Medicom Amazing Spiderman

[Lawrence]

Does he have a broken right ankle?

No. It's articulated there

hey cool buddy , thank Lawrence i see the pics now i see your using the EB stand. hmmm i not even tried the medi ones .

No worries

Yeah, I'm using the EB stand now. Like I said earlier in my review, the Medicom stands can hold certain action poses, but I feel safer using the EB stand, even though it isn't nice & clear like the Medicom one.

I see! Well it probably looks normal in hand I imagine.

Wish I could pick this up. Doubt HT will trump it.

The more I see this figure, the more I'm starting to dislike the costume now for some reason.

I am also starting to dislike the neck/neck length. I think that it is just off. The head itself may look better but the neck looks too long.

To me at least. Now I am really confused!

The ankles doesn't look like it has any joints, plus the neck looks to thin since medicom didn't pad it out, making the fabric too loose, even on the box pic.

That box pic is a real "Friday afternoon" choice - looks like a week old satsuma.


..... Or Yoda's scrote dipped in red dye.... Takes yer pick.

Wrinkly and red it is, yes, mmmmmm.

The ankle articulation I think is similar to other Medicom feet.

With all the things that I saw on the fig that could have been noticeably better, I can't say the neck size was one of them. Looks alright to me. As for the wrinkly neck pic shown on the box art:

Ignore that proto pic. It's not like that. Even with multiple pose changes.

 

[DGTWoodward]

That looks kind of long to me, from the base of the skull to the trapezoidal junction is one heck of a stretch...Medicom's proportions, whist being better than HT's, are still not right.

Imagine AG wearing a Spidey mask in this pic:

Medicom Spidey's neck might even be shorter in comparison.

Wow! He really does have a long neck doesn't he? Ok, too short then...told you it was wrong...sorta, you know..

 

[Lawrence]

You win then

Since Snake pointed out the weird ankle on my other pose, I decided to tweak my display pose

 

[JamesHBK]

That is so innovative Lawrence! What a great pose.

 

[Cap'n Cook]

Amazing.

 

[Lawrence]

Thanks James & Snake

It can be a fun figure

 

[DGTWoodward]

I really do love the Spidey character, so despite how my posts read, I am conflicted as to which one to buy. I can see great things and poor things in both and it is driving me nuts!!!

 

[Lawrence]

That's why you get both

HT Spidey is like half a year away from expected release, & even then it might not release on time. If anything, this could be a nice "place holder" for the HT figure

I feel that the HT version might wind up being the finer, better quality product. So if you really had to choose one, & only one, I might wait for that. I think HT will tweak their figure for the better. It would be cool to have a similar (or even better) experience with another nice Amazing Spiderman figure.

For now, I'm cool messing around with this figure

Edit: If HT decided to make a fabric covered Spidey sculpt with correct coloured eyes ..... Woh. It's not really a problem, but sometimes having a plastic Spidey mask, like the Medicom, can look a bit too "toyish" sometimes. I mean look at Medicom's MAFEX Spidey figure:

The MAFEX head sculpt might be able to pass as the head sculpt for the 1/6 Medicom figure

Have you considered using Medicoms clear stand with the large waist loop instead of the a black stand?

 

[Lawrence]

I was using it, but I don't feel my figure is as safe, displayed (in action poses) in my cabinet with the Medicom stand. I prefer to use the black Enterbay stand for now. It's alright because the cabinet it's displayed in is black, so the stand blends in alright
