I understand that this is nostalgia twice removed: first for Spidey/Marvel, then a redoubling for the associated 'toons. I also get the gimmick involved. Reuse and resale with the plausible deniability of 'we're giving you more chances to buy at retail figs that have soared beyond reach on the secondary market'. Albeit, animated Spidey looks to possibly be a preemptive reuse of a mold to be released in the near future.

I look at classified with green eyed envy, but I also wonder how long it'll be before it goes the way of Legends.

- As much as I like the new Rhino, I still prefer the old head sculpt and paint app...as well as the old pizza Spidey mold...and Miles' old costume.. oldy photos

Great pics. I love both Rhinos (BAF and Retro). IMO, Retro Rhino, is a re-do done correctly, and didn’t feel like Hasbro stole my money…Lol…

Note: Is the Retro Rhino considered cel shading? If so, the blending of the color are done so natural like. And, if he is cel-shaded, I purchased my first cel shaded figure without even knowing it…Lol
