I think I saw every episode of the Spider-Man cartoon and have zero recollection of a Cyborg Spider-Man. Is this just based on a figure from the vintage line (which was based on the cartoon)? Anyway, it's okay but not something I'll be getting unless there's a significance I'm missing here. It's from.the revenge of the Sinister 6 storyline in the 90s. He appears on the cover of an issue alongside Solo like this. I looked up the original figure and the comic, and along the way I saw other figures, customs, and some cosplay and video game shots. I'm kinda dumbfounded and embarrassed that I had zero knowledge of this before because I'm a Spider-Man AND '90s fan. haha Cyborg Spider-Man definitely has a following.

Just a heads up. Today Amazon has some Legends discounted. I think some have sold out, but I just saw the Magento/Professor X movie 2-pack is 35. Old Man Logan and Hawkeye is the same price. Retro Peter Parker is 14. Klaw and Shuri is 24. Sunspot is 14. They had the Nimrod 3-pack discounted but it's gone. Bummer on that one for sure as I would have been all over it.

I love that story (so many dragged into it LOL) But even back in the 90s I bought this figure. It was a in a killer wave with Black Cat, Dr Strange, Spidey 2099 & the Vault Guardsman I believe. Belter!!

GameStop has the re-release of the Scarlet Witch/Vision 2-pack up for order for $39.99. I ended up getting one since I missed out on it since I never found it in any of my local TRUs before they shut down.

Belter!! For as much as I loved the X-Men line, the Spider-Man line really had a ton of great figures and more than the X-Men overall. X-Men was too focused on action features, probably too influenced by MOTU and the like, and Spider-Man himself suffered from it, too, but we got some really excellent versions of other characters, many just regular figures with no feature to mess up the articulation or look.

I can't find anything new anywhere. No venomized cap, no venom set, only the cap from the new gamerverse set. All my stores are loaded with widow rejects (looking hard at you red guardian) and those xmen 2 packs

The lady in toys says someone came and bought all but 3

It's never been too easy to find figures, but these days it seems even tougher. It takes a lot more trips to different stores. I swear most who are buying are buying to resell online, but I could be wrong.
Anyway, today I bought a Secret War Captain America from a local shop. I don't go often but I buy something to support them when I do. Never was a figure I wanted but it was cool enough and worth the 20 they were asking. Plus it's Cap.

Of all the times to have an action figure boom, it comes when the toy store is dead, there is a pandemic and only 2 retailers in the US that sells them.

What timing. :/ And good point on the few retailers. That definitely adds to it, because it sure doesn't seem like the same amount of product is out there distributed among just the two retailers. They seem to get the same amount they've always received. Fewer retailers meant manufacturing fewer I think. Online has increased some, but that's taken by the whole country (or globe), so it's hit or miss, too.

I think they are manufacturing fewer units too. Toys R Us was Hasbro and Mattel's biggest buyer and now we know they are literally irreplaceable.

I find more figs at Walgreens, fye, and gamestop than target or walmart anymore. Bad thing is they usually arent new. But at least there is something to look through.

Anyone who ordered Venomized Cap from Walmart, check your order history. I saw on another site someone saying theirs is showing shipped despite no email. I checked mine and sure enough, no email, still says delayed but it says it shipped this morning with a FedEx tracking number.

Did Jameson already come and go from Amazon? If not, when do preorders for Marvel figures go up on Amazon after Hasbro Pulse? Thanks
