    I thought Spidey set would be as early as September and Captain America by December! Maybe BOTH in December?

      Captain America was just solicited in the September Previews. I would say definitely next year on him.

        That's ok, I could use the extra time. I've got some Hot Toys figures due in October and it's gonna be pretty expensive.

          I don't mind a delay if its to make things right... On the same token, I just can't avoid getting concerned about these not being made at all...

              I'm sure they have to live by the same rule that says they need enough pre-orders to justify making them.

                This site says the scheduled release date is 6/24/2015.
                With every new retro-style figure release, demand for Marvel Comics-based retro figures has grown, and now DST is making the toys everybody has been asking for! The Marvel Retro line will capture the nostalgia of the 1970s in a series of limited edition 8-inch figures, starting with none other than the Amazing Spider-Man. Spidey will feature a real cloth costume, as well as additional heads, outfits and accessories to turn him into your favorite version of the wall-crawler! It will all come packaged inside a deluxe window box, along with a reproduction of the classic packaging. Spidey will only be available in a limited run, so get on board now, before his amazing friends and foes join the line! Designed and sculpted by EMCE Toys!

                  That is both disappointing and disturbing. :(

                    It's likely a mistype...The set is scheduled for next month and Cap is scheduled for January

                      I don't think any site is in agreement. EE and DST has the Cap set coming out in March 2015 and the Spiderman set coming out this month. Amok Time still has the Spider-man set listed as coming out in September...of this year... and no release date for Cap. I guess the easiest way to find out is for Doc or the DST Hulkster to answer the question.

                        Art Asylum (owned by DST) list in their "Ship Dates Update" that the Spider-Man Set will ship in Fall 2014.

                        The Cap Set is due to ship in Winter 2014.

                        They usually list better dates than just a season.

                          All dates are estimates, and things get pushed back all the time for a variety of reasons, so I decided to just widen the estimate range until I had specifics. Nothing ships this week,but I have not heard about next week. Spidey will ship, though.

                          Right now, the port of Los Angeles is experiencing a major slowdown. That will affect a lot of shipping dates, not just Retro Spidey, and that' s a big concern for us.

                            So when is this REALLY coming out? this month? next? or Never???

                            production pics? something?

                            Captain America is slated next month and still no word on true actual release
