    Is this a new mold or a rerelease of the last one?

    Was looking at the new Forge from the 60th Anniversary set. It isn't so apparent in this photo, but in-hand the new forge (on the left) looks very "white". He's meant to be Native American/Cheyenne and the old figure as well as Warpath and Thunderbird both seemed to use a darker skin tone. This new one is as white as Cyclops which doesn't seem correct. Any reason they'd be changing things at this point?

    Not Peter means not paying the Spider-Man tax.

    And I know Miles is A Spider-Man but he’s not THE Spider-Man.

    Are the ball pegs the same? Can you swap heads?

    The new 60th figure has a flesh-tone neck above his choker strap. Nice that they added more detail rather than just a mustard yellow jumpsuit all the way up, but you'd definitely notice the difference in skin tones with just a head swap.

    I was thinking of trying a boot swap to keep the brown tasseled boots. Need to look back at a few more appearances to see which Forge outfit I like best. Will likely try a boil and see what swaps regardless of the painted neck on the new figure just so I know what fits. Looks like the same head sculpt so I'd guess the hole would be the same size even though the body changed.

    I'll definitely stick with the original release; I prefer the unmasked Miles head instead of a cat.

    Great figure either way though. And still embarrassing that Hasbro is just doing a lazy repaint for Peter when he should have gotten this exact treatment: a new dedicated mold with sculpted suit details & textures, and proper accessories.

    This is the post COVID Forge, his skin tone's gotten lighter because he was quarantined indoor for so long.

    So about that fan fest exclusive that was leaked for transformers. Do you think there will be one for Marvel?

    This isn't even a new mold though, least not entirely. It's just new arms on the last Gamerverse Miles body and the cat is a repaint of one that was included with MCU Captain Marvel if I'm not mistaken.
