Hasbro Marvel Legends Series Target Exclusive Retro Moon Knight and Spider-man Figures

I might just get this version of all white Moon Knight to complete my marvel knights section. Sucks it's a target exclusive, but the Spider-Man looks like the old school toybiz ML figure I used to have. Cheaply made lol but this retro version of hasbro looks amazin

I preordered both. Not sure if I'll keep them but I wanted to secure one in case I decided I wanted one later on and they went out of stock. I wish MK was on the RYV body though. Spidey I'll probably keep carded since I have the one from last year open.

I want to like this because its Moon Knight but its so hard for me to look pass the sunfire buck, man!

Don't be surprised when they put him on the Vulcan buck around the time of the next D+ series. People may just wanna save their rupees until then.

Blah! Until they put this infernal Moonstone model out of our misery my modern MK will suit me just fine. I like the Spidey but I think I have my definitive one with him as well.

I want to like this because its Moon Knight but its so hard for me to look pass the sunfire buck, man! Also if any figure could use some heavy shading, its this kemosabi.

I put my pre-orders in for both Spidey and Moon Knight as I missed both of these the first time around, and I'd rather have them on the retro card anyway.

Skipped the Python Patrol Joes and the holiday Star Wars figure. No interest in Joes until they get back to windowless packaging as I don't open any of them.

Still waiting on my open Target pre-orders for the Marvel Tracksuit Mafia figures....

I still think this would have been a great chance to put gold piping on MK and change the card to "West Coast Avengers". I agree changing it to the bigger body type while they were at it would have been even better. But we'd be so close to having that whole team.

"Thanks for answering my question. Again, it's only because most 1st Appearance Spidey figures usually have a Red Spider, so to find out that it was Blue all along, is kind of a neat tibit for me..."

Well I can understand your confusion, because its easy to look at the issue and dismiss that blue as just a "shading" technique from the colorist. Was it possible they were worried that due to processes they had back in the 60s, that the blue spider would blend with the blue in the rest of his costume? I'm sure someone out there more knowledgeable than I would know. In Spider-Man's first issue (not to be confused with his first appearance; that was Amazing Fantasy) the spider emblem is red so that's not an problem anymore.

Quick Question: Did Spidey's costume in his 1st appearance in Amazing Fantasy#15 had the Blue Spider logo at his back? Only asking because other 1st Appearance Spidey figures usually have a Red Spider, so I always assumed it was Red. Unless in the comics, there were 1 or 2 Panels in that instead of Red, the colourist made it Blue. But just curious really.

No, it was blue throughout that first appearance. You have to remember though that they were just getting their feet wet and likely didn't much thought into it. After all, Stan Lee forgot his name (Palmer instead of Parker) in the very first Spider-Man issue!

Thanks for answering my question. Again, it's only because most 1st Appearance Spidey figures usually have a Red Spider, so to find out that it was Blue all along, is kind of a neat tibit for me.

I currently don't have a 1st Appearance Spidey in my collection(Regardless if it's 4" or 6"), only because I've never felt the need for it, though I will admit, that 4" Marvel Legends 5POA Retro 1, I may consider, only because I think it's kind of unique how they did the web wings on that figure. Having said that, I will admit, this 6" with the Blue Spider at the back, sort of interests me, and would help stand out a bit more than my other 6" Spidey's, so I could consider it. We'll see.

I like how this classic style Moon Knight has 2 swapping heads, so that you can have either the White Mask, or the Black Mask. I personally don't view Moon Knight as someone that I would get multiple versions of, at least in 6" scale, as I've really like the kind of modern armoured look, and even that Disney+ Series Mummy look. His business suit look isn't too bad, but I don't feel the need to get it, unless I want a pure white business suit for swapping head reasons. And for the record, I don't have any Moon Knight figures at this time. But the fact that it has 2 swapping different colour masks, I will admit, has me interested as well, enough to consider it as a maybe.

All I know if this was maybe 2 or 3 years ago, before the price increases, these would of been "Strongly Consider" instead of "Maybe Consider".

So this is the same as AF15 Spidey but with the blue symbol on the back and Moon Knight is a straight-up re-release? I've reached the point this year that others were at a year or two ago where I'm out on these iterative upgrades. Maybe after 2 or 3 more iterations, I'll upgrade.

Can't blame you on that. There are times where I get a figure, only for them to do a minor upgrade a year or 2 later, and I will usually not double dip(Example: I got the 1st Ben Reliey 1990's Scarlett Spider in the regular Marvel Legends line, and then a few years later, they re-released it with a bit of a better deco, but also the unmasked Ben head, and I had to declare that I wouldn't double dip just for the Ben swapping head). Will admit for me, it may depend on the characters if I may double dip on the same costume but I can make exceptions, including if 1 has painted details and the other has sculpted(Think Captain America, and 1 having sculpted chainmail, and the other is painted), if it's been a good few years since I got a figure in a specific costume(Even more so if it's a better head sculpt, more accessories, and/or added a decent amount of joints), if feel there is a actual need or if I'm just happy with the older figure, if the new release is in a multipack that has a figure I really want, etc.

1 trap that I've so far haven't fallen for, is buying new Single release figure in the same costume of 1 I already have just because the new figure has Pin-Less Joints. They may get me with a Multipack if the Multipack has a figure or 2 I really want(That has already sort of happened with the Renew Your Vows 2 Pack, as I only really wanted the MJ as Spinneret figure, as the Pin-less Spidey was just a added bonus for something I didn't really need, but was okay to get), but not a Single Pack, at least so far.
