Why Does Hasbro Hate Gamerverse?

I swear, making figures based off of PS4 and the upcoming sequel would be basically printing money, and give fans something different to collect, and yet...

...nada. A pair of Spideys, a pair of Miles', and a Mr. Negative and Demon set. 

Where's the Rogue's Gallery??

I'd still be into a Gamerverse Hawkeye. Definitely want a Symbiote Spider-Man, but yeah some of the Spider-Man villains would be great to supplement the MCU figures.

I am assuming they haven't sold very well. That Avengers Gamerverse wave pegged hard. Or maybe spoilers. But I think probably sales

Yeah....  it's just not a sales driver.   People who are already into Legends who do pick these up are buying the comic or movie figures too and will do so even without more Gamerverse figures.    And the reality is that people who love the game but don't already collect figures are not buying these.     There's a reason that the Gamerverse exclusive Hulk went on significant clearance and the Mr. Negative 2-pack hit deep discount prices.    The market doesn't realy seem to be there.

I really, really want to see Mile's Tokusatsu suit from the upcoming Spider-Man 2 video game as a figure. Not holding my breath though.

I think that might have a better shot than some other things.   They always want fresh Spidey's to release and don't want to just keep doing the same costume over and over -  so maybe not a guarantee, but I doubt it's off the table entirely.

I think you'd have a better shot if the designs didn't require unique sculpts. Basically all of the villains need a new base body.

The last one I got was Miles from the NWH wave. The sculpt and texture etc makes him pass for realistic, so I had to get him as I'm not sure when/if he'll show up in the actual MCU. I find video game characters are a solid substitute or gap filler for missing MCU characters.

Good point. I'll keep my fingers crossed. It's an awesome costume.
