I can die in peace knowing that Supaidman and his mech now have their own figures. Hope it's a regular release tho. And yes, that's a reissue along with the Gigi Bracele- I mean the Spider Bracelet.

Excuse me?!

I need this. I need him.

Yeah that particular Leopardon is a new release. It has the "R"-suffix, GX-33R, they've done that with SOC updates lately. Basically if the figure has any changes to its original version (new colors, accessories) it gets an "R" after the number. Which means this will be different from the original in some form.

Anyway, Toei Spider-Man hype, I need all of this stuff.

Oh I get it; the Spider Bracelet is included because the Spider-Man figure originally included is now obsolete thanks to the SHF Spider-Man.

That's great actually because I plan to display all of this stuff together.

Yeah the re-release is cool. BUT THAT FIGUARTS THO...

There is, more or less, "confirmation", that the Toei Spider-Man will appear in the next Spider-Verse Movie, and I was hoping for a Hasbro-produced iteration of Leopardon during that time, but this version does look pretty good and probably better than anything Hasbro would release for mass-retail in the States!

In addition, it would also be nice if Toei made a deal with someone, SHOUT! or Mill Creek or Disney+, and re-release the Toei Spider-Man so we can enjoy that as well

A whole lot more expensive though! Maybe Hasbro will make something as well; more chances for different types of collectors are always welcome.

Home media releases would be sweet but Disney+ sounds like a good start! On the other hand - the series is quite "controversial" considering Spider-Man wields guns in this and that blood and minor gore sometimes happen. Plus on screen child abuse. Don’t know how Disney+ handles that sorta thing, my guess would be to not show it at all.

Marvel and Disney evidently care about the series as many Spider-Man writers have wanted to include Leopardon and recent entries over the past couple of years are seemingly indicative of this.

I also remember a time when the series or some of its episodes were available through Marvel.

Streaming has its advantages, but if Disney is hesitant, then a physical release meant more for collectors might be the next best option.

I'm also noting how Marvel seemingly has no qualms about doing Ultraman comics, which suggests their receptiveness toward a tokusatsu adaptation based on an older show which might have dated elements.

Maybe Marvel could release a series based on the Toei Spider-Man and Leopardon rather than leaving him constrained to a crossover!

Also, haven't there been a few interdimensional Spiders in Marvel comics which use arms or less hesitant to use arms?
