Got Marrow! in today's haul (amongst some joes), Now I just need Cortez to finish this wave/BAF off, but he's nowhere to be found 😞

I feel the same as you, this wave really doesn't do anything for me, and I think it was a wasted opportunity, and they could have actually done a gamerverse wave with a variety of characters...but ah well. It saves ya money. But I have a feeling this wave is actually going to sell very well, so far I have heard a lot of chatter on the internet about how excited and happy people are for this wave , I think it's just going to be one of those things that surprises you, people want 4000 Spider-Mans, Hasbro knows it, you can't beat the unending insatiable desire for Spider-Man figures that the fans have... Personally but hey this isn't for me, or for you, and let the people who want it, be happy.

Oh my so many figures, but some that immediately come to mind, Web-Man, Hammerhead, Chameleon, Chasm, Kingpin, Infamous Iron Man, Stealth Invincible Iron Man, Big Time Spidey. Most of those figures were something I planned on passing on, because of either reason 1 : just a variant outfit, 2 : who the heck cares about that, and 3 : no suited men reason 1 figures were Stealth IM and Spidey. reason 2 figures were web-man, chasm reason 3 figures hammerhead, kingpin, chameleon I bought Stealth IM and Spidey because boy did I enjoy seeing them in hand, they looked great, and likely a problem I fight helped being impulse buying, Infamous IM was 100% an Impulse buy...I enjoyed in the end, now I forget I own all of these figures until right now. web-man and chasm were like...who cares man, why a web-man? , why a chasm?, but then I actually saw them and said...oh no I want these, plus web-man fits into my criteria of a character, he's technically his own entity. Kingpin was one of my stupid moves...I was in a place of saving money and being stricter and said I just don't want men in suits, so it was a no go, But it's kingpin and follows my rules..,must have 1 of every character, Chameleon fell into that catagory and Hammerhead... there are probably tons more, but those come to mind, but wowzers the amount of figures I buy just because they have a BAF part is stupid.

I finally got around to opening the Cyclops, Soo the old effect doesn't really plug into the new Head, it does but it's very loose because the porting piece is much smaller, the New effect works very well with the older figure though, so there you have it, New effect in 97 head a thumbs up, old effect in new head not as much.

I mean it's not a wave for me personally, only because I don't collect Videogame figures , but it does really honestly feel very uninspired having 2 Peters and 3 Miles, The Spider-Man video games actually have some very neat looks for characters, why this wave couldn't have been more diverse seems silly, it really feels like a "Spider-Man sells out everytime..Arggg give them Spider-Mannnn money money, they always want spiderrrrrmANN" in reality it could have been a very interesting wave, characters like Mysterio, Vulture, Scorpion, Shocker, Lizard, Rhino. And what's sad is likely they will never release any of those guys. also this wave would have really benefited from either Kingpin or Venom being a BAF it would have forced people to buy the entire wave, it's really silly they omitted a BAF when they easily could have. Now there is no question some of these figures will be hot, but certainly there are going to be pegwarmers..they could have avoided this. gives me a icky feeling BAF's are quickly becoming a thing of the past and getting phased out. Spidey hasn't had a BAF wave since Armadillo in 2021, Sheeesh unfortunately this wave looks exhausting, and seems on paper like one of the most tragic waves of Legends ever, sinking so low into the "who cares, it sells, make the whole wave 1 character in different paint jobs" now that just feels like a real bummer. What a way to fatigue people even more on legends and spider-mans, My God...I get it, they are loved games, but are they this loved? we couldn't even get a Gamerverse Thor, or BW, back when, but they can churn out Spideys until the end of time....just no, no, thanks but I'm still waiting for so many character to get a figure... But all in all, I hope people are happy with this wave!

Yeah for reals, Walmart is even more frustrating here in Canada, but..That Spirit Spider......

When I get a chance I'll do a test for you.

Ah nice a whole bunch of stuff I got no interest in, don't do Gamerverse so it's easy to pass on like 99% of this stuff, the only real desire here is that Spirit Spider, that's so amazing! of course it's a dumb exclusive to walmart, either way that is a must have beaut for me, Venom is a maybe maybe, I am a dedicated Symbiote collector so it's going to be hard to say no, but I might just, because it's so much of the same, How many actual Venoms do I need at this point? Black Cat was a possibility but now seeing the actual figure I feel pretty certain I'm out, I just am not that interested in the end product. X-Force pack is a real hmmm, I do love what I'm seeing here, but it's more of the same stuff, sure X-23 is a great update, and if it was a single release I'd probably buy it, but do I realllly need to update that? sorta kinda? since I love it, and I do really like Warpath in that suit...I will probably get it who am I kidding. but the only must have for me here is Spirit/Ghost Spider-Man, it's fantastic, and it was in the comics.

Oh now another one so soon, I would imagine it's going to be light on reveals since Toyfair is coming up, and I'm sure they don't wanna blow revealing all of the exciting new items before that, but I'd say it would seem more likely this will be MCU centric, as it should be since they have not showcased a ton in the way of Movie/Show figures as of late, and with boat load of new Movies/Shows this year they surely shoul, some Cap4 and T-Bolts stuff? Dare Devil? F4? 🤷‍♀️

I can do that yes, with this new effect, but I actually don't think I own any Cyclops with the old effect (not sure Ha!), I only have a very few Cyclops figures. (I only have Love Triangle, 97 & AOA..don't think any of those came with the old effect, I can't recall) although I'd be surprised if a reviewer didn't do this yet?

As I suspected, no amount of this isn't worth the price, or Let's say no with our wallet, was going to stop this figure from Pre-selling out at a vast majority of places, within an hour (In Canada), I'm seeing this figure getting a sweeping thumbs up (based on pre-sellouts). It's already on the "OMG where did this go list?, I missed out!".....as I predicted. Ain't no stopping a Spider-Man!

Getting more of the Nemesis Wave, Cyclops and Husk only 2 more to go...

I think this debate has gotten to the point where everyone is saying one of the same things, Yes I'd pay the price, or No I wouldn't with most saying No in the end (but that's only a small margin of people-confined to this website, which is like 20 people mind you 😉) I personally thought when I first saw this offering I might pay about 50 CDN for it, but it's about closer to 80 CDN, that instantly would be a no for me, a Hulk at 80 CDN sure, this is overpriced Indeed, I had to really take time and marinate on if I thought this was worth it's price, but it feels more and more like I just don't think it is, we have seen Regular priced figures with just a few accessories short of this offering for a standard price, sure new tooling...but tons of figures at standard price get new tooling, this is a gimmick, Now sure some really want the added tid-bits, I personally don't have a much interest in vast accessories, they don't fit into my collecting criteria, but some who pose in displays, or do photo shoots they might really be happy here. The other problem is this isn't a massive price uptick for Canadians, standard figures are about roughly 40 bucks, a deluxe..looms into the 75 realm. I am not shocked. anyways hate to say this, but even if you don't like this offering or find it's price point unreasonable, I promise this figure is going to be in high demand, there is always a brand new collector everyday who needs a classic Spidey, always a collector who missed the last one, always a completionist, always a kid who begs their mother, It's Spider-Man...it's gonna make you scream when it sold-out and commands 200 on Ebay next year. this is a definitive piece for likely 75 % of collectors, new or old..

Not always his 90's look, but actually a look he did wear in the 80's in War Journal, but it wasn't his mainstay outfit from what I remember, he did spend some amount of time in it, but it was late 80's from my recollection, early 90s.

Yeah probably not wrong, but I always just presume it's Hasbro trying to hit those Q1 revenue targets to appease the shareholders, they love shoving everything into the front end of a year, so the big wigs can ooh and aah at all the mucho dinero they made. "what a great start it's gonna be a good one" but probably also with the added fear of the dreaded tariffs....well we might just get every legend by Feb 28th here in Canada.

Still always gonna say Lasher, that figure bugs me to no end, horrible choice for a buck, he's not a pizza spidey body symbiote, Needs a much bigger buck, the inaccuracy of that figure upsets me more then any other, like did they look at any source material before saying..yup produce this figure? second is I would just love Another Gwenpool, they did this figure wonderfully except for giving her awful head options, need a update with a neutral masked head and an unmasked head. Spider-Man 2099, another why the heck is he on such a scrawny buck? like they did it recently on retro card and it was the same poor body choice, no-update, Miguel is not pizza spidey small. lasty a comic Ambomination that actually scales well with the recent Hulk buck.

More Stuff dropping, surprised this X-Men wave is coming out as soon as it is (release date officially is May?) got AOA Gambit, X-Force Nightcrawler (only ones I could get my hands on so far from the wave)...also Dark Avengers Ms. Marvel.

Got Spider-Boy, Electro and Agent Venom today from Gamestop

I loved this, everything was super great to me here, except for Ben's voice being totally wrong IMO, but loved the retro vibe, loved the casting...I mean Pedro could lose the facial hair but Whatever, and Oh my Galactus! I'm very excited for this film.

Oh totally slipped my mind this movie was actually coming out this year...Super excited to see the trailer!

Ohhh I almost lost track of this Wave, I am definitely needing ROM, Miles, Daken and Adam. I think I'm passing on Banshee, I'm happy with the recent release, since that's the look he was rocking mostly in Gen X, and Iron Man is a super pass. I still think this wave should have actually included Mini comics like actual readable comics included like MOTU Origins includes or McFarlane Page Punchers, like actual books, but regardless to get a bunch of wanted figs like ROM and Daken, and a really nice new Adam Warlock and Miles, Whatever in the end.

Upon closer inspection of this Mask, I actually want to think that the Gray coloring on this here is a trick of poor lighting and results of texture showing this as more of Gray when I would say it's likely actually more black in reality, I just have a hunch that's what's going on here.

Canada finally got the Punisher x Bushwacker 2 pack, took a darn long while. got this from Gamestop

How many re-paints of this have there been so far? Regular, Black, Pink, Colossus, and now this? woza, just hit pause.

Honestly Yes, if I wanted it, but also this will likely be around 70-75 here in Canada, I stopped caring how much most items cost if I really want them, Also something like this seems like it will sell out very quickly, as classic Spideys always do, so I would say strike while the iron is hot on a figure like this. I don't want this, but It seems worth the deluxe price, it's new tooling, tons of details and accessories, but also like I say in Canada this is going to be like 75- maybe even 80 (Phoenix was 80!)
