Avengers Endgame is the ultimate culmination of the MCU's 11 year run, but the Marvel Legends representation seems a bit small. It is nothing like what we got for Infinity War, leaving several main players out with tons of potential figures not being taken advantage of! I'm thinking that due to spoilers, the big product push is being saved for a bit later, and I already have a few dozen figures on my wishlist to be made! So here are my top 5 most wanted Endgame Marvel Legends figures!
Spoilers, obviously.

Honorable mention: accurate Cull Obsidian
Is this one that I think is likely to happen? No, not really, but It'd be really appreciated by fans everywhere. The fact we even got him as a build a figure seems incredible, but it was based on concept art and therefore wildly inaccurate. We need an accurate version of him in order to truly represent the Black Order now that we finally got the final two members. Maybe an anniversary two pack down the line?

5. Updated Nebula, Black Widow, Rocket, and Hawkeye
The second wave of figures for the film was revealed and include War Machine's look from the end of the film which is one I sorely wanted, being one of the coolest variations of his costume and one of the bulkiest. This spot is a bit of a cheat since it includes several characters, but I want them all and can't really choose between them. I want a fully rounded out team of "5 years later" Avengers! We got Hawkeye in his quantum outfit, and his fully decked out Ronin costume; however, I want the unmasked version of him with the bow and arrow from later in the film once they've started their time travel hi jinks. Rocket could be sold as a two pack with himself, both the quantum suit and the regular suit he wore, Black Widow definitely needs a figure to represent this version of her as she was our first causality and it is our last time seeing her in present day MCU (I assume her solo movie will be a prequel and they won't resurrect her). Nebula went from a character that I felt was a one note forgettable villain in Guardians 1, to a character who stood with the Avengers in their culmination film, as well as one of my favorite characters. We recently got a figure of her to represent Guardians 1, but we need the version of her wearing the Ravagers outfit to represent not only Guardians 2, but both Infinity War and Endgame! We're off to a good start with War Machine, now we just need the others.

4. Smart Hulk
We were so close to getting a figure of him, but instead the Hulk in wave 2 is based on the sequence in which they travel back to New York. Why go for the shirtless version that didn't do anything and was barely around? We already have dozens of Hulks without a shirt, his big thing in this movie was wearing a shirt! I am hoping that there are more figures planned for this version of Hulk, who is my favorite version of the Ruffalo Hulk, and while I'd take him in his quantum suit I'd prefer him in the purple jumpsuit he wore in the finale.

3. Final battle Thor
I know a lot of people didn't like this take on Thor, but I actually did. It sends the message that superheroes don't have to be insanely ripped, and I feel like it was also hemming him closer to the kind of man his father was. With the longer facial hair, and the rounder body, Thor seems to be becoming more like his father. I loved him duel wielding the hammer and the axe, the look of his braided beard was a cool one, and I really enjoyed his journey from doubting himself to realizing once again that he was worthy. We also haven't yet received a Thor figure for Endgame's product run, which is crazy.

2. Iron Man final suit
Iron Man really is one of the most incredible heroes to cross the silver screen, and that was more prominent than ever in this film. Aside from an alternate head in the quantum suit two pack, there is no Iron Man figure for Endgame which is a crime, incredibly surprising, and that more than anything leads me to believe that more figures are planned. This suit was very comic accurate with the golden biceps and thighs, and now that we're getting a Rescue figure we'll need Tony's final suit to pair them together, aside from just owning one of the coolest suits from Tony's greatest moment.

1. Captain America final suit
In my theater, it was Captain America that got the loudest round of applause and it was during their fight against Thanos prior to the rest of the Avengers arriving. Captain America wielding Thor's hammer was one of the greatest moments I've seen in the MCU, and this movie more than any other helped prove Steve's heroism. The only figure we've received for him is a quantum realm suit with an inaccurate head sculpt and color scheme, which hasn't been well received by fans, but this is a figure that certainly would. Give him the broken shield, a hand to hold the hammer, and I'll be happy.
