While not as cool as the Scarlet Spider costume I've always loved Ben's Spider-Man costume.

My hatred for those shoulder joints still knows no bounds though.

Am I the only one to receive Ben with the right thwipping hand to have a peg thinner than the other two right hands? Both of my Bens have it so the hand can not not spin around when I move his arm.

I disagree about the alternate head being bad.

Yeah, other then the alternate head having a somewhat neutral expression it's actually pretty good, in my opinion.

Not really upset about the lack of an ab crunch, either. Those usually look bad on female figures, IMO. The lack of range of motion in the hips is a bummer, however. Still, overall, it's a fantastic-looking figure.

I guess Nick Spencer really likes this new Beetle since he made her one of the main characters in Superior Foes of Spider-Man and has included her as a main character in his Ant-Man book. I'm glad that she's evolved beyond just being the new Beetle who briefly fought Captain America once.

Beetle looks pretty good. Wings look massive. Very good pics too.

She is my least favorite figure in the wave. Just a pointless character all around.

Went to a TRU with 8 Spider-Carnage, 3 each of all other characters in the wave, but no Spider-Gwen nor Venom. How is the wave packed?

The first case revision has two Ben Reilly Spidermans each, along with one of each of the other characters. The next case revision, due out later this month, should have two Venoms per case, along with one each of the other characters.

One of the best overall Legends waves in ages. Just about the entire wave is full of must-haves for me.

With Beetle and the previously-released Speed Demon and Boomerang, slowly but surely my Superior Foes of Spider-Man line-up is nearing completion. Anyone know if there are eventual plans to release Shocker and Overdrive? They HAVE to do 'em at some point!

Overdrive feels like the main obstacle between the two since Shocker has (surprisingly) maintained a following but I'm not sure how popular/unpopular Overdrive is. Overdrive would be very easy to make however since Hasbro would get away with just reusing the AIM/Ghost Rider body and making a new head.

Hasbro doesn't seem to have a problem releasing the occasional scrub character as filler in a Legends wave, so hopefully Overdrive will pop up sooner or later.

All I know of Jack O' Lantern is that the guy was killed by the Punisher (if I recall) and his body was one of 666 vessels for Lucifer that then fought and was soon exploded by Ghost Rider. And he had that circular hover-disc thing. And the whole thing took place in Sleepy Hollow so he was chopping off people's heads. It was a fun couple of issues.

Figure looks pretty sweet.

It's funny, I was just looking at Jack earlier today, thinking "man this crazy figure looks awesome", and the photos do that notion justice. I don't know if I'll be able to afford it (I still need to pick up Scarlet Spider and Ben Spidey), but for sheer uniqueness, I think I want Jack more than I want Venom from the same wave.

Somehow we've gotten every other main Symbiote before Venom from Hasbro. Carnage, Toxin, and Anti-Venom (he counts enough) all got toys before the original in this line.

That's why I've put mine like this in the case:

See, I already have Anti-Venom too, who I actually prefer to the original. Since the bodies are (rightfully) the same between Venom and Anti, I'm feeling less inclined to pick up Venom immediately.

Also, Kain, love that display.
