I'd love if hasbro put as much thought into these things as you have snowflakian, but I look at the complete over saturation of the 6" stuff (how many cap and spidey figures have they released in the last year or so?) and it's easy for a lot of us to come to the conclusion we are just on the back burner for now. Hasbro sets the market and can pretty much do what they want. I just don't think there really is much of a market for the 2.5" stuff. I've seen kids buy multiple batman figures, spidey has that kind of market power IMO. Skipping spiderman makes about as much sense as repacking falcon and hawkeye 2 pack that peg warmed for $5 at discount stores or repacking Hyperion in a 2 pack when the single carded figure almost killed the line, (it doesn't make sense).
As for me, I'm just glad we are getting a spidey on the Jim lee cyclops buck.

Tom Welling?

Mixing up Superman and Spider-man just went to a whole new level.

Really, though, I think Hasbro was contractually obligated to wait on the Spidey stuff due to them keeping his design a secret for so long. I mean, they made designed the figures long enough ago that the movie straight up changed the chest logo and webbing on the figure!

(Note: I say that last bit based off of early set photos that were recently released that featured the Spider symbol as seen on the ML and Mini-verse version and had black raised webbing, which would explain the inset webbing on the ML.)

Also, can't wait for that Spidey on CA/DD body.
