I legitimately feel sorry for Dwight, Ryan and Dan that the Spider-Verse wave got leaked last night. That said, the video left me underwhelmed and the new reveals weren't that exciting to me. I like 'Into the Spider-Verse', but I have zero interest in the figures as I mostly collect anything classic from the 616 universe of Marvel Comics pre-2005, with a few exceptions like the Grant Morrison New X-Men era which I personally hated.

Wolverine looks nice, but I would've preferred a Retro card Jim Lee Cyclops with an optic blast instead of the HoX/PoX suit, which I loathe. I never could find the Jim Lee Cyclops figure in the Warlock wave and not re-releasing him, especially considering his Ebay and Amazon prices at the moment, is incredibly disappointing and ridiculous to me. Marvel Girl looks cool, but those feet REALLY need to be fixed. Oddly enough, I'm most excited about the new Moira figure than the actual X-Men. And I think it's disappointing that we didn't get an update on Target's retro wave figures.

I didn't expect to see any new Spider-Man stuff that wasn't the Spider-Verse wave. I didn't, and still don't, expect to see any new classic Spider-Man stuff revealed for Marvel Legends until February or so, which is fine with me. But if I don't see any other classic/retro Spider-Man villains released at all in 2021 like Doc Ock with bendable wire tentacles and Shocker, and non-Build-A-Figure versions of Sandman, Lizard and Rhino, I'll be incredibly disappointed. Those figures are long, looooooong overdue.

Aside from classic Spider-Man, I'm hoping to see retro Fantastic Four figures and non-Gamerverse/non-MCU/non-Disney Plus figures of the Avengers. If we get more Marvel Legends figures of The Incredible Hulk and any FoX-Men characters in their X-Men uniforms (Wolverine, Storm, Jean Grey, Cyclops, Iceman, Rogue, Beast, Shadowcat, Colossus, etc.) or fan-favorite characters (Ian McKellen's original trilogy Magneto suit, Lady Deathstrike, Nightcrawler, etc.), then that'd be fine with me.

Whatever happens, I'm sure 2021 will be a great year for character/wave reveals and a terrible year for my wallet.
