Looking like Ezio from Assassin's Creed no doubt. I had a major senior "wtf is going on" moment when I realized it was Gambit dressed as Moon Knight. I swear these developers in Asia are more concerned with turning Marvel characters into something more anime-accessible than vice versa. At least Daredevil looked SOMEWHAT like Daredevil.

I tried that game when it first debuted thinking I'd be playing as all my favorite characters. I basically had to play as Storm (can loiter near the ceiling being hard to kill) and Venom (basically just f-shizz up) just to stay alive. Apparently Iron Fist can fly to some degree and kill you before you know what's going on..."just like in the comics!"
 
I've never met a Wolverine variation I won't at least consider picking up, but if these end up impossible to get or overpriced I'll honestly feel like it's just saving me money. I didn't even know what Kith was til this announcement, but I'm someone who never quite outgrew the mixture of grunge/goth I wore when I was younger so streetwear is an alien concept to me.

The bragging rights convo makes me laugh though because I interviewed with a tech startup YEARS ago that was trying to build an app that let you show off your collections - sort of a social media platform combined with a filing system. They really pushed it for young male shoe collectors specifically (and Funko Pops). First I'd heard that people actively collected sneakers they didn't plan on wearing. When I interviewed I thought it could be interesting for something like gaming miniatures or whatever since I was too broke at the time for action figures, Marvel Legends weren't even a glimmer in my eye. They had screens all over the office showing off how many active users they had at any moment but they were STRUGGLING to make inroads into the collector communities. Anyway, the site went under and everyone I interviewed with ended up having to go into completely new industries.
 
Have you ever seen videos of shoes that don't get worn?

When you don't wear them, something happens to the materials in the shoe, and you can just crush it in your hand like a slice of cake. I never would have known that if not for the shoe heads.
 
Didn't Hot Toys once say, their materials were degrading because people were keeping the figures in the box? They needed to to breath. Less trapped air and humidity, I guess.

Yeah...I've never given a crap about designer stuff, and the idea of wearing a clothing company's logo for prestige is just a concept I can't wrap my head around.

The concept of collecting shoes to never wear was not even on my radar until a few years ago, and I really don't get it. Then again, I don't understand in-box collecting either...the idea of buying something to never use it just baffles me. My best friend's girlfriend collects Lego sets, and never takes them out of the box. I get it can be an investment thing, but it seems like a waste to never enjoy the thing you're collecting.

This makes me even more baffled at the concept of collecting them. If they crumble if they don't get worn, then why would you amass a collection of them? "Here's my collection of debris that used to be shoes! This pile of scraps used to be a sleek pair of first generation Air Jordans"!
