Since 2020, Hasbro has made an ongoing "Marvel Legends: Retro Spider-Man" toyline for fans to collect.  The packaging of the ongoing toyline features the design of the old box art of the "Spider-Man: The Animated Series" toyline made by the now-defunct company Toy Biz from 1994 to 1997.  Among the characters made into new figures for the "Retro Spider-Man" toyline include several variations of Spider-Man, civilian characters such as Gwen Stacy and J. Jonah Jameson, superhero allies such as Daredevil and the Black Cat, and enemies such as Electro, the Green Goblin, the Shocker, Hammerhead and the Hobgoblin.

However, two of Spider-Man's original, and arguably two of his most popular, enemies have yet to be included as brand new, sold separately in the "Retro Spider-Man" toyline: Adrian Toomes/the Vulture and Doctor Otto Octavius/Doctor Octopus.  The Vulture has been an enemy of Spider-Man since "The Amazing Spider-Man", vol. 1, #2 in 1963 and Doctor Octopus, a.k.a. Doc Ock, has been an enemy since "The Amazing Spider-Man", vol. 1, #3.  While figures for the Vulture and Doc Ock have been made for Hasbro's "Marvel Legends: Spider-Man" toylines over the years, neither one has been released on the retro Toy Biz box art.  The previous figures for the Vulture, which was sold in stores and on websites in 2020, and for Doc Ock, which has not been sold separately in stores and on websites since 2018, have now become very expensive and hard to find, with both figures being sold for $70 each as the lowest starting price on websites such as Amazon and Ebay.

We, the fans, would love to see Hasbro make a new Vulture figure and a new Doc Ock figure, in either his classic green-and-yellowish-orange costume or his white Armani suit look, with bendable wire tentacles accessories included made into brand new figures for the "Marvel Legends: Retro Spider-Man" toyline so that new and old collectors can have a new chance of adding two of Spider-Man's classic enemies to their collection.
