Sorry, Hasbro, but Spider-Man should only have two costumes: Red/blue and black/white... MAYBE the Ironspider costume for a chaser. So guess who Spider-Man had to fight, since his bad guys weren't around? The only other figure clogging the shelves... one of the 300 variants of Wolverine.

As someone who chronicles the 6" scale line, I can tell you that there has not been a year since the creation of Spidey Classics over 13 years ago where there was not at least one classic costume or one symbiote style costume on the shelves in some form or another. Not to say that you missed one when you were looking, they might have sold out. But the Spidey Classics line kept these things out their non stop. Now any other character, and you have an argument. Even Wolverine has had a year when you didn't get a classic colors Wolvie, and Iron Man has had years where you didn't get a normal sized classic red and gold. But the big three get pretty well represented.
