That style display is meant to fill an endcap display and that is all. Floor display's are much bigger.

And it really depends on the toy department manager on how things go out. IF there is not enough room or they can not kill a current display, they will sometimes take all the stuff out of a shipper and just put it in the home aisle spot.

And yes, I know what I am talking about. I work for the big blue box and am on quite good terms with the toy department manager. :-)

Yep, the Tom Holland head will be in the Iron Man 2-pack, as of ToyFair17.

Amazon gave me some credit towards the purchase of one of those graphic novels in the sale. Any recommendations? Bought the Dark Phoenix saga, X-Men Second Genesis and Infinity Gauntlet

This. Usually store employees have very little say with how items are displayed outside of stocking pegs. Most are required to follow a layout, or are at the discretion of a department manager.

I think it has the potential to make a really cool looking figure though. The colors should pop nicely as there arent many pink/white figures.

We all love the classic characters, but Vulture needed an update and an upgrade if he was going to pass as the main villain for a feature length film.

Yah but they didnt have to make him look like hal jordan with metal legs. He coulda at least had a green jacket for a lil bit of symmetry.

Since I have both I will say that looking at Green Goblin's glider really makes Hobgoblin's glider disappointing, it's just so small and because the stirrups are towards the back he can't even really use it as a base. Before Green Goblin came out I was fine with it because I just figured a larger glider would drive up costs but Hasbro clearly demonstrated otherwise.

Like her or not ( and I agree she is kind of a wasted joke character) she is popular.

Same reason as Ms. Marvel. And Daredevil, and Moon Knight, and Misty Knight, and Ghost Rider, and whoever else I'm probably forgetting. Spider-Man waves almost always have that one extra slot that is taken up by a random non-Spidey hero.

Nevertheless, honestly, there has never been a perfect glider. I really want to a glider that lets me pose my figure like this while on it:

I just think that pose looks really badass and terrifying.

Oh, and who knows, maybe they will give Demo the correct GG glider. lol



Since Demo should just be the Hobby body with the Macendale head but in blue, red, and yellow, it should be quite nice.



But is she popular because she is the newest thing that came out like 3 months ago or popular because she has had solid character development over the last several years?

Remember the Lantern Colored heroes? Those were popular... for a few months.



Daredevil, Ms Marvel, Misty Knight, and Ghost Rider have actually teamed up with Spider-Man in the past though. They have fought with him. That is the same reason why Cloak, Dagger, and Sleepwalker would be perfect for the Spidey waves. Hell, Sleepwalker should be before Gwenpool. He has 25 yeas on her.

Gwenpool's not even a real super hero and they should be making the civilian characters that matter like Gwen Stacy, George, Robbie, Debbie, Marcy, Ned, Betty, Gloria, maybe an actual Jameson, a regular Silvermane, a regular Hammerhead, etc.
