That said, I'm underwhelmed. No bendable wire tentacles is something I get, as Ryan Ting said they're expensive, but Marvel Legends is already expensive, so why not include them anyway? I was also hoping for Ock's black glasses with white mirrored lenses, a la "The Death of Captain Stacy" and "Sinister War". We also have the bigger pincers and stupid lights on the tentacles, so the tentacles aren't "classic" looking. And if Ock is in a two-pack, that stinks. I don't like Silk and new collectors who want a Doc Ock can get him in an expensive two-pack. Oy.

I find it odd that every classic figure Hasbro has made has something off about it. For the 20th Anniversary figures, Captain America figure's shield has holes in it, the Hulk's head sculpts were odd choices, and Iron Man's Tony Stark head is too big. Add in Siryn's lack of a screaming head and the lack of rings on Havok's neck and I'm questioning Hasbro's decisions more than I did before, and I really, REALLY don't like that.

Seriously, Hasbro, what's going on?

Kinda brilliant really; if you never put out a perfect release, people will keep buying the "one step forward, two steps back" versions you put out!
