Ever heard a wallet cry?Hasbro and the Marvel Legends team pulled a straight Thanos on all of us and is going to absolutely destroy our wallets this year. As most of you know judging by this website; I kinda love Spider-Man. So I am most excited for the upcoming Spider-Man figures. BUT, I also collect the following!
With that said, Instead of just talking about the Spider-Man figures from this release, I will talk about all the ones I am excited for. Join me! SPIDER-MAN / VENOM WAVESTook all these pictures from the Fwoosh. (love you Robo) DAN LARSON IS HAPPY AND SO ARE WEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!! I am beyond happy we're getting a Spider-Ham FINALLY. And I see a Pork Grind head next to him. Wonder what is to come of that. I hate that we're not seeing leg articulation. BUT, this is early; there could be some leg articulation added before it's given to the public. At least I'd like to think so. Kaine's Scarlet Spider is a fantastic suit, I really love the design of it. And I am VERY happy we're getting it updated, it is LONG overdue, the old body was just painful. Now we just need Big time (all three please) and Future Foundations and that old mold will officially be a thing of the past! If you would have told me back in 2015 Hasbro would be giving us a SP//DR BAF I'd say: WHO THE HELL IS SP//DR?In all seriousness, this looks AMAZING. It's such a different take on Spider-Man so that alone is worth it. On top of that, it's a GIANT ROBOT. YOU KNOW WHO ELSE IS A GIANT ROBOT THAT IS SPIDER-MAN RELATED? LEOPARDON, THAT'S RIGHT; WE'RE ONE STEP CLOSER. I FEEL IT. I am really excited for this. On the left is the first attempt by Toy Biz at the 'House of M' Spider-Man. And on the is the BEAUTIFUL update. See the thing I love that Hasbro is doing, is not only giving us new figures; but updating old ones that deserve their treatment. Maybe I am a sucker to their ways and system, but I won't complain if I am getting new figures from the mix. Just wish they'd learn and make either duel colored join connectors, OR PAINT THEM. Moving down the chain we are FINALLYYYYYYYYYYYY getting a proper Doc Ock, a figure we've been wanting, asking, hell begging to get for quite some time. I think I personally would have just enjoyed fixed glasses, but I can't get upset at Hasbro for appealing to every collector. I can hear Shartimus already talking about that lack of ab crunch. You see there is a do, and a don't. We all can agree that Mcfarlane and his art style changed comics in a great way, sadly we don't see much done the way he did it. But that doesn't AT ALL translate well to action figure form. Those ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀ eyebrows man. They are HORRIBLE. I get what they were going for, I want to make that 100% clear; I see in theory what they are trying to do. But I think the entire head just looks over sized and silly. Meanwhile Carnage and his head sculpt look SPOT ON. I really love the way it looks, they perfectly captured the crazy that is Kasady. Alright, so the picture I found of Poison wasn't EXACTLY what we're getting. But I think this is REALLY cool. I like the concept and execution. I know literally nothing of the character, but I am looking forward to this figure and getting to know the character. We're getting a Scream! Love the way this looks, I like it a lot more than the way Lasher looks. Of course Hasbro has yet to give us DJE for the female mold. But lets count our blessings. I'm excited to get the other three one day down the road! I am actually shocked this guy is getting a figure, and beyond that; I am happy he is 3.75 inch. You may be asking why?
These last four are a mixed bag for me. Cloak, Dagger, Dare Devil and Elektra. I am super happy we're finally getting an classic Elektra. Cloak & Dagger are both in their classic costumes as well. I just don't know much about them, I think the Dare Devil looks cool I just don't know much about the costume. X-MEN & DEADPOOL WAVESThis is just beautiful. I mean come on, this looks amazing right? I can't just be a sucker for Yellow spandex action figures. He looks perfect, but you know what looks just as good? A bright and shiny Wolverine to go with him! These two will proudly be put in my classic costume display!! We're being literally spoiled with CLASSIC COSTUMESSS!!!! I had a 5POA 12 inch Bishop when I was way little and I loved it for some reason. So that alone would make me wanna get this figure. But that COSTUME BABY, it's a must have. Hasbro saw Figma's Deadpool and went: "Yeah we can do that, but better." And I don't think they disappointed. We literally have a Deadpool figure for every type of Deadpool fan, X-Men, X-Force, 90s Serious, modern not serious. Andddddddd Lady Deadpool! This is just another one (two counting Head-Pool) to add to the collection! So, just to put it simply...Check back tomorrow for day two of Toy Fair!!
