These are the same figures released before only now packaged together.When McFarlane teased this Bane figure in this set last week, we thought it was going to be for a Mega stand-alone figure since we had seen a listing for a stand-alone figure previously listed in the Target store system. Since this one is not a stand-alone that means there should be some single release version of Bane coming, however if its this on released for a third time or some new version remains unknown.
Yeah this was his exclusive for his new online store, I'm not excited at all about it, it's like C'mon Todd! lol
It better be a totally new different and better Bane version, better be a more classic looking one.

Looks like a cool figure. Ill have to hope I see him online cause retail prices for our Los Angeles stores are sky rocketing in recent weeks compared to the rest of the nation. Figures like standard wave Marvel Legends that are priced at 19.99 online are now $29 at most of our LA Targets and the $39.99 sku like this is being marked and ringing up as $52 at our local Targets. Hopefully this isnt a sign for where prices are heading for the rest of the country.

McFarlane does so many repaint variants but they can't figure out repaintthat would be actually cool and profitable like custom below.
this looks 100x better
If the colors were based on the classic Bane, this might have generated more positive impressions to people.
Yeah thats a realllly dumb move. The Bane was a very specific iteration of Bane that most would feel is not the version theyd want for Bane. Its really only geared towards the fans of that current run of comics hes from along with the wave. So its equally puzzling to re-release him on his own months after hes already been out. At least when marvel legends does it, they alter the baf and release it YEARS after its been released. I was really hoping for a normal non zombie looking Bane from this. Bad move Todd.
If its the same sculpt it's a hard pass for me even with a repaint. A current comics version or knightfall version then I'm interested.

While I'm glad for the opportunity to get this single packed instead of the line of figures of which I all passed on every single one, I don't like this design I have to admit. Just going to wait on a more classic version of Bane.
