Uncanny Web-Slinger
Super Freak
I was looking at the pictures of Hot Toys Spider-Man 3 Figure and thought about how most of the poses shown wouldn't be attainable without some kind of physical aid.
This lead me to think about which Marvel characters would be the most difficult to make 12 Inch Figures of.
My Picks are...
Mr. Fantastic
The costume and sculpt are simple but managing to recreate the stretcho power seems damn near impossible to make believable.
Human Torch
For the costume, head and hands I'd go with an orange and white color scheme and have the hands and head details similar o Ghost Rider's flame effect. For the body flames, a series of snap-on translucent flame effect pieces for each limb would be the best in order to maintain articulation, any other way seems difficult.
Hydro Man
Similar to Human torch his powers would require some translucent pieces and switch-out arms where he has transformed to shooting water. His legs could plug into an "eruption of water" base that forms around the lower half of his body.
Ice Man/Invisible Woman
Would both have to have a Translucent/Semi-Translucent Body, Bobby could perhaps have ice shooting arms.
Beast/Sasquatch/Wolfsbane
and other furry characters would present manufacturing and cost problems.
Ego The Living Planet
No explanation needed NUFF' SAID!
Medusa
The Hair, can't see how it could be logistically done.
Doc Ock
Wouldn't be that hard to make in a good way, the problems i would see the company having is maintaining a way for the figure to sand solo without a stand as the varying positions of the tentacles would change the weight balance of the figure.
ArchAngel/Angel
Could have similar problems in balance that Doc Ock could have.
Phalanx
A number of characters would require a completely new body design or such a large size that they would most likely not be made or would be priced too high.
UATU the Watcher (not hard to make i just love that chrome dome!)...
...Bobblehead as standard heh
