Thank you. I could actually see Hasbro doing that and I would buy it. However, I really, REALLY, REALLY want the next Doc Ock figure to be sold separately everywhere. I hate seeing long-awaited and long-requested figures get sold as part of a two-pack and/or exclusively sold at a single store or website.

I didn't want another Ock and I won't be buying the animated for the bendy wires because I bought a custom last year when they said the wires would be too expensive to integrate. See that, Hasbro, you messed up with your silly coyness; always shoot straight, candor and transparency win business. The custom has actual corrugated metal tentacles made from adjustable arms used for book lamps. The effect is pretty satisfying (that’s why I bought it), and the arms have a rich metallic luster. Once I went that route, anything Hasbro was going to do became irrelevant.

In any event, congrats, you're batting a high average with your Spidey wants as it regards what Hasbro makes – I believe the redone Sandman, Hammerhead, redone Shocker, and redone Ock have all been requests you’ve made. I’d be jealous if not for Blue Marvel, Morg, Firelord, the Fallen One, FA Captain Marvel/Photon/Spectrum/Pulsar/whatever and, kinda, sorta, Luke Cage - I understand what they were shooting for with the deep plunging shirt and sculpt aesthetic, I just am not happy with the disappearing ab crunches.

Yeah, as I said, I'm gladly accepting the blame! I didn't realize just how many of my Spidey wish-list characters have been made. I'm just throwing these out there for Dwight Stall, Ryan Ting, Dan Yun and the other Hasbro folks to read: comic book Aunt May Parker, classic Vulture, classic green-and-orange Doctor Octopus with the bendable wire tentacles and black glasses with white lenses a la "The Death of Captain Stacy", classic Mysterio with an alternate civilian head of Quentin Beck, a John Romita Sr. art-based classic Green Goblin with the bat-wing Goblin Glider, a John Romita Sr. first-appearance Mary Jane Watson, classic purple-and-blue suit Boomerang, classic Black Cat, classic Jack O'Lantern, a John Romita Jr. comic book accurate Hobgoblin with alternate heads like Jason Macendale and/or Roderick Kingsley, Carrion, Octo-Spidey with the bendable wire tentacles, Fusion from Paul Jenkins' "Peter Parker: Spider-Man" run, the 1999 "Spider-Man Unlimited" suit Spider-Man, and 1994 animated series figures of Peter Parker (preferably in his season 2 clothes), Mary Jane Watson, Felicia Hardy, J. Jonah Jameson, Alistair Smythe with his hoverchair, Mysterio, the Shocker, the Chameleon, Morbius the Living Vampire, the Green Goblin with alternate heads of Norman and Harry Osborn, and the Rheinholdt Kragov version of Electro from Season 5. It'd also be nice to get non-exclusive animated series figures of Spider-Man and Venom that everyone can find (and afford). To make them unique, give Spidey an alternate Peter Parker head and give Venom an alternate Eddie Brock head.

And don't EVEN get me started on my wish-list for the Hulk. He's long overdue for some Marvel Legends attention. I'm hoping we'll at least see some kind of She-Hulk, Professor Hulk in his brown Pantheon era jumpsuit, Tyrannus, the Ringmaster, the Absorbing Man, classic Abomination and the Leader in his orange-and-black suit with the "Jiffy Pop" giant brain look.

I'm also sure we'll see Armani suit Doc Ock within the next few years, especially since Hasbro has oddly been making a lot of figures in jackets, business suits and lab coats lately. And as I said, I'm worried about the lack of ab crunches and alternate heads with recent reveals. I get that Hasbro is trying to keep the prices down, but the lack of accessories is really hurting the new figure reveals for me.

To start, of course.

I second that idea! There are a ton of Fantastic Four figures that I'd love to add to my collection! I'm very surprised we haven't had any new figures yet for Mole Man, the Wizard, Trapster and Annihilus. I'd still love to see a Puppet Master and Alicia Masters two-pack made at some point. I'd also love to see more F.F. suit figures, like Invisible Woman in her 1995 suit (with the opera gloves, not the two-piece suit) and the "Heroes Return" uniforms.
