Yes to Ultimus and any Kree Starforce!
Also yes to Living Lightning, preferably in a powered up form.
Knowing Hasbro’s desire to milk things for more money, they would more likely offer the more desired versions of characters as solo releases, depowered Living Lightning, Powered up Jim Hammond, and put the alternate looks in a box set. Say: Powered up LL, deowered Jim Hammond, Black leotard Thing, Firebird, and the Shroud. That would get them more mileage off the characters.

I would 100% buy all of that.
Happy 4th of July! Besides two actual character entries, how about a little bit of fun?
My older brother had the Bicentennial calender, which I rescued years later when he moved away to college. It's one of my favorite things!
So, besides our usual chat about specific characters, feel free to chat about any of the characters and their looks in the calender! Freedom!!!!!
Day #927 - 4th of July fun, plus Miss America and Whizzer (Archive Day #264)
I'd like every character from the calendar we don't have: classic Son of Satan, Dracula, Adam Warlock, George Washington, Ben Franklin...wait, not those last two (although maybe?). What a fun bit of pop culture that bicentennial calendar is!
And Whizzer and Miss America are HUGE wants for me. More Invaders please!!! Heck, more/any Liberty Legion too!
That's a cool calendar. From way back in the days before the president was a king.
Hulk in the George Washington garb is quite a look.
That is a great calendar. Thor being responsible for electricity is brilliant. And yes to everyone today.
Invaders, classic Son of Satan, Tomb of Dracula, Starlin Adam Warlock, Miss America, and Whizzer would all be instant buys from me.
Big YES to the golden age Whizzer and Miss America. More Invaders. More.
That calendar is fun. Nice save there Beamish. That “valley forge” Hulk would be kind of fun. A Legends Conan would be very cool to have. Shoot, pretty much anyone in those images that we don’t already have, are necessities.
Miss America and The Whizzer are an easy yes for both.
Wow this is why I love the fandom. I have never seen that Bicentennial Calendar before. It is great and I love pretty much everything about it. Also doesn't hurt that it is basically in my wheelhouse of comics from Marvel.
I would love prints of some of those pages.....the cover, George Washington Hulk, Conan leading the troops, Thor with Benjamin Franklin, Cap in front of the Constitution, Son of Satan et. al in front of the flag, Man-Thing/Dracula/Werewolf by Night with Paul Revere? Sorry being Canadian I'm not 100% sure on that one.
You know what? Just give me a reprint of the whole calendar that looks great.
As for figures I'll take George Washington Hulk, Conan (too bad we didn't get him while Marvel still had the rights) and box sets of the following:
Colan Dracula/Classic Man-Thing/comic Werewolf by Night. For good measure why not Paul Revere on his steed? Then we have a horse mold for massive reuse!!!!
1970s Spidey, Cap and Hulk with the Flag, drums and flute. Hell throw in a mini Constitution as well.
Then the big one. Power Man, Son of Satan, Shang-Chi, Doctor Strange and Black Widow (maybe switch out someone for Daredevil). Then a separate release of classic Johnny Blaze Ghost Rider with that sweet 70s ride.
This was a great one today Beamish!!
Oh and happy Independence Day to all you Yanks out there.

In 1976 when I was a young kid I had this Avengers bi-centennial T-shirt back when such things weren't that common. It was very 70s. Can barely see it in my mind's eye.
Yes to Miss America and Whizzer. Really need a few Invaders / All Winner's Squad
I'm proud to say I own the original pencil and ink art for that Black Panther bicentennial calendar page. I have it hanging on the wall of my toy room/office (along with a few other original art covers and splash pages)
Also big YES to Miss America and Whizzer.
Yes to all the characters on the Marvel Bicentennial Calendar!
And a big Golden Age Yes to the Whizzer and Miss America!
The great thing about the Robert Frank Wizzer: He checks four boxes.
He was an unofficial Avenger:
He was an Invader:
He was in The Liberty Legion:
And the All Winners Squad:
C'mon Hasbro. We need some Golden Age love.
