With respect, Dr Kain, I disagree. If we're getting new Fox 'X-Men' movie figures, I'd be over the moon with happiness! I was so disappointed that the anniversary figures for the 'X-Men' film series in 2020 LEFT OUT THE X-MEN. If these listings are true, Wolverine, Storm, Cyclops and Nightcrawler are insta-buys if they're based on the original trilogy cast. Frankly, I hope this means we'll get Iceman, Rogue and Magneto sooner than later.

Oof, those Spider-Man reveals. Oh, sweet baby Jeebus, no. No, no.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, NO.

Who is asking for a figure of Spider-Boy when we can't even get the Chameleon, the Vulture, Armani suit Doc Ock, purple-and-blue suit Boomerang and classic Kaine made? Heck, where is Overdrive?!? I'll even take a new updated classic Spider-Man! Romita Sr. art based, or McFarlane based, Bagley, Frenz, Wieringo -- any look would do!

I am so sick of the Retro Spider-Man waves being filled up with dud characters. We're getting a Wal-Mart exclusive only classic Venom and a mass release for Slyde? Whoever is in charge of the Spider-Man waves needs to be replaced A.S.A.P. Was anyone REALLY asking for a Spider-Boy figure or for an Arachno-Man that I'm not aware of? I've never been a huge fan of Dan Slott's Spider-Man work and the current Amazing Spider-Man run by writer Zeb Wells is the worst I've ever read, even moreso than the Mackie/Byrne run, so any time we get figures by Slott and Wells makes me cringe.

This news is made even more infuriating by the fact that we have no idea what the next Spider-Man wave will be, or IF we'll even get one, for 2024. Having to wait until February to get new Spider-Man figures is so disappointing. I get that Covid and the strikes were a big part as to why 'Across the Spider-Verse' and its toys were delayed. I really do. But Hasbro really needs to have some "Plan B" waves on standby to reshuffle the next time something like this happens. I really hope we get a better selection of Spider-Man characters in the future.

After reading this news, I really hope the "Secret Wars" wave reveals knock my socks off, releases some A-list characters and builds my excitement back up. This Spider-Man news had the opposite effect for me.
