Well Spidey Fans, I hope you're ready to have an empty wallet.*WARNING!*Before you go any further I want to say the following. These pictures are NOT GOOD. This is day one, so most of these figures don't have promo pics out yet, when they do however; I'll upload them here. ALSO, There are some 'Far From Home' figures in this lineup, if you haven't seen the new suits (somehow) and you don't WANT to see them, I wouldn't scroll anymore. Sorry! *UPDATE: GOT SOME BETTER PICTURES!!!!* The major thing I've seen being said so far is "No Mysterio?" I have a feeling we'll get him, he just isn't being shown yet, due to the fact that we haven't seen much of him yet anyways. I feel like maybe they are just waiting. I COULD be wrong, but I have high hopes. Overall, I think these look very nice. THESE LOOK GOOD!!!! The two suits from 'Far From Home' and BOOM!!! Doppelganger! And it looks fantastic.Yeah, he is using the Six Arm Spider-Man body, that might be a bit of a turn off to some people. And I REALLY hope they don't swap from the 'Pizza Spidey' body to a new "raised" webbing" body. I feel like it works for this, but I couldn't see a new mold like this becoming the normal, personally. BUT THIS LOOKS SUPER GOOD.Both of these suits look fantastic. It's a shame they use that 'TASM2' Body that all of the movie suits have been built on. But I'm just happy to have them. I have a feeling we'll get more from this movie in the future.This was long overdue, Julia Carpenter finally getting the update she deserves. The hair is interesting in a good way!! Its got highlights and I think it looks fantastic!This figure is the hardest to see, but it's obvious what we're getting here. It's what we should have received the first time around. Infinity War Iron Spider with better paint AND the ARMSSSS. I am very excited to have the old and new side by side on the shelf.And to wrap up what we've seen SO FAR, we are getting a 'Homecoming' two-pack of MJ and Spidey with his jacket on.And I think this is fine, it's not something that is absolutely needed. I've seen a few people say they are really looking forward to finding it on clearance, but for what it is, I am excited. Getting a MCU MJ is also a nice touch, also unexpected. Overall I think this two-pack is going to be decent at best.The 'Kraven's Last Hunt' two-pack however, I am less excited for. Yes, we are getting a classic Kraven; and I love that. But all we're getting new from this set is a beat up Peter head. And on top of that, he is still making the facial expression that all the other Peter Parker heads have made, which isn't a face of pain; it's a neutral smirking face.I truly cannot be the only one that has an issue with this right? I feel like if they made him look more.... IN PAIN? This would be a knockout (hehe) head sculpt. But instead if falls flat because it looks like the fact that he is getting his ass kicked isn't really a bother to him?Don't even get me started on Kraven's head sculpt. Yeah it is VERY expressive, but I feel like it might be a bit overboard. I am very much looking forward to getting the modern Kraven and head swapping because my god does it need it. I am also looking forward to maybe displaying a Kraven in Black Suit. I currently have two Symbiote Spider-Man figures in my collection (one of them having the 'Cosmic Spider-Man' breaded head on.) And as painful as it sounds to me, I could easily see myself passing this up if I wasn't trying to get every single Spider-Man ML, which is a blessing and a curse when repackages like this come out. I do not need a THIRD Black Suited Spider-Man.Really could have benefited from a more neutral looking head for Kraven, but like I stated earlier; that modern head will do just fine.Whatever way you look at it, Hasbro is really trying their best to bring us a range of Spideys, and I can't fault them for that. We're getting suits I never thought we'd see. But with that, there are still a lot more I hope we see in the future. Time will tell what happens and I am beyond excited to see what the rest of Toy Fair has to offer for us. Check back here tomorrow and if there are any updated (more HQ) photos that show up tonight, I'll be updating this thread, (along with the ML page itself.)
Thanks everyone! |
