree on these two! I actually sold both figures a while back in anticipation of redos. At this point I'd rather have an empty space on the shelf for a few years.
Â
Classic, original costume Doc Samson would be amazing. I very much want that as I missed out on the original release and I've always loved the character.
I have never read either character, but Rictor's headsculpt and hair have always reminded me of Doc Samson. They could totally pull a Sue/Vertigo on that one - and the same shade of green! - and it would look right to me.
Moon Knight 👀
I am 99% confident they'll re-release that new Luke Cage with blue pants in a two-pack with Iron Fist, burning everyone who bought one.
What personally irks me are characters that were rendered pupil-less when they really needed them:
Classic Juggernaut (Colossus 2-pack) -- I get that they were probably mimicking the Classic X-Men #10 Art Adams cover that has a pupil-less Juggernaut looming over a despondent Storm, but dude has visible eyes 90% of the time.Â
Jackal -- For a weirdly nondescript green furry animal-themed lunatic, the lack of expressive eyes really detracted from the final product. Observe:
Morbius -- A lot has been said about this one, and its recent re-release in a 2-pack was a missed opportunity for a more classic deco and new head. He featured in one of the first Spider-Man comics I ever read, and he was so creepy and scary with those pink eyes and slitted pupils, and pronounced bat-nose.
I would like a Winter Soldier on the Longshot body now that you mention it. Cable and Green Goblin are my biggest but he's on there.
Also, a side by side of the new and old Scarlet Spider really show how far they come. I want a 90's Spider-man too.
