I'm stuck in bed with a migraine, but I had to pop online long enough to comment and say this about the apparent second Retro Spider-Man wave: WHOO-HOO!!!

The line up is a curious one, but I love it. I'm surprised the "confirmed" Black Costume Spider-Man and Hobgoblin listings from a few months back didn't make the roster. Maybe they're Fan Channel releases? I have no idea what this means for the likes of Sandman, Lizard, Rhino and Shocker, who were rumored possibilities.

This is very smart on Hasbro's part, as the first Retro Spider-Man wave is my favorite Marvel Legends wave to date. All of the figures from the Retro Spider-Man wave have just impressed the heck out of me.

I have no idea which suit Chameleon could end up getting, whether it's the smoking jacket, suit and tie, or even '90s animated series suits. As long as we get two or three civilian heads for Chameleon, I'm all for it. I have no idea which FF suit would be for Spider-Man. I missed out on the two-pack of Kraven, so I hope he gets his classic suit colors, and if they gave the normal figure feet for Carnage with an alternate Cletus Kasady head, I'm ready to buy both! Jack O'Lantern is also a welcome addition, as I don't remember the last time he got a figure. Maybe they'll use the black cat figurine from the Retro Black Cat action figure for Jack O'Lantern as a nod to Maguire Beck/Mad Jack. Just speculating.

Now for the big one: Uncle Ben. Is this a civilian figure or his alternate reality Spider suit? If it is a civilian, which I'd prefer, I would imagine that Aunt May isn't far behind. I'm surprisingly excited to see what Uncle Ben looks like, as I'd buy a figure or two of him.

Since Spider-Man turns 60 next year, along with Ant-Man, The Incredible Hulk and The Mighty Thor, I'm expecting big Marvel Legends plans. Maybe next year we can get a third Retro wave and we can finally get figures for characters like Aunt May Parker, Doctor Octopus, Sandman, Shocker, Web Armor Spider-Man and classic Scarlet Spider. Time, and Hasbro, will tell.

Have a great day, everyone, and stay safe. Back to bed... ugh.
