This already is salt in an open wound to me. I wouldn't have complained about a Deluxe release for Doctor Octopus, but this two-pack version makes it more unlikely. Wouldn't it have made more sense to have a Deluxe Doc Ock for either the Marvel Legends 20th Anniversary wave (since Doc Ock was in Series 8 of the Toy Biz ML toyline) or the Retro Spider-Man wave with bendable wire tentacles? It's been four years since we got a Doc Ock figure and it makes sense to have an Ock figure released for Spidey's 60th anniversary year, since Ock is one of Spidey's oldest and most persistent foes. I just wish this Ock hadn't been released in a two-pack, and likely an expensive one to boot. I would love a No Way Home version of Doc Ock, but if that's the only way we get a Ock with bendy wire tentacles, that will be very, VERY disappointing. I just wish that we'd get new figures for popular characters like classic Spidey, '90s costume versions of the X-Men, classic Captain America, classic Hulk, and so on every two or three years to make it easy for new and old collectors to find them if they missed the previous versions. As we've seen with the Retro waves, classic versions of Marvel characters always sell and usually go for $60 to $150 per figure within a few years. Just look at 2020's Retro Spider-Man and any Jim Lee X-Men character for proof.
