Jesus, it looks like the 90s threw up on Spider-Man.

[TheBlueMarvel]

No, that would require copious amounts of pouches, useless straps and sashes, all topped with a coiffe of hair sticking out of the top of his cowl.

..maybe a trench-coat, as well.

HA! Yup. Surround him with some civilians in super-baggy jeans and Timbs, and dudes with long bangs with plaid oversized flannels and we've the makings for a perfect period piece.

That Spider-Man costume made me throw up a little. Seriously? He’s had some bad costumes in the past, but none THIS bad.

Not even Paste Pot Pete would be caught dead in this.

[Captain Nash]

Eh, I think the outfit could work for another character - obviously they'd have to throw out the full head mask and spider design, but this is just so far from a good look for Spider-Man.

Now thats sayin’ something.

Looks like a new update for cod piece ( yah i know he was dc but this is just that bad )

[Benn Roe]

Eh. It's a weird fit for Spider-Man, but it's fine. It's only going to last for an issue or two, so I wouldn't sweat it.

This guy makes cool customs. I’m not a fan of that design but he got to the custom quick.

[MeLikeJinx]

^ All the cyborg Spideys are gone at my Targets, so I bet even that Spiderman would sell too I bet.

I'm in that group too. I saw that post. That's one hell of a fast worker!

Hopefully Target and Hasbro will handle the upcoming Cobra Island releases in this manner. How it's managed will strongly determine if I continue with that line going forward...

[Captain Nash]

Noting that Top 10 wishlist voting is now open over at Fwoosh. You don't have to have an account there to vote, just a disqus account. There are specific rules for format of your lists though!

I mentioned my top 10 a few weeks ago and nothing's changed. This was absolutely the easiest time I've had doing my top 10 wishlist. If I had to stop collecting after getting my top 10 and 1 BAF, I'd be fine. I mean, there's always more I want, but it's actually a very clear cut off for me.

Oh i see target fubar-ing the new joe exclusives just as bad ss the previous ones. Exclusives to stores need to stop because they are just scalper bait.

Same here. I need to streamline my collection to begin with. Another Target mess would give me the perfect excuse.

That has been the case over the last couple of years, for sure, but the most recent Target exclusives were pretty easy-peasy to secure at retail. And that seems to have been the experience for even those that haphazardly walked in without employing online 'in-store' pickup options. This could mark a positive trend...

Main reason I gave up on the NECA cartoon TMNT line after a few releases.

I hate to admit it but me too. Ninja Turtles were one of my childhood favorites but the NECA toys are so difficult to find at retail prices. They keep putting out new figures and teasing upcoming releases but you can't find any in stores.

I'm glad Marvel Legends are so easy to find. I'm able get every one I want.

Thanks, Nash! I had just the opposite problem. I had a hell of a time narrowing my list down to ten. I left off a few of my top wants in service of inflating numbers for figures I assumed would be a hair shy of the top ten (namely Meggan). I put much more thought into my list this year, owing to Hasbro’s continued mention of the Fwoosh & its poll as something they pay mind. Here was my ten (eleven):

Banshee [Giant Size X-Men]

Ms. Marvel [Carol Danvers]

Kitty Pryde [Excalibur]

Rachel Summers [Excalibur]

Death’s Head

Adam Warlock [Classic]

Corsair

Tigra

Wonder-Man [Safari Jacket]

Meggan

BAF: Lockjaw

That's a pretty good list (Even if we only share 2 of them lol).

It's funny too becuase my list, not counting the BAF is 5 X-Men related and 5 non X-Men related, and also 5 updates/new outfits and 5 brand new characters. It's also like symmetry.

tangentially, I believe Banshee came in 2nd on the last poll (only behind Firestar) so I would be really surprised if he's not the #1 most requested figure.

I also think if I'm remembering last year's list right, Nimrod, FA Storm and Firestar were the only ones that got made that were on my top 10 list. Hoping I can cross off another 3/4 this next year.

Which are the shared two figures? Banshee was last year’s number two, and since I can’t see the demand for him having decreased since we narrowed in on the GSXM team this year, I am also pretty sure he’ll be this year’s number one. Off of last year’s list, we also got Falcon, although I suspect many people (like myself) were asking for a classic version rather than a modern version.
