I have slowed WAYYYYYYYYY down on buying them. Now I'm an in-box collector for for me the bar is lower than most: Is this a cool character design or not? Do I like the way it looks? 9.75/10 it's meh.
@reignmanss yeah same here. Lately they've been doing a lot more re-releases which is fine with me cause I started back in 2018 and good for new collectors. I have most of the characters I like including a lot of MCU but they keep raising prices and not quality is my biggest issue with Hasbro so I've moved on to imports and other lines that offer a balance of quality and value.
They don’t really make many of them. There used to be a new wave like every month now it’s just an occasional “deluxe” figure and store exclusives. Very few sets or waves.
Almost. He thought he was going to the machine that gave him clothes from his thoughts, but he went to the wrong one. And the only way he could rationalize why it looked that way is because of spider woman’s costume
@@jordanscott4543It did respond to his thoughts, that’s why the color scheme and symbol looks exactly like Spider Woman’s. Originally, the costume wasn’t meant to be a living alien.
@ it’s clearly implied in the or story that he did not go to the right device and instead went turned on the wrong machine.

@ yes, it was the wrong machine (which is why Thor’s costume didn’t change). But it’s well established it responds to his thoughts. He’s able to mentally change its form into street clothes.
Yeah I understand him having slightly larger feet to help him stand and to add to the comic proportions but sometimes it looks ridiculous because of how big they make them
@@Pay_connection i wouldn’t mind slightly larger feet, but they only stick out so much on this mold because they’re so disproportionate to the rest of his body. Sure, spidey is sometimes depicted with exaggerated body proportions- but it’s still somewhat proportionate to itself vs a real human being. You have some very unique art styles that push it to extremes, but i feel like for a figure based on a comic where that really isn’t the case at all? the big feet, combined with the very slim-swimmer built body, make him look like he’s got clown shoes. Still enjoy the figure for what it is, and once it’s posed it’s not as noticeable, but it IS still noticeable
@@DimsumGarbageunfortunately that’s just a problem with legends in general. I don’t think there’s and legends that have feet that don’t look disproportionately large to the rest of the body
1:27 The figure is not only missing the bulky-ness, he's missing the V-taper that his body is supposed to have, his shoulders and traps are too low and the shin cuts in his legs look stupid. There should be rotation on the ankles not his shins. Why can't Hasbro stop being lazy and just make a better new body already?
@tetra-boy_9151 I have a feeling they definitely have people who know correct anatomy and the superhero proportion but perhaps the upper management won't let them retool or make a proper body mold. There's no way these artists got jobs with lackluster skills.
I dig this figure. It's funny when fellow collectors claim "this is the best Spider-Man Hasbro has ever made!", when they're all, to this point, re-used molds regardless of paint and additional sculpted pieces,(not groundbreaking info). Can't ruse us all, Hasbro
And that line was for children, not adult collectors. Hasbro should have used the plastic for alternate heads or appropriate accessories with these, not a stupid shield most of us will be tossing in the trash.
@@AlanDavidDoaneThis is a tribute TO the children’s line. This line is all about nostalgia. If you’re going to pay homage to it, then you should include the distinguishing features of said line. Besides, this figure also included an alternate head and the appropriate hands.
@@AlanDavidDoanea good portion of the people collecting WERE kids when this came out so seeing the shields again ticks a huge nostalgia factor for them. I don’t see an issue with paying homage. Hope you don’t collect the Spider-Man retro wave, or ff, or iron man, or X-men Cause those..🫨 were for nostalgia of kids toys! 👀
The shield thing is part of the original Secret Wars action figure line so i understand why. Not a waste at all. Seeing the original Secret Wars action figure line displayed on the shelf as a little kid back then is pretty amazing. And i went for Spiderman right away since i didn’t know who Wolverine was lol
I wasn't originally happy with the lack of no secret wars style head and was going to pass but after taking a closer look I'm going to be displaying mine with squinting eyes in a bruting pose
This is actually a good figure. I have the cel-shaded one of this exact mold, it is incredibly fun to pose. It can pull off the iconic 4-point crouch easily, and probably the only figure that can do that while not looking so awkward.
looking for a cheaper alternative to the mafex but i'll probably just have to bite, obviously it'll be hard for hasbro to match a premium import figure at their price range but they could at least try
These figures were more for the nestolgia of the 1983 - 1985 Secret Wars figures. I think its more for modern collectors that had the original Marvel Secret Wars figures within the Marvel Legends scale. I'd recommend that anyone else get one of many other Marvel Legends figures with the similar molds, if not better.
the eyes don’t really resemble the secret wars eyes but they do kinda look like how his eyes looked in kravens last hunt, and the smaller eyes look more like the back in black run to me
It honestly does cut a nice and sleek silhouette but your review has me seeing why I should spend my money better. I'll wait for a more premium release.
The old Secret Wars toy line came out in 1984, If I remember correctly. I used to have Spider-Man (red and blue), Iron Man and Magneto. I think the smallest/shortest black suit Spidey Marvel Legends has done is the one that was included in that villains 5-pack that had Silvermane and the Fly. I agree about the eyes. They're not accurate to Secret Wars, but I do like the alternate head with the squinty eyes. I think the eyes on the Symbiote Spidey on the retro Spidey mold (they put that out in 2022, I think?) fit Secret Wars more. On the other hand, the Amazing Fantasy buck is currently my favorite Marvel Legends Spider-Man mold, and I've been waiting for them to make a black suit Spidey on that mold. It's not perfect, but I'm happy they made this figure.
I like this fig. I don’t mind the eyes, they remind me of mcfarlane which is my standard spidey. But I understand given its secret wars that the eyes don’t match. As for the shields I don’t know why they’d do that haha. I kinda cool callback but rather have more accessories.
I'm with you on the eyes, I've always preferred smaller eyes on Spidey. When I get mine, if I'm ever able to get it, I'll be going with the alternate head with the squinting eyes.
I think that lenticular puck is just there to make the package more enticing to look at for in box collectors. Do I think it's effective? Idunno, I guess that's something to ask the marketing department lol.
It’s so Marvel Legends: Reused parts, minimal paint apps, odd proportions and bland packaging. In other words, a winner for the will settle for less Hasbro collectors.
I agree 💯 that Secret Wars Spider Man should have been on the RYV body sculpt.. for the exact reason you mentioned.. Spider Man was a full grown man during Secret Wars.. NOT a teenager.. which is what the Amazing Fantasy body sculpt is supposed to exemplify. I did pick it up for the 2nd head sculpt.. which i can use on the VHS Black Suit Spider Man with the cell shading REMOVED of course. Btw i also agree with you about the Lenticular Shields..i would have preferred ANY other accessory.
I used to think Anthony was overly critical about anatomy and heroic proportions, but now collecting Jada’s Street Fighter I can’t unsee it. You could build a figure line using much of DJ or Fei Long as base bodies which combine the functionality and sculpt extremely well. Also, Serpentor and SGT Slaughter from the Classified line, LooseCollector’s new stuff, really seems like Marvel Legends is a step behind.
Today preorders opened for a third-party 1/12 Ryu Hayabusa. It looks good but I'm not sure if it's 80 bucks-good. After all, you could instead get multiple cheaper figures for that price. Then I see this, one such example of said cheaper ones, and you know what, quality over quanity is a good principle for a collector.
For the shoulders it can go a little past 90 if you move that arms forward first and then use the shoulder hinge, and then rotate it back. Annoying but possible. Heating it did nothing for me
I did find it so odd that the retro symbiote Spider-Man from several years ago has the exact eyes from the Secret Wars comic, and this, the “Secret Wars” figure has two heads that are both inaccurate lol. That said, I enjoy the two different looks for the heads, lets me switch up my looks on older bodies I still keep around. The Retro Spidey will be staying in Secret Wars cover pose for me. Tiny/low shoulders notwithstanding it fits better. I couldn’t care less about black pins on an all black figure.
Anyone else has had their AF15 buck spideys tear at the ankles? Like, the hinge is so insanely tight and the plastic so gummy that my Target AF15 Spidey has a tear at one ankle and I can just feel, painfully, my new symbiote's stretching out too every time I try to move it
I bought exactly ONE of those black costume Spider-Man a few years back because to me none of those is the symbiote. For one those eyes were drawn in the comics when he was wearing the cloth costume that Black Cat made. Specially the McFarlane eyes - McFarlane started on Spider-Man way after the symbiote was gone and - if I'm not mistaken - it was McFarlane who brought back the red and blue in a more permanent way and that's why he created Venom: to scare MJ so Peter would only wear the red and blue after that. Not to mention that the figures released that were supposed to be the symbiote usually came with twip hands (symbiote has webs coming from the top of his hands) and didn't have the dot on the top of any hands (which is where the webs were supposed to come out of) But most egregiously: ALL the spiders on his chest were 'wrong' as they were all designed after the McFarlane drawings that as stablished it was the cloth costume. This one on the video might be the one that is the closest to the comics symbiote spider - but like the others it comes with twip hand as and no dot on the back of the hands... Yes VERY nitpicky I know... but hey that's what we're here for isn't it 😂 As for the package and 'shield': damn I'd but the whole wave if they were 3.75" and they would be the only figures on my collection that I'd keep sealed. I was a small kid in 84 and never had the chance with the originals so I'd be completely down for a 3,75" release even though I do not not have that scale on my collection 😅
Why NO ONE is doing a 1/12 scale of spidey with you know…JADA STYLE joints that are the NORMAL joints that all figures should have. The heck is wrong with hasbro when other companies is doing their job so they could just ‘copy’
And yeah the big eyes didnt need the point at the top, just more rounded off would have been better, I like the small eyes though regardless of it being super accurate ,
I have the f4 colorway and I like that so I'm looking forward to this. Until it came out all the black and white spidermen were really expensive on the secondary market and I really like that scheme. I greatly prefer how these joints look compared to the waist swivels of the January wave. I think the sculpt performs well enough for a cheap by comparison to other toys reissue. Sure it would be ideal to have improvements but I think this is the best we're going to get until Hasbro changes their design philosophy.
Yeah, both heads are inaccurate for Secret Wars Black Suit Spidey, although you can get away with it using the alternate head. The default head is Kraven's Last Hunt Black Suit mask design that Hasbro keeps using
2:12 This is technically not true. We got a version of this suit on the teenage Ultimate Spider-Man body in that Spider-Man 5 Pack with Molten Man and Human Fly. However that one was more of a metallic purple than black, but it represented the same suit.
@AnthonysCustoms The Marvel Legends Symbiote Spider-Man from the 5 pack with Molten Man is a shorter figure than this one. The set includes Silvermane, Human Fly, teenage Black Suit Spider Man, Razorback, and Molten Man, and is $68 on Amazon right now.
@@21s_figs It was an Ultimate Symbiote Spider-Man from 1610 universe that they put with classic villains for some stupid reason. That why he was purple, not black. This one is a 616 universe Black Costume. So he is the shortest classic Symbiote Spider-Man. It's not really the same suit.
It’s one of two or three that I’m displaying on card in my collection, so nostalgia is the main draw for me on this one. The accessories are good, but articulation and body size are oddly limited. Why didn’t they go for the RYV Spider-Man? Perfect opportunity to double-dip on those who didn’t want the cell-shaded animated one that came in the 2-pack with Carnage. Hasbro must be keeping that it their back pocket for something else. Fingers crossed that Amazing Yamaguchi makes a Symbiote Suit (or black costume) Spidey on their Spider-Man 2.0 body to match the MAFEX Symbiote Suit Spider-Man 🤞🤞
They gave the right eyes on the vintage card black suit Spidey, and then gave the McFarlane and back in black looking eyes for the actual secret wars one lol at least I have both so I can swap if I want. I like this buck for spiderman though cause it makes him a bit smaller than daredevil and other characters that I want to be a little bigger
I personally am burnt on out on all these figure "updates." I already have previous figure releases of these Secret Wars characters (black suit Spidey, classic Cap, classic Iron Man, and brown and gold Wolverine). Great opportunity for fans who missed out on the previous releases, but i passed on all of them.
The retro carded version is all around a better figure and still my favorite black suit spiderman and I even prefer that head sculpt to this one .....I would have rather seen this on the renew your vows buck.....at least then we would have gotten properly sized feet with toe articulation
I need a company to make a six inch scale classic spider-man with amazing articulation that isn't mega expensive. IS THAT TOO MUCH TO ASK FOR IN THIS DAY AND AGE.
Wish it had Toe Articulation. Funny how many Spider-Man necessities they skip on. Like the minimum 6 hands. One eyes look McFarlane, the other looks the black suit squint eyes from Spider-Man 2 weirdly
Do you think that these companies have to pay patents for certain articulation technology that maybe smaller, lesser known companyies like Jada don’t have to? Only reason I ask is bcuz the old DC icons’ articulation very much so mirrors these newer ML bodies with the weird upside down ab crunch under a ball joint, and a lot of these newer releases having no boot swivel (which is just insulting tbh)
Im not excepting half way there anymore,Give me Characters that look like Mike Zeck artwork for these or im not interested. When it comes to that leaked list for this year ,the rumoured fan channel ultimate packs better deliver on a truly great Spider-Man and Hulk ,if not I'm done. All I really want is a great Spider-Man, Hulk,Black Cat , Hobgoblin ,Punisher Juggernaut,Vulture, Doc Ock and Mary Jane .
2:24 I can't speak to the actual size of the toy since I don't have it but Peter Parker is like 5'10 so he's not really the tallest to superhero around even Storm is taller than him
@@bgksm7201 The original one goes for way higher than MSRP on the after market though. The CT toys one is a logical choice if you don't want to drop a fat stack on a figure that might get a reissue in a few years time.
I skipped on this whole wave today Wolverine looks like he’s wearing a oversized thong facing the wrong direction and the beyonder looked like he needed a disco ball and some powder 😂😂😂😂
Easy pass for me since it uses 16-year-old Peter Parker's buck. He doesn't get the symbiote until he's an adult working at the Daily Bugle. Also, of course the reflector shields are there for nostalgia along with the retro cards. These figures came out in 1984, not the 1990s, BTW. And just about all of them used the same buck.

Not to mention that the figures released that were supposed to be the symbiote usually came with twip hands (symbiote has webs coming from the top of his hands) and didn't have the dot on the top of any hands (which is where the webs were supposed to come out of)
But most egregiously: ALL the spiders on his chest were 'wrong' as they were all designed after the McFarlane drawings that as stablished it was the cloth costume.
This one on the video might be the one that is the closest to the comics symbiote spider - but like the others it comes with twip hand as and no dot on the back of the hands...
Yes VERY nitpicky I know... but hey that's what we're here for isn't it 😂
As for the package and 'shield': damn I'd but the whole wave if they were 3.75" and they would be the only figures on my collection that I'd keep sealed. I was a small kid in 84 and never had the chance with the originals so I'd be completely down for a 3,75" release even though I do not not have that scale on my collection 😅
What's the difference between this one and the 90's TAS carded one that was released not too long ago?
Paint. Heads. Pack-ins
Top 10 best dc multiverses for 2024 would be nice😢
Why NO ONE is doing a 1/12 scale of spidey with you know…JADA STYLE joints that are the NORMAL joints that all figures should have. The heck is wrong with hasbro when other companies is doing their job so they could just ‘copy’
Have you seen the preview of the McFarlane 1/6 statue based on the cover of the same comic? I know you don't review statues but it looks cool
And yeah the big eyes didnt need the point at the top, just more rounded off would have been better,
I like the small eyes though regardless of it being super accurate ,
I might get this one since I don't have a symbiote Spider-Man
Finally!! Great review… mind reader
I feel like if you really want a secret wars Spiderman the old retro one is actually better, but I prefer this one personally in most ways
Just wondering, man. Are you gonna review the Storm Collectibles Morrigan and the new MDLX Megaman fig? Cheers and happy new year!
I will be for sure
The black symbiote suit made it's first appearance in the amazing spider -man #252❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😂😂😂
I have the f4 colorway and I like that so I'm looking forward to this. Until it came out all the black and white spidermen were really expensive on the secondary market and I really like that scheme. I greatly prefer how these joints look compared to the waist swivels of the January wave. I think the sculpt performs well enough for a cheap by comparison to other toys reissue. Sure it would be ideal to have improvements but I think this is the best we're going to get until Hasbro changes their design philosophy.
what is your favourite black suit spiderman figure?
Yeah, both heads are inaccurate for Secret Wars Black Suit Spidey, although you can get away with it using the alternate head.
The default head is Kraven's Last Hunt Black Suit mask design that Hasbro keeps using
Yeaaaahhh... I'll stick with my retro card Black Suit.
Enjoyed that MvC2 pose!
Hey anthony! Im curious what figs u display on your marvel heroes display, if you have one. :)))
I don't have one. But to be fair, i haven't set up any displays yet since i moved this summer
I got mine🖤
But I really enjoy this fig when I traveling or playing dota.
2:12 This is technically not true. We got a version of this suit on the teenage Ultimate Spider-Man body in that Spider-Man 5 Pack with Molten Man and Human Fly. However that one was more of a metallic purple than black, but it represented the same suit.
What's not true? That is the shortest bs Spider-Man? It is true if you're only counting ML
@AnthonysCustoms The Marvel Legends Symbiote Spider-Man from the 5 pack with Molten Man is a shorter figure than this one. The set includes Silvermane, Human Fly, teenage Black Suit Spider Man, Razorback, and Molten Man, and is $68 on Amazon right now.
@@21s_figs It was an Ultimate Symbiote Spider-Man from 1610 universe that they put with classic villains for some stupid reason. That why he was purple, not black.
This one is a 616 universe Black Costume. So he is the shortest classic Symbiote Spider-Man. It's not really the same suit.
It’s one of two or three that I’m displaying on card in my collection, so nostalgia is the main draw for me on this one.
The accessories are good, but articulation and body size are oddly limited. Why didn’t they go for the RYV Spider-Man? Perfect opportunity to double-dip on those who didn’t want the cell-shaded animated one that came in the 2-pack with Carnage. Hasbro must be keeping that it their back pocket for something else.
Fingers crossed that Amazing Yamaguchi makes a Symbiote Suit (or black costume) Spidey on their Spider-Man 2.0 body to match the MAFEX Symbiote Suit Spider-Man 🤞🤞
Cel-shaded. There's no such thing as "cell shading." Unless prisons are letting felons have blinds.
Would you consider doing a review of a model kit like the bandai liber knight
Anthony has said before that he doesn’t particularly like model kits and does not have time.
@bigmoneycollector5136 true. But then again one of those 30 minute fantasy kits would probably take less time than messing around with a revoltech
hey man gumby has infinite articulation
True
Pretty sure the 2009 Hasbro Spider-man is shorter. Had limited articulation but much preferred the sculpt overall.
They gave the right eyes on the vintage card black suit Spidey, and then gave the McFarlane and back in black looking eyes for the actual secret wars one lol at least I have both so I can swap if I want. I like this buck for spiderman though cause it makes him a bit smaller than daredevil and other characters that I want to be a little bigger
Funny you say the eyes lol its why I passed on the figure.
I personally am burnt on out on all these figure "updates." I already have previous figure releases of these Secret Wars characters (black suit Spidey, classic Cap, classic Iron Man, and brown and gold Wolverine). Great opportunity for fans who missed out on the previous releases, but i passed on all of them.
The retro carded version is all around a better figure and still my favorite black suit spiderman and I even prefer that head sculpt to this one .....I would have rather seen this on the renew your vows buck.....at least then we would have gotten properly sized feet with toe articulation
I need a company to make a six inch scale classic spider-man with amazing articulation that isn't mega expensive. IS THAT TOO MUCH TO ASK FOR IN THIS DAY AND AGE.
Try looking into the CT Toys Mafex 185
I just wanted one the last hasbro I missed out on it’s decent figure
Anthony can you please review revoltech superman?
Only if they make a new one
@ also Anthony will you review tonsenarts Warped vengeance Trunks since you reviewed the kid buu a little while back
Wish it had Toe Articulation. Funny how many Spider-Man necessities they skip on. Like the minimum 6 hands.
One eyes look McFarlane, the other looks the black suit squint eyes from Spider-Man 2 weirdly
Do you think that these companies have to pay patents for certain articulation technology that maybe smaller, lesser known companyies like Jada don’t have to? Only reason I ask is bcuz the old DC icons’ articulation very much so mirrors these newer ML bodies with the weird upside down ab crunch under a ball joint, and a lot of these newer releases having no boot swivel (which is just insulting tbh)
They do not. It would have to be far more complex and specific to be able to patent a joint type
@@AnthonysCustoms Then why do u think they keep trying to push this terrible articulation on us? It’s GOT to come down to money, somehow.
I don't have this figure yet but gonna switch his head with the original Retro card release one. The eyes are too big on this one
Im not excepting half way there anymore,Give me Characters that look like Mike Zeck artwork for these or im not interested.
When it comes to that leaked list for this year ,the rumoured fan channel ultimate packs better deliver on a truly great Spider-Man and Hulk ,if not I'm done.
All I really want is a great Spider-Man, Hulk,Black Cat , Hobgoblin ,Punisher Juggernaut,Vulture, Doc Ock and Mary Jane .
I still am not sure how ML makes Spider-Man figures that can't do splits. HE'S SPIDER- MAN! You gonna make a Cap figure with no shield?
2:24 I can't speak to the actual size of the toy since I don't have it but Peter Parker is like 5'10 so he's not really the tallest to superhero around even Storm is taller than him
Looks like they got the white designs on the back of his hands wrong. They appear too triangular...
They did it to match the cover i imagine
Just get yourself a CT toys Black Suit and call it a day
bro support fake figure lol
@@bgksm7201 The original one goes for way higher than MSRP on the after market though.
The CT toys one is a logical choice if you don't want to drop a fat stack on a figure that might get a reissue in a few years time.
@@bgksm7201blows this shit away.
@@bgksm7201better than legends for sure
@@bgksm7201 Why not? they give you a waaaaaay better figure for the same (if not cheapest) price that hasbro gives you this mediocre figure.
Isn't this just a rerelease of the retro card black suit figure?
hey now thats a sticker thats gotta be worth something lol
i'm just waiting for revoltech to make a symbiote spidey at this point lol
I skipped on this whole wave today Wolverine looks like he’s wearing a oversized thong facing the wrong direction and the beyonder looked like he needed a disco ball and some powder 😂😂😂😂
I know he’s symbiote spiderman but they didn’t have to give him venom sized feet lol
I still stand by that the jazz hands pose is just stupid. Both on the cover and for the figure.
Stupid and iconic. So get used to it.
@@AlanDavidDoanedon't have to.
Will you be reviewing the Figma Isaac Clark from Dead Space?
Not sure
Easy pass for me since it uses 16-year-old Peter Parker's buck. He doesn't get the symbiote until he's an adult working at the Daily Bugle.
Also, of course the reflector shields are there for nostalgia along with the retro cards. These figures came out in 1984, not the 1990s, BTW. And just about all of them used the same buck.
I wish his joints weren't as stiff out of the box and heated up. Heating up is a temporary solution somehow. Otherwise a nice figure.
"Somehow" because when it cools off the plastic reverts to its default state.
@AlanDavidDoane true but this is the worst case i've had
Haha try 1984 when they first came out!
