I had a comment removed for just saying I wasn't going to be buying the PS5 wave?

My exact sentiments. Though I was having a hard time expressing it this puts it so easily. Just what do you do with these guys after you open them? Sure some of them look cool. But then you open them, admire them and then bag them up and move on. They're just these random out of place flash in the pan digital maps. They don't really fit anywhere in any collection. Unless you have a Spider-Man game collection I guess. And if you do how confident are you that here going to keep adding to and supporting it in the future? The saddest thing is they put so much work into these though. Certainly much more than they put into the average comic based figures. And like you said through all this effort and resource they use here we can't even get a proper updated DD or MK on the correct body model.
Makes sense that the battle damaged would be the black suit Toby. Bit of a bummer for me. I was really hoping for a torn mask, beat up classic Spidey.

We got the Danvers release but still not WWBN. Those 2 packs of Champion-Magus and Triton-Black Bolt and the Super Skrull deluxe could come around the FF release time. I seem like the only one hoping we get that battle damaged Spidey, hahaha.
As far as the stuff in that Nov story from Displaying Model Behaviour like the Strong Guy, X-Factor 2-Pack and such I have not seen anything myself for those. Doesn't mean they aren't coming, just that I haven't seen anything myself for it at this time. The Battle Damage Spider-Man DMB mentioned back in August might be theSpider-Man 3 Tobey Black Costume Spider-Man figure because I believe that has battle damage on it.
Looking at the stuff DMB told us about in Aug (https://marvelousnews.com/252-35710) I have more recently seen some updates on the Marvel Vs Capcom stuff which from what I have seen technically won't be under a Marvel vs Capcom banner but the Gamerverse banner. But from what I have seen the figures he listed do seem legit though maybe Shuma-Gorath won't be named Shuma-Gorath.

As far as I know. I will say originally that X-Men wave was supposed to be released in the first half of 2025 and more recently I have seen some indications it might have been pushed to the second half of 2025 and with all these things its always possible changes can happen which is why we do stress the treating these as rumor until officially confirmed by Hasbro.

QuoteFinally for Hasbro's Gamerverse Spider-Man 2 Wave I have seen listings for Black Cat and 5 variant Spider-Man costume figures. One is a black suit Peter, one I think is the Brooklyn 2099 Suit (Miles) and another is Boricua Suit (Miles). Sorry I couldn't identify the other two suits from the game.Also for the Gamerverse line I saw a listing for a 10.5" tall Venom Mega Deluxe figure.
Forgot to mention in my last post, but I think this Kingpin might be the highlight of the wave. Even as someone who doesn't collect gamerverse or MCU figures, I'm considering grabbing this one. For some reason, I think he'd like great on the shelf alongside Spidey's other villains.

I think the "super deluxe" venom they're trying to push looks great with a better articulation scheme than all the other figures in the wave ironic. Regardless I think it looks great, legs are long but the game design was kinda wonky with proportions so I can let it slide. And I am satisfied w/ how the symbiote spidey looks and the Puerto Rico variant miles, and ik this for sure is not everyone's cup of tea but Im digging it and I am surprised by all the new molds from Hasbro today, could never find a comic wave with this much new sculpt (well, the last one kinda did haha). And the warpath looks fine to me, I am here for that any day any week, GIMME.
While I am old, I did play these games, and play video games pretty often. I got a few of the gamerverse Spideys for their baf parts. While they are cool figures, I just don't DO anything with them. They sit in a bin. Idk, I feel like I "played" with these looks already, I'm good. Thats generally what leads to my disinterest in all video game figures. And I do get a little miffed at all the retooling, especially for ones that don't have any real reuse. They claim it's hard and expensive, but do it for skins and not for Moon Knight or Daredevil? Really? They do really look cool, and if I was Puerto Rican nothing could keep me from that Miles with the flag. Happy for anyone that is excited for these, although I do think KP should have been the baf. Probably has to do with all the retooling.
And yes, I like that new Warpath too. Actually looking forward to that 2 pack, and happy it's 50 bucks. Dwight scared me with all that "higher pricepoint" talk, hahaha.
