I've been sitting on an order of Mafex Tobey Spidey, brown costume Wolverine, and AY Agent Venom since July-ish. I'm hoping it won't be as bad as all that, but I just don't want to eat the extra costs. When Iceman releases I'll probably bite the bullet. What a fuckin' joke.

Yeah, I suppose I'd take him...

Your list is spot on. I'd add Spiderling (terrible name) to go with Spinneret, Spider-Ben and Petey, and then whatever other goodness they come up with from the Spider-Verse animated movies - but after that I'd call it good. The comic Spider-Verse stuff was fun (and ridiculous) but eventually...

Assassin and Last Stand both make appearances in the first or second Spider-Verse stories, so they should work here. And yeah, House of M, Iron Spider, etc definitely have other, more important associations. docsilence also reminded me that Captain Universe Spider-Man should go on your list!

We have Spider-Man UK already from the Sandman BAF wave. And I do think Spinneret appeared in Spider-Verse 1 or 2. I haven't kept up with anything past the second Spider-Verse event as that was plenty for me. Sony/PS4 Spider-Man Assassin Spider-Man aka Spider-Shot Ghost Spider Last Stand...

Odin is one of the best things they put out in 2025 - I hope the lesson they learned is "make more Asgardians"!

Yeah, I figured as much. No big deal - the good thing about being so many years into buying this stuff is knowing there are plenty of second chances on most things if you're patient. I'm sure I'll pick her up some way or another eventually!

Looking for the Target exclusive Outback Storm if anybody is still seeing her around!

Has Outback Storm come and gone at Target? I held off on preordering cause I was in a no-buy period, and it looks like I might have missed the boat completely. Anybody still seeing her in stores?

If they are set on making 90s versions of the Avengers A-team, these feels like a perfect list of companions to pack them in with. "Hostage pack", I know, but the reality is that Deathry and Cybermancer aren't going to be big movers on their own, and I'd rather have them some way than not at all.

This is honestly how I feel about some other higher-end brands in general. Mezco Dr. Doom was what, $150? Loaded with accessories for sure, but I'd be happier losing several of the extras and paying $100 for a fantastic, iconic Dr. Doom. I like the *idea* of a premium subline within ML - there...

Looks like a balljoint waist on Hulk. Happy to see that, at least!

This continues to confuse me about how Hasbro operates. If they are planning to make a few more costumes from this era (as is rumored with Scarlet Witch/Vision) why not at least announce it closer to the release of this set? I get spreading out the super popular teams/looks that you know people...

I like that Deadpool doesn't even rank in people's recollection of the Max line. As probably he shouldn't given the lackluster execution. Spidey is great but not sure he's worth the Max price, I have Hulk but haven't opened him yet, and I didn't bother with Deadpool. Thor is the first one that...

Hasbro's practices around 2-packs is not great, but it's a stretch to call this anything like a hostage pack. It's two Avengers from the same era wearing complementary looks, and Black Widow is way more popular and in demand than Quicksilver in general - and personally, I haven't seen any great...
