MARVEL LEGENDS SPIDER MAN SERIES

In recent years, the character has seen a resurgence, most notably with the introduction of Spider-Gwen, the Earth-65 version of Spider-Woman, during the Spider-Verse event. But, it also cost us the beautiful relationship between Ms. Her death certainly made an impact on Peter, and defined the Green Goblin as one of the most despicable villains in SpideyвЂ™s rogue gallery for sure. Gwen Stacy is a classic character in the world of Spider-Man who, in my opinion, was taken from us far too soon. Spider-Gwen Hasbro, 2015 (Edge of Spider-Verse, Absorbing Man Build-A-Figure Series) ItвЂ™s a pretty cool variant to have in case you want to change up your display, or just stare at OsbornвЂ™s creepy face, which rivals that of the GoblinвЂ™s! The only difference is Norman Osborn is unmasked here and is holding the Goblin mask in his hand. I included the variant here because, as I said, itвЂ™s basically the same figure. It can be removed from the base so you can hang it from the ceiling or set it up however you prefer. And the glider is a very interesting piece as well in that it arches quite nicely allowing for a spectacular visual.

He holds a pumpkin bomb in his right hand, which canвЂ™t be removed unfortunately but it still looks cool. The detail on this figure is so well done for being an older figure, with intricate scales up and down his arms and legs, and the signature stocking cap pointing out from the back of the head, as if in motion.

He wears the classic green and purple that were so common back in the early days of comics.

The original figure was part of the Onslaught вЂњVillains WaveвЂќ from Series 13 of Marvel Legends. This is actually two figures in one because they are essentially the same character. So no true Spider-Man collection would be complete without olвЂ™ Gobby in it! Yes, heвЂ™s been overused at this point, but heвЂ™s still that one defining villain in Spider-ManвЂ™s history that stands above the rest. Green Goblin is one of, if not THE greatest Spider-Man villain. Green Goblin and Unmasked Variant 2006 Toy Biz (Series 13 Onslaught вЂњVillains WaveвЂќ) There were no issues with the webbing - the usual candidate - and the whites in the eye mask were bold and unblemished.It should also be noted that as part of the Ultimate Green Goblin Build-A-Figure wave, she comes with the Ultimate Green Goblin torso. Paint: This is probably a case by case basis, but my figure was extremely clean with the paint. Hopefully thatвЂ™s something I can smooth out. My figure did have some flashing on both of the right jawlines. Again, this is more a preference at this point, but this Spider-Man embodies that 70s/80s style I remember. I like the default head sculpt as itвЂ™s relaxed without being very wide like weвЂ™ve seen from artists like McFarlane and Bagley. IвЂ™m impressed with the flow of the sculpt as thereвЂ™s no funky shoulders or awkward positioning in the hips to allow for better articulation. This mold is also more in line with the more defined version in the Fox cartoon series as well. Just based on the variety of Spider-Man artists, itвЂ™s easy to see earlier figures as a perfectly valid Spider-Man, but this recalls more of how I originally picture Spider-Man. Likeness: Unlike the spindly and scrawny, Pizza Spider-Man body, this is more of a 70s era Ross Andru style with muscles and some definition like an average sized guy. Nothing to write home about, but everyone knows SpideyвЂ™s origin by this point, no? The back features the rest of the wave, the special feature and a basic bio. This is a very eye catching color scheme and grabs your attention from the other black package figures on most shelves.

ItвЂ™s nice and colorful with the show logo against a purple backdrop and a showcase image of Spider-Man to the left.
