IMO he's a decent enough figure. Another addition to my Spider-man's Rogues Gallery shelf. I have to agree with you about the head sculpt being black and him having accessories with additional hands.
@NECROMAGICIAN666 Really? That's your response to someone giving their opinion on the fig? Reminds me of interactions my wife's daycare kids have. One kid says, "I like green beans." And another reacts with, "That's stupid. Green beans are yucky." 🙄😂
@@jimwheeler9840 The proportions sucks, old mold, ugly ass everything it’s not a figure that looks like it came in 2023 this is an old figure with some awfully applied paint on Man this is trash this body is so old, the Vulcan doesn’t work, the renew your vows Spider-Man is ugly. They are running out of bodies and they are not making some that look better or modern or function in a good way. (no it's not decent)
Thank you. Seems like another example of Hasbro telling us, "Hey, we know you collectors out there that are collectors of niche characters or are "completists" will get this figure, so we're not going to really invest production money in it... we need to maximize profit margin". Toy Biz went out of business for a reason, sure. But c'mon, Hasbro... pinless-jointed arms at minimum here!!!
I'm still getting him but yeah the lack of accessories and the color of the bandana is pretty damn upsetting. I give him a sud rating of "I'll wait for the black Friday sale."
I like this figure well enough. I don't really know what more they could do to a Tarantula figure to make it much better. I don't really care about pin-less pegs and whatnot. And BTW his mask was absolutely supposed to be blue in his early appearances and even into the 80's. You can see the difference in the coloring of the mask compared to his boots and gloves and chest symbol. The mask is like 90% blue with some black shading, and the boots and gloves, etc. are 90% black with some blue shading. So his mask was definitely always meant to be blue. Later in the 90's Eric Larsen changed it to black (but he also made Spider-Man's blue sections black as well). So the mask on this figure is not incorrect. It's just a matter of which era you prefer.
I'd have been fine with this IF they had done the shading mentioned on the mask. I think what throws people is that it is such a straight, bright blue all it's own, no different than if it had been straight green or purple, as that color appears nowhere else in the costume. Black shading would have at least made it visually tie in better. (And yes, I follow Anthony's Customs, because I am nearly as picky and detailed as he is. 😊)
The figure is good there is really nothing wrong with it i have fun playing with it. And its very accurate to the comics. Hes like a bad guy version of Zorro .the Only thing lacking to me about the figure is it should have come with more hands. La tarantula also had claw hands in the comics. But i think its decent figure. I say good articulations not Great but sufficient enough to have fun playing with it. I like the figure . Knowing the character.
actually this guy is exelent for a ps4/5 side mission. you see tarantula had been involved with the BRAND and the brand is a branch of ROXXON, so roxxon coming back with an attempt to pay back miles is a perfect opportunity and a use for a rather underused villian like martin lee and hammerhead
My only problem with the street humans is that they don’t fit with any figures I have, they are like an inch taller than everything I own. 😭 Good figures tho
I always thought it was a red and blue costume? The Tarantula is a fictional character name used by several characters, usually supervillains, appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Most of these characters are primarily depicted as wearing a red and blue suit with retractable blades.
I agree the blue wave cap kills a figure that is red and black and I don’t care if it is like that in the comics I was reading comics before many of you were born .
This is the epitome of what Hasbro is now. This is them doing the bare minimum with no respect for their customers. The Giant Man is actual a good value-quality ratio. This is insulting.
Yea this figure is hella wack especially for the price lmao! I only grab legends on sale now they just aren’t worth the prices they are charging anymore imo
literally. i might as well just buy a neca xenomorph cause theyre surprisingly cheaper than the retro card marvel legends @ my target @@theextracrispycolonel9504
The type of figure ill buy for loose off eBay for $15-20 eventually and be completely happy with it. I wouldnt spend the retail $24.99 and then complain online about Hasbro. I just wouldnt buy it. Not every figure will make everyone happy.
If we are going to accept that Spider-Man's costume is supposed to be blue, then we can accept it in Tarantula's mask. It was supposed to be for shading with Spidey initially as well. And if you look at the comic you can see that the mask is mostly blue, with black shading, whereas his gloves and boots are mostly black with blue shading. It's okay to be wrong.
The head sculpt of the toybiz figure is not better then the new Hasbro figure you got to be kidding me. The new Hasbro figure is an improvement. From the old one I'm sorry I have to disagree. The old one looks terrible by far compared to the new Hasbro figure. Now you sounding like Antony customs I think I know it all. . Guy. 😅
2:07 There's difference between being a Hasbro hater and admitting when their products are dog shit, like most of their ML figures. This Tarantula figure is good... in a Marvel Legends vaccuum. This is $24 for a generic red body with Sharpie levels of paint apps with a new head and feet. The new NECA Synja Bot with a brand new sculpt, completely covered in paint, multiple accessories, for $36. Only $12 more for an objectively better figure, you might not care about that character, but that doesn't affect how good the figure is as a product. Shartimus primary reviews are Hasbro figures, Mcfarlane DC, and occasionally high-end collectables, so he's barely exposed to actual good figures. He's probably convinced that Hasbro and Mcfarlane DC is as good as it gets (SHF Marvel isn't their best work), so he's okay with mediocrity. I was the same way. My suggestion is to check out reviews for other action figures lines, like NECA, Mafex, SHF (their anime figures are usually better than their superhero figures). Even if you don't like or care about those characters, just expand your horizons and see how many good action figure lines are out there. After watching several NECA TMNT reviews, I have to confess, Hasbro's figures are just cheapy kids' toys sold at unrespectably high prices.
My only real problem with a figure like this is the price. Depending on where you buy it, you're approaching the $30.00 range.
For a repaint, old base body, mid headsculpt, zero accessories, no paint shading or costume details. Yeah... It sucks.
For that I’ll pay for a marvel select more accessories
I found one at my Walmart for 9 bucks. Thinking about if I should get it. For that price probably not a bad deal
For $9.00, sure why not. The base body could be useful for something.@@jadenkumar
If it was Black Tarantula I would've bought it in a heartbeat man. I hope that guy gets a figure one day

Yeah, some shading on the mask would have been really nice, but we're talking Hasbro here. Paint apps are a dirty word. LOL@@jimwheeler9840

Does street humans look good with legends?
Yes they do! Trust
There’s a head swap in the video.
My only problem with the street humans is that they don’t fit with any figures I have, they are like an inch taller than everything I own. 😭 Good figures tho
I think he should’ve been on the renew yours vows body, two alternates heads (black & blue masks) & open hands
The only thing I'm not liking is the bandana colour, I think the smirk facial expression suits the character.
If the only things that aren't reused are the head and feet, then there's ZERO excuse for not including different heads and hands.
Boo Hasbro, Boo.
Hasboo!
6:04 awesome posing man. Makes the figure look nice
Wish it had a different mold...
INGRATE! Gangsta Dan Yun turns his back on you!
I always thought it was a red and blue costume?

Yeah ill wait for a clearance sale
You’re gonna get on the Hasbro team’s bad side 😂 (kinda kidding)

The joints are so gummy on this figure. You can't stand him on one leg kicking. The knee joint bends to the side. It's pretty terrible.
i prolly wont ever get him.. he’s like 30 bucks at my local target 😭
Not worth it, get a NECA at that point
literally. i might as well just buy a neca xenomorph cause theyre surprisingly cheaper than the retro card marvel legends @ my target @@theextracrispycolonel9504

I really didnt like it that much, but with the 70% target sale, for $7.00 is not bad.
If we are going to accept that Spider-Man's costume is supposed to be blue, then we can accept it in Tarantula's mask. It was supposed to be for shading with Spidey initially as well.

Geez this figure looks rough….
Anyone notice the arms are rubbery?

I’m embarrassed i thought he was a version of spider man
A spiderman villain, close enough
Watched till the end for you, but damn I was so uninterested. This guys gonna warm some pegs
Lets see the fan boys defend this one....

Says the guy that likes Toybiz figures...
BRO REVIEW YOUR MAFEX NIGHTWING ALREADY LIKE WHATS THE POINT OF HAVING IT IF YOU AINT GONNA REVIEW IT
Bro! Inner Let Down is on the retro card body. 😅
This aint worth bout $30 it should be like $19.99
Thanks for the video! I wanted this character, but I can't justify those hideous black pins on 2023. Sorry, pass for me.
Honestly go it just to make my collection better as well
Wow they put no effort into this figure. I bet tarantulas will be the same treatment
