So I wouldn't read too much into it, and consider it a nice bone thrown to the community since Walmart previously had the spider-man 3 exclusive venom.

It's not being blunt stating another opinion unless you work for Hasbro and are stating it factually.

Regardless the reasons, it was still a pleasant surprise to see a Marvel figure made under the radar. Limited articulation aside, it was reasonably priced for what it was.

It was obvious from the official pics that it wasn't going to be super-articulated. At best, for serious collectors, it could easily be used for customizing.

Given the current 3.75 inch void in the line and no news of more MU or MCU figures announced, i bought into the future potential of offering action figures by this method as an additional way to collecting.

Whether or not my support made a difference, i've enjoyed my purchase and now have a fun movie souvenir figure to play with and display on my desk.
