Yeah I just don’t understand why they pushed so hard with this Gamerverse wave. They basically just did a skins pack. Sad thing is most of this is original sculpt. I guess is the absence of MCU product and the complete missed opportunity to make the most out of the W&DP possibilities they just decided they needed another massive gamble so they can restock discount store shelves. There’s a few cool looking figures but my prediction is this stuff is going to rot on the pegs. I think I’m going to get the Kingpin though. I really like the head sculpt. It looks more like the comic than the actual comic version.

All right Hasbro. When you get around to doing the Gamerverse figures everyone actually wants please give me a call. To be clear it’s MvsC we all want. And save all the licensing mumbo jumbo. We already all know. But if they could somehow find a way to make it happen it would be infinitely more profitable than this crap. Even if they just use their own characters. Like the Not Capcom Cable and Not Capcom Marrow. But that aside what kind of clowns did they have drawing up contracts in those days? Can’t get Spidey back. Can’t use your own characters if they’re in a certain video game. At least DC was smart enough to keep all their suff under the same umbrella.

Ok circling back to this, does anyone else see the amazing fantasy spidey mold in the MilesBoricua Suit? Cuz I thought his general shape looked very similar and doing a side by side the legs looked identical and the rest of the body looked modified in a way. Now that is reuse, I can live with.

So, I can stick with the too-tall Kingpin I currently have that stands a little under 8″ tall or I can get this new too-tall Kingpin based on the Mr. Fixit body that would put him a little over 8″ tall. Face looks pretty good, but no thank you.

My exact sentiments, the face sculpts look fantastic far better than their previous releases of Kingpin. Honestly, I am satisfied with the retro-carded one even though it has weak articulation (fat-muscle guy in 3 piece suit). So easy pass, might have to circle back on the secondary market for the head sculpts though.

While it’s surely good to get new figures from Games, it’s been more than a year since the release of the game and momentum is not gone but game isn’t as hot as it was, especially when there’s no additional DLC to make game relevant. It would have been best to release these figures in the summer 2024.

As for figures, Spirit Spider’s new torso looks awful, it’s mostly due to underdeveloped tiny shoulders, if they used Og bucky cap mold it would have looks way better and closer to the game.

Kingpin looks great but it’s pretty clear that proportions of the figure are far cry from the realistic game style.

I genuinely think everything they showed for the spider verse game besides the black cat, symbiote Spidey, Boricua Suit, and wonky venom looks like trash and it is obs where the budget went and honestly, I am not upset as I will pass up on those figures in the wave.

Yeah I think he caught himself halfway through the word because his actually wording when he was done was that it was “an Omega Red scale” body mold. I remember it vividly because I remember thinking what does that even mean. But I’m glad it is the Retro Venom model because not only does it have superior articulation but they did something to the legs to make it a tad bit taller and they somehow look a little more muscular. Not a bad deal. But I wish they could somehow figure out a way to redo the Liefeld Era Warpath on that model because even though the official stats show WP to be shorter than Colossus the Liefeld version was clearly taller.

I would just buy more Liefeld-based designs, I’m desperate for an accurate Liefeld Cable. Also, I agree I am happy Hasbro did not super cheap out and just go with the Omega red mold and do a basic rehash of their last warpath release.

I’m not going to say I’m shocked reading these comments as I feel we are more so the “older crowd” (pure speculation off of general comment reading, well, and it’s a “news forum”), but I gotta say I like these reveals. 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.

Uhhhhh yeah that Kingpin is going to be way to big… that’s disappointing

Kingpin looks great but it’s pretty clear that proportions of the figure are far cry from the realistic game style. Anti Venom Spidey is just a lame figure all around although I do agree that paint scheme is kinda interesting. Now when it comes to Miles figures they all see pretty solid, even Boricua figure is really good looking one even though it clearly a kitbashed figure in nutshell. Now Symbiote Spidey is the figure they put the most effort into, proportions and sculpt are all there, sadly I can’t say the same about Venom who seems to be partially well made and partially lacking in sculpt and detail, foremost it’s his unnecessarily long lower legs and underdeveloped calf muscles that really make Venom seem skinny, his face portraits also seem like lacking necessary detail, they are close approximations but don’t capture him fully.

At last, a live stream where none of the figures interest me! My wallet is safe!

That is a great looking Kingpin
