I'd guess Hasbro had these 12" Legends made with teens in mind and with some recognition of the adult community but it's still clear that this is not a detailed "for display only" piece so they definitely made it with some play in mind and not as a "this is for the collectors only" decision. It still says ages 4+ on the box so it's kid safe/aimed, albeit slightly older kids with more toy budget.

I highly doubt that Hasbro created this with teenagers in mind. These are aimed at adult collectors all the way. Hasbro hinted as such with the upcoming higher end props also under the Marvel Legends banner. I'd like to believe that Hasbro is not so dense to believe that teenagers are their core audience for these, because while I'm no marketing genius, even I know that if you put 50 bucks in the hands of a teenager these days, chances are that they're coming home with the newest video game over a giant sized action figure.

These are aimed at collectors. That said...for the price, I wish Hasbro would have done a better job. I know that I shouldn't look at things with rose colored glasses, but ToyBiz put out far superior 12 inch figures in terms of sculpt, articulation, and paint apps for less than half what Hasbro wants for this Spidey. I'm sure it will be a decent figure, and I am sure it will fill a void in some adult collector's collection, but at that price, I would rather look into something more worth my change from one of the other companies that are simply trying harder.
