MarvelousNews POLL: Will You Buy The New Marvel Legends Maximum Series Spider-Man If The MSRP is $49.99?

I'd like to say no but I can't rule it out. I've certainly paid more for less before.

Yes, but very grudgingly, and with a lot of complaining. For any figure besides Spider-Man? Absolutely not. Either way, this subline will probably reduce the amount of accessories that we get with a standard figure.

No. I rarely go over the 25 rrp let alone 50 for another spidey. They need to add soft goods street clothing at least

Yes. $50 would be on the upper end of the price spectrum, but given the amount of articulation, accessories and deco on this figure, I think it's still fair. I do prefer a more vibrant Spidey suit, but this is the definitive version of one of the most iconic Spidey suits and I'm not adverse to paying a bit more for it.

This a big issue for me as well. Here I just bit the bullet and bought the Secret Wars Cap and Spidey cause they were "perfect". Now I'm already anticipating that the Max line of figures will surely have both sooner than later. Now we will see how fast that happens. We get Hulk next, hoping for Thor and DD. But how fast will these be cranking out? 2-4 a yr or 1 a month?

I'm not sure if this is preemptive Doom and gloom or not. Did you hear rumblings JayC, or is this just a worst case scenario? Like I said earlier. I'm guessing 40. Which is a little more than I like, but not the end of the world. But who knows. 70 for Lockjaw-Crystal and 50 for Phoenix so....

I do get a little surprised more collectors don't aim their annoyance at companies like Super 7 ect that charge what I think are INSANE prices and sell enough to make Hasbro say mmmmm why aren't we charging more? It has to factor in. Idk, Hasbros been pushing it for a while now. I was petering out on Star Wars yrs ago, but anymore they have completely priced me out even when I see something I used to drool over. 25 bucks for a 3 3/4 figure with a backpack? So I do hope Legends doesn't do the same. It is always a worry. Where is the line i wont cross? A few yrs ago I would have said "no way am I paying 25" but here we are.

Too much of a Spidey fan to say no, so yes. Planning to get at least two, but if it's $50, maybe not.

Absolutely not. I think this is the bellweather point. If they get away with 50 it will become the benchmark. Sure it's cheaper than Mafex or SHF but are we really going to let the import market set the standard for our market? Of course it is the most popular character Marvel and perhaps Disney owns at the time so I'm sure this will pass at whatever price but what happens when they try to push the lesser properties at that price? Will you buy a Cap at that price? How about Moon Knight. And I can't even imagine how hefty a price they'll try to put on a character like Hulk. Personally I'm more that happy with my RYV Spidey and also with the current Hulk. Talk to me if and when you do a Smart Hulk. Then you'll have me backed into a corner.

I'll pass, Spidey (reg version) is my least favorite character, but if they have something more in store with tons of accessories, like a Logan, Hulk, Thor, Fury, etc...

I'm also reminded of Transformers Generations constantly releasing the next best Optimus Prime pretty much every year. So, chances are there will be another Maximum Ultimate version of Spidey probably next year. Also it's not like they wouldn't release this mold again

There have been so many standard Spider-Man figures released recently that I could never bring myself to drop $50 on one just because of a few extra joints and a ton of accessories that will mostly end up in storage.
