Love the discussion about Wolverine's origins... I can't remember where I read it but I remember being FASCINATED by an interview with the creative team about his development and how VERY weird he could have been. IIRC for a little while he was a vampire, too.

My first thought on the gamerverse Wolverine's claws was that they were way, way too big anatomically but this entire figure is a huge exaggeration of everything about him, so it works. In this one case. Although I have X-Force and Secret Wars wolverines right in front of me and their claws are also longer than his forearms. Rule of cool I guess. Wolverine lies about how long eight inches are just like everyone else?

If my memory serves, I remember back in the early to mid 90’s when Marvel authorized one of their official Handbooks, along with some of the trading cards that were published at the time, it was suggested that the official stats of Wolverine’s claw length was around 17” in length. As a 5ft 3” individual, the length of his forearms would have been around this size. As a point of reference, I’m 6 ft 2” and my forearms are just over 21”

This is where I'm at as well. I was going to snag it, but not at that price. I've got the Mafex Punisher ordered and don't need that Nick. Now that I think about it, even if it's not the higher price I should probably pass on it.

Initially, I was really excited about this set and planned to get a couple. I really don't like what they did with the leg holster on Punisher (why not just use the existing one with pouches that achieves the same thing without just painting a random area of the leg white?) and a proper black version with white boots and gloves feels inevitable at this point. I'd also like for them to do a more modern version borrowing a lot from the new Shield 3 pack bodies...
 
Sort of a left-field question, but I'm thinking of picking up the RYV Spidey since I've got enough Amazon credit now to basically make the 2-pack a little cheaper than a single card. We haven't had any leaks pointing to another, brighter colored basic Spidey on the horizon have we (Secret Wars or Gamerverse?)? I'm just not that big a fan of the McFarlane look or I'd go for the Maximum. The RYV seems like a nice midpoint between my preferred versions.

They've made a lot of basic spidey over the years but I refuse to get some of them because they don't come with a full compliment of hands and that's just my bottom line for that character and I think RYV and Maximum are the only ones in recent memory that do.
 
The other option is the Amazing Friends 2 Pack Spider-Man. Full compliment of hands and a decent representation of a classic Spider-Man. Just a more expensive option with 2 other figures you won't want...

I love the RYV Spidey. He’s the character representation in my display. Best one they’ve done, IMHO.

Same. I even put him & Spinneret in poses from Robo's review, lol. Though, because he doesn't have a ball hinge in his neck, I had to pop the head off & sticky tack it on, to get him to look up (I think Robo had to do the same cheat, too). Just don't look at it from the side, lol.

Yeah, even more pricey than the RYV version. I'd go for it otherwise. Sounds like no info on other incoming Spiders-men so I'll probably pick up the RYV one with my next paycheck.
 
There is the rumored Secret Wars Wave 2 Spider-Man. This would likely be the blue/red Spider-Man on the AF15 body. Hopefully with a new Romita Sr styled head sculpt. I'd need several.
 
Rassmfrassm summbeoch. Got my Marvel Ulimited figure today and as soon as I saw the box, I feared (rightly so) the worst. Open it up and got last years Knight Spider instead of this years Spider-Woman. $#!+!! I've emailed them with a picture and we shall see what they do. I asked them to send me the correct one and a return label and all should be good.
 
If you get to keep the Spidey-Knight and don't want it, that's a cool design I wouldn't mind on my shelf. :)
 
Yeah... I have a friend who subsribes to Unlimited but doesn't collect figures so he has been hooking me up, but last year he thought the Spider Knight was too cool to part with... So I don't have it and i would like it. Hopefully he won't feel the same about this Spider- Woman 😁
 
They are "looking into it". Hopefully this gets resolved soon. If they let me keep it, Knight Spider will go on the shelf, I just don't want him as much as Spider-Woman. The coolest thing in the membership kit is the Skottie Young Ghost Rider enamal pin.
