Marvel Legends has really started to ramp up its coverage of the MCU movies within its 6 inch line of figures these last couple of years. The 10th anniversary wave, and the 80th anniversary waves both look to deliver several movie characters who were left out when their initial movie line rolled through, and I think that looks back into the past and present of the MCU will continue. Out of the five on my last list of most wanted MCU Marvel Legends figures, Kilgrave and Abomination were the only two not to be made so far, but I have plenty of other characters to populate this new list. The history of the MCU is vast, and the character selection pool remains wide open, and here are a few of the characters I think would look good in figure form.

Honorable mention: Kilgrave
I really do want this figure, but with Marvel's Netflix presence essentially gone at this point and all but forgotten, I can't see the line really revisiting any of the characters from those shows. That first batch of Netflix figures is likely all we'll ever get, but more characters from those shows would be a pleasant surprise.

Heimdall
Out of all of the Asgardian characters still absent from the line, this guy is a major omission in that he was one of the coolest characters of the Thor trilogy. Played greatly by Idris Elba, Heimdall even made appearances in a few of the Avengers films before his death in Infinity War. We finally got a Sif figure, we're getting an Executioner figure, so the train of Thor characters must keep going and give us this gold plated warrior.

Kaecilius vs Ancient One two pack
This would be a clever product to push out, especially with the Ancient One's unexpected presence in the newest Avengers movie, not to mention the rumors that she might pop up again in the Doctor Strange sequel. Kaecilius was a visually compelling character with his sorcerer robes, and especially the deformity of his eyes would could potentially be great in figure form. The Ancient One was a major character in the Doctor Strange film, and would be great in figure form as well as adding another female figure to balance out the genders.

Quicksilver
Say what you will about Quicksilver's limited time in the MCU, I thought he was really cool. I truly wish that Marvel hadn't killed him off and we could have seen more of him with his sister in Civil War, Infinity War, and Endgame, which could have been a very cool duo in fights. His outfit in the end of the movie I thought looked neat, and the blue effects when he was running looked very cool in my opinion.

Whiplash
Just like Quicksilver, this guy gets a lot of flak for being an underdeveloped character, but that doesn't change the fact that as a figure he would turn out extremely great. I would prefer his looked from early in the film, when he attacked Tony during the race, but his fully armored look from the end of the film would also be very toyetic and work as a toy.

Iron Monger
This was the villain that started it all, that kick started the whole MCU and fought Iron Man as the first of many villains. Iron Monger isn't talked about enough, and when it comes to action figures, he should have been one of the first figures released in an anniversary wave. His armor was very cool, very bulky, and as far as figures go this guy would dominate any display he is in.

Abomination
He was on the last list, and he's stuck around for this list. Abomination was a savage, ruthless villain in the Hulk movie that everyone seems to want to forget. I thought that as a movie it was really cool though, and as far as villains go I found Abomination very entertaining and visually compelling. He would make for a massive and amazing figure if he ever gets to be made, and as the second villain of the MCU, and one of the few still alive, I think he deserves more credit.

Endgame Iron Man and Thor
I am absolutely amazed that we do not have these two already. Hulk was in the second wave of Endgame figures, though not necessarily the version I preferred, and we finally got Captain America as a Walmart exclusive. We are still missing the other two major characters from the film though, with Thor being a headlining character, and Iron Man being arguably the actual main character of the film, it is surprising that neither of these characters have figures yet. Thor could be seen as a spoiler, but Tony is just wearing another version of the Iron Man armor, so why hasn't that been made yet?
