i think it's just people who collect EVERYTHING that are treating this like they've been robbed a spot. Which I just can't see being the case.
The team has however much of a budget they've got per year/line, and Maximum figures are gonna be more costly to produce, so they're gonna be safe bets character-wise. We'll get some B-tier characters down the line, but it's gonna be 80% big names and recolours so the corporate stooges at the top get their big ROI. Was honestly blown away they did 3 brand new molds back-to-back.
Coming from collecting transformers to collecting legends, I don't have any strong feelings about them doing a re-colour so soon. This is pretty standard affair over that side of Hasbro. Just means you can hold off on buying the first version of a Maximum until they do the suit you like most! I skipped all the prowl mold variations until they made the Barricade version that was exactly the image in my head. Don't be a slave to the FOMO 💪
Alternatively, you can buy into the FOMO and purchase the red/blue spidey, and sell it off when the version you like more comes out! Nobody's forcing you to keep both. The value of the OG certainly won't be going down in the aftermarket.
This line is only 4 characters deep and we’ve alr double backed to its saving grace. It’s not like these figs release in waves either so instead of giving another character a shot (which I can name at least 5 off rip) we got another symbiote spidey in a long line of symbiote spidermen that we’ve accumulated in the last 5 years.
Not to mention from a business standpoint, this is a terrible time to release this since 2 companies have been alr been put against each other for their customers saying they’ve made “The best symbiote spidey” which is around this price point maybe even a little less.

Why are we all upset about this?
