I'm definitely getting that Iron Spider MJ but would it kill Hasbro to add reverse ab crunch especially when it's premium 40 dollar price (almost 56 dollars for EU), regular MJ doesn't need it for sure but Spider MJ will fee incredibly limited without proper crunch. And I really doubt that MTG card is somehow makes up for that value.

It doesnt seem to matter to Hasbro whether the box art matches the figure inside. Another example: X-Factor Jean Greys packaging art had her yellow boots, while the actual figure did not.

Capitalize on that Fantastic Four movement, maybe. What about the Frightful Four? I can see a great job with Sandman's green chem armored suit.
Or, if they had to just stay with two, what about Marrina and Martinex (using Crystar's buck), help finish out some of these unfinished teams??
And they could use that body for Prism as well!

On to that Mysterio, well that's a thing of beauty, what a great Mysterio, I have no reason to get it though, but it does look very nice, I'm still fine over here with my Lizard wave Mysterio.
Strong Guy, sure fine and cool for those who never built the BAF, so as someone who did I don't need this which is cool beacause I don't like the Head sculpts as much on this one, the BAF's was better.
Biggest takeaway here was Why did I think they'd finally give us Marrina? Stupid me. Who was the one who started that hope train?

Preternia retweeted someone from the Con saying the Barbell isn't that well made. It's very floppy.

And speaking of....the Strong Guy looks like a must for me. Just really, Really salty about buying some of my least wanted figures for that baf. Literally only wanted Warpath and Black Tom. Didn't really want that outfit for Sunspot, but was OK with a place holder. Didn't even a little want either DP in that set and am not a fan of Maverick, although he turned out to be a really nice figure. I'm not sure about two Guidos with one not being the detective agency look. He looks like a huge upgrade though, and that dumbell looks fun too.
Got me too, I want the Mysterio to keep on card and like the updates on Guido. Got to say this year has to be the most updates to existing figures. Not a lot of new characters put on my shelves this year, just swapping out older figures for newer ones. And I do like updates to figures, just not buying the same character over for minimal paint apps or such. But here I am, going to get both.
