I'll be getting that set just for Silk. Kinda bummed she is bundled with Doc Ock, as I was satisfied with the recent Hasbro version, and I still have my Toybiz one which has bendy tentacles that could be used on the Hasbro version.

It was likely all of the above. I remember our discussing Vulture receiving a tweak to the wings that was surreptitiously delivered shortly after release, almost like a running change. This iirc was followed up by a reveal of another Venom with Eddie Brock-head on the Hyperion mold and a reveal for the tweaked-paint Mysterio. I'm sure my recall of the order of events is a little wonky, but we engaged in a back and forth that Hasbro was developing a penchant for releasing figs that were slightly off as a strategy to double down on the quick triggers of early adopters.

Looks like the community is catching up to this concept now that it seems to be an all but confirmed phenomenon. That said, people are still requesting redrafts to enable Hasbro's laziness, so go figure. Ha!
