Re: Marvel Legends discussion

I have zero interest in Morbius, though, so paying for an extra figure I don't want isn't great…

What's improved on the six-arm spidey, vs the 2019 release? Or did you mean the new one is the same as the 2019, which is an improvement to the 2014?

Retro Spider-man Wave just partially shipped from Gamestop.ca

Tarantula and Dare Devil Elektra are the ones that didn't ship.

The upcoming six-armed Spidey has torso articulation, whereas the old 2019 one did not (see pics for comparison).

Re: Marvel Legends discussion

Any news of that Black Widow dropping here yet? Also what's with all these over priced 2-packs lately? Is this the direction Hasbro is going in now? One newish figure people want packaged with a throw away? Like I could be wrong but do people really care about this Re-use kit bash Spidey or want that Morbius badly enough to buy this full price? Another thing, since when has alternate hands been considered an accessory? Lmao.

Re: Marvel Legends discussion

I was excited about this new six-armed Spidey at first, thinking that it was using the current buck that the cel-shaded Spidey also utilized, but nope, it's just the 2019 one again with an abdominal upgrade.

I have the 2019 one and this upgrade doesn't really fix my complaints about it:
1) the body is thinner than the normal recent Spidey figures, too scrawny like the old Pizza Spidey mold.

2) it's got that stupid modern texturing to the costume sculpted into the arms and legs which I loathe, when it should be smooth plastic.

3) still no painted weblines on his costume.

This isn't the figure you're looking for, folks. Wait for the inevitable total retool in a few more years (and even then I'll bet they still won't paint the weblines until the next version after that).

Oh wow my bad. I didn't even realized I didn't mention Black Widow in either of my posts. I could have sworn I did, but yea Zeroflamez got what I was trying to ask, thanks.
