Superior Spider-Man Walgreens Pop! coming soon

Postby **Flex Luthor** » Tue May 30, 2017 11:13 pm

Probably one of my favorite Spiderman outfits. Yet another reason for me to stalk the local Walgreens. I wouldn't mind a metallic or GITD version of this at SDCC.

Spoiler: show
IIt features a reformed Otto Octavius who has taken over Peter Parker's body, and, having allowed Peter to die in Octavius' body but being affected by Peter's memories, is determined to be a better Spider-Man than Peter ever was, and a better man than Otto Octavius.

Thanks for the info! It's always fun knowing the history behind figures that are unknown to me...Makes me appreciate it even more.

Agreed, I like to read a bit about the background of all of the figures, makes it a bit more meaningful knowing the story and knowing it's not just another spiderman repaint

This is awesome and probably one of my favorite looking POPS so far. Shame that this is a Walgreens exclusive, meaning I'll likely never find it in stores and have to pay out the nose to get one.

Looks great but I have to ask why Funko insists on giving exclusives to places like Walgreens that almost never carry them. Unless that's the point, to make them rare?

Postby **Rickakatuna** » Wed May 31, 2017 12:29 pm

It's Spider-Man so i have to have it

I'm assuming there's a bit of money involved with exclusives. I'm hoping with the huge wave of exclusives coming (including Dorbz, psh, and minis) that Walgreens will continue to up their game. So far they have rearranged local toy areas to include more space for each of the different lines.

One thing I'll give them credit for is how they improved the general Spideys. The standard 'eyeballs' looked odd on his mask and the paint on the webs was sloppy and made him look dirty. So something like this fixes both issues.

How long does it usually take from the announcement until they start appearing in stores?

Postby **NargilFenris** » Wed May 31, 2017 8:57 pm

Oh boy, now I have to get this and the Miles Morales. My Spider-verse will be growing.

Postby **PopDaddy** » Wed May 31, 2017 9:02 pm

This will look so good next to my Iron Spider!

Postby **Thrillofthehunt** » Wed May 31, 2017 9:22 pm

Sweet! Some love for the modern comics! Interesting phase in spidey history

Postby **Popsaysyee** » Thu Jun 01, 2017 3:41 am

I cannot wait for this to be released! More Spidey please!

Postby **peruwhite** » Thu Jun 01, 2017 8:25 am

I've been lighting up my spidey collection, this will be a nice addition.

One article I read said these should be showing up around mid-June. My Walgreens is still flooded with Spider-Gwen through, so who knows if it'll pop up anytime soon.

Time to check out Walgreens for this awesome Spider man pop!

Postby **Guneagle01** » Thu Jun 01, 2017 5:54 pm

why does Walgreens get all these Spider-Man exclusives?

It is cool looking but I'll pass on it

Times like this I'm glad that my wife works within walking distance of a Walgreens. This looks awesome!

Postby **Tdegbert** » Fri Jun 02, 2017 11:37 pm

Anyone have a guess when this will start showing up? I just did my all to regular loop of 6 Walgreens and didn't find anything exciting. I know I'm usually wasting my time but I'm convinced the one day I quit looking will be the day they all restock.

Per the announcement on the Funko blog, mid-June.

pretty cool, although i'm not that familiar with these different spider men. I'll have to read up on it!

Yeah as long as it goes online I feel like I have a chance. In store is a crap shoot

Postby **ImranC23** » Sat Jun 03, 2017 1:34 am

cannot wait for this guy. most of my pops are spidey related, this will be a nice addition.

Postby **Tyr0ners** » Wed Jun 07, 2017 11:08 am

Looks like he's hitting stores. I saw a post on IG showing him being spotted in Burbank, CA

Postby **bigant212** » Wed Jun 07, 2017 11:30 am

hopefully there's as many of these in NY as i see the green lantern exclusive!

Postby **bb_206** » Wed Jun 07, 2017 12:10 pm

I'm not sure if he will hit any of my local stores. They all have 8+ Spider Gwens.

Postby **Xenomorph** » Wed Jun 07, 2017 12:13 pm

That Spider-Man pop is sweet, shame we don't have Walgreens in Canada though

Postby **Rickakatuna** » Wed Jun 07, 2017 1:36 pm

I saw it is popping up in California. Hope it makes it to az soon. We still haven't seen almost any of the dorbz or even many juggernaut so don't know what's the timeline on this.

Postby **Rgncajun** » Wed Jun 07, 2017 2:58 pm

Damn has anyone on the east coast spotted him?

Postby **MarvelPopFan75** » Wed Jun 07, 2017 3:16 pm

I love the design and hope to find one in store but all of the Walgreens around me seem to have their shelves stuffed full of older product that they aren't selling and haven't gotten any of the recent exclusives in.

Postby **gotchaz** » Thu Jun 08, 2017 8:59 pm

Amazing Sculpt!

Can't wait till I add that to my collection.
