On the Fwoosh, someone spotted the Toy Biz Spider-Man animated series figure of the Hobgoblin held in Venompool's hands.

That got me thinking: do we know three of the rumored five Retro Spider-Man figures? We got TV listings for 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9. So, if we do get new figures for Lizard, Shocker and Hobgoblin, who would the other two Retro characters be? A civilian character and an ally? Two alternate Spider-Man costumes? Two more classic villains?

I really hope Doctor Octopus and Sandman are two of the upcoming Retro figures for this year. Classic Sandman is long overdue and everyone knows I'd gladly give Hasbro all my money for a new classic Doctor Octopus with bendable wire tentacles.

Lizard is my favorite Spidey bad guy, so he’s my top choice for the wave. I think we should expect at least one to be a Spider-Man variant. Didn’t Rektangular mention that a new 2099 is coming? Assuming Lizard, Hobgoblin, & Shocker, that leaves us with one spot. And, man, that one spot is hard to fill. There’s so many excellent options. I would be most excited for a civilian, but animate-style Punisher or a new Venom would likely be a stronger seller.
