I guess I better look into this animated series some. I've never watched it.
There really was no time like the 90's for superhero shows. BTAS, Spiderman, X-Men are, for my money, 3 of the best superhero shows of all time (was never a Superman fan, so I didn't watch his animated series- blasphemy, I know). Justice League and X-Men Evolution started off the 2000's on a pretty strong note as well. I'd love for some of them to be released on Blu-Ray like BTAS- it feels criminal we haven't gotten them yet. I know the entirety of X-Men was at least released on DVD in separate volumes, but was the complete series of Spidey ever released to own? I feel like that and X-Men Evolution were never fully released, just a couple episodes here and there (not counting bootleg sets).

Superman was a truly underrated series.
Dana Delaney will forever be how I hear and interpret Lois Lane. It was also my favorite depiction of Superman.
These shows were so good because they were primarily focused on good storytelling and not focused on being a kids show.
Mhm, storytelling is always paramount.
Anybody have the SM 1 MJ (red dress) from back in the day? Wondering how she scales with the Tobey Spider-Man.
Here you go.
I spotted another six Peter Two figures at my closest Target. That makes him the most common Peter for me. I’ve seen 2-3 Peter Threes (and one torn package from which he was stolen), and only one Peter One ever. He’s the most rare for me. Was sold out on both Pulse and Amazon, so I never even got a preorder of him. Just got lucky at retail.
Man... I admit I have gone into a Target in person only once since these figures hit, and I only ever found the Peter One that I now own. They had nothing else from the wave nor Norman.
I haven't been brave enough to venture into a Target in December in years so I'll never know what they have now.
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 plan on getting a couple myself for the suit body. But I am waiting for it to go down like 10 bucks. I think it will eventually

None Legends related, I have been trying to see if my local Targets stock Studio Series Ultra Magnus for a while now, and to date hasnt happened. Thinking I may need to get him online in the end after the Holidays
Just got Final Swing Spidey in, and yep, his plastic feels unusually brittle compared to Hasbro's usual plastic. Kind of an immediate bummer, but I'm not bending any joints until he takes a dip in hot water after which I'm sure he'll be totally fine.
Man, it took a long time but the wait has been worth it so far. What an ensemble. I whipped out every figure I’ve got that relates to this movie, and it felt like an epic comic crossover event. Matt Murdock and Dr Strange and Wong showed up in this?? Five villains? Threeeee Spider-Men??? It’s silly ask at this point, but I want a Ned that fits in with these guys, with the varsity style jacket and a pudgy magic hand (checked out the ones from Strange and Wong, obviously the colors are wrong but the sculpts are also too lithe and aged). I’d have preferred Jameson in his fedora and raincoat. And lastly, we still really need AUNT MAY, assuming Lizard and Electro are locks.
I got Green Goblin from BBTS today—fantastic figure! Goblin is definitely in contention for figure of the year. Excellent sculpt for all of his detailed, tattered armor. I really like all the weapons that are part of the sculpt, like the missiles and blades. And the pumpkin bomb fits in his hand so securely. Outstanding unmasked head sculpt and a great helmet, too. The glider is big and detailed, and the flight stand works nicely. Altogether, Goblin is a really impressive figure!

Right? I think I said earlier, but having everyone together is really satisfying. Getting those last few would really make it perfect.
Looking back, I've tried a few times to get an entire ensemble cast together, like with Civil War (so close) or Infinity War (again, so close), then Endgame (hey, they got quite a few).
