Kingpin is very aggravating and unacceptable.  I expect it will show in a box set with four other figures I already own ::)

If they can make Doop and Howard the Duck, they should make a Bucky.  Pack him in with the Falcon.

I'm kind of like Brent...growing up it was Spidey first and foremost, then some X-Men and the occasional Wolverine book, then a little bit of Fantastic Four.  I have a few Iron Man/Avengers comics as well, but the first 2 were the main ones for me growing up.  I have a Spidey comic where Wolverine makes an apperance, as well as Wendigo.  Psylocke might kind of a cool character to have in the line, but I'd probably only pick it up if I end up getting Jean Grey or Storm or another female character by that point.  Don't get me wrong, I think many of those figures will be great and should make a lot of people happy...but I really just need to try to limit things a little bit, simply running out of room for the stuff right now.

That said, I can't believe Kingpin continues to be neglected.  I really hope that we see him in figure form sometime soon, whether it is in Legends or Spidey Classics.  He seems to be a glaring omission right now, alongside a few others.  Otherwise, like mentioned earlier, they are kind of stretching the term "Legends", but maybe we take it too literally :).  Speaking of Legends, has anyone been finding Series 9?  It seems like its been kind of quiet on the Marvel front lately, but maybe that's because my focus has been on Star Wars.  Going to be a big enough year spending wise with SW, so I'm attempting to limit my Marvel purchases to just Spidey and his world, the Fantastic Four, and the last few "main" X-Men I'd like to pick up (Cyclops, Nightcrawler, Prof X of what has been announced).  Otherwise, overall in the Legends line, I think I'd have to agree with Scott, it seems like the Avengers still has the most untapped character lineup...should possibly shift a little more focus in that direction.

Psylocke is one of the characters I really wanted to see made.  I'd agree that prior to her ninja transformation she was a rather weak character, but post that change she was pretty nasty, so well deserving of a figure.  I honestly thought they'd make her before Rogue. 

I was never all that much of an Avengers (or FF) fan, though I was a little more into the West Coast Avengers. 

They should just do a classic Astonishing X-men box set and have that done with.  I'd buy it, but won't buy any pieces singly beforehand because you just have to know they'll eventually make  a box set.  It's a heck of a way to make yet another Beast figure, though this one wouldn't have hair.  But a classic Angel, Cyclops and Beast would be neat.

She-Hulk, must make She-Hulk.  Marvel Select convention exclusive coming, but they can do better than that for the rest of us.

I'd like to see a decent Carnage with interchangable hands, ala Sandman in the spidey line.

I'll definitely be picking up the Marvel Select Shulkie at Wizard World in Philly.  They need to put her in the ML lineup too.

But how could I forget the Blob?  Or Pyro and Avalanche for that matter?  Need to fill out the ranks of the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants.

Have they made a Mr. Fix It for either the Classic Hulk Line or any other Marvel line?

That and a grossly overpriced Absorbing man are the only two figures I got from that line.  They were quite well done overall and I'd rather have a few more of those than the original Marvel Legends version and the movie one my daughter made me buy.

Marvel Legends still needs to touch on the grey Hulk as he appeared before the debut of Mr. Fixit.  While we have a good origin grey Hulk, Mr Fixit, and an Ultimate Universe grey Hulk, I want to see the grey Hulk from when Banner was recombined with the green, savage Hulk.
