Top 50 Most Needed Marvel Legends (2023 edition)

I had to make some tough cuts even to some essential characters, but I've cobbled together a Top 50 figure list for which members of the Avengers, X-Men, Fantastic Four, Alpha Flight and more.

Let me know what you think and feel free to drop your most wanted lists in the comments.

[FirstLast-fcdt]

All these list will be replaced by more spiderman, wolvie and ironman😂

[aaronwiley]

Here's what we need: Vanguard, Charlie 27, Nikki, Starhawk, Aleta, Martinex, Along with Gorgon, Crystal, Triton, Lockjaw and Maximus and Hepzibah and Raza, Salem Seven, Wrecking Crew, Frightful Four and Serpent Society and U-Foes

Great list, Jeffrey! We're on the same page in a lot of ways so there is a lot of overlap on our lists but I also want some of the more esoteric and weirdo characters from the '70s. I also included a few figures on my list that have already been made but might have been 10+ years ago and they need a redo (Annihilus, for example).

1. Wasp (classic)
2. She-Hulk (Sensational)
3. She-Hulk (FF)
4. Goliath (Pym)
5. Yellowjacket
6. Beast (Perez-style)
7. Falcon (classic)
8. Iron Fist
9. Iron Man (Neo-classic armor)
10. Iron Man (deep sea armor)
11. Ms. Marvel (Carol)
12. Mantis
13. Swordsman
14. Adam Warlock (Starlin era)
15. Gamora
16. Kitty Pryde
17. Rogue (Brotherhood)
18. Banshee (green)
19. Angel (red and white)
20. Mole Man
21. Mad Thinker
22. Awesome Android
23. Annihilus (remake)
24. Abomination (remake)
25. Hela
26. Executioner
27. Titania
28. Madame Masque
29. Absorbing Man (remake)
30. Titanium Man
31. Mephisto
32. Nightmare
33. Baron Mordo
34. Zzzax
35. Wrecker
36. Piledriver
37. Thunderball
38. Bulldozer
39. Ghost
40. Werewolf by Night
41. Dracula
42. Monster of Frankenstein
43. N’Kantu the Living Mummy
44. Brother Voodoo
45. Satana
46. Daimon Hellstrom
47. Man-Thing
48. Blade (classic)
49. Lilith (Dracula’s Daughter)
50. Howard the Duck

Don’t care. I want all new characters. Please Hasbro. No more Iron Man, Captain America or Spider-Man figures.

[Thor]

Great selection. I would like to add more Asgardians.

Balder
Fandral
Hogun
Volkstag
Karnilla
Kurse

[RisingBean]

Our lists are vastly different. I won't try to cram in 50 here, but the Bi-Beast, Bushmaster, Cardiac, Champion of the Universe, Ogun, Razorfist (MCU preference, but I'll take 616), and a Warriors 3 3-pack are at the top of my list.

[damienkakoschke]

Also, regarding X-Men, Psylockes original X-Men look (glad to hear her next costume, the armour, is coming), Rogue in her early punk look (black body stocking with assorted bits of green clothing on top, with the shoulder length, spiky hair, between her original look and her outback look). Speaking of outback x-men, maybe also Gateway. The New Mutants in their graduation uniforms would be cool (the ones drawn by Art Adams, can't remember if it was an annual where the team saved the X-Men from Mojo or Loki).

[fieryvengeance]

A danny ketch ghost rider and bike would be day one buy for me.

[gunamora]

Beta Ray Bill, The Beyonder, and Adam Warlock. That is all.

[edwardstewart]

Black Panther comic book version, Ghost Rider, 90s Iron Man from the animated series, every version of the Fantastic Four comic book, Silver Surfer, every version of Thor with all Asguardian heroes & villains, Hulk Agents Of Smash, Spider-Man Web Warriors, Avengers Assemble, and a limited edition of 70s Power Man and Iron Fist needs to have their own line.

[brettoneal]

Heck yeah Marrina and BOX! 2. -pack would be great !

[austincrafton]

I love your list. We also need 2.0 blue marvel helmet version figure & we need a updated bald headed Luke cage figure & patriot, updated Ms marvel aka Carol Danvers figure.

[blaketarpley]

Love it Jeff. Great list. You had me thinking about the Medusa and how they would tackle that. You said bendy wire and yes! What about a mass of hair that has 4 bendy tails/tufts of hair that curve and touch down, lifting her up about an inch off the ground? For Kirby, sadly I don't think Marvel would ever put him out. Money would have to go to the Kirby estate away from Marvel and they had that lawsuit awhile back that gave Kirby co-creator status. So Marvel I think has a love/hate with him. With Neca, there's just one level of getting rights and payment directly to the family.
Heres some of mine:
Classic Beta Ray Bill
Yellow Jacket
Wonder Man-in his villain first appearance red and green costume
Angel-red or blue 
Classic Falcon
Warriors 3
Balder
Wrecking Crew
Absorbing Man
Secret Wars costume Wasp
Titania- on the new Power Princess buck
Sif
Whiplash- would love the classic green ponytail version
Crimson Dynamo (but the Select version will do)
Star Fox
QuickSilver -green costume
WarBird
Doc Sampson
'nuff said
excelsior!

[Sprocketman]

The Mirage Comics Ninja Turtles line from NECA is actually giving us a Jack Kirby amazingly, and they're six-inch scale, so that might do a decent job of scratching that itch

[jarmandoromero]

Would like to see the classic 90s version of the Winter guard members, Perun, Vostok & Fantasma.

[sonofjackwell]

Personally, I am less interested in different versions of characters that have already gotten the Marvel Legends treatment than I am in characters we have not yet seen. For example, am I the only one who wants to see Marvel Legends versions of Wyatt Wingfoot and Two-Gun Kid? I would also love to see versions of the Frightful Four's Wizard and The Trapster (aka Paste-Pot Pete). One of my biggest complaints about any Fantastic Four wave is that they always include the four core members which severely limits the other characters in the wave. I would like to see an FF wave that consisted 100% of villains (besides Dr. Doom) and supporting characters. An Impossible Man would be fun. I would also like to see more obscure Avengers such as Dr. Druid and Moondragon as a single. I would also like to see Swordman and Triathlon as you mentioned. And speaking of Swordsman, how about a comic accurate version of Mantis?

1st before watching I gotta say my top 3 things I need from Marvel. Number 1 a 2 pack of wolverine and deadpool in canadian themed gear. Including 3 beer drinking beavers and some maple syrup. Number 2 a 5 pack giving us repaints of X-Force black and grey. I.e. cannonball, nightcrawler, Angel, Colosis, warpath Number 3 a Major Maple Leaf figure with his horse in a deluxe riders series.
