To be honest, I tried hard to develop an interest in the character, but she just doesn't appeal to me, so for a while, I decided that I didn't need her in my Legends collection.
However, recently, I was thinking that due to her ever-increasing popularity, along with the fan frenzy over the other Marvel characters (like the female Captain America) on her Earth, I wouldn't be surprised if Marvel tried to capitalize on Spider-Gwen's popularity by releasing other comics that feature characters from her Earth, Earth-65.
I don't foresee Marvel attempting an alternate universe on a large scale, like they did with the Ultimate U, but I can imagine them creating something on par with Spider-Girls's MC2 Universe, but that's just my opinion.

Personally, I would LOVE to see an Earth-65 Human Torch. Even though I'm a HUGE Fantastic Four fan, I really feel that few writers since John Byrne have made Johnny Storm interesting or likable. However, I loved the Ultimate version of Johnny Storm. Millar made him fun again in Ult. F4, while Bendis wrote some good stories about Johnny (and his friendship with Peter Parker, in particular) in Ultimate Spidey. I really think that Jason Latour could come up with a really cool Earth-65 version of Johnny.
And not just Johnny. There are plenty of other characters that I'd like to see reinterpreted on that Earth. Apparently She-Hulk is supposed to appear in an upcoming issue, so I just may have to pick that issue up.

So anywaaaayyyy, back to the Spider-Gwen figure !
If a series of books based in the aforementioned alternate Earth does indeed happen, and if any of those characters or books appeals to me (like an Earth-65 Human Torch ), I wanted to hedge my bets, and make sure that I already have the matriarch of Earth-65 in my Legends collection !

Whew ! Sorry it took me so long to finally get to my point, lol !

I believe Spider-Gwen's popularity has simmered down.. i know a while back she was on fire. Her first appearance as well as anything she was in was selling like crazy. Now while she has a fan base, i feel its not the same as prior. If im correct the newest marvel trend which should be coming out this month should be the Gwenpool....
