Here's the full rumor so you can read for yourself, it's been posted on a couple sites lately but really, nothing is confirmed.
"RUMOR: Please take this with a huge grain of salt. One of my friends has a friend who knows someone from Hasbro working on the Marvel Legends team and has an inside source and told him some awesome things in the works. One of them being that there may not be any X-Men Legends wave for 2017 but instead will have a Wolverine Legends themed wave. The working title is Wolverine but that maybe subject to change to X-Men Legends which I think it will be. Anyways, the following maybe revealed at this years SDCC and the wave is supposed to consist of what he told me exactly like this.....(God, I hope I don't get in trouble for this but it's worth letting you know lol)
1. OLD MAN LOGAN
2. MAVERICK
3. SILVER FOX
4. MYSTIQUE ( 90's Jim Lee)
5. SABRETOOTH (90's Jim Lee)
6. WEAPON X (no name but I'm assuming it's Wolverine in his weapon X gear)
7. X-23 (Women of Weapon X)
8. LADY DEATHSTRIKE (Women of Weapon X)
9. SILVER SAMURAI (Baf)
[Remeber, anything can change from now until SDCC and this is not officially confirmed]
NOTE: BLADE will be in a 2017 Spider-Man wave and if it does not make it into the wave then it will be a Walgreens Exclusive. It will not be the same blade using the Winter Soldier buck from back in 2012. Expect sold new tooled parts or reuse from one of the latest molds."
That rumor sounds interesting Dwight from Hasbro did admit that Marvel only gives the green light to X-men waves whenever a movie is incoming. Now regarding the wave. I feel like most of the characters would look great under Hasbro especially X-23. My favorite pick would be Mystique, followed by Sabretooth and Maverick. I don't even remember what Silver Fox looks like though and would prefer a character from Alpha Flight instead.
I'd love to see an Old Man Logan figure, but hope they don't do him with the duster jacket. Would prefer the jeans and yellow shirt look that he has in Marvel Puzzle Quest:

Having said that, I'm highly skeptical that this is any more than some fan's wish list. Just doesn't seem like a legit line up for a wave of figures with obscure characters like Silver Fox and Maverick.
I'd agree except we're supposedly getting Shatterstar in the second wave of X-Men Legends figures along with Dazzler so it *could* be possible but what surprises me is the amount of female figures being released in this wave. Though the current wave coming out July/August features three female figures as well so maybe Hasbro is finally changing their method. I don't know, but it'll be interesting to see what really comes from this.
here's a picture of the upcoming Captain Britain Marvel legends, along with the Scarlett Witch.
From a fairly trusty source, there will be new X-Men Funk Pop bobble-heads featuring Psylocke, Sabretooth, Cable, and more (second picture in link). Pop designs usually use "iconic" character designs, so you can already guess what they will look like!
Im really looking forward to the entire X-Men wave. Especilly 90's Rogue. If the Wolverine evar is true i get them all. Maverick sounds the best followed by X23. I have 3 inch versions but Mav and laura in legends yes please
