Now that Disney is on the way to acquiring Fox--bringing the X-Men and FF back into the cinematic fold -- it probably won't be long before Marvel takes their foot off the "merchandising air hose" that has impacted/restricted FF and X-Men statues, figures and other merchandise. While SS has trickled out some of the more popular X-Men like Wolverine and Phoenix, as well as Doom a few years ago, the Disney/Fox feud kept them pretty boxed in. That's probably why we are seeing announcements of redos, like Captain America, Black Widow, Daredevil and Elektra, which have probably been in the pipeline for some time. Hopefully the cuffs will be coming off soon and SS can open up the character lis. Depending on when the deal closes, which could be as short as 6 months or as long as 18, movie announcements might start coming as soon as this year's SDCC.
Here's what I'd like to see (comic versions):
FANTASTIC FOUR
Reed Richards/Mr Fantastic -- Interchangeable stretched limbs
Sue Storm/Invisible Woman -- Interchangeable phasing arms, transparent force field spheres (clear variant)
Johnny Story/Human Torch -- Interchangeable flame arms with light-up, (translucent flame-on Torch variant with light-up feature)
Ben Grim/The Thing -- 7' scale, extra portrait
Dr. Doom on Throne V2 -- all new sculpt, unmasked portrait
Silver Surfer -- all new sculpt, chrome paint
Super Skrull -- light up feature
X-MEN
Professor X - Shi'ar floating chair (light-up screens, cerebro helmet, astral projection figure EX)
Cyclops -- modernized Jim Lee costume V2 (Light up feature. Unmasked EX)
Beast --Faux fur (portrait with glasses EX)
Iceman --Interchangeable ice constructs
Angel -- modernized Byrne-inspired Blue & White halo costume, Red & White variant (interchangeable feather angel wings, metal archangel wings, unmasked portrait).
Nightcrawler
Juggernaut -- (removable helmet)
Quicksilver
Havok
Polaris
Bishop
Cable
X-23
