The one you've been waiting for....
10 X Protagonists. 10 X Antagonists.
So many heroes. So many villains. So many heroes that become villains and vice-versa. So many groups. So many mutants. So many friends and associates. So many different types of media.
From any media, from any era, from any dimension, from any size - who are your Top 10 most wanted X-Men, Top 10 X-Men Villains and X-Men adjacent characters you'd like to see as figures?
No restrictions at all. All Havok costumes? Cool. Alternate realities? Sweet! Updated figure on a new body? Nice!
No need to separate between standard, BAF, Deluxe, HasLab - it's all your Top 10. If you'd like to notate what size/format you'd like to see it made in - go for it!
Mix and match media! A few comic, a few cinematic, a few animated, a few video games? It's up to you - it's your list!
Also, keep in mind that you can certainly double up on a character from one Just For Fun thread to another, like if you want X-Factor Beast here, Kelsey Grammer Beast in the upcoming Film thread and you put Perez Beast in the Avengers poll - go for it!
Let the fun begin!
NOTE - One character per line please. No 2-packs or multi-packs.

Perez Beast

Mimic

Ok, this is definitely going to be my favorite list! I could easily do a Top 100 of previously unmade X-Men. Once we hit the Krakoa Age, good vs bad became even more fluid, so I think that I'm just going to do a full Top 20 regardless of good/bad. There will be zero previously made characters on my list. I consider anyone who has ever had a Legends figure done in this scale by either company to be ineligible for any of my lists. While I do still buy a lot of re'do's/re'makes (like this year's deluxe Phoenix), I would never ask for them when there are so many great characters that have NEVER been done yet.
1) Rockslide
2. Pixie
3. Anole
4. Armor
5. Magma
6. Husk
7. Cypher
8. Sage
9. Krakoa
9. Hellion
10. Valerie Cooper
11. Dust
12. Surge
13. Mercury
14. Dr Nemesis
15. Glob Herman
16. Marrow
17. Elixir
18. Frenzy
19. Exodus
20. Temper (Oya)
I could have easily gone on and on with this one, but I'll stick to the rules and cap it at 20 total.
I have to admit after X-Men, Avengers, Spider-Man and Fantastic Four, I don't think that I could come up with a Top 10 for any other group, though.
Heroes
1. Rachel Summers (Excalibur)
2. Magma
3. Armor
4. Pete Wisdom
5. Leech
6. Nocturne
7. Feral
8. Sage
9. Hepzibah
10. Hellion
Villains
1. Deathbird
2. Marrow
3. Cassandra Nova
4. Exodus
5. The Living Monolith
6. Grizzly
7. Zealot
8. Brood
9. Cameron Hodge
10. Mesmero

X-time!
there’s a couple of redos on this list with additional differences, but I’d take plenty of straight up redos with pinless (gambit) or better artic (rogue/psylocke) as well. Also - a spoiler for a Deadpool 3 cameo in the second image.
Am taking the leak lists at their word so Cortez isn’t on here, who otherwise would be.
And I’m as interested in the toy being good as the character, so for the women I’d not be interested in em without the added torso artic, or men or women with pinned limbs.
Antagonists
Exodus - I’d opt for soft goods cape ideally.
omega - am thinking a ‘capcom’ cable style approach to the straps, for better articulation.
Sinister is specifically the long haired krakoan look.
Hazard
Weapon omega
Greycrow
Original toon sabertooth
Deathbird
Frenzy
Feilong
Protagonist camp!
New x men Jean
New x men cyke - both gotta be ribbed!
Jean x men red costume in hoxpox green and gold
97 cable blue/gold suit
X men red storm
X men evolution wolverine
Ablation suit wolvie
Deadpool gambit
The wolverine end credit costume
Astonishing colossus

4.) Mystique
Of all the characters they cursed with the Kate Bishop mold, she was the one that saddened me most

Preferably Fall of the Mutants accurate, but would be down for the retro figure in blue colorway as well.

I need that buff shirtless bastard
