Yeah, $120 is a great deal for the figures that are in the SDCC set, basically two BAFs and then 4 singles.

At this point, Spidermen and Spiderwomen are hitting similar levels of obscurity with a second 2099 Spidey, a British Spidey, Ashley Barton (depending on reading tastes) etc...I just don't see why Hasbro would stop this trend, espcially as they start 'reaching' (some think they already are) for character fodder.

Most of the symbiotes released are just different variations of the same character/host, just like the many versions of Caps/Spideys/IronMan.

Venom Symbiote = Venom, Agent Venom, Superior Venom, Space Venom
Carnage Symbiote = Carnage, Spider-Carnage
Eddie Brock = Venom, Anti-Venom, Toxin

Mary Jane in the Iron Spider armor would be pretty cool too

TheBlueMarvel · 07-23-2016, 10:42 AM

@Redfox

Yes, of course. However, that doesn't change the number of actual releases nor the likelihood of the trend continuing.

page change, move my edit:

@Veronica

So impossibly down with Julia, Dusk (I'd be very interested to see how they handle her costume), Maddie, and Madame Web (want her the most, but she MUST have her web-throne)...Madame Web would actually make all this Spider-verse fig craziness make sense on our shelves...

Veronica Mars · 07-23-2016, 10:51 AM

They could do Madam Web and her throne as a BAF. As for Dusk I see them doing an all black Mayday Parker with Storm's cape

Of the more popular ones like Venom and Carnage, sure. But people like Scream or those other Maximum Carnage symbiotes have faded quite a bit.

TheBlueMarvel · 07-23-2016, 11:30 AM

No...more...symbiotes...did it work?...where's Wanda?

Captain Nash · 07-23-2016, 11:38 AM

I broke down and bought the Toy Biz Scorpion for $40 wtih free shipping from Amazon. I need that character now after forgetting about him on all my lists for these years.

I could definitely see this happening, but hopefully with Jessica Jones body, we'll see good ol' Mary Jane Watson in civilian garb. All they'd have to do is take off the jacket piece, swap the arms with bare-skinned ones, and a new head. Your welcome, Hasbro, I've done your job for you!

As long as the character has "Venom" or "Carnage" added to their name, I agree. If not, not so much.

Venom
Dreadface
Carnage
Scream
Lasher
Phage
Agony
Riot
Hybrid
Toxin
Payback
Anti-Venom
ZZZXX
Scorn
Mania
Marcus
Karl Malus

ariellagunas · 07-23-2016, 12:27 PM

Arrrg! 5 hours to go to see the Marvel Panel... Basically 1:00 am in the UK.

I've caved in and ordered some SDCC exclusives:
Dreadknight, Enchantress, Killgrave, Vina, Newt and the Collectors set from a UK seller, cause I like the box, and I got to have the dogs. Animals always get the best of me.
There goes my summer toy budget, and I got London Comic Con next week, and I really want to meet Famke Janssen and Gary Leach.
This is definitely my most expensive month (with Christmas) of the year. Also my busiest, work ways, so it kind of works, somehow...
I have the impression some of my stuff will have to go for sale...not ML thou. Or Aliens...or...you get the idea.

Jesus Christ I knew there were a lot of symbiotes but I didn't realize it this many. For me the only ones I care about are Venom (Eddie Brock) and Carnage(Cleutus Kassidy).

Mania is pretty cool. After that just Venom and Carnage.

Veronica Mars · 07-23-2016, 12:32 PM

You got two kidneys right ?

XW1n5t0nX · 07-23-2016, 01:25 PM

So I went out with my folks today and while they were looking at kitchen stuff I thought I'd pick up some cards from my hobby shop. This turned into one of the best visits ever because I found this beauty. For retail.

@Veronica

Dontcha mean dat symbiote?

TheBlueMarvel · 07-23-2016, 01:51 PM

@Nite

Ha!

...but yeah, that list of 'horses'

that Veronica put out is muuuuch longer than the list in my mind...uhh, yeah....maybe "ALL" of them aren't getting made after all...how'd Marvel editors ok that to begin with? They pay them to say 'yes' AND 'no' to concept pitches...sheesh.

Veronica Mars · 07-23-2016, 01:55 PM

Marcus, one of the newer ones towards the bottom of the list is a Centaur werewolf symbiote, so as horses go, symbiotes got something for everybody

TheBlueMarvel · 07-23-2016, 02:05 PM

Smdh...ARE YOU SERIOUS?...and the hits just keep on coming! lol
