Toad is really gorgeous despite the arm pins.

Loving the spider-man stuff.

The fact that the Disney plus series was in package gives me hope it’s coming sooner.

The closed packaging is fine, but I worry about paint apps when buying in person. I actually don’t buy some figures unless I see them just to make sure paint are ok. I also sometimes see a figure and say “wow, that looks cooler than I thought, I’ll buy it.” The Impulse buy is now removed. The up side, you can have a closed box and still open your figure.

The lack of Marvel Cinema sets is concerning. 4 years in a row we have had large programs for older films. This year is Ned and Peter from homecoming, part of no larger program at this point.

I posted this in another thread.

2018 saw the release of the “first ten years” sets. There were 11 different releases covering 20 figures. Also the defenders saw a 2-pack and the SDCC set was released adding 5 of the most expensive figures.

2019 saw the “80th anniversary of marvel” which included past MCU characters. This included 5 two-packs covering 10 figures from the MCU past films. Plus The SDCC set was the “collector” and “grandmaster”. Adding 2 more to the mix.

2020 saw the FOX X-MEN “20th anniversary sets” these included 8 different releases from the films covering 11 past film figures, 13 if you count the young Charles and Magneto. We also saw the MCU Stan Lee, the 5-pack “children of Thanos” set and the BAF “Groot” exclusive that year. The Groot set added 3 Groots to the mix.

2021 saw the “infinity war saga series” which included 10 releases for a total of 14 figures from past MCU films. Also a “dusty” Deadpool was released for the films and an exclusive spider-man homecoming “Vulture”. Adding 2 more for past films.

2022……?
