I think they should do every figure's accessories like Deadpool's and instead of BAFs they should just release a deluxe figure every wave. Different company and style but back when that's how McFarlane released their big figures, just as the deluxe boxed figure of the wave as opposed to being forced to buy a bunch of toys you may not want just to have the one that you do. I never have been and never will be a fan of the BAF gimmick.

Edit: I don't like to ramble on but my other issue with BAFs is when I don't want the BAF but do want a figure or two in the wave so I end up with some other guy's head and arm that I can't do anything with.

As for Ms. Kamala Khan, I like her character, but I would have liked her better if she didn't take the name Ms. Marvel. She has nothing with do with Carol Danvers, her power is nothing like the original Ms. Marvel. She should have been called "Ms. Teen Fantastic" or something. |

I'd most likely still buy the entire case for Spider-man and X-Men whether they were BAFs or not since I can't leave those to chance in stores. Also, I did technically have the entire REd Skull wave preordered, I just happened to come across them all at TRU before BBTS shipped them. I'm sure that is a fluke that will never happen again.

Cute face sculpt, and cool figure. Displayed with crazy arms though, this figure looks bad. Guess you have to really like the character to appreciate them, or maybe it's because they lack articulation. That should have been a con with the figure.

Sell 'em on ebay. From this wave I bought Shocker and Ms. Marvel, and I sold the Sandman torso and left leg BAF pieces pretty quickly. It ended up more than paying for one of the two figures. I didn't charge over-the-top prices either, and it enabled people to get the Sandman pieces cheaper than if they had to buy the figures they came with.

Reminder: when Spidey had his Symbiote costume, he didn't shoot webs out of his normal web-shooters; they shot out of the back of his hand. So the lack of web-shooting hands shouldn't really be a negative, because the fists double as the web-shooting hands for this costume.

Actually she does, sort of, Carol Danvers was her favourite superhero, and saved her life and she looked up to her as an inspiration, that's why she took the name. It makes far less sense to name her after a character she has absolutely no connection to and I don;t think has ever even met just because their power shares some elements.

Oh, of course, having the hands would only add value. All I'm saying is it's not necessarily a con if he doesn't have explicit web-slinging hands, largely because most people buying this costume will be buying it as the symbiote costume, instead of the Peter's lesser-known non-symbiote replica that he used after.

i notice the photo shoot symbiote spidey had no problems with his legs like the rest of us... lol im a super big fan of the black costume, however the problem with the legs was a big disappointment.

Anyway, yeah, the symbiote suit didn't have normal web shooters, which is what this suit is. Plus, that McFarlane joke of a series where he wore a black costume in the 90s was just that, a joke.

I think the guys are also talking about post-civil war when he returned to the black design to show he was in mourning. It sounds kinda emo when I type it here but it made sense to me at the time.

Either way, this Spidey toy is the Symbiote suit, not just some random one.

I think this was the only one I got this wave. I'm pretty choosy over stuff that isn't Transformers. However, this is my absolute favorite Spidey costume. It's fantastic to have one that finally matches the rest of my small collection of the new Legends style. The old Classics one has better articulation but some funny bits that aren't quite right for this version. I'm plenty pleased with mine.

I wanted to get Ms Marvel to totally repaint her for a custom. Hope that's not bad of me :P I haven't seen any of the Sandman waves emerge yet at any of my stores. I've heard people are having a bit of a hard time finding them. Jackal looks cool. So does Ms. Marvel. I just really like her headsculpt and want to use it for something I was planning on for awhile.

Anyway this Spidey figure came with web-shooter hands in every other release along with open hands and fist hands, there doesn't seem like there's a good reason why they couldn't be thrown in for this version, too. |

It looks great I wonder if you painted it brown and got a wolf head from something if it would be a good werewolf by night.

I'll second his comments as I'm really not a fan of the BAF concept. I usually only ever like a few characters at most in a wave & so it means I'm left with useless body parts that take space that could have been used by character specific accessories. |
