Why didn't Marvel reissue Spider-Man merch for Marvel Zombies?

This is from the 2021 What If...? wave. That wave also included Zombie Captain America, Zombie Iron Man and iirc, Zombie Wanda.

Except for Zombie Iron Man who died in that episode, the Zombie Hunter Spider-Man model doesn't return in Marvel Zombies. Marvel's partners have released promo for Blade Knight, Zombie Wanda (again) and Zombie Cap, in addition to Zombie Hawkeye.

The most popular superhero in the world seemingly got none. No Marvel Rivals skins (they announced Blade and Zombie Wanda), no Funko reissue. Is there an issue with Disney trying to sell TV-MA Spider-Man toys? Some other issues?

Because a new spiderman movie is less than a year away

That didn't stop What If...? from releasing Zombie Hunter Spider-Man months before No Way Home arrived in theaters.

Also note that Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man merch is released a bit late this year for some reasons. Maybe there's some hope the next toy wave will include MZ Peter.

Idk, it’s Zeb Wells’s show, message him on X and ask him

This is a TV-MA zombie show, kids don't (or at least executives think kids don't) buy that kind of stuff, so it won't sell as well. It's different if it's an episode of a lighter show, and if it's a TV-MA show.

A huge chunk of the toy market is currently in a holding pattern right now because of tariffs.

I collect the Hot Wheels diecast Star Wars ships and those have completely dried up in the US. All of the new stuff has been diverted to New Zealand, Australia, and Canada.

Because they dumped it in the middle.of September thinking no one cared and the fan response definitely caught them off guard.

Will the Zombie Cap be half-price if it’s only half a figure ?
