Re-releases of the Walgreens Moon Knight and the AF15 Spider-Man.  Anyone see differences from the originals?

Is this Moon Knight really necessary?   I feel like I've bought a lot of Moon Knight figures in the last handful of years and I feel like this one might be redundant.    I know with the Spider-Man someone here was just asking for the figure with the blue spider on his back, so at least that one was asked for, I guess.

 

These Target exclusives might be skippable for me.

I think the spider on the back of original AF15 Spidey was black, not blue.

EDIT: PC beat me to it!

Target has an upcoming toy event mid-September. These are probably part of that.

I kinda want that Moon Knight, since I never got the Walgreens one, cause I could never find it anywhere.

Honestly, I think this is terrific. Some people like to complain about Hasbro being lazy when they do very similar rereleases like this, but I think it's a great idea. I've always been a big advocate for it. There's always gonna be new collectors that missed out or even just releases that skipped people by.

I already have the First Appearance Spider-Man, but I've kinda been tempted to pick up another since I really do just love it as a figure. However, the insane aftermarket prices made that hard to do. Now? I can just pick this up!

I missed out on the Walgreens Moon Knight and kinda wish I didn't. Now I have a second chance!

Don't have access to my figures at the moment - is there any deco difference in Moon Knight? Not an in card collector, but he's one of my favorite characters, so thinking about picking him up and keeping MOC.

I guess these will fill a niche since the originals go for $50 dollars now, but so do a lot of other figures.  

They REALLY should have at least made changes to the Moon Knight figure.  That buck is a joke for him.

 

So many other things with no tooling could have been done.  These will rot on the pegs eventually just like the Gambit and Rogue did forever.  I think the Gambit is still available online at Target, and now there will be yet ANOTHER Gambit and Rogue in the same style released on a retro card.  At least those all had different deco I guess.

Where are things like Shield agent or Hellfire club goons if you are going to do a straight re-release? 🤔

On what panel in which issue was Spider-Man's spider miscolored blue?  I'm guessing it must have happened at some time.

It's not a miscolor, it's the original color, as seen throughout AF#15. I don't remember if it already changed by the time ASM#1 came out, or if it changed at some point during that title.

I love this body for Spider-Man, I love the red and black, and I like the added touch of the super retro blue spider on his back, so I'll get this one.

Happy for the ones that weren't able to pick up the Walgreens exclusive. Happy for me as I never picked up AF15.
