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.

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.
DISCHARGE wrote: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.
DISCHARGE wrote: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:

Usually they restock the racks at some point no matter what toy line it is, and considering this one seems to be all released at once I should find him. Iron Man 2 was another story entirely. There were at least several waves of those figures and I only ever saw the first one because the stores ordered so damn much of it. One I really wish I hadn't passed up was the 6 inch Mark V suit Walmart-exclusive figure. Here's to hoping he gets re-released with Iron Man 3.

I remember that being a huge pain in the but during the IRon MAn 2 line as well. I bought Whiplash and two of the drones the first time I saw them, and I only recently found them again at a local Target when the Avengers figures were first coming out. It was like they had a box in the back room still and figured now was a good time to finally put them out. I guess there was a real late wave that had this concept War MAchine in white and red paint that was some kind of 'heavy munitions' version, along with this blue Iron Man armor that said STARK RACING on it and a few other repaints; I grabbed them when I saw them and then never saw them again. Hell, it took me forever to find an Iron Monger and he was in like the first or second wave.
Dagon wrote:I never picked up the Racing one, and I only saw it once. To this day I've only seen like three Whiplashes, and they were at a K Mart. You'd think that the films' villain would have gotten better distribution.

Are you talking about this one?:

I unfortunately only bought the comic series and not the other, although I always considered it. The Power Charge Armor does resemble the movie series figure, although I think the earlier movie series has full shoulder rotation, the concept armor does not(the other concept armor WM has full rotation though).
I want to actually thank you man, while doing some research and ending up at the above link, I had the idea to use the ball peg on the concept armor and attach the Artillery Armors cannon. I just wish there was a way to switch the chest light on without pushing on the head.

Ah...I didn't see he had a chest light. And yes, the first movie series War Machine does have full shoulder rotation, but the shoulder pads kind of inhibit its use.

I just wish they would make a perfect toy, how hard can it be.

You'd think it would be easy, but Hasbro has proven so many times that making action figures based on movie characters that are 100% perfect is entirely impossible. I have a version of every deluxe class movie Bumblebee mold/retool ever made, as well as the Human Alliance mold. Each one of them has something accurate that the other one doesn't.

I think all the IM2 War Machines have shoulder pad issues. I've got the movie and comic suits, as well as the larger one (what is he, 6"?) and the pads get in the way on all of them. Short of molding them to the shoulder joint and not making them hinged at the shoulder is probably the only way to fix this issue, but it won't look as nice then.
