Very true. I work out in Nigeria for at least 9 months out of the year and spider man seems to be even more popular than black panther or any other super hero out here. Kids seem to relate alot easier due to the spider man games and TV shows etc.
I think there are 3 things that make Spidey instantly relatable to a lot of kids and young people.
1. No face. It's easy to imagine one's self beneath the mask.
2. He's often portrayed as younger and the writing often reflects that as well.
3. He's (usually) not rich, just getting by instead of a billionaire or king of a small nation.
And the rest of it is just cool factor. Cool suit, cool powers, doin' cool stuff.
Shut your mouthI wouldn't release vulture either if i were in charge of HT. Too many potential QC issues which will be quite a headache.
Shut your mouth
Is there even any SpiderMen that HT hasn't already previewed?

A whole army of them!
P.S. WTF is going on with this forum?
Some sort of server migration. But it's been going on for ages. Worst I've ever seen, and annoying as hell. Still extremely slow so don't know what the advantages are.
HT must have decided that size, weight and price for something like this was just too unwieldy -- and put this into the "too complicated" category with an unproven success rate for villains. HT fear: too much work for too little sales.
Besides, Howard has the proto, so there's no one driving this through like Joost who just wants one for himself.
I think that's exactly what happens a lot of the time with Hot Toys. They probably have a minimum profit level and if that doesn't look like it can be achieved due to the mix of cost vs interest then they simply won't make it.
