Its folly to time the release of action figures around movies/tv shows that could be shut down at any moment due to covid.

It's what they've been doing the last 8 years and it seems to have been working out fine for them.

As for recent production, the hands are tied. The figures have already been made or were in the process of being developed when the productions shut down. They're not gonna just throw out figures they've already produced.

The Black Widow wave was released when everyone hoped and thought that it would still be released on time and there was already plenty of hype for it, sothe figures could sell. The thing is that Tie-in toylines need to actually tie into their product in order to get the casual fan cash boost.

I dunno, I agree with you but at the same time, from what I see at least, casual fans aren't buying Legends. It's guys like us who have lists and a serious passion. That or scalpers who want to make money off collectors. Timing is important but I just feel like the fans are going to buy it no matter when it releases. Except the Eternals. Those won't be going anywhere but the discount bins.

I'm not sure about that. When the Black Widow wave dropped it flew off the shelves (at least in my area) and I was forced to order the figures I needed online. That movie still hasn't been released and people took to it even without full knowledge of some of the new characters, nor a film in theaters to push the product.

They don't have much choice given the uncertainty. If they do and the movie is delayed then you're stuck with products on the shelves but you at least have something to sell. If they don't and the movie is released they they miss the perfect time to sell their products.

At least Web Man is a new character

We could still get Bag-Man in a Fantastic Four wave if not a Spidey wave.

As for Web-Man? I mean, they gotta churn out enough of these repaints in order to afford the new sculpts, I guess.

the negative zone version I get. It was featured in the PS4 game and had a figure of it in the Toybiz line. But this is just out there.

Ah well. More Spidey for me.

As for whether it is Kingsley, it would seem the most obvious one.

Yeah, like it's from Spidey Super Stories, the last place Ithought Hasbro would take inspiration from.

Also just remembered I did a Digibash of Webman two years ago.
