Maybe they figured they could max their profits by retooling parts for this figure since people were likely to buy it either way, then, potentially still have room to capitalize by releasing an "updated" version later.
I love how you mentioned that Mary Jane had severe ptsd from venom and it made Peter retire the black suit. So many people forget Peter has a cloth one that he only wears when he's REALLY ticked off (beating the fire lord to near death, beating the kingpin to near death, beating the sin eater to near death). So amazing to see a youtuber know his comics so well
It looks like it does say “Head” but mirrored so that if he hits something, it will imprint as “HEAD”! At first I couldn’t make that out bc I didn’t realize it was mirrored. Love that detail!
I love how you don't cover articulation and still manage to make a nice, lengthy video. I like Shartimus and Robo and dudes like that but holy shit most Marvel legends have the same amount of articulation.
It's just a shame about hob gobby. They could've learned from their mistakes to make a better glider but no. Even if they haven't changed the glider they still should've given us a new body mold, Bucky cap mold is just.... no. The rest are just good figures!
It isn't actually the Bucky cap mold, but that Goblin torso they've been using is pretty close and easy to mistake for it. The only thing about it that is better is the sculpt itself looks more like clothes over a muscled torso and usually has a consistent matted look rather than the cheap glossiness of the Bucky cap. You're right though, with all the improvements they've made to Spider-Man, his main villain deserves better too.
Fwiw you mentioned that people say you're too negative. I think you are very fair with your criticism. I'd rather hear what you have to say as opposed to some of your counterparts on RUclips
What's funny is that when seeing the new Hobgoblin figure revealed, I thought the value of the old Hobgoblin would sink, since it's very expensive on Ebay. After seeing how it really looks in person, I doubt the value of the old one will change.
Very entertaining video; Great review - the passion and energy is infectious. Yes I only got Black Spider-Man, Hammerhead and Shocker in this wave and they definitely did not disappoint. I hope we get Dr Octopus, Carnage, Scorpion, Chameleon and Tombstone in the next wave.
@@DisplayingModelBehaviour fun fact dave i know i am late to tell you this but the spider armor mark one haveing less movment is not wrong in the comics peter had troubel dogging attcks he had a hard time moveing to were butterfly joints woulde never happen also anothor fact the suit was destoryed by acid by some villan i dont remeber who.
Ironic cuz hobgoblin is the only one thats accurate to his animated counterpart down to the no scales. Should have used a better body, butterfly joints
This, like all your videos, was entertaining, earnest, and helpful. With so many repacks coming out these days and price hikes, I cannot afford to buy uninspired reissues. You helped me know what is worth my money and what isn't. Thanks, brother!
I recently acquired the Ben Reilly, and oh boy I do love him I mean, he's not anything from another world, but he is such a good, simple Spidey figure I just couldn't help it but to love him the moment I took it from the shelf I was surprised since in my country those kind of waves don't arrive, but hey, now we're getting them! Yay And btw, the Shocker figure is by far my fav of the wave, but I didn't picked him up since I already have the Sandman Shocker (I would pick him up if I could anyways, lol), he's just so good and simple, but so well done..., Oh man; a black wash will do him a miracle, trust me, but his clean simple yellow look still looks fantastic
12:54 the good thing of this new black suit is that if u want to keep the old one in the collection, you can use this body to make Kraven from Kraven's last hunt
I do like the bright colours on the hobgoblin and was really looking forward 2 him but ya he's not the best. He will replace my McFarland demon hobgoblin on my spidy villain shelf and will 100% be finding ways 2 customize him and make him worthy of being the mark hamil version
It’s a shame they have to cut corners on some figures because of budgeting. I wish they would make every figure unique but I know that’s not financially possible profit wise.
Now it’s possible to make up Kingpins round table, hobgoblin, madame masque, tombstone, silvermane, chameleon, Typhoid Mary, mr negative, the hood, the rose, hammerhead, and jigsaw
I kind of liked all of them . Yet I'm a big X-Men / Spider-Man Stan . Yes the Hobgoblin was a bit off but hey . I'm going to take my Hammer Head and throw him in with my other gangsters . Need to find a suit for that Tombstone and figure it out the hands and neck . Got a Silvermane on a Ultron ( old one) body , Kingpin , Is that everyone in the Gangsterverse for Spidey ?
the only reason to get more hobgoblins are to make more characters, toybiz could be roderick, the old hasbro could be jason, that one with wings could be phil (i think that's his name) and this new one could be ned leeds
Your reviews are spot-on, Dave! One thing that I can't understand about we fans and our reaction to all the Retro waves is that they don't include a BAF. Why isn't there more "bad press" about this obvious cash grab? Figs in BAF lines cost the same, or less, than these Retro figs, but when I buy those lines, I receive a "free" BAF. Given that, how can I ever get as excited about a Retro wave? Anyone agree that Retro waves are ripoffs?
Yeah... Hobgoblin looks like he missed the mark. Unfortunate. I have Symbiote Spidey and Hammerhead pre-ordered. Thinking I maybe should have done Shocker and Ben too.
Awesome video as always! I can't wait till this wave hits. From what I understand the Spider Armor Mk. 1 is from Spider-Man PS4. With that said, I'd love to have a Classic Spider-Man with the proportions of the Spider Armor mk.1 as I think it's a perfect balance between the Pizza Spidey and Retro Spidey buck.
Damn that Hammerhead gives me some nostalgia. I remember getting the Comic Issue that came with the ToyBiz Marvel Legends Human Torch that featured Hammerhead. I do remember him being stockier, but the figure looks so great. Kinda want a exosuit Hammerhead now.
A spectacular,sensational,amazing, ultimate review, David. I've wanted the Spider-man retro wave 2 ever since Hasbro announced its release. I still have it on preorder from BBTS but I've heard it will be coming sooner here in the States. I can't wait. I appreciate that you have done this review. Imo they all look epic. This wave will be mine.....oh yes......it will be mine. BWAHAHAHA!!!! Sorry......I got carried away there.
My goodness! What an excellent review. I laughed so much 😂. Especially on the Hobgoblin part it's so oh boy!😂 I'm going to keep that one in the box, because I already have the definitive Hobgoblin from toybiz😁.
@@DisplayingModelBehaviour definitely worth going to thier store..they have tons not on thier website...I found pizza spiderman in there loose and complete for a really good price
How does the Classic Retro Spidey head color match the new Ben Reilly Spidey in this review? The squinty eyed head is my favorite, and I was thinking of putting that head, on this Reilly Spidey!
@@DisplayingModelBehaviour oh my good ness thank you! I asked like 5 people on facebook posts & just got ignored repeatedly.. I like that head so much! (and your channel)
I think that hasbro had more potential to make the hobgoblin figure A LOT BETTER but besides that this wave is amazing Also my favorite figure of this wave has to be the symbiote spider-man
I’m just surprised they didn’t put the money into the hobgoblin given how well a really good animated series hobgoblin would sell

It’s those little touches that make the characters so human!
I love hammerhead. He just looks like a classic mobster. Imagine having a bunch of them with different heads. Youve got yourself a Mafia Family
Maybe we will see that!
Or better yet. Get a Vincent D'Onofrio kingpin head and paint the body black
@@patrickdupew9060 bruhhh
Would make a good punisher display
It looks like it does say “Head” but mirrored so that if he hits something, it will imprint as “HEAD”! At first I couldn’t make that out bc I didn’t realize it was mirrored. Love that detail!
That’s such a nice touch!
Yup.
I love how the Shocker’s quilting catches the natural light for the shadows. The face actually has an amazing expression for just a pair of eyes.
Exactly!
I love how you don't cover articulation and still manage to make a nice, lengthy video. I like Shartimus and Robo and dudes like that but holy shit most Marvel legends have the same amount of articulation.
Yeah I’m glad folks are happy for me to skip!
True
When you've been watching him for a year and realize you've never subbed because hes just always in your recommended
You monster!
Joking but seriously how do you not notice?
@@nylok4566 just never looked I thought I already had him subbed because he was every where on my recommend
@@radiodemonswing5683 fair

You’re both right. So much more they could have done!
Thanks for not getting bogged down in overly detailed boring ass articulation. You’ve renewed my faith in figure reviewers. Well done Sir.
Man thank you Jack! I only focus on the fun stuff!
I actually use the Ben Reilly head for Johnny Storm, and the Johnny Storm head for a kitbashed Flash Thompson
The packaging means nothing to me yet we're paying the same price for these figs as those with BAF parts. I don't get it.
I hear you brother!
Thank you for being so inspiring I’m only 11 and I’m collecting and you’ve helped me keep collecting through some things
I'm bummed, I really wanted this Hobgoblin. Not so much now. Thanks for the review
Al Capone used to beat people to death with a baseball bat. So it makes sense for hammer head to wield a bat as a homage to classic gangster style.
That makes sense!
Great presentation! Dave, I like Cartoon Hobgoblin! He's bright and colorful! But, then again, I love Tigra so...
The suited buck on Hammerhead is the same one they're using for Happy in the MCU Ironman 2pack, just painted Blue & pinstriped if I'm not mistaken.
Fwiw you mentioned that people say you're too negative. I think you are very fair with your criticism. I'd rather hear what you have to say as opposed to some of your counterparts on RUclips
Thanks Chris. I’ll keep being honest!
3:10 i wonder how is old mate David going to react when he realizes hammerhead’s body is re-use from happy hogan
If I don’t own it then it’s new to me!
I love how you do voices its one of my favorite part on your videos 🙏
What's funny is that when seeing the new Hobgoblin figure revealed, I thought the value of the old Hobgoblin would sink, since it's very expensive on Ebay. After seeing how it really looks in person, I doubt the value of the old one will change.

No waist joints in the Spider-Man figure is a deal breaker for me, but the eyes look amazing
Great video, you’re very charismatic. Subscribed. No way you’re 40…
Hey welcome to the channel Cody! And believe me, most mornings I feel every bit of 40!

It’s my pleasure dude!
nice review man! btw the armour spidey is based on the ps4 game model
Ah yes that’s right!
Astounding Mark Hamill as Hobgoblin impression! I expected them to reuse the crappy glider, but no excuse for using the wrong feet on him.
Thanks Ben!
remember Green goblin was a let down. now he's hard to come by
I pre-ordered the wave. Said it's gonna come in April I am fine with waiting a bit longer. Don't got the money yet and barely started my new job
I recently acquired the Ben Reilly, and oh boy I do love him
I mean, he's not anything from another world, but he is such a good, simple Spidey figure I just couldn't help it but to love him the moment I took it from the shelf

Yeah that kit bash works perfectly!
Your hobgoblin voice is on point 😂
I’ve been practicing! :)
I ordered the Ben Reilly one I can’t wait for him to arrive great review btw I love your enthusiasm
Thanks Jaden. Ben is awesome!
I do like the bright colours on the hobgoblin and was really looking forward 2 him but ya he's not the best. He will replace my McFarland demon hobgoblin on my spidy villain shelf and will 100% be finding ways 2 customize him and make him worthy of being the mark hamil version
That’s where the customization comes in! :)
Probably looking forward to Symbiote, Hammerhead, and Hobgoblin the most. Can’t wait for the wave to come in!
It’s a shame they have to cut corners on some figures because of budgeting. I wish they would make every figure unique but I know that’s not financially possible profit wise.
im over here with my pants still on and not drinking beer 😈😈😈
I'm a sucker for Hammerhead. Always dug the character.
Yeah they did him justice
Now it’s possible to make up Kingpins round table, hobgoblin, madame masque, tombstone, silvermane, chameleon, Typhoid Mary, mr negative, the hood, the rose, hammerhead, and jigsaw
Its the shoulder pads on mk 1 spiderman that throws it off. Same with modular iron man
Ah right, that makes sense!
I still like the hobgoblin because it looks pretty cool but it without the fish scales and weathered it on the glider I’m not gonna lie not the best
Could have been better!
Nice thorough review! Don’t agree with everything but very fair!
Thanks brother!
I feel like if they gave the vitage hobgoblin a updated head sculpt with larger eyes?
I don’t think so but I could be wrong.
Just wish shocker had butterfly joints.
The would have been nice!
I kind of liked all of them .
Yet I'm a big X-Men / Spider-Man Stan . Yes the Hobgoblin was a bit off but hey .
I'm going to take my Hammer Head and throw him in with my other gangsters . Need to find a suit for that Tombstone and figure it out the hands and neck . Got a Silvermane on a Ultron ( old one) body , Kingpin , Is that everyone in the Gangsterverse for Spidey ?
Arguably you could include Chameleon.
I think they should the Spider-Man nwh wave with comics clone saga characters and they should introduce them to the mcu
Man I’d love that!
Awesome impressions,dude. Mark Hamill was on point. You should voice him in a stop motion
As soon as I heard the phone ring I said snake hahahaha. And I was right. Can't forget that ring even if it's been like 24 years haha
It’s imprinted on our brains! :)
5:02 i got lasik surgery too and I totally get you lmao
Lol glad I’m not alone!

It's a good thing, because you aren't required to buy figures you don't want.
Absolutely Amazing
Lol yo that cyclops skit had me dying 😂
Bon jovi cyclops with the intro
He's gonna be useful
I’m so pissed that THIS will be my only hobgoblin figure…
I feel you!
Hunt for the toybiz version.
Yeah... Hobgoblin looks like he missed the mark. Unfortunate. I have Symbiote Spidey and Hammerhead pre-ordered. Thinking I maybe should have done Shocker and Ben too.
I recommend those two!
From worst to best hobgoblin 6 Ben Reilly 5 spider armor 4 symbiote 3 hammerhead 2 shocker 1
daamn! this wave convinced me to collect more Spider-Man figures rather then the x men
Did they use the chrome plastic for Spider Armor Spiderman. Chrome plastic, or whatever its called, always feels light and cheap.
They might be it.
Shocker and symbiote suit spidey are my favourite but I did like hob goblin except for the glider
I got these all on pre-order, I'm just waiting on them rn. Can't wait! Thank you for reviewing them :)
They’re worth the wait!
You’re so funny and showed your excitement at toys..like a boy having a toys from his parent. Like this channel…
I can’t help myself! :)
How does Shocker compare to the old one? The gauntlets looks a bit better so might have to get the new one too.
Oh he’s a huge improvement
I'm still waiting on my black suited spiderman figure it comes April :/ but the rest of the figures are awesome!!!
He’s worth the wait!
Nice Mark Hammil impression!
Hey DDMB 👋, good review for these new FIGURS.
I hope someone from hasbro watched this video I really wanted a hobgoblin I would have overlooked some mistakes but this has nothing good going for it
They need to give me their number so I can tell them directly!
Awesome video as always! I can't wait till this wave hits. From what I understand the Spider Armor Mk. 1 is from Spider-Man PS4. With that said, I'd love to have a Classic Spider-Man with the proportions of the Spider Armor mk.1 as I think it's a perfect balance between the Pizza Spidey and Retro Spidey buck.
Hasbro should really be ashamed and do new bodies for these figures specially the goblin
That was fun, good job 👏
Thanks man!
3:55 now I need to see an edit of thanos holding this figure out perfectly balanced to gamora and flipping it around his finger and catching it😆
Make it so!
I don't usually care for hammerhead but seeing this figure after seeing him in the recent Daredevil run, I kinda want it lol
Get him. He’s great!

Great, you picked Hammerhead!
Absolutely!
What glider is that on your hobgoblin
That’s an old Toybiz one.
I just ordered the shocker, I'm really excited about it, i can't wait till it gets here
They gave Spider-Armor MK 1 more detail because its based on the PS4 game
That armoires spider is not comic. That’s thing is Gamerverse or something. Not bad but glad I didn’t get it. All the other ones are great looking
Ah yes you’re right!
How do you know I’m NOT going to be rubbing that Spider Armor against my skin all day?
Ha! Lol
I wonder if AoA Cyclops will end up being your Big Time Let Down Spider-Man or your 'Gus' lol
Lol it’s totally going that way.
Ummm.. the Goblin glider looks like it matches the photo from the animated series you used..
I don’t think so myself.
I think that hasbro had more potential to make the hobgoblin figure A LOT BETTER but besides that this wave is amazing
Also my favorite figure of this wave has to be the symbiote spider-man
What's great is that even though I watched the 3 hour live stream I still want to watch this video 👌🏻
It's like waiting for a play to start
Ben reilly has always been my favorite Spiderman definitely stoked with new ben reilly from this wave getting one in both April and February
It’s such a cool costume!
Would've prefeered the "special claws" hands to the twiph hands, since the black costume shoots web with closed fists
Ah yeah, that makes sense!
Hammerhead and Symbiote spiderman definitely have a home on my shelf!
Always a honest review, " LEARNING TREE" bwhahaha get'm
Lol thanks brother.
Can you change heads on the new black spidey with the pizza black spidey?
Can you show the collection on your shelf??
I have a ton of display vides in the archive for you to check out! :)
Awesome intro skit!
That's the brown and yellow they need to do for the wolverine
Nailed it!
