Now some people say "but they all peg warm!" Well no, they just send a lot of copies of characters like Spidey and Iron Man. If Hasbro was not happy with how the characters sell, they would then stop repackaging them and doing new versions of them (Spidey 2099, Iron Man 2020, the new Bleeding Edge IM figure for 2011, Spidey being packaged with Sentry, the multiple Wolverines, et cetra). Hasbro does what is in their best interest.

As far as this line of 2-packs go, every single figure is a repaint or slightly different version of an already released figure so I think it's kind of hard to complain about Spidey. I do wish the Spidey figure was a little different though, someone told me the head sculpt is different but I don't see it. Even the classic Iron Man figure has something new about it (blue arc light as opposed to yellow in the previous two versions).

Thats true....and technically this is only the second time we have seen the Modern Iron Man sculpt, as well as Green Goblin. It seems like that they are giving people who never got these figures a second chance to get them. I know a lot of people are holding out to do this for Black Panther as he was one of the rarer ones.
