    Any Ditko villains would be awesome - Electro, Mysterio, Kraven, Dormammu, etc. Bring on the bad guys!

      My guess for the 8 additional figures would be:
      Doctor Doom
      Wolverine
      Deadpool
      Black Panther
      Dr. Strange
      Daredevil
      Vision
      Dr. Octopus

      I definitely want them to make these but would switch out a few with any of the following, just to start to round out some teams:
      Scarlet Witch
      Venom
      Cyclops
      Silver Surfer
      Magneto
      Iceman
      Beast
      Loki

            A classic costume Spider-Woman would be great. I am in favor of sculpted hair, not doll hair.

            Who I would like to see, and who I think is financially viable (Deadpool, Miles) might be two different lists.

            I agree, would love to see some Ditko villains.

              My guess is they'll re-release some of the figures from the Diamond Select line from a few years ago:

              Daredevil
              Deadpool
              Wolverine
              Punisher (this might be a longshot, due to the current social/political climate)

              Also, I wouldn't be surprised to see the retooled/updated versions from the Diamond Select line pop up amongst the new Marvel Megos:

              Spider-Man
              Captain America
              Thor

              All of the above seem pretty logical choices, since the tooling, suit patterns and gear likely reverted back to Paul/Dr. Mego after the DS line ended. Re-releasing the figures would be a cost-effective option, fill some gaps, and we may get figures that were hinted at, but passed over the first time:

              Pirate Deadpool
              Spider-Man 2099

              Just a thought. Your mileage may vary.
              "It's sad that governments are chiefed by the double tongues. There is iron in your words of death for all Comanche to see, and so there is iron in your words of life. No signed paper can hold the iron. It must come from men. The words of Ten Bears carries the same iron of life and death. It is good that warriors such as we meet in the struggle of life... or death. It shall be life."

                The tooling was done at DSTs factory and was likely destroyed years ago. And I refuse to allow those old DST sculpts to be rereleased. If it comes to that, I’ll do new, better ones for free.

                  I would like to see figures using the Hulk buck, as well.

                  As someone who grew up with Mego, my wish list of 8 figures, from most wanted down, would be:

                  Spider-Woman
                  Captain Britain (red suit)
                  Jack O' Lantern
                  Baron Zemo
                  Iceman
                  Kang
                  Mysterio
                  Hobgoblin

                  Honorable mentions:
                  Super Skrull (Hulk buck)
                  Firestar
                  Rhino
                  Kraven

                  Who do I think they'll make, especially if they're selling them in Disney stores and parks?
                  Deadpool
                  Wolverine
                  Miles Morales
                  Spider Gwen
                  Venom
                  Black Panther
                  Dr. Doom
                  Scarlet Witch

                  I love Namor, but his best look is the green trunks, and the Mego body is not impressive enough (see Conan and Tarzan) to pull off a non-costumed figure.

                  Years ago, someone posted a great custom of Cpt. Britain in the forums here. There are also some good customs of Iceman out there.

                  Hasbro has come out with Marvel Legends Jack O' Lantern, but they are just generic pumpkin heads. The genius of Ditko was in giving him those bold, wonky eyes.

                    I really liked a few of them, more than some of the newer Mego Corp. figures.

                      They’re still out there if you want them. Most of them make me cringe.

                        I used a lot of those for my Mighty Comics and Gold Key figures. I really appreciated them for their look.

                          Thanks. For me, it’s like looking in the yearbook at my high school haircut. The factory process caused many of them to contract in the middle so I’m pretty confident all of them could be improved on.

                            I've been fooling around with those old DST figures lately and I like most of the head sculpts, but I get it. When I listen to some of my old mix tapes, I can hear Every. Little. Mistake. It drives me nuts.

                            It would be fun to see new, better (in your opinion) sculpts though. The modern Captain America bothers me, but I always felt it was the paint apps, especially on the eyes, and not the sculpt. I love that Daredevil!

                              Looking forward to seeing how the Hulk and Thing bodies are done.
                              It's all good!

                                Mego really took the wind from the sails of the Atlas figures by announcing Marvel on the same day. They should have waited until after the Walmart collector con.
