The results are in!
Many thanks to everybody that voted!
Many, many thanks to my wife for double checking my tabulations!
First off, here are some tabulation clarifications:
-I added lesser totals to higher totals if a character got votes in both the standard Top 10 and the BAF/Deluxe categories, and a few between BAF/Deluxe and HasLab/Made-To-Order. Although I combined them, the final totals did not affect the top tallies at all.
-There were a few characters that got equal number of votes for both standard size and BAF/Deluxe characters. In each instance, I favored BAF/Deluxe because each had large wings (like Deluxe Angel) and made more sense in the BAF/Deluxe category.
-I combined almost all character costumes/appearances into one tally. Such as all Kitty Pryde and Shadowcat votes were combined. Same with multiple costumes for characters like Storm. The vote breakdown is included. Votes that didn't have a specific description or were listed as 'classic' are in the final total but not the vote breakdown description. Some characters were separated by identities, notably evil-turned-good like Erik Josten and Karla Soften.
-MCU, animated, game and comic versions were all counted separately.
-One unfortunate thing: I think the rumor/leak list affected votes.
Please keep in mind that this is how I decided to tally everything. It may not be the best way and I’m sure there may have been a more efficient way to tally and keep all votes completely separate, but this is the best I got.
And now - here's the Top 10!

4 Votes

Cameron Hodge
Mangog (1 vote BAF/Deluxe)
3 Votes
Goliath (Eric Josten)
Seems pretty solid.
So 6 of the overall top 10 were on my top 10 list, including all of the top 4 and 5 of the top 6. That would seem to suggest pretty good alignment for me with the wants of this group in general.
Also my choices for BAF and HasLab/Made to Order were #2 in each category ... I can live with that.
But M'baku would be WAY easier for them to make than Armor. Way easier - it's just a new head, new loin covering piece, new hands and new feet with the Sasquatch/Wendigo body. Easy peasy.
And Atlas would be much more productive to make as he could be re-used for other Giant characters going forward where as Foom is a one and done kind of deal.
Just throwing that out there Hasbro, in case you're listening 😉

Thank you, Beamish! Your efforts are appreciated!
The only 2 that I had on my personal list that seemed to get any broad level of support were Armor and Magma so I hope that we see them both relatively soon!
I also laughed out loud when I saw that I was absolutely the ONLY one who voted for my personal #1 want: Rockslide. I guess I know what the odds are of ever seeing him in figure form are now. Ha! I'd better make a custom if I want one. It appears that I was also the only sole vote for each of Krakoa, Rick Jones and Robbie Robertson. It is what it is. 😏
Is the one vote for Onslaught (AOA) meant to be Holocaust, as I don't remember an Onslaught character in AOA? So then AOA Holocaust would have 3 votes?
So, I would totally buy a Rockslide figure and would love to have him.
But he doesn't even make my current top 10 of X-character wants though. That's the thing, there are so many figures I want and need in Legends it gets crowded in a hurry and so tons of very worthy characters get squeezed surprisingly far down the list.
Thanks for doing this Beamish!
I got 4 in the top ten and 2 for the BAF. So I guess there's some hope that the guys at Hasbro might knock a few off my list.
I gotta say that it's a very solid top ten. I would purchase every single one of them if they were made.
I would be more selective when it comes to the BAF and HasLab choices here 😉
Thank you Beamish! Also thank you to people who vote, hopefully the Hasbro team still reads this (and I bet they do). None of my choices made the top 10 but that's okay. Armor would have been my second choice for a BAF after Mondo for sure. In general, though, I'm in for almost all X-men or related characters unless they are redos on characters that have already been made in outfits I have no interest in.
It's really great to see some new blood making their way into the Top 10 since a few key characters finally got made in the last year or two! Excited to see how highly Attuma and Jack of Hearts ranked especially.
Thanks so much for doing all the hard work, Beamish! To the Fwoosh team - any chance the results could be published on the front page?
@jtmarsh No clue. I just transferred it as initially written to my spreadsheet.
