Batroc (NOT Zemo) was teased for ML wave 4 with Blizzard and Songbird and Moonstone. Zemo is coming to MU. Baron Zemo already has a MU figure. He was in the SDCC exclusive Masters of Evil set. As for these BAF's, other than Iron Monger these most recent ones really suck. I could really do without Puck, Rocket Raccoon and that monkey guy.

Way more deserving figures to be made, and they don't even need to be above the average height. New Venom would be cool, Juggernaut.... As if smaller figures of lesser characters will make collectors want to buy the whole wave.

Especially when Marvel Select's Juggernaut is amazing looking, and the new Venom coming out looks great as well. Still, the smaller BAFs don't do it for me. I liked Apocalypse and the Sentinel. Hit Monkey just has no appeal for me at all.

I'm also pleased to finally see a ML Puck. He's a fun character. Would be good to see more Alpha Flight figures.
A ML Sebastian Shaw would be cool to see sometime as well, surprised they haven't got around to him yet considering he was featured in First Class.

You're just not the targeted audience for this line. What do you mean? Judging from every place I've seen in a 50 mile radius there isn't a target audience as they seem to warm shelves and I've seen the same mix of 2 sets for probably around a year. I purchased Fantomex, and that's the only of the current era I've laid the cash down for. Honestly, I think his gripes are very valid as this line just doesn't seem to have the appeal it needs to move units. A very curious selection of heroes and BAFs from my perspective as well

^^I own a good amount of Toybiz/Hasbro ML, maybe 80%-90%, but the Hit Monkey wave leaves me cold. I haven't ordered a single figure from this series, yet I did order a case from the last three. Overall my favorite 6" Marvel series of last year was the WM excl. movie Avengers. Maybe the ML character selection is a bit off.

You're just not the targeted audience for this line. And I suppose you're suggesting the target audience are the 'hardcore' collectors who want every obscure character under the sun? Then how come they keep releasing the 1501th Wolverine or Iron Man? Obviously to get this line to move Hasbro needs to bring in the casual fans who recognise the more well known characters, and don't mind buying those figures. Which suggests there is no specific 'target audience' if they are catering to both demographics. I for one am not a hardcore collector, instead only buy characters to do with X-men or Spider-man, and even then I don't buy every repaint. But that still doesn't mean that people similar to me can't voice their opinions and not applaud every move by Hasbro for bringing out what we deem 'less important' characters.

The only other thing I can say is if they're gonna make freakin' Rocket Racoon, then they better make the rest of the GotG. He may be a "fun" addition, but he's worthless without the others. Same with Puck and the Alpha Flight.
As for Hit Monkey, I fail to see what's so fun about it.

I know there was Vindicator and Sasquatch, at least.

Guardian (Vindicator) had a figure in the Holocaust wave. Northstar and Aurora had protos but never got made.

Yeah, that's right Guardian did have a figure. I just looked it up on amazon though and the asking price is $90, so unless you're willing to shell out that kind of money for a figure you're sh*t out of luck. I missed out on all the older ML figures because back during their Toybiz days some of them were ridiculously hard to find so I just said it, sold the figures I had and gave up. I'm all for the more obscure guys getting figures but they need to throw a bone to guys like me that missed out on the more well known characters. A lot of them go for $100 or more which really sucks because I'd give anything to rebuild my ML collection.

Guardian (Vindicator) had a figure in the Holocaust wave. Northstar and Aurora had protos but never got made. Huh, I never knew that. From searching that info I found a picture of a bunch of unreleased ML figures: Never knew about any of those, but I did know there was a Hasbro ML Multiple Man proto that was never released. Do you (or anyone) know of any other ML figures that had protos but didn't actually get released? To be honest once Toybiz lost the license to Hasbro I lost interest in the ML line a bit so I probably didn't notice a ton of released/proto Marvel Legends figures. The original Hasbro Marvel Legends series was a real drop in quality from Toybiz in my opinion. The recent figures look pretty good quality though. I think they'd have to start pumping out more X-men, particularly Jim Lee costumes, to get my interest. At the moment I'm barely seeing anything that interests me. My top wants would be: -Cyclops (Jim Lee) - since the skinny XMC Toybiz figure looked like crap -Jean Grey (New X-men) -Morph (X-men The Animated Series) -Multiple Man (X-Factor) -Mystique ("Nude"/Movie inspired look) -Sebastian Shaw But I'd also quite like to see them make these too: -(the rest of) Alpha Flight -Lilandra -Morlocks (e.g. Callisto, Annalee, Leech) -Mr. Sinister - hated the weird looking Toybiz ML -Ruckus -Sauron -Savage Land mutants (e.g. Amphibius, Barbarus, Vertigo) Man there are so many awesome characters in X-men, really takes me back to the 90s animated series, I used to love that show so much as a kid (and still do).

I would love it if they made more Hellfire Club and Shi'ar characters like Shaw and Lilandra.
