I don't think it's worth $50.
I also don't think the Mafex version is worth $120. Both can be overpriced.

It "sold out" on HasbroPulse and Amazon only, which means nothing because it's still available on BBTS and EE with full 24 piece allotments.

I’m curious as to why at $50 they kept that ab crunch. The full waist is the main reason I favor Mafex’s. The superior look and movement to me. This line could still create some supplemental figs for the Mafexs I have. I have very few Marvel figs. The premium figs are awesome for a small collection. I love the way they feel and move. |

I don't see any hypocrisy there... every person who buys these at $50 IS a dumb mf overpaying for a flex. It's absurd.

Also, if you did not expect it to be $50 that's a YOU problem.

selling out in only two places doesn't prove anything. I didn't have any expectations and and no people are not buying.E xcept for the people who fear of missing out and scalpers.

Yeah, it looks like the scalper's and for FOMOS bought them all or Hasbro engineered a false sellout everywhere. Because now even bbts and entertainment earth are sold out, yesterday both places had full stock. |

There needs to be some sort of protections against scalpers on websites. It happens for a lot of things now, even video games. I guess these companies won't care as long as they get money.
I've seen scalpers create new listings for a pre-order item, obviously intending to get the pre-order themselves & immediately sell it at a higher price. But their fake listings will stay up longer than the original sellers so you have a "longer opportunity" to get it. Pre-orders shouldn't even really sell out, IMO, since it's basically saying how much demand is for an item & not yet relates to what exists in reality. Last edited by JPs; 02-14-2025 at 06:56 PM.. |

The prices are definitely ridiculous. & I definitely refuse to buy anything that's been raised much higher than retail. I will take my time & hope that prices for any of this go down before I buy because yes these prices aren't right. Unfortunately, probably in large part due to these scalpers which are almost encouraged by companies like Hasbro, prices don't really go down much anymore, & they're too high to begin with like their last Phoenix. Hasbro was like the first ones to raise their prices in inflation, & have been a let down & frustrating in a lot of ways including very incrementally increasing the quality of figs but just barely not quite as they should be so they can rerelease in a year. Why buy any of it if you would feel remorse in a few months? & it proves they knew there was something missing, or something wrong with it but released it anyway to rip people off

I think Hasbro with Disneys help has destroyed action figures. Just looking around, the enthusiasm is gone.
Many of the toys news sites are to blame also. They aligned themselves with Disney messaging back in 2020. Short sightedly, Disney, Hasbro, WB seem to drive fans away through messaging, prices and terrible entertainment with messaging. I got tired of posts being removed and moved on. Listening to Anthony Mackie, he has done no favors to the next stinker. 50 bucks for 30 dollar figure is crazy. Good luck Hasbro to. Not plopping down 50 bucks for a 30 dollar figure. |

That figure would be unenjoyable to own given the controversy attached to it. Lol if I had that I would just be trying to justify its purchase. We need to remember these things are supposed to give us some joy, not stress.

ahem.
The Blob costs like 75 bucks or more. even the Stryfe multipack is like a 100ish bucks. so 50 bucks for one Ultimate edition spider-man. I think its reasonable. so shut your pie holes, people |

I've come to this mind set. I worked for the money..I'll buy what I want..you do the same.
If it makes you happy/brings you some joy..it can't be that bad. |

As for the Hasbro one, eh, it's okay if you're into MLs I guess, nice bunch of accessories and extra articulation over standard Legends. I've just never liked their gummy plastic and hella weak paint apps. |

Admittedly I haven't played SM2 but in the Miles game his 2099 suit didn't look like that. Did they change it?

Haven't played the game, but I'm in for the black suit Spidey & Black Cat. Love the ponytail look for Felicia!
Really conflicted on X-23. Not loving the faces at all. |

Miles has two 2099 suits. This new figure is based on the Brooklyn 2099 suit from Spider-Man 2. The other suit is just called Miles Morales 2099. It features a hood, a couple of fins on his forearms, and a symbol that's similar to Miguel O'Hara's symbol. It's available in SM:MM and SM2.

That's the one I'm thinking of and the only one I liked in the Miles game.
