Yeah I'm not seeing much point in this figure either. Especially since the only damage it took was having a bunch of yellow paint dumped on it. Lol
That is why i am getting it to put with Mysterio.Kind of wanted this prior to the film, but after seeing it I’m glad I held off. This really does feel like it should be under the Far From Home line instead of the No Way Home one.

Right. And I get that they can't put actual tears in the costume for that reason. And those really cool custom versions are basically statues at that point. But I think there's a lot more that could be done with just paint.I was thinking about this again recently - why Hot Toys don't do battle-damaged Spidermans - is it because they can't mass produce accurate looking battle-damage to a costume such as Spiderman's? And with the costume being a thin material stretched over an articulated doll body if they put actual holes in it those holes would get larger and larger with use till eventually the outfit would disintegrate?
I agree that the "battle damage" is really half-ass. Just looks like the guy putting it in the box got broken sharpie marker all over his fingers first.
Paintwork on the sculpt is really nice though, little step up I think from the Far From Home release. Definitely has not gotten any softer in details from reuse.

Shame it looks like a swimming cap and goggles from a distance. But the only real reason to get this set is for that cool diorama base.

I'm already happy with the FFH figure, but shoot I may bite for that new diorama
I was thinking of picking up the Dio as it would work for Toby Spiderman too
