I'd be broke if I got all of the pops. For ME it's mostly Thor and Shield popsI finally got the Black Panther and Winter Soldier funkos today. Every store I went to seem to be sold out of those
So what's the deal with the absolute lack of anything Spider-Man merch from Civil War? Do you guys think that Sony isn't allowing Disney/Marvel to do that? Because I was under the impression that Disney owns the merchandising rights to the character. I even saw Amazing Spider-Man 2 stuff in the Disney store two years ago. What gives of the lack of Spider-Man merch from Civil War?
I posted this earlier in the thread Hunter
Yeah, it's really annoying me. I don't know how much of it is due to the Marvel-Sony agreement, but I hate how all these sets of characters exclude Spidey.
I'm ready to spend some bucks on Spidey merch, why is none available?!!

I explained this earlier in the thread. Chances are toymakers were not given enough lead time.
Toys are not quick to make, as they require time to make molds and prototypes, as well as solicitation to the stores. Most companies got the designs for all the other heroes last year at the latest, and Spider-Man presumably wasn't among them.
As I said several pages ago, all the stuff that is out right now or will be out in a few weeks? We've known about it months in advance.
I guess that makes sense why CW Spider-Man stuff isn't out there, but given that it is by far the top selling cbm character, I would imagine there should be molds that would allow for some things to be sold with updated paint job. I think it's been over a year since they've known he would be in this movie.
By the time Spider-Man stuff hits shelves (if they do), the movie may not even be in theaters anymore.
So far his costume differs from the previous Spider-Man suits in more than just paint job, which means it would take more time to make the molds.
That's not uncommon with these sorts of things. We're still getting Age of Ultron toys from some figures.

At the very least, they could do like Kenner did with the original Star Wars, and tease upcoming toys and figs with outlined photos and "coming soon" type teases. Making no mention that there is anything forthcoming like such a wasted opportunity for what looks to be a merchandising bonanza.

What is the size of these action figures? I'm tempted to buy them so I can recreate the airport scene.

Would love a Spidey statue. Are you getting both the BvS and CW statues?
