I'm gonna redo his whole face. At some point. Having both this and Medi in hand now, I can draw a few (of my own conclusions) The HT is beautifully made, the suit is wonderful. The head is fantastic, maybe a little big (or body too small) the boots, mostly everything is great. But! Not enough hands for posing. It's either fists or webs, nothing in between, the medi has some wonderful
hand poses. The eyes? they are made a lot better than the medi but they really missed a trick with the reflectivity. I'm not gonna talk about the Garfield sculpt, it's all been said before. Maybe it's a little better than I thought it was gonna be. But for display presence, Medi wins, despite its faults, it's inferior suit, it's weird feet, it just looks cooler standing there IMO. It's the slope of the shoulders and neck I think, just the slender tall look of it. But the HT is wonderful if you don't have the Medi. The HT wins on practically every area of production. Seriously impressed with the HT suit. and all of this is completely subjective.

And why are some people saying you can't move the web shooters? They are just attached to the fabric, you can just twist them?

But if you twist them would they stay in place? Will the suit material just go back to its original position? For example if I wanted to make the web shooters face upwards.

Well mine stay if I twist the fabric from the shoulder maybe they are all slightly tighter or looser. Anyway a tiny dot of fabric tape will keep them wherever you want.

Rory, that Parker custom is insane, I love it! Where do you even start with that sort of thing?

Damn I need some skills!
Thanks man, I started to put that together with bits and pieces when this figure was announced. God knows it's been headless for long enough! :lol
 
It's weird, one of my favourite things about this Spidey is his ears. HT gave him some inside his mask, and they look brilliant, they really make it look like there is a head in there.
:clap

I actually have two of them, I wanted to really mess one up, and yeah was thinking about taking one of the masks off. It's definitely possible. You can wedge the eyes off easily, but I think the mask may rip if you try to strip it off the head. Hmmmm...

Awesome bash Rory.

Waiting for OSB for mine :(

Thanks man, I'm sick of looking at the thing, the wait has been too long. I think you will be very happy with him mate. He is a really solid figure. They got so many things right.
 
Finally, he's got a head.

Done and thanks!
 
Bit of a better pic of mine. Museum pose does me fine. I know its spider man but don't really like dynamic poses on a shelf, i can appreciate them though and those are some killer poses clipper.

Not aimed at you directly but what are the lumps around the top of the biceps/armpits and around the bottom of the shoulders?

Not sure, thought it was the suit at first, but upon feeling it there seems to be something under there what feels like a small piece of padding where the bicep swivel is. It's no doubt on them all You can see it on one of clippers pics too, just more noticable on mine because of the light/non dynamic pose.
