Hey my fellow Plastic Addicts. I hope you all had a happy holiday and a fantastic new year. After nearly two weeks of work, I finally had some time off work so I’m back with some Character Updates, mostly from the reveals from the December livestream that had at the start of that month. Of the reveals for those, eight of them were new characters for the most part, with the rest being a mix of a few upgrades to previous figures and some new costumes.

Starting with the upgrades, which is basically switching out the previous figures with new ones:

• Agent Venom – his original Agent Venom look
• Spider-man – his unlimited look
• Spider-man (Unlimited)
• Wolverine (Ultimate)

Next we have the figures that are new costumes:

• Cyclops – Added a X-Factor section
• Scarlet Spider (Kaine Parker) – added a Clone Saga section
• The Lizard (Amazing Spider-man) – added a NWH section
• Professor X – added a Safari suit section
• Wolverine – Added a X-treme X-men section

And finally we have the figures that have a better image #:

• Nightcrawler (Age of Apocalypse)

Now with those out of the way, let’s talk about some “new” characters. Well, I say new characters, but they are really just some quick Alternate versions. Starting with the animated stuff, with Chameleon (The Animated Series), which is the one character of the series I hate. Not because of the character itself but because of how much the change. They made him a mute, Russian spy that uses a device to change his form instead of using masks and his own acting abilities. Not to mention, they made him a NAZI and the adopted son of Red Skull and the adopted brother of Electro, who wasn’t even Max Dillon in the series!!! No mention of his relationship with Kraven, a central part of his comic story arc!!…………..that being said, I still pre-order the figure. LOL.

Next up with have Professor X (The Animated Series). Yes, I already put this figure on the Prime page but like how the TAS Vulture can be used as a comic figure, so too can this version. The only real difference between this and the comic version is the green color.

Lastly we have a figure no one ever thought would be made because it seemed like Marvel and the fans generally forgot it existed, The Nick Hammond staring series, Spider-man (70’s TV series). Fun Fact, I didn’t know this until I research this BUT he has appeared in the comics as part of the Spider-verse event. I honestly thought he was one of the variants they were allowed to use but here we are.

Next time we will look at the final figure from the Spider-man wave, Francine Frye’s Electro.
