The McFarlane eyes make the figure for me, I would say. I've always loved how McFarlane does the eyes, the size and the little point near the bridge of the nose.
If you dremel the wrist holes a little bit, you can use the Pizza Spidey hands with this guy and the reds seem to match up well enough. Doing that made this my favorite Spidey ever. Also, the hips actually have a wider range than Pizza Spidey. I was actually able to spin the hips upwards to get him in a really deep wall-crawling pose.
Considering this figure is from an exclusive set and it should've received full effort, I'm gonna have to agree. It's sad we'll never see the damn pegs painted blue.
This is my favorite Spider-Man figure, even though I don't own it. The '90s McFarlane comic is "my" Spider-Man. If only I could find it for a decent price...
Tbh i don't really know why everyone says that just cos a Spider-Man figure has big eyes that it's Todd McFarlane inspired because if you pay attention to comic art there are many other Spider-Man artists who draw Spider-Man with big eyes. Todd McFarlane just happens to be the most popular. This specific figure is definitely Todd McFarlane inspired though because of his Spider logo but even then, the way his eyes are painted aren't exactly the way Todd McFarlane draws his Spider-man eyes cos his Spider-man usually has thicker black lines on the top of the eye piece and the eye is rectangular in a way
True this one is my favorite looking spiderman, is the articulation the same as the mcfarlane or they have differences?? Surely this one is hasbro's take on the McFarlane spidey I think.
If you're talking about the Toybiz Mcfarlane (Which actually isn't based off Mcfarlane's Artwork), then it has the added articulation of individually hinged fingers, a toe hinge, and that's it.
Hands down the best Marvel legends Spidey. I hope they re-release this with wall crawling hands and we have legit the best Spidey-fig outside of McFarlane's.
I like doing still motion shots, something about the way you can tell a story with action in one photo appeals to me. As a result I have army built every recent Spidey figure in 3's (haven't got all of them yet but you get the idea).
Be careful with the butterfly joint cause mine was out of place like that and it tore off on my Ben Reilly Spider-Man but I hope it doesn't happen with yours and nice review as always
+AnthonysCustoms I know dude, just messing with you. The OCD in me kept looking at that warped part during the review lol. I love the head sculpt on this figure, his leg articulation hasn't really improved compared to Pizza Spidey. The recent Marvel Select version does a better job in that area. I really want this figure but not worth the $50.
Is the left butterfly joint actually a right butterfly put on the wrong side? Hasbro has had a lot of QC issues like that recently, especially on the X-Men wave.
I could be wrong but I feel like the shoulder pieces on this figure are different from the Pizza Spider-Man figure. I feel like it looks better on this figure.
rant: the thing that bothers me the most in this one and the pizza spidey is that big ugly hole on the back ruining the spider design. Its idiotic and has no reason to be on the spider and to think that whoever made that design decision thought it was better to put it on the spider than to put it anywhere else on the back really bothers me. I personally dont care for a hole to plug the display stand but if it really has to be there it could very well be bellow and off the most important and iconic design aspect on the backside of the character.
The most disappointing thing about this figure is the fact that the wrist pegs are different from the pizza Spidey. If you wanted to swap the hands, you couldn't. I don't know what they were thinking.
Yes it is a good figure, not as McF Spidey. The McF is better because of the details in the suit and the paint shading but this one is good too I like it. Yes on Ebay they are around $50. But yes $35 and that price is from last week.
Great review bro! Just did my take on it, yeah I liked it. But after the disappointment of Pizza Spidey, this is great. Just annoyed that the hand pegs are not same to Pizza Spidey to be reused. But then again, this is a Ben Reilly Spidey with Scarlet Spider head repaint. Let's hope they issue all the alternate hands in the coming future. Bummer to have this figure stuck with a fist and web shooting hand.
Yeah guess they would try to milk the mold as much as they can like what they did with Cap A. But I paid way too much to get my hands on this figure to review. The lack of interchangeable hands still bugs me...
+AnthonysCustoms you ahve some that look just like it im just giving you advice not trying to be mean im subscribed im sorry if i am bit save your money dont get the same things have a good day:)

yep

I noticed that
Just ordered the Raft set and I’m looking forward to getting this Spidey. Thanks for the tip about the hands bro 🤜🤛 !
lets be honest, it'd take a miracle for them to paint the inside pegs.
Considering this figure is from an exclusive set and it should've received full effort, I'm gonna have to agree. It's sad we'll never see the damn pegs painted blue.
you mean blue? They're already red.
JayDayX116 Oops, yeah blue.
@connextro bruh he’s not even mad?
This is my favorite Spider-Man figure, even though I don't own it. The '90s McFarlane comic is "my" Spider-Man. If only I could find it for a decent price...
Might as well just get the whole set for 200 rather than like 70 bucks for just the Spider-Man

But those one has a superior ankle pivot.

I dremeled the pizza spidey hand pegs just enough,and they fit in nicely in this Spidey wrist socket.

Great review Anthony!!! This Spider Man is fantastic. One might even say that he's AMAZING!!! Sorry I couldn't help myself lol.
lol
There's so many Spiderman legends I can't say I'd spend extra money hunting this one down.
My set just came in today. Pretty damn happy with it, especially this guy. Enchantress, too.
enjoy
Be careful with the butterfly joint cause mine was out of place like that and it tore off on my Ben Reilly Spider-Man but I hope it doesn't happen with yours and nice review as always
Love that the spider symbols are more classic anf the hips go farther than pizza spidey
Love the paint scheme & his big eyes. I'm surprised that you didn't nitpick about his left arm being warped around the elbow articulation area lol.
I've never complained about minor warping that can be hair dried to normal in ten seconds
+AnthonysCustoms I know dude, just messing with you. The OCD in me kept looking at that warped part during the review lol. I love the head sculpt on this figure, his leg articulation hasn't really improved compared to Pizza Spidey. The recent Marvel Select version does a better job in that area.

Is the left butterfly joint actually a right butterfly put on the wrong side? Hasbro has had a lot of QC issues like that recently, especially on the X-Men wave.
no. they are the proper joints.
Love this Toddy Mac spidey!
Hey Anthony customs is the Raft Spider-Man better than the Mcfarlane Spider-Man?
yes fucking stupid piece ir chettttt
I could be wrong but I feel like the shoulder pieces on this figure are different from the Pizza Spider-Man figure. I feel like it looks better on this figure.
wait, I heard that they fix the range of motion of his splits, I was expecting you to talk about that since you always talk about the joints
...i showed them as wide as they can go.
Yes, but is that the same wide of the pizza spiderman? Seems like its a bit more
looks great! xD now im waiting for the SDCC haul part 2.. is it sooner? :D
idk... the person who shipped it provided tracking last week but it hasnt been updated since.
So the usual hasbro QC, in the shoulder, great figure though.
pretty good figure.
Great review. Definitely a great Spidey. Curious where is the figure stand from? One you used at the end for poses.
tamashii nations act 4.
Some said the head is actually new. The white area on Scarlet Spider's eyes seems to be bigger than in this one. Is it just the paint?
is not a new mold
+AnthonysCustoms that's the new McFarlane Spiderman. Compare the Spider to The way McFarlane drew it
also, you lucked out. The back of the right butterfly joint on my figure isn't painted. other than that, mine turned out pretty dang good.
Yours too? Mine wasn't painted on the left side. Had to repaint it myself.
hasbro and their QC.
Can you swap the hands and head with Pizza Spidey or are the reds different?
no the sdcc has straight pegs for the hand while pizza Spidey has ridge's on his hand's pegs
Aaron Chesko That sucks. What about the heads?
+yankeegrey2810 don't know, I am guessing yeah
Yes, the heads can be swapped.

Didn't Hasbro say they've painted the pegs on the exclusives?
Hey it’s mine favorite Spider-Man too
I liked its mcfarlane style i just wish he came with more hands
Typhlosion the Overheater You could use the Hands of the spiderman from the Spiderman and Mary Jane 2 pack.
Just got this figure for $45 today.
The most disappointing thing about this figure is the fact that the wrist pegs are different from the pizza Spidey. If you wanted to swap the hands, you couldn't. I don't know what they were thinking.
that spiderman is the same one in the McFarland spiderman comics
the head on the spiderman
Isn't that the pizza spidey minus the accessories?
$60-70 on eBay lol seriously? I hope they release him to stores!!
Steve Vento maybe.
Steve Vento I got mine for $35 plus free shipping, not bad
Yes it is a good figure, not as McF Spidey. The McF is better because of the details in the suit and the paint shading but this one is good too I like it. Yes on Ebay they are around $50. But yes $35 and that price is from last week.
Shame about the lack of interchangeable hands.
Will you be doing a marvel legends captain America civil war spider man 3 pack review?
He really should, they corrected the long torso on that Spidey that he always complains about on this Pizza mold.
+Daniel Craig Yeah thanks 007
+Daniel Craig is an entirely different figure
the left arm looks a bit warped
Yrs later and i still see nothing special about this figure lol
no its new
+Guillermo Arias what is?
Just about every one I've seen for sale has horrible paint defects
I know right? the QC on these was sooo bad, I have bought 3 and there all garbage not worth the money...
I'm not a fan of the eyes
Great review bro! Just did my take on it, yeah I liked it. But after the disappointment of Pizza Spidey, this is great. Just annoyed that the hand pegs are not same to Pizza Spidey to be reused.

Yeah I got mine at around that price from eBay.
SpideyWeb You could use the hands of the new spiderman in the Spiderman and Mary Jane 2 pack.
it's not the one on the scralet spiderman it's new
no. it's not new. facebook.com/AnthonysCustoms/photos/p.949908905120072/949908905120072/?type=3&theater
Look at them side by side
i just posted a photo of them...
I saw the picture but it's not the same but there close

That warped left arm is ugly as hell.
At least it's easy to fix
