Hasbro: Please make a "Marvel Legends" figure of Spider-Man from the 1970s TV series

The Issue

In 2022, Hasbro released several "Marvel Legends" action figures for Spider-Man based on his comic books and his media appearances for his 60th anniversary.  Figures were made for the 1978 Japanese "Spider-Man" TV series and the 1994 "Spider-Man" animated series, yet the 1977 live-action "Spider-Man" TV series, starring Nicholas Hammond as Peter Parker/Spider-Man, was oddly left out.

Fans have been wanting to see a figure made based on the live-action 1970s "Spider-Man" TV series and several fans have made custom figures based on the series.  We, the fans, would like to see Hasbro make a new "Marvel Legends" figure based on Nicholas Hammond's "Spider-Man" TV series.

The figure would be fairly easy to make and would have the same design of the Japanese "Spider-Man" TV series costume design, but the figure would need a different shade of red on the costume, a new masked head sculpt based on the 1977 CBS TV series, and could include accessories of his web-shooter on his right wrist and the utility belt often worn on the show.  It would be up to Hasbro to get permission from Mr. Hammond to use his likeness for the Peter Parker alternate head sculpt, but even if it lacks an alternate civilian head, it would still be nice for Spider-Man fans to have this figure to add to their collection.
