SPOILERS AHEAD!Later in the day after that WONDERFUL find of the Negative Zone Spidey, we were blessed with a full wave shot of the next Spider-Man figures. And I am pretty pleased with what I see. Normally I only take a look at the Spideys of the wave. But I'm feeling Wilson Frisky today so we're gonna do a full first look and a small bonus at the end. Here we go! *NOTE* This post will probably be updated later with unpackaged shots, I will also add to the Marvel Legends page once we have those better looks! Peter B. ParkerThis was expected, but awesome to finally see. I love the look of this figure already. The likeness of the movie is captured PERFECTLY. Thankful for two heads, I don't think a fully masked head would have made much of a difference but I won't lie when saying it would have set this figure a notch higher. However, I think a really good idea would be to re-release this figure in full Spidey garb and Miles in his store bought outfit. Just to fully round out appearances. The cup is a FANTASTIC touch, the perfectly molded hand is great. I overall really love the look of what is going on here! Side note, not sure where else to post this really. But I am hoping we get a rounded out roster with Peni and Noir. While the SP//DR we have isn't movie accurate, it would still be nice to have. Pack those two in together and you're golden! Miles MoralesThis figure rocks. I LOVE the sculpted webs, Hasbro is really going in a good direction. The expression he has is a bit iffy for me. It is really hard to say if I'd pose him in the collection with his mask on or off. We already have a few Miles with masks, and the first attempt at this was horrible so... It's really hard to say on that. What I can say is I love that they went with a jacket/ shorts look. I think it's a fantastic touch. No wall crawling hands, but two shooty hands is a nice touch along with two fists! Gwen StacyHere we see Spider-Ham getting screwed over for a second time lol. I love that they are trying to give us this little dude, but come on throw SOME articulation on him. If you can make Puck and Hit-Monkey work you can throw a little something on our mans here. Back to the figure at hand. Gwen looks nice, nothing we really haven't already seen just done better. Or maybe more accurate is the word. I like the head sculpt and I am thankful they are doing the movie itself justice by actually giving us accurate likenesses... But I just wish they were more expressed. I think Hasbro has always been hit or miss with their expressions. But I am just really happy overall! Marvel's ProwlerI think it's cool to see this design come to life. While I am not an avid collector of figures that aren't Spider-Man, I like the design. My favorite detail is the baggy look of the mask, I love seeing simulated plastic like that. While again, this figure isn't really for me; I am sure people are happy to get it! The Hand Ninjameh Marvel's Frog-ManWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I don't entirely collect villains, it just sorta happens when buying full waves, etc. But I have been HOPING and HOPPING for a Frog-Man. Just how silly this dude looks, I've been wanting it since we saw the Doc Ock released; which is LOOKS like they share the same body. But I am not 100%. As for the BAF, I'm not getting it cause I have never cared about Stilt-Man... So that's that lol. BONUS LOOK - THANOSThis is the figure I've been hoping for in terms of a Thanos. This big hunk of plastic is INSANELY awesome looking and puts the last release to shame. The Old Man Thanos head is a nice touch but really, adding the snapping hand and gauntlet itself is just next level. Love it, truly cannot wait to have this guy on the shelf. And that is it. We have a bunch of new Spideys to add to the shelf. We're slowly working our way to 100 total Spider-Verse Marvel Legends. And before I forget... WE ARE ALL WAITING FOR THIS ON THIS NICE RETRO CARD. THIS SUIT IS EXTREMELY DESERVING OF AN UPDATED FIGURE. LAST TIME IT HAD ONE WAS BACK IN THE TOYBIZ SPIDER-MAN CLASSICS ERA (NO I DO NOT COUNT THE MARVEL UNIVERSE VERSION.) MAKE IT HAPPEN HASBRO, WHILE I LOVE THE NEGATIVE AND CYBORG; I WOULD'VE TAKEN THIS OVER BOTH ANY DAY OF THE WEEK! |
