Title: The Amazing Spider-Man: The Toys
Post by: Brian on July 20, 2011, 11:39 AM
USA Today (http://www.usatoday.com/life/comics/2011-07-19-First-Amazing-Spider-Man-movie-figure-swings-into-Comic-Con_n.htm) has a preview up of the first figures from the Amazing Spider-Man (movie).  I guess it will be on display at SDCC, possibly at preview night tonight.

I hope we get some comic accurate villians in the line.

I still have yet to get a Marvel U Spiderman.  Looks like I might hold out for these - not too shabby.

From the looks of the Toy Fair pics, the movie line seems to be pretty similar to the current Spidey line (maybe it is replacing it, I don't know).  They seem to have both comic and movie figures, but overall it looked to be various versions of Spidey, and a couple Lizards.  I know I'm in for some figures, at least the best version of Spidey and the Lizard - and anyone else they might make (Gwen? Capt. Stacy?).

Spotted these at Target today for $9.99 a pop (explains the outrageous "clearance" prices we've been seeing at least). About the same as the Avengers figures, articulation wise, although on some figures they cheaped out and only gave them HINGED joints. Totally unacceptable in the year 2012, especially for that price. The best figures were the SA movie Spider-Man and the comic Green Goblin, both of which I almost picked up, but didn't due to the insane price. There's apparently a Doc Ock that looked cool, but they didn't have him in stock.

Wal-Marts in my area put these out about a week ago... they don't seem to be moving.  They are $7.47 there.

I picked up the Doc Oc from this line last night.

I've seen a little bit of this line so far.  It seems to be bumping the Avengers line a little bit further back in the toy aisle.  Which seems odd, since there's been such an immensely positive response to Avengers at the box office.

Finally saw the Lizard from this wave. Look like the aliens in V. No labcoat. Easy pass, though I may pick up an ultra poseable movie costume Spidey.

Went looking for the 6 inch Avengers and found these, picked up posable Spidey and the terrible T-crotch that is the Lizard.

I've seen probably over 100 of the new Spider Man figures this week... about a dozen combined of Green Goblin and Doc Octopus... none of that Lizard though.

I saw some of these for the first time today - Dayum! If you thought the Avengers' figs were bad, wait til you see these. Very disappointed.

I actually checked around for these in town today (and Joe stuff), but didn't see anything.  Our WM had some of the role play and pop up transformer type stuff, but not the regular figures.  I know this isn't necessarily a line people are super excited about, but I'm pretty psyched for the movie and would like to at least pick up the super poseable Spidey and hopefully a Lizard, if they are well done.  Of course, I saw pics over at MarvelousNews of some 6" figures (probably at WM), similar to the Avengers line, which look better too.

^ cosign.

I passed on all of them.  They are bad, and $10 at Target and $11.50 at TRU to boot.

There's a couple I'd consider at $5 clearances like Goblin and Ock.

Saw them tonight at a Walmart that had just completed their reset...only $7.47 there. No Doc Ocks but I did see a lab coat-less and thus source-inaccurate Lizard which I have no interest in.

saw a couple of cases of these now - I guess all of my stores in my area are getting the cases with no Ultra Articulated Spiderman or Lizard.  I am only kind of interested in the articulated Spiderman

I saw the SA Spidey at Walmart today...yuck

Ok, I guess all I had been seeing were new comic/animated looking stuff, but yesterday at Target, they had movie/realistic looking figures... $9.99 is ridiculous, but I saw a Lizard and bought him.  Seriously awesome sculpt... I bought it for a custom Noghri or Barabel from Star Wars.

I was checking stores for the Spidey stuff today, and Target is the only one in our area that had the actual figures out.  I picked up the Ultra Poseable Spidey and the Lizard.  I don't recall seeing any of the other villains (the comic Ock, Goblin, or Venom), and the rest were different versions of Spideys (most, if not all, movie).  Also grabbed the SHS pack with Gwen Stacy in it - now if we could only get a 3 3/4" or 6" version of the character.

I just got the Lizard and super-articulated Spider-Man from a fellow collector.

Yeah, I was not liking it.  The soles of the boots looked like sneaker treads, or like he was using webbing to make his feet stick to surfaces.  This line will be a VERY easy pass for me. 

I'm just kind of miffed that shelf space that this line is using might be better used for Star Wars or the Avengers line.

These are hitting more stores in my area, though oddly enough none of them are getting cases of the movie figures.

Stopped by a TRU and took advantage of their BOGO sale to snag a Goblin and Doc Ock, then found a Venom at Wal-Mart on the way home.

Saw these today for the first time including Ock, Goblin and Venom.  Price is $10.74 at Wallyworld.

I saw these at a couple WMs at all the Targets this weekend too (after first spotting them at Target last week).  At least here, it seems like WM has the "comic" wave, and Target has the movie stuff.  I haven't seen Ock, Goblin, or Venom at Target at all - and I haven't seen the Lizard, Superposeable Spidey, etc. at WM at all.  Might just be a coincidence, or its too early to tell.

It is the exact opposite for me.

Saw the Lizard this morning and almost grabbed him - was thinking about getting just the two Movie Series figures - Super Poseable Spiderman and Lizard, but decided against it. Probably going to regret it later, but oh well...

Part of the deciding factor was being on the phone with a collector contact who was in at Disney Studios trying to score me a couple more droids and learning that the cost of every two droids I want made just went up by $5.  :-X
Title: Re: The Amazing Spider-Man: The Toys
Post by: Brian on June 5, 2012, 08:55 PM
I was somewhat surprised, checking our local Target that had stocked these last week, and they had sold through the basic figures down to just four remaining.  At $10 a pop, I thought that was a little surprising.  The store was restocked again today though.

Caved and snagged the SA Spidey today at Target. At least I'm finished with this line unless they start making more comic villains

Post by: evenflow on September 6, 2012, 09:21 AM
Found the Walmart wave this morning with movie spidey, lizard, and miles. Looked like a 3 2 1 case with Lizard being the short pack. Picked up Lizard just for the extra mini lizards and Miles.

Hasbro isn't just clueless with it's "realistic" collection offerings.  I have been buying my son the Marvel Superhero Adventures packs.  They have a really nice array of Spidey villains, but it seems like they all come with one villain, one Spidey, and all the Spideys are the same!  I don't need an army of them!  At least offer Spidey in some sort of alternative outfit or something.

Woah, that's a cool set with two hard to find villain figures. Would have been better with the comic Lizard (or the Canadian exclusive Shocker) instead of Hobgoblin but I'll take it. Will this be sold in stores?

Just note all of the characters in this set are cast in a clear plastic or whatever you call it.  And it says this is online only
