Would you trade it towards that Polamalu Variant you got me?  ;D

If there's any doubt that the world thinks the Marvel Legends Emma Frost looks like a piece of crap, just ebay past auctions for the Select version. :o  And not the 'ice' version either, that can still be had at moderate and reasonable prices.  $100 for MOMC ::)  I'm living without that character, either until they re-release the Select version or forever.

Thats just for MOMC though you can get a "loose" one for 30-45 bucks.

Yeah, but that's pretty much an indication that the ML version is a POS too.  Brand new, MOMC Marvel Legends Emma Frost: $10.  Loose, abused Marvel Select Emma Frost: $40.

Enchantress would be very cool and a nice addition to the Thor/Loki collection. 

Mole Man would be neat too.

Tombstone (cross pollinating with Spidey) I'm itching for, Chameleon too.

I have the Marvel Select Diamond version and it a million times better than the new Legends piece. I am still looking to pick up the skin form of the Select piece. But I am being patient on this as I was with the Phoenix piece.

I like Scott's list, and agree, after the next wave (and rumored third wave), things are really getting pretty well covered.  I'm questioning how much further I want/need to go with this line, although I do really enjoy it.  There are a few things I'd like to see redone or re-released (Dr. Doom - maybe make a 6" version of the upcoming Icons, or release the original), and some I didn't get from battle packs (Black Cat), but as far as new characters - here's a few I could think of taking Wave 2 and the rumored Wave 3 into account.  I'll just put Spidey characters in there too, since we don't know what's going on with Classics/Origins.  In no particular order, here's some I wouldn't mind seeing - but like Scott said, I can live without them too, its just gravy at this point:

Black Bolt
Tigra
Mole Man
US Agent
Union Jack
Nova
Cloak and Dagger
Chameleon
Hammerhead
Tombstone
Molecule Man

I'm sure there are others I'm not thinking of (and the ones that Scott listed earlier), but I can't think of many others right off hand.  Well, aside from the Spidey dream box set that Brent has mentioned before (MJ, Gwen, Betty Brant, Robbie, Aunt May, JJJ, etc.).  That would be quite cool, although I don't expect it.  You would think that Hasbro would definitely have to get into re-doing figures or something in a few more waves.  There is a lot of MU to get to yet, but its getting to the point where it might be entire waves of C-listers.

I was just looking at this thread over at the Fwoosh, and a member has posted what was listed on that "Hasbro list" where we got the lineups for SW later this year (as well as GI Joe).  There is mention of some "Build a Figure" waves focusing on both the Fantastic Four and Spider-Man.  I'm not sure if they are movie, Legends, what scale or anything - but there's more at the linky.  The poster said the person who had the list said these were "ML Build a Figure Waves" and nothing else was listed aside from waves that were already known.  Here's what is listed:

1246 HAS78162 MVL LGNDS F4 BLD A FIG ASST 6-53569-25320-4 8
1247 MVL LEGENDS F4 MR. FANTASTIC 6-53569-25321-1
1248 MVL LEGENDS F4 INVISIBLE WOMAN 6-53569-25322-8
1249 MVL LEGENDS F4 THING 6-53569-25323-5
1250 MVL LEGENDS F4 HUMAN TORCH 6-53569-25324-2
1251 MVL LEGENDS F4 SILVER SURFER 6-53569-25325-9
1252 MVL LEGENDS F4 DR. DOOM 6-53569-25326-6
1253 MVL LEGENDS F4 MOLE MAN 6-53569-25327-3
1254 MVL LEGENDS F4 NAMOR 6-53569-25328-0

1421 HAS69242 SPDRMN BUILD A SRS FIG ASST 6-53569-24828-6 8
1422 SPD BUILD A SERIES SANDMAN 6-53569-25823-0
1423 SPD BUILD A SERIES BLACK SPIDER-MAN 6-53569-25824-7
1424 SPD BUILD A SERIES VENOM 6-53569-25825-4
1425 SPD BUILD A SERIES HOBGOBLIN 6-53569-25826-1
1426 SPD BUILD A SERIES DOC OCK 6-53569-25827-8
1427 SPD BUILD A SERIES GREEN GOBLIN 6-53569-25828-5
1428 SPD BUILD A SERIES MARY JANE 6-53569-25829-2
1429 SPD BUILD A SERIES SPIDER-MAN 3 6-53569-25830-8

Also, a whole mess of Icons figures, if this is accurate:

1205 MVL LEGENDS ICON FIGURE PUNISHER 6-53569-20554-8
1206 MVL LEGENDS ICON FIGURE THOR 6-53569-20556-2
1207 MVL LEGENDS ICONS DOCTOR DOOM 6-53569-22134-0
1208 MVL LEGENDS ICON WOLVERINE 6-53569-21186-0
1209 MVL LEGENDS ICON HUMAN TORCH 6-53569-23110-3
1210 MVL LEGENDS ICON SILVER SURFER 6-53569-23111-0
1211 MVL LEGENDS ICON CYCLOPS 6-53569-25352-5
1212 MVL LEGENDS ICON MAGNETO 6-53569-25353-2
1213 MVL LEGENDS ICON DAREDEVIL 6-53569-25355-6
1214 MVL LEGENDS ICON PHOENIX 6-53569-25358-7
1215 MVL LEGENDS ICON COLOSSUS 6-53569-25357-0
1216 MVL LEGENDS ICON NIGHTCRAWLER 6-53569-25354-9
1217 MVL LEGENDS ICON HUMAN TORCH 6-53569-25350-1
1218 MVL LEGENDS ICON DAREDEVIL 6-53569-25356-3
1219 MVL LEGENDS ICON PHOENIX 6-53569-25359-4

It is also mentioned that movie stuff was mentioned for Spidey, F4, and Ghost Rider - but he wasn't sent that information.  Again, grain of salt, but this could be interesting.  I know we've gotten many of those figures before, and who knows if they are new or repackaged, but I wouldn't mind having a Legends scale Mary Jane and Moleman.  Actually, aside from the Thing, I display the movie versions of the F4 - so we could probably use some new, better versions of the F4.  Doom would be welcome by me as well, as I missed the earlier ML version.

Notice F4's wave says Build a figure and Spidey's wave is Build a series.  What's the difference?  Spidey's wave also doesn't say MVL LEGENDS, but SPD (which in my line of work means "Special Projects Division" but probably doesn't mean the same thing here :P).

Too lazy to go look at Fwoosh right now, but I agree that I'm keen on a Mary Jane figure and the Mole Man from FF.  I still need a Reed Richards figure as well, so hopefully this one is well done.  I'll be hard pressed to pick up enough to build whatever it is that's supposed to be built though.

The Spidey line sure looks like a movie line though based on the characters.  Though are there spoilers in there: Green Goblin (Harry), Hobgoblin (??)?  Depending on what they look like, I'll pick up one each of the respective Spiderman figures, MJ and then see what they look like from there. 

Icons....bleah. ;)

Yeah, hopefully Toy Fair will help to sort some of this out.  Hopefully they are comic based, but its hard to say.  The poster mentioned that the Spidey and F4 "movie" lines were listed seperately on this list, but maybe those are the new 5" line and they are doing one/two waves of 6" movie figures in this Build-A-Waves.  Of course I could see both of these waves having mostly repacks, and maybe one or two new figures (such as MJ and Mole Man), which would probably infuriate people wanting the BAF.

I'm betting MJ is a repack of the first spidey movie figure too. 

Changing topics, is anyone seeing series 2 of the Face Off packs at retail?  I was holding out hope they'd either become plentiful or just drop in price, but it appears not to be the case.  I'd been hoping for the Jigsaw/Punisher variant pack (thankfully I'd never purchased a Punisher figure) and the Mandarin/IM variant pack too, but I'd settle for just the Mandarin figure itself and the regular at that.  So what's the word, anything out there or all gone?
