So the single figure available with screen accuracy is fine for me.
You can always buy the regular version and then the others are just for fun.
I've been thinking about the zip line figure myself, and stop myself every time I pass by the invisi-skin Lizard.

The humans, like Aunt May might seem boring, but others may want them, just to have something like an Aunt May or JJJ figure. I passed on the Mary Jane MU fig, boy was that a stupid move.

The zip line one looks cool. I might get the hydra-suit one too because it reminds me of a 1990's Spider-Man action figure I have. I'll probably get Venom and both the Lizards since my Spider-Man 3 Venom is out of scale with the new standard size. But I think even though Hasbro has switched to a smaller size in action figures they have come a long way with the Marvel characters. I wish Mattel would do the same with DC.

I'd actually love more human characters. I keep an eye out for figures that would fit in. I'd love Tony Stark and Bruce Banner figures.

Yea it's just a guy in a suit with a goatee, or a guy in a lab coat with purple pants. Still fills out a collection nicely.

Post Hulk ripped clothes Banner? Yeah!

Just had a personal day of celebration and
was surprised with a Cable figure.
While I have the baby Hope version,
I never opened. My brother surprised me with the
variant and I had to bust him out.

He's great and is super poseable!
Oversized weapons from G.I.Joe work well
with him. O.K., I've only tried the Nanite Launcher,
I'll try Destro's launcher later

Cable really could have come with massive weaponry.
Does anyone have big guns they use for heavy hitters like Cable?
The Askani staff is cool, but Cable doesn't hold it one handed
very well. Really want a Bishop to team up with Cable now.

I was also surprised later with the X-Force set with Deadpool, Wolverine and Warpath.
I'm trying to decide if I open it or keep it sealed.

Well, I got "Capture Trap Spider-Man" from The Amazing Spider-Man line, albeit he's a comic series figure. Not bad, but not great compared to the figures from Iron Man 2 (I haven't bought from Thor, Captain America, and The Avengers so I can't compare). He has limited articulation points which is kind of annoying, because you can't really put him in cool poses.

There is the regular Spider-Man from the Amazing Spider-Man line which is the one I would get first. He has the 20 points of articulation and no silly gimmick.
The comic series is not growing on me. Thought I would get the Dr Octopus, until I saw him in person.
I think I will get the Invisi-skin Lizard eventually. I'm still on the edge about the zip-line Spidey, too. There are some Joe toys with zip-lines coming out I think that would be fun to chase around the house with that Spider-Man.

There is a nice looking Skrull figure I noticed, in Avengers packaging I think.
I would have gotten it, but didn't have the cash on me.

Problem is, that Spider-Man (the one I have a picture of in this thread) is impossible to find. Either he's not out yet or everyone's already bought him up. I'm thinking the latter...

I've seen him recently in retail. I think they just released everything at once.
I doubt they are holding any of the movie toys back for future waves.
If you can't find him it most likely is that he is popular enough that people are searching for him and buying it first.

A better alternative is to just get a Marvel Universe Spider-man, unless
the suit you want is the movie version.
I have the Spider-Man 2099 MU and think he looks best of all the Spider-Mans available. Later waves of MU will have new Spider-Man figs to choose from.
Here is a cool list with some new versions coming out:

Well, the movie version is the one I'd like to have, just because I loved the movie and because all the other versions look the same to me. I just like the look of the new suit.

The movie's suit is nice. If you keep at it you will find him.
