1/6 Hot toys Marvel Video Game series Spider-man

[KitbashOfficer]

I kind of liked the Velocity Suit but will try to hold out for the no guarantees 2099 suit.

The 2099 and Classic are what I'm waiting for. Maybe Noir too.

Man, I'm SO disappointed they announced three new figures from the game but none of them are the classic/comic suit. I really don't understand it- OF COURSE that version would sell more than any of these newly-announced ones (I mean, the Negative Suit and the Velocity Suit, really??), so why aren't they making it?

It is called good business. Sure classics will sell well...it will always sell well. But spider-man is real hot right now, and you strike with all the unique suits now. Then, when things slow down a bit, you release the tried and true sellers to keep money rolling in.

Think of it like oil drilling. A lot of companies don't drill much anymore on territory on land they control. That is the retirement fund, and keeps supply somewhat limited (difficult to do with OPEC globally.) What you push for is deep-sea and reservation land drilling. Create some scarcity and urgency for harder areas to drill, but still very profitable. Eventually when the environment dies, or market changes, then at least you have a nest-egg of much cheaper to extract oil in your backyard at a fraction of the cost.

Of all these Spider babies, the ons that still need to release are electro Spidey, ghost rider Spidey, Big Time Spidey, 2099 and Doc Ock Spidey. I would have never expected they will manufacture the Velocity and the Negative one...

So Raimi might take while. There won't be a Spidey movie in the next few years, probably between the next Spidey movie release and now.

Hot Toys have already made a Raimi suit. Both, in fact. I sincerely doubt we'll ever see a re-do since the original was pretty much there already.

Plus if they do that they'd have to go back to TASM as well. I think their gameplan with Spidey will be to milk the MCU and Insomniac game for all they're worth. Plus potentially his inevitable Square Enix incarnation (which will happen because let's face it, it allows them to make a new Iron Man again).

Spider Punk is waitlisted

It's business. If Hot Toys release the classic suit first, people won't even care about the other suits, won't buy them. Do you think most people would buy Spider-Punk, Negative Suit, or Velocity Suit after they got the definitive Spidey, The Classic Comic Suit? So HT have to milk it first. Still, I think Iron Spider and 2099 would sell well.

 

[cbulas1]

Yeah yeah yeah, you are all right about this "do all of the other suits first" idea, but that doesn't mean I can't feel disappointed about the lack of a Classic Suit at this year's SDCC, right?

Nah.People buy a suit because they like it, not because the classic suit isn't available.
I see a lot of confused and frustrated comments on these forums whenever a new spidey that isn't the classic suit is announced. Some people can't seem to figure out the classic suit isn't everyone's favorite. It's absolutely iconic, yes. Will I buy it when it comes out? Sure. But I didn't buy spider-punk and scarlet spider because it's not available. Of course Hot Toys is holding it back. They can bring it out whenever and it'll sell extremely well, but if you look at it as purely a figure, it's very plain compared to the announced suits. Also, color-wise and style-wise, very similar to the movie suits, so I can understand Hot Toys focusing on visually more outlandish designs at the moment.

It's a shame, but they'll drag this one out. For years probably.

Looking at the execution on Advanced and Punk -- a classic Spidey will be unbelievable. The only strike against it will be somewhat limited articulation.

I could totally go for the Anti-Ock suit. That looks bad @***. Wish they'd done that one instead of Velocity.

Where do you get these lil guys? lol

Yeah that’s a bad@$$ looking suit for sure but if you followed the game’s development, I think you’d understand why the Velocity suit is coming so early. Basically, like the Advanced Suit, the Velocity suit was designed specifically for the game by “esteemed artist” Adi Granov. Adi was responsible for illustrating one of my favorite IM runs-Extremis and also worked on the art for 2008’s Iron Man which kicked off the MCU and Avengers 1 which put the MCU into high gear. Yeah so this release so early actually makes sense.

 

[The_Ganner]

Yeah, the velocit suit even has it's own dedicated 5-issue miniseries coming.

Well put. I’d order Scarlet Spider and 2099 over the classic suit any day of the week.

THIS is what I'm waiting for, very sleek and sophisticated looking, very cool moment in the game too. My favorite of the suits unique to this game.
