Super Freak
After CR Supes and Ezio, this figure is next on my list of acquisitions.
You were talking Terminator the other day. Superman, Terminator, and Spider-Man here have to be three of the most essential Hot Toys figures I own. Up there with Batman Begins Batman. If I had to sell every Hot Toys figure I had, I figure these would go last. Spidey has his flaws. I think the body proportions are a bit off, the mask could work a bit better, the red pegs are way too brittle, and they could use a more durable material for the webbing on the suit. But still a great figure, and one of my favorites because it's a pretty close to comic-accurate Spidey.After CR Supes and Ezio, this figure is next on my list of acquisitions.
Don't get it twisted, the black suit is a must for me as well, but like Superman there are a ton still out there for grabs. Here's why I love the Black suit.
Finally got my R&B Spider-Man. Looks great next to my Black Spider-Man.
You are correct sir. The all black spidey would be a catastrophe. People would scream for it but once its in hands there would be an uprising against just how underwhelming in detail it is.
The trouble is, in a comic, it looks fantastic. But aside from the white eyes and spiders, it's totally featureless. In any scale that would look so boring. There is nothing to it. Even the thing that makes it work as an art piece - the beautiful contrast of clean white on pitch black - would work against it as an actual costume..
There's always the Medicom one.Shame though.
my back in black comiquette proves you wrong
Very true indeed.There is much more detail in this fine statue than there ever could be with 12" action figure with a real cloth costume. Just look at the beautifully defined musculature on display here, the clean cut lines of a superhero that is ripped to shreds, the way a superhero should look.
It really is a piece of art.
Now try and do that with fabric. Mmmmmmya, that's what I thought.
