Was this version of Chameleon ever in the comics? I know some of the animated designs made it over, but I don't think Chameleon did.

I don't think so. This one is pretty specific to the cartoon. The mask accessory can be donated to the old suited Chameleon though.
This wave LOOKS incredible together. What a nice variety of colors. Electro's new parts look great and I do enjoy her expression (really want to call her Electra). Spider-Boy is cool looking. The love on Kaine and Unlimited is apparent and appreciated, and makes these figures appealing even though I know nothing about the characters. Chameleon looks fun and as I sold off the very boring original figure, fills a hole. Agent Venom I will likely resell and keep the unmasked face. Quasar's getting an upgrade! 🙂
We are a Spidercide away from being able to create that old Toy Biz Maximum Clonage set (Jackal is in a different suit, and Ben would be a kitbash - but doable!)
The wave looks great and I'll definitely pick up a few at discount, but along with Kaine I'd rather have the incorrectly rumored Princess Python, Hypno-Hustler and Slyde.
Also, are we ever gonna get another Spider-Man BAF wave?
I wonder if there was any truth to that Hypno Hustler/Princess Python/Slyde rumour. ‘Cos it would make a bitchin’ boxset if Hasbro feels like it. Chuck in a Spot too, if you like.
I'll join the chorus of saying this wave looks great and I'm probably buying all of it, but I wish there were some more classic characters in the lineup.
- Kaine is definitely the star.
- Agent Venom is a great update, but I have the incredible Amazing Yamaguchi figure (actually a KO, with the legit reissue preordered). He looks like a solid ML figure version though.
- Chameleon is well executed. I've been resisting the urge to build a Spider-Man: TAS collection, but I love everything they've made. My will is weakening.
- Spider-Man Unlimited, Spider-Boy, and Electro are all homework for me - not in a bad way. I like having a reason to read books or watch shows I've never gotten around to.
A fine but not the most exciting wave. Definitely would have appreciated a lesser tier pre-90s villain of some sort. This is more of an "okay, I'll get that" wave, lacking a "woohoo, I wanted that."
This was a pretty balanced wave -- three '90s figures and three more modern ones. I'm eh on the modern ones, but think the female Electro is a cool design.
I'm most excited about Kaine and Chameleon myself. Spider-Man Unlimited is technically '90s, but came out in my dead period for comics and general nerdom (nerddom?) when I was trying to be cool in middle school and high school.
I do agree that there needs to be an avenue for more classic Spidey villains. They've already done all the big ones, but there are still a lot of B-listers. I guess this multi-pack from 2022 hit four at once, but it's been a few years and we need some classic ones. I personally want to see Swarm and Carrion, but would love for the rumored wave to be happening. It would weird for it to just be outright made-up lie. I don't think that's happened in a while.
I expect to pre-order this whole wave. Spider-Boy is definitely my favorite, followed by female Electro. Spider-Man Unlimited is the one that I like the least, but will probably still get him.
Might get Agent Venom. I have a custom that's satisfactory. The lack of tendrils is an oversight.
Everything else is a hard pass.
Kaine being old enough to be considered retro is causing me deep, soul-crushing pain..!
I'm always asking for more gender diversity on the Spider-Man villains shelf. I have no connection to Max Dillon as a character, so Francine Frye might just become my main display Electro.
I bet Agent Venom will sell like hotcakes. It's hard to come up with a bigger slam dunk than "Special Forces Venom."
In for Kaine, and maybe Agent Venom. I might pick up Spider Boy or Unlimited Spidey if I find them in the wild, but neither are essential for me.
When do these go up for preorder?
