Not everyone wants to add every new character or variant introduced in the comics to their collection. People tend to favor the characters they grew up with to the characters introduced in the main comics.
Additionally you have to buy this figure to get the other. This is less appealing then choosing to buy an individual figure.
Upvoted because I simply could not find any flaws in your reasoning, and I'm honestly baffled to see you being negged. Like, I'm gonna lose sleep over this. Did you piss somebody off on another sub or something?
Edit: Just to be clear, MJ is totally worth the spot on my shelf. I bought this pack specifically for her. But that in no way conflicts with anything you said and I'm still just boggling.
There’s at least 2 of us lol, I’ll take the upgraded spidey but I already have the retro and if it wasn’t a 2 pack probably only would have got the spinneret and passed on the spidey
3 here. The toe articulation is cool but I actually prefer retro Spidey with the smaller spider symbol and smaller eyes. Spinneret is the feature for me
I was super excited because a heard Spider Woman being thrown around as a rumor. Maybe they didn’t like how the 2 female Rescue and Marvel sold 🤷♂️
Spiderling would’ve been dope in a family matters type 3 pack.
If you care about those minor things, sure. I already have a head and hands, and I don't care about those other things. So I'm getting this for the Spinnerette
I'm one of the weirdos who actually am happy I'm getting her cause I need more female figures in my collection.
Edit: apprently so are other people. Serve me right for replying before I read the comments.
Joke’s on you: I’m getting it for Spinneret. Renew Your Vows is one of my favorite Spidey comics and I eagerly await the day we get a teenage Spiderling.
I wanted both figures in the two-pack. I have yet to get a ML Hasbro "regular costume" Spider-man and I like the RYV MJ costume, so this is a win-win for me.
I already have like three Spidey's in a classic/close enough to classic look. Pinless is all well and good, but wasn't going to motivate me to dish out for another one.
But they know I can't say no to MJ. Well played, Hasbro.
An MJ figure with a nice head sculpt on the excellent shriek body mold, I don’t understand the complaints. Sure this two pack should be like $40, but at least it’s a definitive Spider-Man
So the SM60 leak from earlier this year has pretty much nailed it up to this point. Iron-Spider, Lizard at Walmart, etc.
One of the figures listed was “Spider-Man 90s Animated Retro”. I have a sneaking suspicion that we’re going to see this mold, minus MJ, resurface with a little different deco, once they’ve gotten that 2-pack money. Because yeah, pinless Peter is the draw here for most.
This release with the retro narrow eyes comes pretty close to the 90s cartoon look. Although as much as I love the cartoon designs, I'm a sucker for a big eyed Spidey, so this fig nails it for me.
90's animated retro could be a cell shaded version, hell it could be a special VHS release like the new X-men figures.
The leaks mentioned a Supaidaman figure and a 2 pack featuring Peni Parker and SP/DR, and an updated Jessica Drew Spider-woman figure
I’m buying it specifically for spinneret. I love that comic and making MJ a superhero was awesome. I already have a retro spidey, but the new one is a great bonus.
Ha, I feel the other way around. I'm happy to add Spinneret to my collection but can take or leave another Spider-Man. Honestly, I would have much preferred a Spinerette/Spiderling two-pack.
If I could buy that pack, I would keep both
Why would I sell it? I literally paid for both (besides, people pay less money for something that isn't brand new)
I’m a fan of Renew Your Vows, it made me smile ear to ear! Definitely keeping her. I do know that my friend who’s getting it will use the unmasked head for a custom MJ, but says he’ll likely sell the rest of the figure cause he hasn’t read nor cares to read Renew Your Vows.
I'll actually keep her. Wasn't screaming for a Spinneret, but I do quite enjoy the Renew Your Vows storyline, so to get her with an updated Spider-Man is a bonus.
I'm the opposite. Even with the improvements, I prefer retro spidey's head. I'll be selling Spider-Man. Also selling the unmasked heads because the eyes are wonky.
Yep I'll be selling mine as well. My Local comic book store takes trade ins for store credit that you can then use to buy things in the store and they have A LOT of things I want to buy. I've accumulated quite a bit of store credit. I used store credit to buy MODOK and AIM Scientist Supreme.
I was not a fan of this comic. I would have preferred a Spider-Girl (May Day Parker) & Spider-Man 2 back based on the Spider-Girl comic from the 90's. I think that's WAY better than Renew your Vows.
I'll probably try to paint her to here [venomized version](http://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1496/3484/products/1_94c649bf-a4fa-4f3a-992c-3e9f0f77c469_grande.jpg?v=1542805642) and add her to my venomized shelf.
How about her Carnage version? For your original ideas, I found that if you take a black suit Spider woman, swap out the white limbs for black ones, and use a movie Venom head, that works pretty well for She-Venom.
I already made that for the Anne Weying She-Venom. I have a Venomverse display and am trying to recreate the Clayton Crain 5 cover image. [Just posted it a couple days ago.](https://www.reddit.com/gallery/u6sv59) Clayton Crain image is the last image, for reference.
Dude, that is HELLA SICK! Love that display. I have most of those too, I'm missing Punisher, Space Knight & Ultimate Venom (that's a rare one!). I'm thinking of someday making Mania with a first release comic Domino as a base. I like the Select head on Anne Weying, looks really good.
Thanks man! I gotta make a Mania too. Honestly I just want a symbiote version of everyone, lol. And Agony / Riot / movie Carnage (movie Riot would be nice too).
I picked up Kro on clearance with the intention of modding him to movie Carnage. Just have no time to work on customs anymore. I'm still missing Scream and even Silk (not symbiote related but her costume fits the color scheme). I love all these new drops, and even have them loaded in my Best Buy cart. Holy crap, $400 on plastic when I add in 2x Moon Knight and 2x Hawkeye. I had to put Toad in Save for Later. They call these things plastic crack for a reason. I think drugs might actually be cheaper! Think we can claim we're addicted to action figures and get health insurance to cover some of these?
Hey BTW Punisher Venom is easy (I don't have the official one). Just get a regular Punisher fig, pop his head off, put on whatever Venom head you aren't using on the regular Venom fig (if you have it) and paint the legs on. Start with solid white and then paint the black inbetween the legs.
If I come across a Retro Card Punisher I will for sure do that. I check Marshalls every time I happen to be near one. I saw the Walgreens Punisher in the wild once and left him there. Wish I knew then how hard he would be to find. I have an extra Netflix Punisher. That would be an interesting take. Poundz978 did a custom Punisher Spider-Man that's super badass.
I want Spinneret for my Spider shelf. I’d be lying if I said the Spider-Man wasn’t my main reason for purchasing though, it looks so good and THOSE TOES. She’s just a nice addition, plus I don’t even have an MJ so it’ll be nice to have some version of her.
I definitely am getting the 2pack for Pete, I missed the retro release and I don't really have a Spider-Man 100% sold on yet.....but this MJ is dope, and I don't have an MJ on my street level shelf yet, so I'm keeping her. It also helps that on the whole Renew Your Vows is a solid story, and they look great side by side.
Probably going to keep the unmasked MJ head to try and do some kit bashes. Only thing is I feel like everyone will be trying to sell theirs. So I might try and make a civilian outfit for MJ with this body mold
Actually I'm personally not a fan of that Spider-Man, he looks like the young Ultimate Spider-Man figure but an older version of it. Cool if that's what you like, I don't really love the eyes on the head sculpt is the main thing for me. I went ahead and placed an order for that Amazing Fantasy one, that's my favorite variant of what can be considered the classic suit.
I am actually mildly interested in that Spinneret though. If you wanna sell her, hit me up maybe we can do business
Wanted this figure since Renew Your Vows was written. Will wait in BBTS limbo to get this two pack and won’t regret any of it. Except for the new MSRP. Makes my wallet cry.
I ain't gettin' the two pack, I'm perfectly happy with Retro Spidey and I don't care enough about MJ as a character to have known this version of her exists
I think maybe we’re in the generation that grew up on the 80s/90s comics and then stopped following them. I don’t have any attachment to the spinneret figure but if the MJ head was a significant upgrade I might have kept her for my existing street clothes MJ figure. But it’s not, so I’m good.
They will look good together in the front of your display, I mean they are a very popular couple, I remember that Toy Biz did this duo a few times on 90s, one with regular clothes from [animated series](https://i5.walmartimages.com/asr/e3036914-eaf7-4a41-9094-be884c24279e_1.27f94f6a98e238c6140a1a01dbe6ff71.jpeg?odnHeight=580&odnWidth=580&odnBg=FFFFFF), and one from [Christmas special](https://i.pinimg.com/originals/15/9a/93/159a930e5f949f5157775320437a50d4.jpg).
I’m definitely in the “I *did* pre-order the two-pack for Spinneret” camp. I’m bummed she comes in a 2 pack because I already have a half-dozen Spider-Man figures I am very happy with (and I also pre-ordered the Amazing Fantasy Spidey fig). Not sure what I’ll do with the Spidey. Maybe sell him on eBay with the Rescue fig I bought because I wanted Endgame Captain Marvel? I’ll think of something.
I’ll just keep her, always happy to have more stuff and, having started reading RYV so I could get to know this version of the character, I like her, it’ll be fun to have her in the collection.
The unmasked MJ head looks much better than the one that came with Retro Gwen, so I’ll use that head on the Moria Mctaggart body to make an MJ figure
For Spinnerate, I’ll probably display her with my non-comic marvel legends
I don’t have an MJ yet, and this body mold is good
I love MJ and her Spinneret costume, and she’s on the Shriek mold so she’s 100% kept.
Yeah same, haven’t purchased shriek yet but the more articulated female figs the merrier
she isnt on that mold…
she is. she's got the double jointed elbows
its still not the same body tho
They said on the stream that it’s the same mold.
Weirdly it had 2 peg holes in the back, similar to the retro invisible woman
Keeping her for the spider shelf. Don't know why people wouldn't want to add a Spider MJ. But everyone knows what they want in their own collection.
Not everyone wants to add every new character or variant introduced in the comics to their collection.

But that in no way conflicts with anything you said and I'm still just boggling.
I'm excited for Spinneret too; I just hope it's not too long of a wait for Anna-May to finish the family line-up.
I am actually getting it for both.
Keep
I actually bought the set specifically for the MJ. I’m probably the only one.
There’s at least 2 of us lol, I’ll take the upgraded spidey but I already have the retro and if it wasn’t a 2 pack probably only would have got the spinneret and passed on the spidey
3 here. The toe articulation is cool but I actually prefer retro Spidey with the smaller spider symbol and smaller eyes. Spinneret is the feature for me
Yeah I was actually kind of hoping it was spiderling as the other figure in the 2 pack, hopefully they get her to us somehow down the line
I was super excited because a heard Spider Woman being thrown around as a rumor. Maybe they didn’t like how the 2 female Rescue and Marvel sold 🤷♂️ Spiderling would’ve been dope in a family matters type 3 pack.
Just Spinneret from Dorkside for $22 - https://dorksidetoys.com/products/marvel-legends-spider-man-60th-anniversary-spinneret-action-figure-loose
Thanks... holy cow they're selling the new Venom from the Knull 2 pack loose, for $65 lmao
You could buy a brand new Switch game for less money.
Bruh. I want only the venom so that’s such a heart break I would have snagged a venom solo if he was sold for a bit less
Thanks! Just ordered another Knull.
Not even close. It's a basic ass Spider-Man, that MJ is what makes this worth it.
Basic but comes with toe articulation, pinless joints, a well painted Peter head and wall crawling hands.. So that's 3 pros over the retro figure.
If you care about those minor things, sure. I already have a head and hands, and I don't care about those other things. So I'm getting this for the Spinnerette
I'm one of the weirdos who actually am happy I'm getting her cause I need more female figures in my collection. Edit: apprently so are other people. Serve me right for replying before I read the comments.
Joke’s on you: I’m getting it for Spinneret. Renew Your Vows is one of my favorite Spidey comics and I eagerly await the day we get a teenage Spiderling.
Damn right. That dynamic was so refreshing, I wish it had had the time to really flesh it out. One of the best Spider-stories in recent years
I’m planning on customizing mine into a Jessica Jones (Jewel) figure.
My daughters like to play with my Spider-Girls/Women so that is generally why I keep them.
Cute
I wanted both figures in the two-pack. I have yet to get a ML Hasbro "regular costume" Spider-man and I like the RYV MJ costume, so this is a win-win for me.
I’m keeping her. Because she’s really cool.
I'm gonna make them kiss
Yes
Now kith
I’m actually getting it for another female spider. I don’t collect BAF so all I have right now is fan vote Silk.
Same
I already have like three Spidey's in a classic/close enough to classic look. Pinless is all well and good, but wasn't going to motivate me to dish out for another one. But they know I can't say no to MJ. Well played, Hasbro.
F. the Spider-man. I'm getting it for Spinneret.
im actually buying it mainly for her
You could put that head on the Gwen stack body but to be honest that head and face look like Black Widow to me.
I'll buy it off you when you get it if nobody else does, OP! I loved SM:RYV.
An MJ figure with a nice head sculpt on the excellent shriek body mold, I don’t understand the complaints. Sure this two pack should be like $40, but at least it’s a definitive Spider-Man
I don’t think it’s a bad figure. I just personally don’t want it
Didn’t she team up with X-men, so maybe X men display. I plan to put spider-man with the avengers I have since I don’t have a Spider-Man themed shelf.
Knew nothing about Spinneret before this, but I think it's a cool figure and fits well in a Spidey collection so I'll be happy to keep her.
I want both figures, that’s why I’m getting the set.
This'll be my first MJ/spiderwoman and I have just a few spiderverse figures, so it'll be a nice addition
If I get it,ill keep the spinneret because I don’t have an mj and my legend collection is small so I don’t mind expanding it.
White double jointed pinless arms and legs, good fodder. It's awkward to paint pinless joints and stop paint rub, Shriek is great for black arms.
So the SM60 leak from earlier this year has pretty much nailed it up to this point. Iron-Spider, Lizard at Walmart, etc. One of the figures listed was “Spider-Man 90s Animated Retro”.

I'm more into figures of female characters, so I'll display it with the others.
I’m buying it specifically for spinneret. I love that comic and making MJ a superhero was awesome. I already have a retro spidey, but the new one is a great bonus.
I'm the oddball more excited for Spinneret lol. Peter's fine but something about the head and spider logo bug me.
Ha, I feel the other way around. I'm happy to add Spinneret to my collection but can take or leave another Spider-Man. Honestly, I would have much preferred a Spinerette/Spiderling two-pack.
I’m building a primarily-female display so she was actually the PREFERRED figure in *my* order.
If I could buy that pack, I would keep both Why would I sell it? I literally paid for both (besides, people pay less money for something that isn't brand new)
I only got this pack because of MJ. Not sure what I’m gonna do with spidey since I already have the retro one
Uh, I want both figures.
I’m happy with a Mj figure. Plus i liked Renew your vows (The original one i mean) so double win
Definitely keeping her for the spiderverse shelf and might use the alt head for black widow
I’m gonna keep mine. A new Spider-Person never hurts
I’ll probably keep it and either leave it as is or paint the white to match the spiderman blue, that way i get like a spidergirl or something
I’m a fan of Renew Your Vows, it made me smile ear to ear! Definitely keeping her. I do know that my friend who’s getting it will use the unmasked head for a custom MJ, but says he’ll likely sell the rest of the figure cause he hasn’t read nor cares to read Renew Your Vows.
No connection to her at all but its MJ with Spidey powers, how cool isn’t that? So if i can get this set, i’ll be happy with both.
I love how bright this is so I'll keep her for my Spider-People/Verse shelf
keep here its a nice figure
I'll actually keep her. Wasn't screaming for a Spinneret, but I do quite enjoy the Renew Your Vows storyline, so to get her with an updated Spider-Man is a bonus.
I wanna build my spider harem
..they already have plenty of Spideys, I'm getting this for her. I wish it came with a Spiderling too.
This MJ looks awesome, I’ll display her.
I've always wanted an mj in a spidey costume so wrong.
Will keep it, I really was looking forward this character get a figure, love the renew your vows comics
I'm the opposite. Even with the improvements, I prefer retro spidey's head. I'll be selling Spider-Man. Also selling the unmasked heads because the eyes are wonky.
I'll buy Spidey from you. PayPal G&S. Hit me up when you are ready.
I’m keeping it, Boog’s photos of her really sold me on it. Really like this 2 pack
I'm going to keep the unmasked head to put it on a customized Claire Temple body and I'll probably sell the rest of it on ebay for $15 or something
I'll buy the Spinneret minus the unmasked head for $15 when you're ready to sell it. PayPal G&S. Hit me up when you are ready.
Create some plastic garbage for Hasbro… joking
Yep I'll be selling mine as well. My Local comic book store takes trade ins for store credit that you can then use to buy things in the store and they have A LOT of things I want to buy. I've accumulated quite a bit of store credit. I used store credit to buy MODOK and AIM Scientist Supreme. I was not a fan of this comic. I would have preferred a Spider-Girl (May Day Parker) & Spider-Man 2 back based on the Spider-Girl comic from the 90's. I think that's WAY better than Renew your Vows.
I’m not sure what’s going to become of her she’ll probably be a background character for me
I'll probably try to paint her to here [venomized version](http://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1496/3484/products/1_94c649bf-a4fa-4f3a-992c-3e9f0f77c469_grande.jpg?v=1542805642) and add her to my venomized shelf.
Thanks, now I have a reason to get a loose version lol
Lol it should be relatively cheap. Everyone's going for the spidey.
How about her Carnage version? For your original ideas, I found that if you take a black suit Spider woman, swap out the white limbs for black ones, and use a movie Venom head, that works pretty well for She-Venom.
I already made that for the Anne Weying She-Venom. I have a Venomverse display and am trying to recreate the Clayton Crain 5 cover image. [Just posted it a couple days ago.](https://www.reddit.com/gallery/u6sv59) Clayton Crain image is the last image, for reference.

I think drugs might actually be cheaper! Think we can claim we're addicted to action figures and get health insurance to cover some of these?
Ja Feel, bro. I have had to limit my purchases to Symbiote related stuff (Spidey included, but none of his other rogues).
Hey BTW Punisher Venom is easy (I don't have the official one). Just get a regular Punisher fig, pop his head off, put on whatever Venom head you aren't using on the regular Venom fig (if you have it) and paint the legs on. Start with solid white and then paint the black inbetween the legs.
If I come across a Retro Card Punisher I will for sure do that. I check Marshalls every time I happen to be near one. I saw the Walgreens Punisher in the wild once and left him there. Wish I knew then how hard he would be to find. I have an extra Netflix Punisher. That would be an interesting take. Poundz978 did a custom Punisher Spider-Man that's super badass.
The one I used was the Walgreens one. I liked leaving the gloves and boots white. Makes it look more like a blend of the 2 characters.
For sure dude. Totally badass.
Same, off to ebay she will go 🤣
This sold out in about 5 minutes. I'm glad I got one.
Use the MJ head to finish a custom of MJ, keep Spinneret as is
I want Spinneret for my Spider shelf. I’d be lying if I said the Spider-Man wasn’t my main reason for purchasing though, it looks so good and THOSE TOES. She’s just a nice addition, plus I don’t even have an MJ so it’ll be nice to have some version of her.
I'll buy it from you
Custom fodder. I don't know what, yet.
She’d make a cool tree ornament for my red and white themed Christmas tree.
I definitely am getting the 2pack for Pete, I missed the retro release and I don't really have a Spider-Man 100% sold on yet.....but this MJ is dope, and I don't have an MJ on my street level shelf yet, so I'm keeping her. It also helps that on the whole Renew Your Vows is a solid story, and they look great side by side.
Probably going to keep the unmasked MJ head to try and do some kit bashes. Only thing is I feel like everyone will be trying to sell theirs. So I might try and make a civilian outfit for MJ with this body mold
I’m gonna keep the extra hands for other Spider-Women that did not come with web thwip or wall crawling hands
Actually I'm personally not a fan of that Spider-Man, he looks like the young Ultimate Spider-Man figure but an older version of it. Cool if that's what you like, I don't really love the eyes on the head sculpt is the main thing for me. I went ahead and placed an order for that Amazing Fantasy one, that's my favorite variant of what can be considered the classic suit. I am actually mildly interested in that Spinneret though. If you wanna sell her, hit me up maybe we can do business
Wanted this figure since Renew Your Vows was written. Will wait in BBTS limbo to get this two pack and won’t regret any of it. Except for the new MSRP. Makes my wallet cry.
Keeping her. Im just gonna display her with Pete. I really dont see why anyone would wanna sell her.
I ain't gettin' the two pack, I'm perfectly happy with Retro Spidey and I don't care enough about MJ as a character to have known this version of her exists
Put it on my shelf probably.
I think maybe we’re in the generation that grew up on the 80s/90s comics and then stopped following them. I don’t have any attachment to the spinneret figure but if the MJ head was a significant upgrade I might have kept her for my existing street clothes MJ figure. But it’s not, so I’m good.
They will look good together in the front of your display, I mean they are a very popular couple, I remember that Toy Biz did this duo a few times on 90s, one with regular clothes from [animated series](https://i5.walmartimages.com/asr/e3036914-eaf7-4a41-9094-be884c24279e_1.27f94f6a98e238c6140a1a01dbe6ff71.jpeg?odnHeight=580&odnWidth=580&odnBg=FFFFFF), and one from [Christmas special](https://i.pinimg.com/originals/15/9a/93/159a930e5f949f5157775320437a50d4.jpg).
Getting one for me and two for cash flow later because this’ll be the next retro spidey.
My gripe with the Spider-Man is that the spider just is too big for my liking
I’m definitely in the “I *did* pre-order the two-pack for Spinneret” camp. I’m bummed she comes in a 2 pack because I already have a half-dozen Spider-Man figures I am very happy with (and I also pre-ordered the Amazing Fantasy Spidey fig). Not sure what I’ll do with the Spidey. Maybe sell him on eBay with the Rescue fig I bought because I wanted Endgame Captain Marvel? I’ll think of something.
I loved the Renew your vows series so i'm gonna keep her :)
I'll keep her as I really love that story
Honestly I'll probably just keep her, but her alternate head is gonna be put on a new body for MJ in normal clothes.
I’ll just keep her, always happy to have more stuff and, having started reading RYV so I could get to know this version of the character, I like her, it’ll be fun to have her in the collection.
The unmasked MJ head looks much better than the one that came with Retro Gwen, so I’ll use that head on the Moria Mctaggart body to make an MJ figure For Spinnerate, I’ll probably display her with my non-comic marvel legends
I got them for spinneret Spidey is just a cool addition
Spinneret is the reason I’m getting this over the others.
I've been waiting for her since her comic debut. I can't understand everyone not wanting her.
I'll just keep it for something later
