The only thing i'm not a fan of is the neck joint, i see why it's done that way but would have preferred another solution using the standard neck peg. That join around the neck looks bad in every pic i've seen. Other than that i'm fairly impressed with it, suit looks very accurate, spidey sculpt looks good and the eyes aren't as bad as previous pictures seemed to indicate. Not a fan of the neck tho so will have to come up with a way to make it look better or pose him so it can't be seen
 
Buying this figure isn't a good idea for a collector. There will be a new Spiderman movie and whole new, different, better and comic book maching costume.

It's a dead-born figure.
 
Exactly.

Or want a progression of suits display. Either way, the ASM2 spidey will be years off.



You could say the same about all the Iron Flan figures but people still lap that **** up.
 
I like this costume because its different, because it isnt comic book accurate. Its an improvement IMO. That said, I dont see this going up in value at all. Not an investment piece if you ask me.
 
Looks good to me. Enough I placed an order this morning from ToyAnxiety. It will be a good looking display with the suit progression.

Posters on this board are so dramatic about everything. A figure is either the second coming of Christ or an abomination that has killed their children. Is it perfect? No. But comparing it to toy isle figures is a touch over board I think.

When I get it, I think Im going to weather it up a bit.

I dont think so. I think people might start appreciataing the design more as being unique.
I quite like the different take on the spiderman suit design and wish they would of kept more aspects of it with the new "old" costume design in ASM2.

At first I was rooting for a more comic inspired suit, but now seeing that I got my wish, it does look out of place, like its too Cartoony looking. The bright colors, the big eyes... Not sure why. Hopefully post editing will make this suit look more in place.
 
Today's photos sealed the deal for me. I thought I liked the Tobey movie version of Spider-Man and then Garfield came along and really embodied the role for me.

I think the figure looks great! Just pre-ordered at BBTS for $189.99 + shipping.
