And those yellow eyes...

Aunt May in 2002 Spider-Man. "Those eyes! Those horrible, yellow eyes!"

Ok. Ordered again.
Aaaaand cancelled for second time. Thats so much fun cancelling this figure!

But seriously, maybe its just me, but I dont like this costume at all. Its awful. Exclusive or not, I dont care. IMO

P.S. And those yellow eyes...

Oh well, each to their own.

I don't think this figure is going to sell out anytime soon.

I don't think this figure is going to sell out anytime soon.

I'll give it 4 months after release.

 

[DGTWoodward]

I'll give it 4 months after release.

I'd love to think that it would sell out in 4 months! But even being the most optimistic Spidey fan, I'd still say it would be like some of the Avengers figures...a nice slow burn, even sales for close to a year and, then after a year the remaining available pieces will begin to dwindle and vanish. During which time, the tease and PO for ASM-II figure will go live. After a total of about 18 months, the ASM-I figure will be a sell out everywhere.

Which then leaves a nice 6 month window of building enthusiasm for the ASM-II movie and subsequent release of ASM-II figure(s).

I'll give it 4 months after release.

I wouldn't bet on it.

I wouldn't bet on it.

Horrible outfit from a poor film and HT cant even make this look desirable, this will be around for awhile.

Maybe, maybe not. It's not like they always make the same # of each figure. They certainly seem to like leaving a lot of money on the table with some figures that sell out quickly (why not make more?). It would be different if each piece were marked (ie. #1 of 2500).

They know how many are up for PO, if they want it to sell out, they just don't make as many.

 

[Uncanny Web-Slinger]

They'll sell out sooner or later. Some of their best figures hung around for a long time before selling out.

You used to have to pre-order as you coudldn't get them at retail, then they hung around forever and currently some sell out and most hang around time enough the get them.

 

[Y4NK33 PL4N3T]

Considering its arguably the most popular comic character ever, despite the horrid films I'd be in shock of HT ran a low ES on any Spidey release. Guess we'll see

 

[Uncanny Web-Slinger]

Considering its arguably the most popular comic character ever

Only arguably if you include DC. He's without question Marvels most popular

Just got done watching ASM with my daughter, and as much as I would love to have this figure, I'm just afraid the piece wouldn't be able to achieve the really dynamic posing that we all attribute to Spidey. As much as it pains me, I really think Spidey is one of those characters that will have his best moments in statues.

 

[Uncanny Web-Slinger]

I've got some great poses out of my OT figure

 

[cofphoto]

I only have black spidey, but he's possibly the most posable HT figure I have.

I don't understand that argument. As these are hard plastic figures and not soft human bodies, and regardless of which Spidey figure you have, none of the are going to be that dynamic...you could use that argument to not buy any figure at all.

And more than that, if you opt for the statue, that's just fine...if that is your choice then great. Good for you guy. Let's see the in-hand picture as I am sure they will be genuinely great .

But not even an actual person can achieve the kinds of poses that make Spiderman look unique in comics, so good luck in getting it from any figure.

I think when this is released, this will be my genuine reaction

Spongee Bubble! (if you heard the clip that goes with those Japanese kids lol)

I posted something on OMG's FB page last night and his reply was "Spider Man might come out next month".

So there you have it.

 

[airborn007]

If they delay this again I'm so done w/ this figure. More Iron Man again
