My bad! I meant for ML, but even so, this is good to know, thank you! I’m VERY eager to see how they handle Psylocke in this line compared to ML’s version
Oh, alright! This post is for the S.H. Figuarts Gamerverse line, but I know that Marvelous news will sometimes combine multiple stories into one comment section. I don’t know why they do that. There’s been so many times when I’ll read through comments and they’ll have nothing to do with the news/story that was posted because the comment section is linked to an older unrelated story.

Yes! Spider-Man is the next figure, and he’s already beginning to ship. There are already several video reviews online for the Spider-Man figure. Wolverine has been announced as the 3rd figure, with pre-orders already up. And rumors are that Psylocke will be the 4th figure in the line, but she hasn’t been officially announced yet.

Has there been any official word of this sub-line continuing? I’d be eager for how they’d tackle Spidey, as well as Storm and Rogue.

He definitely looks bulked up and “gamerverse” esque.I still am not crazy about the way they cut the pelvis and thighs. There comes a point where…the figure become so segmented it looks more like a robot imo. I dunno, may look ok when posed and not standing. I have one on preorder…but I may cancel. Not sure. I do have a SHF I like…
This guy is a work of art. Best Ford likeness in 1/12 imo. Even better than Mezco.

Love the concept, but oh man those thigh joints are hideous!!!
I agree. I would buy that figure in a heartbeat if the legs werent so weird looking I also wish they would have filled in the web lines, but even that wouldnt have been a deal breaker for me.

Shown below via mrleeee is an in-hand look at the new Spider-Man Gamerverse S.H.Figuarts Action Figure from Tamashii Nations. Available for pre-order at places like our sponsors BigBadToyStore and Nerdzoic as well as Amazon.
I still don’t know how you get so far into production on a figure only to then realize licensing is an issue.I’ve seen a few theories online…
Could be artist thing?Something to do with ZD Toys, since ZD has the Gamerverse license and they primarily sell their figures in HK, China and TaiwanMaybe hasbro had something to do with it?Maybe Sony because I think they have exclusive rights for Spider-Man video games at the moment.So, an artist thing I don’t think would prevent a figure? The artist would have to retain the rights to that particular character. But a lot of these artists were working for Marvel. Either in-house or as “work for hire”. As such Marvel being the publisher would retain all rights to any and all likenesses/versions of a character produced by an artist. Heck Marvel Legends is using John Byrne’s art for the Inhumans. Maximum Spider-Man is clearly using Todd McFarlane.As for ZD Toys? I think this may be more likely. If ZD Toys already had a particular license? Another studio probably would not be able to use it. This as noted seems to be a regional issue. It’s kind of like we saw with DC. McFarlane had the “Master license” to DC figures. But now that Mattel will be taking over? I think what McFarlane will probably do? Is more static posed figures like he does for Marvel. He can’t create Marvel Figures because Hasbro has that ‘master license’ with Legends. But he can make static posed figures. But as others noted? Legends sell in those regions too.Hasbro having something to do with it? It’s possible. But why then are only those asian regions seeing cancelation? While Hasbro does release figures in those regions? I don’t think they are too bothered. They don’t really go out of their way to get a mafex canceled. Especially for figures that would be insanely desirable like No Way Home Spidey, etc. Those figures usually carry a premium price tag and Hasbro being the cheaper option probably isn’t too concerned.I don’t think Sony enters the equation at all. If it were the particular PS4/PS5 Spider-Man? Then maybe. But Sony would have very little if any input on a figure that is designed to evoke a “Capcom” aesthetic. And while Sony may have rights to Spider-Man in it’s own games, Marvel would have final say. I think that’s why we saw the different packaging for Amazing Spider-Man because Sony still has the film rights. And even then? Three Zero is making a Advanced Suit Spidey. Sony’s spidey license is entirely separate of other games. Spidey is in games like Midnight Suns, Tokon, and yes even the re-release MvC collection. I think the most obvious answer is that it probably has something to do with Disney/Marvel at the top.I say this because WotC bungled the licensing for Marvel’s MTG Set. They couldn’t secure rights to create digital versions of the printed cards so WotC had to make an entirely new alternate digital set for MTG Arena. Why? Because Disney/Marvel were afraid it would compete with Marvel Snap. But how did Bandai Namco make it that far without sorting this out?That’s all speculative of course. But I think the regional licensing seems to be the more likely answer? The figure is still available for preorder on BBTS.Here is a reply a reddit user received from BBTS.
