What were the typical release windows for Hot Toys' "Classic Comic" Spider-Man figures, and how does this affect current market availability and pricing?

Hot Toys has released several "Classic Comic" inspired Spider-Man figures, though less frequently than MCU versions. Their release windows are usually announced well in advance (typically 1-2 years prior to shipment), and figures are generally available for pre-order during that period. Once a figure is retired from production, its availability on the primary market ceases. This often drives up secondary market prices significantly for popular "Classic Comic" versions, as the demand from collectors for these iconic representations frequently outstrips the limited original supply, making them more expensive and harder to find for new collectors.
