ML Secret Wars

Hi, guys, it's my first post here. I hope you all had a great weekend. I'm not sure if we'll see any Secret Wars reveals tomorrow, but I'd certainly welcome them. If the leaked list is true, I have no idea which version of Spider-Man we'd end up seeing. I'm sure it'd just be the classic red-and-blue suit, but I know some folks want the "battle damaged" suit version. If that's the look they choose, I think it'd be cool to see him have an accessory of the black alien ball and an alternate black hand to show the symbiote going up his arm like in the comic. Also, new figures for Constrictor, Absorbing Man, classic Falcon and red suit Daredevil are all long overdue. And there has to be at least one female figure in the wave like last time, right? Volcana is my top choice, but I wouldn't object to Wasp or She-Hulk.

If we get more solo releases for the Retro "Secret Wars" wave, my main wants are Thor (I know, we have the rumored Maximum series figure, but it'd be nice to get a new Thor for under fifty bucks), Hulk with butterfly shoulder joints and with better face sculpts and hair for the alternate heads (I want to know what Hasbro was thinking for the hideous head sculpts for the Marvel Legends 20th Anniversary and Maximum figures for our Green Goliath), Doctor Octopus on an updated body mold with bendable wire tentacles, classic Doctor Doom with some "Kirby crackle" energy effect accessories for his hands, Nightcrawler or Mr. Fantastic, and Volcana. I would've mentioned Colossus, but I'm content with the new Astonishing X-Men two-pack figure I've pre-ordered. It'd also be nice to have any of the Wrecking Crew finally get the Marvel Legends treatment and a non-exclusive classic Lizard that I can actually find. I never got my Wal-Mart Retro Lizard figure I ordered and the current Amazon exclusive figure remains sold out, so it'd be nice to add the Lizard to my shelf.
 
With all due respect to Magik, if they are gonna put a Secret Wars 2-adjacent character in the wave, I’d want it to be Circuit-Breaker.
Magik can go with the many X-Men releases, and I will enthusiastically buy her. But come on! Give Circuit-Breaker a chance in the only place she’s likely to fit!

Until Volcana is on my shelf, I don't want to see any character outside of Secret Wars I or the Mattel Secret Wars toy line in any subsequent wave. Any character in the Secret Wars II mini-series and adjacent single tie-in issues can just wait.

I agree that Volcana is the priority. But beyond that I was thinking it would be cool if this sub-line went on like an extension of the original 80s toy line, which used "Secret Wars" as a catch-all for characters like Daredevil, Falcon, and Baron Zemo. Keep a Spidey or Cap or Iron Man anchor in each wave but then throw in another classic comic character like Stingray or Wizard...a line that taps nostalgia while also giving us classic comic characters, like a Legends version of what they did with the Retro 375 line.

Yep.
I'd even go so far as adding Wasp in her Secret Wars costume and Thing in his black wrestling gear to my list, right after Volcana.

I was a fan of that run of "The Thing"... he stayed behind on the battle world because he could transform... dare I say I'd take an untransformed Ben Grimm??!!

I'd take a new red elektra. The last one was fine but it had the pinned joints which are gummy and bow out, and single elbows instead of doubles. I'd consider a 2nd one just for parts lol.

A decked out Elektra would make a great Maximum figure.
