    Maybe they are holding off an Avengers wave closer to next year's Avengers:Doomsday movie? The FF wave corresponded with their movie. Maybe in two waves? Cap Iron Man Falcon Dr. Doom first wave?. Second wave Hulk Thor maybe Kang and Scarlet Witch?

      I`m also of the same mind that only one more set before X-Mas. Hoping its a good one, really think the Avenger will only be next year for the movie.

      The FF sets are not even out in the EU yet.

        Hmm… It’s anyone’s guess.

        It would make sense to release a Mego Doctor Doom figure closer to the Doomsday movie next year. Although I don’t really buy into the thought that a movie compels people to buy somewhat high priced merchandise or graphic novels. For example, I honestly don’t expect many people to run out to buy a $150.00 Omnibus because they liked a superhero film. I get the hype and all, but I doubt stuff like these Mego figure sets to see a spike in sales due to a movie.

        I don’t see Falcon in an assortment without Captain America. So maybe it’ll be Cap, Falcon, Iron Man, and Doom together. And then Thor, Hulk, Loki, and maybe another new villain. I’d like Abomination, but I’ve seen a couple people suggest Rhino.

        But we’ve still got big names like Wolverine, Black Panther, Punisher, and Deadpool* waiting in the wings.


        *Although I’d like to only see characters crested before the 80’s in Mego style.

          Well, Doom would also make sense in the set as you suggest if Iron Man's molds are going to be used for Doom.

          Releasing Hulk with Thor seems cost-effective, as Hulk is simple and Thor deluxe.

          They definitely need to make more use of the great bandless muscle body; I'd prefer Rhino but Abomination would be fine.

            So apparently the Disney Store got in more of the first set and sold them out in the same day. Missed out again. And I go to the site quite often and search for Megos and other things, but still didn't see these.

              Solid take all around.

              I’ve seen several people suggest Thanos. He could be a good use for the muscle body.

              Imagine Ulik the Troll!

                I'm dead set against Thanos (boots? alternate feet?) unless they do old-school Adam Warlock. And that's extremely unlikely IMO.

                Kang, Ultron, or Loki would be better choices for a classic Avengers foe.

                    Loki is a must!

                    I know it won’t happen, but I’d love a Bring on the Bad Guys wave. Any four of the following in a set:

                    Doom, Loki, Abomination, and either Red Skull or Dormammu. But we’d need Doc Strange for Dormammu.

                    Mephisto won’t ever happen.

                      Nor Mandarin.

                      I'm hoping (almost desperately) that Disney does Red Skull.

                        Yes, there are some great "giant" character options--but would Disney ever order them?

                        Personally, I'd love to get a Galactus--but would prefer Ant-Man over Giant-Man.

                          You called it. Doing them all together hit my wave ideas pretty hard, though lol.

                            With Avengers Doomsday being over a year away, I could see Mego releasing some Avengers earlier and holding on to a few others for later to coincide with the release of the movie.

                            Captain America
                            Falcon
                            Black Panther
                            Red Skull

                            None of these characters has been confirmed to be in the movie. Classic Falcon is now Captain America. Captain America is retired. The original Black Panther is dead. And Red Skull is banished to Vormir. They would make a fantastic set of popular characters who have had their stories told in the mcu.

                            Closer to the movie these characters would make more sense.

                            Thor
                            Hulk
                            Iron Man
                            Doctor Doom

                            But Mego and Disney may want to split up that last set to keep some of the more well known Avengers for the last set of the 20 figures promised.

                            Perhaps...

                            Thor
                            Hawkeye
                            Black Widow
                            Loki

                            Iron Man
                            Hulk
                            Doctor Doom
                            Abomination

                            I'm hoping Disney and Mego will keep these sets focused on characters that would have been made back when Mego was making the World's Greatest Superheroes in the late 70's and early 80's. I really don't want to see characters like Thanos, Deadpool or the X-Men unless they decide to continue the line past the promised initial 20 figures.

                              Most of my favourite Marvel heroes & villains are what you'd call minor characters: Black Knight, Nightcrawler, Mystique, Jocasta...but I'd love an Ultron figure.

                                My top Marvel characters and what I would love from Mego are a mix of A, B, and C listers. And maybe D.

                                My favorite is ROM, Spaceknight. Followed by The Thing, Spidey, and Walt Simonson’s Thor and Beta Ray Bill. And Doctor Doom. But I wouldn’t care that much if ROM or BRB were Mego-ized.

                                As far as characters given the Mego treatment, my top choices are sensational Seventies creations like Iron Fist, classic Captain Britain w/his Star Scepter, Nova (Rich Ryder), Namor in his black winged costume, along with some Sixties creations such as Hercules and Black Knight. Stingray might be cool, too.

                                Oh, I’d love a Marvel Human Fly (“real life” superhero Human Fly) too.
