Marvel Legends Superior Octopus and White Rabbit Revealed
Who the hell is White Rabbit?
Both of you can kiss my butt. I literally gasped out loud when I saw that Hasbro was making a White Rabbit figure. I will 100% buy this figure the second it is released.
She's a Spiderman villain with a goofy Alice in Wonderland gimmick, and she's always a lot of fun whenever she appears. She's been around for a while and actually is in the current run of Amazing Spiderman as part of the female Beatle's new Sinister Syndicate, along with the female Electro, Lady Octopus, and a few other female super villains.
Any chance Superior Ock will have bendable tentacles?
Yikes. Please don't pay more than retail for that thing, guys. There's a 1000% chance it'll peg warm.
IF the various Carol figures didn't pegwarm (did they?), I highly doubt a rare female villain that many collectors will want for their Spidey shelf will pegwarm.
White Rabbit's my number one want from this wave, followed by Otto. I'm pretty ambivalent on the Spider suits, Vulture, and Shang-Chi.
I have no idea who White Rabbit is, but the figure looks neat.
What I want to know is if you can swap the bendy tentacles on to the classic Doc Oct.
I hope the BAF isn't something I want as most of the wave is an easy pass for me.
It is like they are giving us classic Emma Frost piece by piece... it is kinda mildly irritating IMO.
Now I need a Frog Man, Walrus, Grizzly, and Gibbon STAT!
I mean this wave is shaping up absolutely no different. So far you have Vulture, randomly inserted hero Shang Chi, a D-List villain a lot of the internet never heard of and somehow thinks Hasbro is making a DC character by mistake, and 2 technically 3 different versions of Spider-Man. I'm sorry, but what about any of that says "instant buy" to you or to a majority of fans (when even better waves can't sell that well)?
Sadly you're going to be seeing a lot of this wave hanging around, especially at Gamestop or your LCS, and maybe your Wal-Mart if they can move enough of those lingering Kingpin or even Lizard wave figures out of the way first.
In my experience, the majority of the figures sell within a reasonable time. I'd say on average only 2 figures out of a wave will linger at retail for months (or even years). Truth be told, I'd say shitty distribution contributes to pegwarming more than character popularity. For example in my area (Washington D.C.), Targets and Wal-Marts are heavily stocked with Infinity War wave 2 figures. That would be great if it were 2018 when this wave originally came out. But back then, I couldn't even find them at most brick & mortar places so I got them online. I'm guessing a lot of other serious collectors did the same. So now that the wave is back in stores, the hardcore collectors already have them and the casuals don't have a lot of interest in figures from a film from last year.
But again, that's a problem with the majority of the waves, they all have slow movers, some more than others, and is not a sign that White Rabbit is objectively a terrible pick because she's likely one of the figures in the wave that will still hang there unsold after someone already quickly bought up the Vulture.
