We had all those pics from SDCC of the 3.75" Spider-Man toyline, but now the pictures and case listings and all that good stuff are finally rolling in. Estimated release date is set for January, but these might crop up in stores earlier the same way the first HAMMER wave of Marvel Universe did.
Of course, all the old traditions are held up, with gimmicks that have nothing to do with actual Spider-Man appearances, right down to a scuba version. Still, there's some gems in here, such as the Spidey with octo-arms, another with light-up eyes and web backpack, the collector-friendly super-articulated figure... and of course, shortpacked villains.
For the first wave, we have perennial faves Green Goblin and Venom. I'm liking Venom. The snarling open-mouthed head looks great, body looks good (Sabretooth?), and no crazy drooling tongue! The weapons suck, but it's Venom we're talking about. He is the only weapon that matters.

From the older SDCC pics, Gobbo did not look identical to the Universe version. Hasbro easily could mix and match between the two lines yet tends to keep them separate. Since BBTS has no individual listing (he's one per case, unlike Venom), we can't see a larger image to be sure, but toy sites will probably get the same images soon enough, so that we can compare.

I got Super-Posable Spider-Man and Venom. The lack of articulation on Venom bothers me a bit but I saw enough pics. online where he looks good in group shots to go ahead and bite. Super posable Spider-Man isn't any more posable than any MU S-M I have but is a must for fans of forearm swivel (as opposed to wrist articulation). Also Spider-Mans accessory has been switched to my Spider-Woman to stand in for her psycokinetic webs. Thinking about painting it a bright pink to make it more like I remember it.
Now I'm on the look out for Rhino. Rhino is a must buy because who knows how long it will take to get made in the Marvel Universe proper and I already have an idea on what to do with the Spider-Man Rhino when he does.
Anybody else ever pick up any of these?
