I hate to say it, this release CANNOT be saved. Too much wrong. No real word from Hot Toys...

This is a disaster. I am not sure how someone can defend this? This isn't a paint job thing or some small thing, it's his face, and his neck and what a mess by hot toys..just what a mess.
 
I feel like a two pack with a permanently unmasked Peter Parker would be my favored solution to the swappable headsculpt problem. While I appreciate HT's attempt at a better solution than their previous fully suited neck, or the 3rd party neck condom (lol), I still feel like the most accurate looking and least goofy would be a a straight up unmasked bonus body. It'll never happen, obviously, but a guy can dream.

This was my (permanent) mod on a Holland figure. With the new Toby design's neck, it just won't be possible. :( So I'm stuck with their detached neck solution.

Your permanently masked or unmasked figs definitely look the best, but keep in mind Hot Toys has shown a prototype where the neck seam is almost non-existent too; they just totally botched production on the Tobey figure.

I would be thrilled if they got this close with the production piece. Just bummed that it took so long to figure it out, and my favorite suits have already been made with their older goofier looking necks.

Howard clearly has a favourite Spider-Man.

Tobey and Andrew both botched.
Nah I think the company just is so deep in Disney crap that they given more money to produce Disney stuff compared to things not made by Disney. However spiderman merch is Disney owned so I don’t get them always doing Hollander so well when Tobey and Andrew have more praise then he does as Spider-Man
 
Look, is it better? Yes.

But something is still super off about the mask. Is it the head shape?

But man does this look like a cheap figure next to the Holland figures.
I agree. I believe it has alot to do with the head shape and the color of the lenses. If the frames were silver and the lenses had that cloudy effect it would look better.

Unfortunately, the NWH suit was downgraded and didn’t have those features. The lens was all black and they took away the gradient effect on the lens.
