I hear what you are trying to say, although what I think is pretty interesting is that for all the complaining we do about there being yet another Spider-Man in the wave, these are not the figures that are peg warming (outside of the Spider Women.) It has been the supporting characters like Speed Demon, Beetle, Morbius, and Misty Knight that have been clogging up shelves over the past two years. Pizza and Symbiote Spidey were two of the most sought-after Spider-Man figures in years, and the teen Spider-Men we're really difficult to find as well. And these figures were all double packed of all things. And the newer Spider-Man figures are moving as well it would seem, as I haven't even run into a Spider UK or the new 2099 yet despite having seen the rest of the wave in the wild a few times. So while we are groaning about yet another Spider-Man, they move, and again it does say that that maybe we're going about about this all wrong.

At least these "new" Spider-Man characters, as nuanced as they are, are actual characters, and are not kiddie gimmick characters like Water Warrior or Sky Surfing Spider-Man
