These are great for people who missed out on either especially moon Knight since he was a walgree  exclusive. Not to mention they are perfect as exclusive as there near straight rereleases. Blue spider aside. 

[Reno]

I'm certainly in on that Moon Knight since I missed the Walgreens offering! I've been making do with the "modern" version that was re-released in early 2023 and my old Toy Biz variant version. 

[Hogun]

I stopped collecting most Legends. But if this means I get a chance at getting a package refresh of the Walgreens exclusive Moon Knight. I'm totally in.

[Lord_Scareglow]

The re-release so soon of Amazing Fantasy Spidey is a bit of a head scratcher, basically a straight re-release except, he has a blue spider emblem on his back, this is accurate, as apposed to the original release, either way it is cool to see this figure carded and probably on card collectors will be happy to get it, but maybe didn't need a re-issue so soon, but ah well, spidey fans are insatiable

now that Moon Knight is a re-release, but that's warranted, that figure was pretty hard to come by, and for us Canadians it never got released here at all, so everyone in the north who missed out should likely now be able to get that beautiful figure, although it's going to likely be TRU exclusive and thats a bummer since they really lack on stocking product, but it's also really sweet to see this figure on a retro card back.

 

[Ironspider428]

I may grab Moon Knight because I don’t have the Walgreens but I prefer the modern armored design so not sure. AF is such a fast rerelease. I know it shot up in price though so good to see it available again.

[McHogan]

I have both if these from their original releases but wow do they look nice on the Retro Cards.

I get why these are straight-ish re-releases but with so much Avengers goodness these past months it would've been sweet to get MK is his WCA suit with the gold belt as well as the gold wrist and shin gauntlets. Ah well... maybe some day

 

[Ironspider428]

Also what is it about this particular Spidey that allows them to include so many accessories? Why did the $35 PS5 Spidey only get 4 hands when both releases of this Spidey get 8? And both times were under $30.

[leokearon]

Both look solid, bot sure if I'll be getting either though. Nice seeing more retro figures

[Thwippersnapper]

Dang, I really hoped the next MK would be based off the Vulcan buck. … shucks.

Interested in Spidey though (bc of the card). I see why they make his belt all big and fat like that on this mold but it still just looks weird to me.

[Air-Walker]

Fantastic!!! Really hope these make it north! 

[kolobosrexx]

I already have both of the prior releases,  but may get just for the card! They really ought to do a comic version Mr. Knight though!

When I first heard Moon Knight I thought it was going to be this version.

[GarimusPrime]

I was never able to snag a Walgreens Moon Knight, so I'm in for this one. Seems REALLY soon for an Amazing Fantasy Spidey re-release, though.

[AndyL]

Oh maaaan, another MK on the Sunfire model? Total buzzkiller. I like this version of the character but I am so over them using this body model so improperly. What's wrong with the Vulcan body? I have the first one and the Walgreens one which I bought begrudgingly because of the Sunfire body so I'm going to take a pass on this one. One last person to compete with for pre-order. As far as Spidey. I likey. It looks like it's on the updated teen model so he's going to have that teen look. I might have to partake in that one.

[SpiderS]

If pin less RYV Spidey body is good for Daredevil and Deadpool it’s good enough for Moon Knight, sad to see they didn’t try this but I guess whenever Moon Knight season 2 will drop we will get another classic figure on newer body and I hope it won’t be this stark white but rather more grey and dingy color with wash and darker plastic.

Right? Vulcan is about the same ht as Moon Knight, so its a no-brainer to update him and put him on the Vulcan buck.  I'd imagine that's around the corner, but this way hasbo can get buyers to plunk down for this one, then the correct one. 

It occurs to me they could also do the one with the ankh and gold belt/accents.

And I can't recall if his first appearance suit was ever done. That would be interesting.

[Jormungand]

Hard pass for me. Until they put tall, muscular characters like MK on the Vulcan buck, I'm bowing out. The new Vision on the Vulcan buck gives me hope. But no more Silver Surfers, Cyclops, Moon Knights, Firelords, Black Bolts, Adam Warlocks, etc until they get the scale and musculature right on these characters.

[A_Spidey_Fan]

Quick Question: Did Spidey's costume in his 1st appearance in Amazing Fantasy#15 had the Blue Spider logo at his back?  Only asking because other 1st Appearance Spidey figures usually have a Red Spider, so I always assumed it was Red.  Unless in the comics, there were 1 or 2 Panels in that instead of Red, the colourist made it Blue.  But just curious really.

No, it was blue throughout that first appearance. You have to remember though that they were just getting their feet wet and likely didn't much thought into it. After all, Stan Lee forgot his name (Palmer instead of Parker) in the very first Spider-Man issue!

Same here. Mainly because we all know they're going to re-do these down the line on the correct bucks. Especially Moon Knight, whose gonna have a 2nd D+ series coming next year.

Yeah. That Firelord really hit hard. Such a great figure and then they sabotaged him like that.

The worst thing about Firelord, and Silver Surfer at that is that there was a perfectly good body mold for them and they didn't have to do that middle of the road compromise that they mainly use the Sunfire mold for. The Reaper body was just fine for both those characters as they are both around Captain America's size. I know it doesn't have butterflies but it's more agile than one thinks. I've seen some customs on FB and that body can easily be put into any pose either one of those character needed. Though I do think they had to cut out the back of the head sculpt to make SS look up more. It will be great though when they finally do make a Reaper model with butterflies so they can stop doing all these bigger guys wrong with the Sunfire mold. Maybe when they do Hasbro will redo them. They're getting better at admitting when they do wrong. But somehow it doesn't stop them from doing things wrong. Like this Moon Knight. Just wrong, wrong, wrong.

[NotNamed]

So this is the same as AF15 Spidey but with the blue symbol on the back and Moon Knight is a straight-up re-release? I've reached the point this year that others were at a year or two ago where I'm out on these iterative upgrades. Maybe after 2 or 3 more iterations, I'll upgrade.

[Ando_Calrissian]

I appreciate the rerelease, but I’m with everyone else. MK needs the Vulcan body mold. I think it’s sad to say, but the best MK is the D+ version, imo.

I also appreciate the teen spider rerelease, but would have like the suit from the amazing friends 3 pack.

Thanks for answering my question.  Again, it's only because most 1st Appearance Spidey figures usually have a Red Spider, so to find out that it was Blue all along, is kind of a neat tibit for me. 

 

I currently don't have a 1st Appearance Spidey in my collection(Regardless if it's 4" or 6"), only because I've never felt the need for it, though I will admit, that 4" Marvel Legends 5POA Retro 1, I may consider, only because I think it's kind of unique how they did the web wings on that figure.  Having said that, I will admit, this 6" with the Blue Spider at the back, sort of interests me, and would help stand out a bit more than my other 6" Spidey's, so I could consider it.  We'll see.

 

I like how this classic style Moon Knight has 2 swapping heads, so that you can have either the White Mask, or the Black Mask.  I personally don't view Moon Knight as someone that I would get multiple versions of, at least in 6" scale, as I've really like the kind of modern armoured look, and even that Disney+ Series Mummy look.  His business suit look isn't too bad, but I don't feel the need to get it, unless I want a pure white business suit for swapping head reasons.  And for the record, I don't have any Moon Knight figures at this time.  But the fact that it has 2 swapping different colour masks, I will admit, has me interested as well, enough to consider it as a maybe. 

 

All I know if this was maybe 2 or 3 years ago, before the price increases, these would of been "Strongly Consider" instead of "Maybe Consider".

Can't blame you on that.  There are times where I get a figure, only for them to do a minor upgrade a year or 2 later, and I will usually not double dip(Example: I got the 1st Ben Reliey 1990's Scarlett Spider in the regular Marvel Legends line, and then a few years later, they re-released it with a bit of a better deco, but also the unmasked Ben head, and I had to declare that I wouldn't double dip just for the Ben swapping head).  Will admit for me, it may depend on the characters if I may double dip on the same costume but I can make exceptions, including if 1 has painted details and the other has sculpted(Think Captain America, and 1 having sculpted chainmail, and the other is painted), if it's been a good few years since I got a figure in a specific costume(Even more so if it's a better head sculpt, more accessories, and/or added a decent amount of joints), if feel there is a actual need or if I'm just happy with the older figure, if the new release is in a multipack that has a figure I really want, etc.

1 trap that I've so far haven't fallen for, is buying new Single release figure in the same costume of 1 I already have just because the new figure has Pin-Less Joints.   They may get me with a Multipack if the Multipack has a figure or 2 I really want(That has already sort of happened with the Renew Your Vows 2 Pack, as I only really wanted the MJ as Spinneret figure, as the Pin-less Spidey was just a added bonus for something I didn't really need, but was okay to get), but not a Single Pack, at least so far.
