Spider-Man Related Heroes and Allies Poll: Vote For Your Top Four Most Wanted Figures

Like having collectible "Owen and Beru Lars" charred skeletons for your Star Wars display.

Would buy, along with funeral pyre smoking Vader.

Thats what makes a collector line so frustrating - the highly disparate array of opinion on what is important.

The last thing I ever need in this line is another Mary Jane. I have plenty already, too many really. So the idea that another version of Mary Jane is the top of some wishlists instead of super fun super villains like Swarm and Stegron is baffling to me. But that is legitimately someone's most wanted, so its not less inportant than my desire for The Spot or Calypso or Carrion... and Hasbro can't please us both since our wants don't fit in a single venn diagram.

Definitely for long running lines that have already had many releases related to a character such as is the case for Spidey. An honest assessment of what we have gotten for Spidey already shows it has covered almost all of his best known characters - so now we are picking between the lesser known and for that reason there is less consensus. If we went back to when the line started, I doubt any of these options for either Spidey poll would have even made the top-20 for desired Spidey related figures. Maybe Aunt May, barely. Maybe Madame Web. But I doubt it.

Compare that to an initial top-10 for Thor, I suspect some characters like the Warriors Three, Balder would have made the top-10, and almost certainly a top-20, and still haven't been made. Of course Spidey is a bigger name than Thor, but it does show the imbalance.

This is specifically a Spiderman Heroes and Allies poll, not villains and foes, not any character from the Spiderman universe.

The choices and results would be very different if it were either of the latter.

Oh, thats totally fair I. I suppose that list would have to skew civilian centric if we aren't including villains - though I still have very, very little interest in a collection of people in street clothes.

So for this one the Swingers characters or costumes are my top choices.

For me, I don't feel like the definitive Aunt May or Mary Jane have been made in the line, and they are critical characters to Spidey's cast. I'm okay with the MJ I have, but I still would prefer to have a Romita Sr. rendition of her. If they did that I'd never need another version of her. Same goes for Aunt May, in that we have an animated version of her, but that is so far from what I want that I didn't bother to pick up the figure (if I'd been able to score one of Benty's classic headsculpts of her I would have bit).

That doesn't mean I don't want Stegron or Swarm more though...Spidey villains are almost always going to take precedence for me over his allies.

This is my issue. And they're both so easy.
