It's been a week since Into the Spider-Verse<\/i> opened, and while we won't be getting into spoilers today, I think we can all agree the film is fantastic. However, when it comes to toys, things are rather lacking.<\/p>\n

While there are a few action figures available, they're only in the slightly-small \"kids\" line. If you want something you could integrate with your Marvel Legends<\/i> collection, the only option is this two-pack available exclusively at Target stores:<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

We won't be reviewing this pair, because neither figure warrants it. Here: it's this Miles Morales<\/a> and this Spider-Gwen<\/a>, with minorly different paint. Review over.<\/p>\n

Do you notice what's wrong, though? Look at both figures' heads: they're the comic versions, quite clearly.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

How long has this movie been in development? How long did it take to animate? Could Hasbro have not at least spent a little money creating heads that were distinctly based on the characters' cartoon appearance? Keep everything the same, but give us Miles' puffy hair, and Gwen's side-shave.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Into the Spider-Verse<\/i> is outstanding, but this two-pack still seems to be something of a slow seller, probably because it's two glorified re-releases. Even a simple change of heads would have helped immensely.<\/p>\n
