Hot Topic and it was $20. Discord is the best part of that show, so that's understandable. John de Lancie is brilliant.

Ok so I ran put to walgreens to get a pack of smokes so I didn't have to stop on my way to work in the morning and when I was at the front counter I saw a spiderman figure sitting on the back counter and it was halfway open I asked the lady if I could see it and she said sure. She said that some kid tried to steal it not 10 min earlier and got cought and her coworker had him in the back room I guess either calling the police or his parents anyway I asked the lady what they were going to do with it and she asked if I wanted to buy it and I said it depends on how much it is? She said it's regularly $19.99 but since it's opened I'll take 50% off so he ended up being like $11 after tax. I didn't think to much of the little guy and I was going to give him to my kid but after I got to playing with him I was blown away by this guys articulation I mean he's amazing he has more articulation than the Figuarts figures it's crazy. He has an abb crunch and ankle pivots that let his ankles move from side to side a very long ways he's from the marvel legends infinite baf series incase anyone is interested. I looked him up on eBay and u can by a loose one for around $10 so I guess he wasn't the great deal I thought he was but still for $10 u are getting one hell of a figure IMO.   |

Marvel Legends are great if you're into comics. That's one of my favorite Spider-Man figure  |

I own one very old venom marvel legends figure he came with a base thing and venoms mask is like half way off oh yeah he came with a comic book as well. I got it in a lot with a bunch of dbz figures back in the day but his articulation sucks he must have been one of the first ones made I guess but I had no idea these new ones had this kind of articulation. Why can't they make dbz characters this way and in this price range. Cuz it looks like even the bigger figures are the same price plus they come with accessories as well.

Yeah, that sounds like the Spider-Man Classics Venom. Actually, with a few exceptions, the old Marvel Legends figures are more articulated than the new ones. This one?  |

Yep that's the exact one it's hanging in my little girls room lol. It doesn't look bad as a wall hanger but really that the only pose u can put him in due to the way his articulation is set up. So he's not a marvel legends figure?

Not exactly. Spider-Man Classics was the precursor to Marvel Legends. The Spider-Man figures in the line had really good articulation, but all the other figures (Venom, Rhino, Man-Spider, ect.) were all pretty weak.

These guys are still $22 everywhere in Canada... I can't wait for them to go on sale so I can buy another Superior Spider-Man and finally get Electro. |

Hot Topic and it was $20. Discord is the best part of that show, so that's understandable. John de Lancie is brilliant. I bought two so the total would be $50 instead of $40 for 1... should have bought three... I'm also pissed that the Invader Zim POP figure was exclusive to HOT TOPIC and i missed it! ARG I hate their deal with Nicalodeon Ok so I ran put to walgreens to get a pack of smokes so I didn't have to stop on my way to work in the morning and when I was at the front counter I saw a spiderman figure sitting on the back counter and it was halfway open I asked the lady if I could see it and she said sure.

Yeah, I would love some Invader Zim stuff, but it's all so pricey nowadays. That POP! Gir is like $50 now or something.

I like to buy stuff MIP, so that raises the price a bit. What I really want is the 12" Mega Gir, but he's super expensive and not very common.
