I pray to God that Spidey 4 introduces Felicia Hardy and she's like how she is in the animated series. In the comics she's literally just a lazy Catwoman clone. 

I try very hard to overlook this, but all the sexy J Scott Campbell variant covers in the world can't help the fact that this is true.

After the No Way Home figures showed up on the Target site I saw all three of the Spideys in every store locally and available for shipping.  I still see Tom and Tobey at all of my local stores and still available for shipping, but Andrew supposedly sold out at every local store and online for shipping.  He disappeared online the same day they listed him later that night.

There's no way I believe that's right.  Andrew really sold out everywhere, but the other two didn't?  So he's the most popular of the three by leaps and bounds?  🙄 I'm far more apt to believe that this is Target's millionth inventory screw-up of the year than that Andrew outsold the other two by that much within hours of being listed.

 

Seems like this got corrected at Target this morning--he popped back up for shipping and magically showed as being in stock at 5 local stores this morning that were out of stock yesterday.  Often that's a blink-and-you'll-miss-it thing on Target's web site, but he's been available for shipping for over an hour now.  He's sold out in most places so this may be the only current place to get an Andrew.

I think a live action Black Cat/Felicia is my biggest want from the live action Spidey stuff. I hope she mainly shows up in the MCU proper and not Sony. And I also hope she is like her cartoon counterpart. You can never go wrong with basing a live action Marvel character off a 90s cartoon lol. 

For me Spider-Man's Scooby gang is just as important as his villians. Spectacular Spider-Man the cartoon did a good job of understanding this as well as the MCU to an extent. With that said I'd also hope we get at least an unmasked Felicia but I'd take a civilian version too. I know she's not exactly a Scooby per se. So I'd like to see  Betty and Flash evolve enough as core characters that they get figures too. Of course there's still the giant hole in this NWH collection that is Aunt May. Throw in a future Harry and I'll be so happy. 

I have said since Homecoming that Tom's Spider-Man will give us 9 films, 3 High School, 3 College and 3 Adult and I still stand by that. So there's plenty of time to get those characters to the shelf. Except Aunt May her time is running short, tear.

The three college films seem like a longshot now that Doctor Strange wiped all evidence that Peter Parker exists out of the main MCU universe.

Well, people don't remember him but he does actually exist. He can form new friendships and enroll in college courses, I assume. I'm writing it off as 'eh... movies', but somehow he was able to obtain ID and open a bank account then get an apartment.

It's a weird movie-logic grey area but the guy doesn't have to ONLY be Spider-Man in the next movie.

I'd love to see them finally follow through on their Scorpion tease from Homecoming. Might prove tricky now that everyone forgot that Peter is Spidey, but I'm sure they can figure something out. We're running out of classic Spidey villains that have never been adapted to live-action. Black Cat could be fun too, and a nice foil for MJ- he keeps trying to win her back and have her remember, only for a sultry new cat burglar to come on the scene.

I know moving forward they're likely to bring in Kingpin and maybe even Tom's Venom or any of the other Fox Spidey villains, but I hope they keep doing their own thing too, even if it means giving us multiverse versions of the Fox villains. Don't need to the really good MCU Spidey flicks associated with those in any way.

A couple of "I wonders" about Doc Ock:

It looks like those are bendy tentacles, I wonder if that's true.

I wonder if those glasses come off.

I think I'm going to be down for Doc Ock, I have the SM2 version, but it doesn't impress me much.  His bottom 2 arms are stiff and immobile because of some action gimmick, the top arms just flop around and do nothing.  I bought him second hand so he has no glasses.  He can be replaced.

I remember being confused about whether or not Strange wiped out physical and digital records as a part of what he did.  I assumed yes, but I'm not sure that was clarified.  If all record of him was wiped out then he'll have to find a way to fake his high school diploma...

But you're saying they showed him actually getting a bank account?  I remember the apartment and wondering how he managed to get that.  Haven't seen it since it was in the theatre so I forget.

They didn't show it but... he'd had to have, right? The MCU isn't great for logic puzzles since a lot of time mechanics and such will fall apart when you explore the possibilities too much (also why, I assume, they haven't delved deeper in the snap/blip), so maybe he didn't even get a bank account.

What they DID show, in the extended cut, was that Strange DID wipe out physical and digital records as a new credit scene was added. It was just a 'yay, we're graduating' video produced by Betty Brant etc showing pictures of all their fun adventures over the years, like the DC trip that no longer includes Peter and so on. Yearbook photos, etc. it was a peppy little kick in the pants.

Oh that's right, now Vulture doesn't even know. He clearly still knows it has something to do with Spider-Man, I think.

And yeah, I really think Black Cat would be a great juxtaposition idea from MJ. They don't have to last forever, but I think having a character that's in love with Spider-Man but not so much Peter would be interesting.

Pulse shipped the entire wave, I should have it this afternoon.

I received the "Processing Soon" notification from BBTS for Green Goblin.

Anybody have the SM 1 MJ (red dress) from back in the day? Wondering how she scales with the Tobey Spider-Man.

Murdock dropped down to 21.99 for a hot minute on Amazon, so I caved and ordered two more just for the updated suit body. Already back up to 24.99.

I just pray they don't go the cat burglar route. They handled Felicia so well in the animated series storyline, it'd be such a shame and let down to see them just make her as one dimensional as Catwoman.
