Awesome shots by Plastic Enemies.
Looks very poseable.

Ung...I'm soo torn.
I absolutely love the Medicom version, and I only want one version of this suit and I'm having a hard time deciding whether to cancel my PO or keep it.
First of, this did turn out to be a massive improvement over the proto.
LOVE the suit.
Its very much accurate to the suit in the movie.
The Spidey head is also overhauled immensely. the proto head looked cartoonish. Big difference now with the final sculpt.
And the body is not as bad as I thought. Also, I actually think the Garfield sculpt is not that bad, I do see the resemblance.
Yeah, the Garfield proto was better but this is not bad at all.
Now to cons...
The biggest issue for me is the eyes not being reflective and mirrorlike...and I dont know why HT decided to make it look like a honeycomb design instead of looking like lenses that has holes. HT Spiderman 3 was like this and I came very close to modding it to a glasslike lense.
Medicom got this right, and to me, I know its something simple, but one of the things that really make the medicom look cool is the mirror-like eyes. Its just really neat.
I know its something simple, but the effect in hand is just really cool.
The other thing is the stiching on top of the HT head...its so pronounced and my eyes are drawn to it.
I'm also concern about the loose material I'm seeing underneath the Jaw on a lot of pics...The HT Spiderman 3 I had...it had that loose material underneath the chin and it bugged me and forced me to pose him looking down most of the time. Not sure if its just loose on some like mine or its not bad at all on other figures.
And although the new HT body is greatly improved...I do still give a slight (very slight) edge to Medicom.
I almost cancelled my preorder earlier, but I'm having a hard time deciding.
Eitherway, this is a very cool figure by Hot Toys.
If I were you I'd stick with the Medi you already have. For those like me who don't, get the HT.
Damn those photos are pure sex!
I'm leaning towards this.

I canceled my po but then reordered
My medi should be here any day, only will keep one but need to be able to compare in hand
I'm wondering is like the other spideys, this ht doesn't have a big enough jaw

Well, after looking at the OMG set it appears that I still don't like the Garfield sculpt very much at all, but I have to say the suit and the body look very nice to me.
The articulation looks decent and they fixed that awful waist seam from the proto. Yeah, the eyes are still off from the Medicom version, but overall he still looks worth picking up.
Looks like I won't go after that Medicom after all.

Tried to come up with a good comparison, I still think it's a pretty good sculpt. Please note that the HT sculpt is slightly angled downward.

This may sound stupid but if they gave the sculpt fuller/bushier eyebrows it would be a huge improvement, IMO.Tried to come up with a good comparison, I still think it's a pretty good sculpt. Please note that the HT sculpt is slightly angled downward.

The only thing they got spot on is his nose and lips. The main issue I see is his eyes and his jaw structure.Tried to come up with a good comparison, I still think it's a pretty good sculpt. Please note that the HT sculpt is slightly angled downward.

The jaw differences are just duet do the subtle angle differences in the photos.
I agree on eyes though, they didn't make the almond enough, and the eyebrows could be a hair (or several) thicker.
I choose Medi over HT simply because of these photos:
And the Height is also my main concern, HT ver. is way too short and the body is too thin. In the movie, Andrew Garfield is toward a fit and toned body, please reference the photos below:
I will wait till the sequel to get the Garfield sculpt.

I would admit that I still think the medi body and proportions are a bit better.
I really think I'm leaning towards weathering or even battle damaging my HT once he arrives. Depends on the suit look and material in person though.

Swap the medicoms body into the HT's suit and swap the eyes for a winner.
