@beamish Have they had a self-tilted comic book for 30+ years? If so they likely deserve their own top 10. I feel the Avengers covers too much ground and Cap, IM and Thor at least need their own lists (so maybe do Cap, Thor and IM first and expect the Avengers list to be characters people didn't top-10 on those lists).
This is mainly because I think Thor and DD need their own lists so I am trying to create a rationale to defend that position...
I could do at least one top 10, for Punisher, Iron Fist, and Luke Cage Power-Man, maybe even two for Luke.
Dear god... I couldn't even do a Top One for Punisher.
See now I want a Negative 10 list - which 10 figures should never get made.

LOL, for me that would just be just about any character that they've already made ten times or more, which would mean they could never do an A-lister again, and we know that's not going to happen.
A top 10 list for any IP outside of X-Men, Avengers, Spider-Man or Fantastic Four would be a struggle for me and I consider myself pretty hardcore and keep a running Top 200 wanted figures list at all times. My Top 10 for Spidey ended up being all civilians! I originally had a few Daredevil characters in that Spidey list but took them off. I could easily do a Top 50 for X-Men, but I'd likely struggle with a Top 10 for any IPs outside of those top 4 that I mentioned above. I feel like most other IPs could be grouped into one of those Big 4 or just have an "Other" category for the randoms. I could probably do a Top 10 for Hulk or Thor just because those seem to have been so neglected, but I could also just easily lump those into an Avengers Top 10 personally.
Question - majority rules:
Once I get past the groupings I intend to put on here, should I expand this and do Top 10 voting for individual A-B Listers like Cap, Iron Man, Wolverine, Daredevil, Thor, Hulk, Black Panther and Dr. Strange?
Yes. Also consider adding She-Hulk, Invaders (era), and maybe a Quasar top 10.
I might do a poll a week and try to stretch this out to December, take a little break, then do the (un)Official Top 10 vote in January, like it used to be.
Would y'all get tired of a poll every week? Or should I stick with a poll every 2 weeks?
@beamish Maybe start with every other week first and see how that goes? I will partake either way. Also, consider throwing Top 10 Defenders on the list 👍
I myself need more than a week to get to a computer and put some time into finding pics.
I'm fine either way.

I kind of agree. I like the Punisher, but I already have at least 3 figures. And I’m not really interested in his rogues, since they’re usually gangsters/goons. I would not be against some Punisher figures being folded into other categories though, such as Street Heroes or Spider-Man, Daredevil, etc.
Yeah my Punisher list is basically just Barracuda and Rachel Cole-Alves. Only new Frank figures id be interested in are maybe his Frankencastle or ninja looks.

I think that's still even hard... I mean you've also got to be realistic on how far a wave could take you with the idea of it still realistically selling.
Like i personally think at best... you could maybe get 1 all comic black panther wave (and even that might be pushing it)
wave would be something like
- Black Panther
- Black Panther
- Killmonger
- Midnight Angel army builder
- Storm (id do her black costume w/ White trim from around when they were married and on the F4)
- White Wolf
- last slot (this would be a wild card... could be a more D list panther specific villain (like Tetu) could be a Panther variant, could be a namor variant, it could be a member of the illuminati, or it could be someone who's fits an african theme even if they don't have much history with panther, like Nightshade.
BAF- Man-Ape/M'Baku
but beyond that single wave? eee... i think you'd have to do a half comic/half mcu wave, i don't really see much more getting made to be honest, despite panther having comics off and on for more than 30 years
I could do at least one top 10, for Punisher, Iron Fist, and Luke Cage Power-Man, maybe even two for Luke.
But would they sell?
I think Barracuda and the Russian are probably the next marketable for punisher, maybe Microchip?
still plenty of punisher figure variants... from his newer new symbol comic figure to franken castle...
you could probably do another jigsaw too like him in his punisher costume... but like.. as much as i want a Ma Gnucci with limbs that come off... i just don't see that ever happening for a pleathera of reasons.
i would bet hasbro would fudge it.. and throw in assassins and adjacent characters to punisher to the wave
- Hitman
- Sin Eater
- Silver Sable
- Bullseye (in some other costume)
- Classic Paladdin
- Classic Jackal
