Spider-Man The Hero We Need

For decades, Spider-Man has been one of the most beloved superheroes in popular culture. Created by writer Stan Lee and artist Steve Ditko, Spider-Man first appeared in Amazing Fantasy #15 in 1962, and has since become a cultural icon. With his trademark red and blue suit, web-slinging abilities, and quick wit, Spider-Man has captured the hearts of fans around the world.

Part of what makes Spider-Man so special is his relatability. Unlike other superheroes, Peter Parker Spider-Man’s alter ego is a regular guy with everyday problems. He struggles to balance his personal life with his responsibilities as a superhero, and often finds himself torn between his obligations to his loved ones and his duty to save the world.

But despite these challenges, Spider-Man never gives up. He is a symbol of hope and perseverance, reminding us that even in the face of overwhelming odds, we can overcome our obstacles and emerge victorious.

Another reason why Spider-Man has endured for so long is his appeal to all ages. Whether you’re a kid just discovering the character for the first time, or an adult who grew up with Spider-Man comics, there’s something for everyone to enjoy. From the classic storylines of the 1960s to the modern adaptations in film and television, Spider-Man has remained relevant and engaging for over half a century.

But perhaps the most important aspect of Spider-Man is his commitment to helping others. Unlike some superheroes who are motivated by revenge or personal gain, Spider-Man fights for the greater good. He understands that with great power comes great responsibility, and he uses his abilities to protect the innocent and make the world a better place.

In a world where cynicism and apathy can often seem overwhelming, Spider-Man is a shining beacon of hope. He reminds us that even in the darkest of times, we can find the strength to persevere and make a positive impact on the world around us.

So the next time you see Spider-Man swinging through the city, take a moment to appreciate everything he represents. He’s not just a superhero, he’s a symbol of hope, perseverance, and the power of the human spirit. And in these uncertain times, we could all use a little bit of that.

Hasbro Toy Prices Going Up This Year

I am noticing the Star Wars 6" line is slowly going from what was $19.99 to a jump $22.99 to now in some regular figures $26.49. And that is before taxes. How is everyone feeling, the price jumps? And for Marvel Legends buyers, that is about $18 plus tax for a set of 6 figures. That assumes you buy the BAF and want the set. 

That is why the AOA X-men I will wait for a sale. Most Legends figures end up on discount a few months later, if you noticed it? And no one in that AOA set looks like a hot seller. So I will take my chances on that one. 

The new Spider wave only wanted 3 and passed on the rest of it. The BAF did not want, is a barely known character at best.

The FF line, who is going buy that horrible Invisible Woman face? Might as well get the clear variant. Only getting 3 from that set and not the rest of it.

As for the Eternals if I see it in $5 below I might get a figure. 

Yes I know the costs of plastic went up and that's why they need the price increase. But still it don't change the fact it is happening.

So what is on your buy or pass list the next few months?
