TOYs ERA - The Fiend

How did you manage that crouch pose?

 

[choombaz]

He’s not as crouched as he looks, it’s more the extreme angle from underneath, I was surprised how good the shots came out.

That's one bad ass pose!

 

[coasterbriam]

I have a glider I might be looking to get rid of if you're interested (wanting to keep just the figure)

I could use a glider if you are still looking to get rid of it!

After watching No Way Home...

Spoiler

I can def. see them not doing this version exactly, since it literaly has 2 seconds of screen time, but the tattered maskless costume, which would get us a Defoe headsculpt hopefully. I think it makes sense to buy this figure for the original costume, and the likely HT release of the new costume.

I could still see them doing it, it’s iconic and there’s still a lot of love for the Raimi movies.

Could be a good con exclusive?

Plus you kind of have to do the first one to get to the second one anyway? HT loves reuse.

Yeah his new look is just the old suit with some bits and bobs added for the most part.

Plus need need need a Dafoe head sculpt. So many custom uses for it!!!

Def. the goblin I want to have, especially if we get a Dafoe Headsculpt

I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again.. after watching the film… I don’t think there will be as many figures as what people predict.

What you don’t think there will be 300 Spider-Man’s (or is that Men) lol

I think if the pandemic gets worse and we have more year long delays of films, we may get more. Hard to predict.

IF HT make it, I hope there's an option without the glider. I'd buy this and then just swap it out onto the TE glider every now and then. Of course knowing HT they'll probably be d!cks about it and make sure this version's boots won't fit into the TE glider's stirrups.

Is anyone still selling the reissue of the deluxe?

Just checked, Giantoy still has it up. Thought I heard pre orders were stopping soon for it.

What's everyone's thoughts on this TE version vs the new HT version? I have the TE version pre-ordered and I'm thinking of just keeping this over the HT release. After shipping and taxes, the HT goblin will be almost $200 more plus it won't be released in the states for another 18 months to 2 years.

Obviously the HT comes with the head sculpt and the glider has more detail and articulation. The figures themselves look very similar with settle differences in how the armor is. I'm also holding out hope that HT releases the BD hobo goblin and I will have this TE version and the HT hobo goblin.

This didnt age well

Yeah, unfortunately we didn't get the figure we actually saw in the movie (I get that we saw the original Raimi costume for literally 2 seconds. ) But HT will see this as a double-dip opportunity no doubt for the character.
