CML? Cosmic Marvel Legends?

I hope so. And bring on comic Mantis as well.

That's what I'm afraid of. If we get MCU Titania first, comic Titania might fall by the wayside like Skurge, M'Baku and Nebula. And comic Titania is a must to add to our Secret Wars cast.

That would be great! If there's another comic Avengers wave in the future, I'd rather a female villain spot go to somebody new, like Titania, Nebula, Diamondback, Deathbird, Alkhema, Morgan Le Fay, Nekra or Black Swan. Although not technically new since she's already had a figure, I'd give Moonstone a pass in her original yellow suit with the helmet - I'd love to finish off Zemo's Under Siege team.

This wave looks great! Hopefully Hasbro will follow up with an Avengers 60th anniversary wave in 2023 that skews a little more classic- 1st appearance Wasp, Count Nefaria, Mantis, Titania, Starfox, Stingray, Graviton, Moondragon, Swordsman, Sersi, Safari Jacket Wonder Man, 1st appearance Monica Rambeau, Nebula, Jack of Hearts, Fixer, Crystal just to rattle off a few that would be amazing…

Hopefully an updated Madame Masque will come with an alternate Masque clone head, which would be another Avenger (well, honorary) to check off the list.

Or hopefully a full on 7 figure/BAF cosmic wave which could pull from all sorts of crazy cosmic areas like original and newer GOTG, Imperial Guard, Infinity Watch/War/Crusade, Kree, Skrullls, Galactus Heralds, Eternals, Annihilation, Brood, Starjammers just to name a few… 4 Walgreens cosmic characters were a tease. We need a full wave! Or several cosmic waves!

The wave that has less updates/costume alterations and more never-been-made-before figures. If one of them: Thor, Madame Hydra or Quicksilver is not correct and we get an actual never-been-made female Avenger (was Jocasta the last one?) or another villain like Count Nefaria or Graviton, that would be a great wave - 3 new and 4 updated/alternate look.

2 new and 5 updates/alternate costumes. Hopefully 2023 will have a 60th anniversary wave with the ratio reversed - 5 new and 2 updates. Far too many Avengers and villains that have never had a ML figure.

I'm a classic Avengers guy all the way - pre-Bendis. There's still a lot of classic team members and honorary members to go. Hopefully this wave and the remainder of the retro cards (Lady Loki and others) will help check off some of the following: Swordsman finishes off 1960's Avengers that have never-been-made-before in ML. And of course Rick Jones and Jarvis. Of course 1st appearance Wasp, Yellowjacket update, Clint Barton Goliath and 1st appearance Wonder Man are definite factors in the 1960's as well, but Swordsman is technically the last. Fishnet Black Widow was an ally and I'd gladly display her, but she technically wasn't an Avenger... yet. Mantis, Moondragon and Two-Gun Kid wrap up the 1970's for never-been-made members. Safari Jacket Wonder, Perez Beast, classic Falcon and classic Hercules are definite factors as well. The original GOTG and Whizzer are honorary members, so they technically fit. Carol in her 1st appearance costume was an ally, but not technically a member until she wore the black costume, but I need the first costume to add to my Korvac Saga cast. Starfox, Firebird, Dr. Druid, Demolition Man, Gilgamesh and Jim Hammond Human Torch are the never-been-made of the 1980's. A definitive She-Hulk, 1st appearance Monica Rambeau, classic Mockingbird and lab coat/red jumpsuit Hank Pym are factors as well. Marrina and Rita Demara Yellowjacket are honorary members, so they fit. Sersi, Stingray, Living Lightning and Crystal fill out the 1990's never-been-made-before Avengers. Vance Astro as Justice and all of the bomber jacket versions are factors. Magdeline, Javert Swordsman and Deathcry are honorary members. Masque is honorary as well, but she's really just an alternate head when they update Madame Masque. Jack of Hearts, Triathlon/3-D Man, Silverclaw and Lionheart wrap up the classic Avengers. Gypsy Scarlet Witch would be an amazing figure. Many, many Iron Man armors and Wasp costumes would complete several teams and eras as well.

With US Agent, Speedball and Blue Marvel, plus one of the big three as the A list anchor, that's probably it for the Avengers men. The other three slots - female Avengers and enemies.

If I were to pick the remaining spots: Moondragon Mantis Count Nefaria Titania BAF - Skurge

Probably a reboot to realign the comics closer with the upcoming MCU films and Disney + shows.

With all of the wave rumors and confirmations, especially if both Disney+ waves are strictly MCU and the Iron Man wave rumors are correct, there is no place for Tigra in any of these lineups, so she probably isn't the character with a tail.

Carol Danvers costumes are nearly complete, right? Unless I'm totally miscalculating, all she needs are: Original Kree red and blue costume, which has two versions - bare midriff and covered midriff. Sometimes with 1970's disco hair, sometimes with long hair. Binary, which would be awesome in a Starjammers box set. Black and white costume with armored pieces, which always looked more like a Sharon Carter look, also that I could live without. Not my favorite.
