I dunno about that shade of red, but that body is definitely on point and a major improvement over the HT one!
It really isn’t hitting the mark and you didn’t really address my points about Hot Toys’ quality and your “trade-offs”? Just kinda hand waved it off. Objectively, it is an inaccurate figure with QC issues figure on a premium line and others see that as well? There isn’t confirmation bias here.It looks great to me and it’s “Raimi Spider-Man“ which does check the nostalgia checkbox. If it didn’t look like it, it would miss the nostalgia checkbox. You can’t really separate that aspect can you? Just because it isn’t hitting your mark, you want everyone to see it your way (confirmation bias).
Not really sure what body the customizer usedWhat body is that?
It does, but Tobey wasn’t particularly buff in NWH. I’m hoping future versions will replicate the “wider” Spidey of SM2/3.Red didn't need to be darker but the body is a huge improvement. Actually looks like an adult on the right.
My guess is they didn’t use a new body, just sculpted on top of the existing body. My favorite part is the improvement to the neck joint and the suit stretched over it.
If only they actually used a material like this on the figure too. I dunno why Hot Toys is obsessed with making Red/Blue sections on Spidey figured out of 2 different fabrics.It does, but Tobey wasn’t particularly buff in NWH. I’m hoping future versions will replicate the “wider” Spidey of SM2/3.
Sure seems like you should have a good shot at a conversion based on this thread. I'm still in for him as well and got under the pre-order wire before it went wait list. Again, I'm displaying unmasked so the issues with the masked head don't impact me...Still in for this guy despite the issues (I totally get why people are cancelling). I've jumped on the waitlist at SS...presumably the chance of a conversion will be pretty good given the overall sentiment of disappointment.
I had them both pre-ordered, but thankfully Popcultcha allows you to cancel for store credit, so I did.Yeah, screw this and the Andrew Spidey.
Unfortunately I paid both those POs upfront so will still allow my Tobey-Man to be delivered instead of eating a 15% cancellation fee.
I didn’t think there’d be a chance in hell I could ever be disappointed in a Tobey Spider-Man.
*Hot Toys said “Hold my beer…”
Hopefully I can find a couple of chumps on eBay who can act as my means of getting a full refund for these failures.
