One of the more surprising waves of Marvel Legends action figures in 2024 was a second wave of Across the Spider-Verse figures based on the summer 2023 film. Despite racking up a healthy box office, I feel like the minute it was revealed that its sequel, the intended concluding chapter of this multiversal animated Spider-saga, was going to miss its overly optimistic release date, that kinda let the air out of these movies’ tires and folks just stopped talking about them. (I could be wrong on that, I swear that’s the vibe I got.) And yet, it was very cool to see new figures for characters who didn’t get one before — Pavitr Prabhakar (Spider-Man India) and shock villain Miles G. Morales (his universe’s Prowler) got nifty whole-new-sculpt figures with dazzling detail … which I didn’t buy. No, me, I bought a couple of the reruns, including the focus of this week’s figure post: yet another Gwen Stacy Spider-Woman.
