Thiiiiis is about as extreme as I'll be posing my fragile little guy........

Looks great to me.

Can't wait for mine to arrive.

This Spider-Man was starting to grow on me but now idk. Spidey suppose to have extreme poses so idk anymore.

Man... Suit does look awesome.

Despite his shoulder problem, i have no issues with him, his proportions seem fine in hand and in a ''hero'' museum pose he looks awesome to me no regret in getting him.

Likewise, I love him.

I have just been on Hot Toys facebook page and this is all they talk about, even for other figures like Thor. So looks like a wide spread problem.

I was there yesterday and it was just the same two guys posting over and over. At this stage it's just isolated panic spreading i think

Yeah, I went over to have a look today, just saw a couple of posts by the same guy.

To those who currently have the figure in hand, how possible does it seem it would be to pull the extra fabric surrounding the neck peg up and around a neck piece to get a seamless look with AG sculpt on?

So if you hold the shoulder joint in place and only move the arm in one direction at a time you're taking the best precaution?

It won't happen without modification. Its just not designed to work that way.

He's already rowing on me but I just wish he had some muscle and was taller.

I'm really not worried about the shoulders. Not at all. If the shoulders on mine breaks, then that'll suck, but I'm not going to lose sleep over it. And the good thing about it is that the suit is so tight, that if the shoulders break, it visually shouldn't be too noticeable. Posing would be a challenge, of course, but I just can't bring myself to be stressed over it. I paid for this figure a long time ago. I've waited so long. At this point, I just want him.

 

[Uncanny Web-Slinger]

I can understand that. 90% of the time it's on the shelf, since the suit contains it and it doesn't look any different then 90% of the time it's not a worry.

I'm not going to perform any stress tests on mine but if you're posing his arm and you encounter resistance, stop. Sucks that Clipper had to be the guinea pig for the rest of us, so for that good sir, we thank you.

I'm waiting on my second figure from Timcent and a spare masked head. Once I get those in hand, I'm going to attempt to remove the mask. It really seems like it'll just slide off once you take off the lenses and cut around the base. Fingers crossed. I'll be sure to report success or failure.

Yes, I think so mate.

I did the same, but the head is so cool, i haven't had the heart to do it yet.

It's certainly possible they oversold in Asian markets and now are either doing another run or contemplating just not bringing it stateside. With all the new stuff coming out, another run could push back lots of other stuff and not be worth it to HT.

Just wild speculation, of course.

I really doubt they would not make another batch to go out to the other markets. They have already sold X amount to places like SSC. They would lose a huge amount of money if they killed those sales plus it would be a PR nightmare.

Mine haven't broke since i like my museum poses as i mentioned and once i find a pose very rarely do i repose. So as it stands this is how he is on my shelf and he looks ruddy awesome and does me just fine for an ASM representation.

I've also contemplated picking up a second masked head to try and get a loose mask as the garfield sculpt is kind of growing on me.

Out of curiosity How many people actually posed their R&B or black suit spideys in real dynamic poses for long periods of time anyway without fretting over the suit before you put him back in a normal stance?.
