Most wanted Marvel Legends MCU figures from each 2021 Phase 4 project

After a bit of a lull between Marvel between with Far From Home to this year, Marvel has come back in full force and swinging wildly. Not just with the amount of MCU related projects being released (which is extensive) but the amount of figures being produced by Hasbro as well! They're working overtime at this point to assure that most of the cast of each movie is covered with a film's release, and so for once coming around to the MCU releases this year a lot of these shows and movies have been pretty well filled out. There's always room for more on the action figure shelf however, and with 2021 stampeding to an end let's look at each of the MCU's outings from phase 4 this year and what characters still need figures most! Spoilers ahead!



Wandavision: Agatha Harkness
Wanda's Scarlet Witch costume looks incredible and I'm so glad we got a figure of it quickly, and White Vision was going to be an inevitability anyways; however, we're still missing the show's primary villain! Agatha Harkness had been stoking Wanda's madness for the length of the show, and revealed her desire for power by the end with her donning a very elegant and striking witch's outfit. That would be awesome to see in figure form, especially paired up with Wanda!


Falcon and the Winter Soldier: Flag Smasher and Falcon

Just like with Wandavision, we're missing the primary antagonist from Falcon and the Winter Soldier with the Flag Smashers being absent from the toyline! We got a lot from this show which I'm not complaining about, with Sam's Captain America being a stand out from the lot, alongside Zemo, Bucky, and both versions of John Walker! The Flag Smasher would be a great adversary for the villains shelf though, along with Sam's red and white Falcon uniform!


Loki: Classic Loki
For me, the Loki show was stolen by Classic Loki played by Richard E. Grant! The hilariously comic accurate costume was fun to see in life action, and his role in the episode by projecting a humongous illusion of Asgard was one of my favorite moments from the show as well.


Black Widow: I guess Dreykov
I personally would like to call Black Widow a closed book in terms of action figures. We got all the primary characters, Natasha in both of her outfits, but I guess we are technically missing the main villain of the flick. Dreykov is someone I keep forgetting existed in the movie, but to truly say the movie's action figure line is done we'd have to include him too. Bonus points if Marvel makes it a scratch and sniff figure to emulate his body pheromonal plot armor.


What If?: Ultron
It was awesome to get so many What If...? figures up front for the release of one of Marvel's most varied shows! Zombie Cap and Doctor Strange Supreme are among my favorites, but with a show where each episode is its own plots and universes there are still so many figures to be made and front and foremost is definitely Ultron! I'm not sure why all of the villains are being left out of the toylines when it comes to these Disney+ shows, but Ultron was easily my second favorite character and episode in the entire series (Behind Doctor Strange Supreme) and would make for an awesome What If...? centerpiece. 


Shang-Chi: Abomination and Razorfist

Just like Black Widow, Shang-Chi got a pretty decent delivering of action figures. I can think of two characters from the movie thought that are definitely up for the figure treatment, one being a big supporting character and the other being a fun cameo. Abomination's return to the MCU was short but very sweet, with him sporting an awesome new design that I hope to see more of. Razorfist's involvement in the film was much more lengthy, and his bus fight sequence with Shang-Chi remains one of the most memorable parts of the film!


Eternals: Arishem
I am astounded that Marvel went the distance and gave us every single Eternal from the movie all in one go, and even included Kro as a deluxe release! It was fantastic to see such a large cast be put into figure form so immediately with no wait! The figure I'd like from the movie at this point would be Arishem...somehow. He is absolutely gargantuan and there is no way we'd get an in scale version of him, but I'd easily settle for something along the size of Surtur (who is out of scale himself) or something a little bigger. I loved the design of this celestial, and it would be such a great addition to the Eternals shelf!


Hawkeye: Kingpin
Kingpin was such a great inclusion for the Hawkeye show and I'm so glad to have him in the MCU again, hopefully as a bigger presence going forward! We never got an action figure of him based on the Daredevil show, so hopefully with the positive reception from his return Hasbro can get to work on a new figure based on his Hawkeye or Daredevil appearances!


Spiderman No Way Home: Green Goblin
Oh boy. Oh boy oh boy oh boy. I really loved Spiderman No Way Home and getting to see all the returning heroes and villains, especially with the villains sporting new looks in some of their cases! Green Goblin is the one whose redesign I enjoyed the most, with the purple hood and goggles really making the look complete for me! I also can't get over Green Goblin as the villain of the movie, and how absolutely vile and menacing he was, bringing a new level of evil to the MCU that needs needs NEEDS to be immortalized in action figure form!
