In case you’d like to see the reveals for yourself, here’s a video of them from earlier today:
Some thoughts:
It’s nice to see a Spider-Man figure with Hasbro’s new pinless features. No more miscolored pins on the insides of his arms or legs. Woohoo!
I loved seeing the toe articulation return to Spider-Man (see the one from the Spinneret 2-pack). This will allow for some much more dynamic posing not seen on a Spider-Man figure in years!
I am NOT a fan of Hasbro’s new packaging without plastic initiative. Now you won’t be able to see any quality control issues until you buy the product, and those that swap or remove parts or figures (whether in store or before returning the item) will be getting away with this horrendous act much, much easier. I myself will not be buying any of these figures at retail stores and will purely rely on online vendors going forward.
The new price points really, really hurt. There’s not much more to say about that.
Silk and Doc Ock were previously revealed, and sold out, but I would keep an eye out for them to go back up for pre-order at some point, possibly even tomorrow, though that is purely speculation on my part.
The Ned Leeds and Peter Parker set looks cool. The likenesses look great, save for the smiling Peter head. The masked Ned head is a great touch. It’s a very neat set.
That Lizard figure is, well, amazing! It looks like it leapt right off of the comic page! He, Iron Spider, “Renew Your Vows”, and 1st Appearance Spider-Man are all must-haves for yours truly.
What sayeth you, Spidey fans? What figures will you be getting? Let me know in the comments section below!

@Aqu@ — Thank you! I see that now. And here I was congratulating myself on my powers of observation.
Some of these are great, I love the Venom (sans Knull) and Lizard ones. I even considered a purchase before seeing the prices. I’m not an expert, but I suppose these are considered sort of premium figures? Because if I had kids, I don’t think I would spend 30 $ for a plastic toy.
@Evan
If you look closely, you can see it’s the same figure with interchangeable heads. It’s clear from the package shot.
That’s great news!
It looks like the retro Lizard pictures contain three different figures — the one from the first picture (which is shown paired with a more modern lizard in the second picture), and then another with white eyes instead of yellow. It’s unclear which of the two (yellow-eyed or white-eyed) are being sold, though I imagine (read: hope) that the purchaser will know which one they’re getting and won’t be surprised, if your comments regarding the no-plastic initiative are any indication.
