Why the change of opinion, did I miss something??

Truth be told...I was scratching my head over the same thing after seeing the love and claims that Scarlett Spider would be the hot seller of the wave (which...it hasn't been I'm sure. My stores are LOADED with SS.) In fact...it was the clone saga story line that not only got me to stop buying comics, but to stop watching the cartoon on FOX as well when they decided to do their take on it. I hated the idea of Spider-Man being a clone (despite being told to comic fans for nearly 30 years that he was the one and only) and ended up loathing the various clone characters that came along with it. It also set up the return of Norman Osborne, which, while a Green Goblin fan, I also felt was a huge cop-out, diminishing the powerful tale of tragedy that was the death of Gwen Stacy.

That said...I did buy SS, but more because I love that "pizza" Spidey mold and can't get enough of it. I guess it kinda also shows how much Hasbro is hitting it out of the park as of late with Legends, if they can get a guy who HATES the Ben Reilly character to pick up a figure based on him...lol.

That said...this might be one of my favorite waves of Legends figures ever, even more so than the Green Goblin wave, which I honestly felt did not have one bad figure in it, and would be hard to top. The Rhino is impressive (although I do like my ToyBiz Fearsome Foes version a hair better) and every figure (cept maybe Misty Knight, who I did not pick up) was a knockout for me. Including Scarlett Spider.

And that just made me throw up in my mouth a little just saying that. =D
