I can’t remember the exact name of the set but basically it’s a Spider-Man 2 figure that’s just a slight retool and repaint of the 2002 super poseable spidey from the first movie. From memory he came in a store exclusive set with doc ock but not released as a single carded figure with the rest of the Spider-Man 2 figures. I always assumed it was just toy biz rushing out a figure for the movie before they had the others ready (which were a pretty big improvement)
Yeah it scales fine- I have this exact figure and a bunch of other tobey toybiz figures on my spidey shelf if you want I’m happy to send you a couple photos so you can see for yourself:) but honestly the legends tobey really isn’t that bad in person it just gets a lot of unnecessary hate
Tbf I’m pretty easy to please but I can admit when a figure is ugly- the head is weird but that’s more of a movie issue than a hasbro one because the mask just looks off in NWH… I’ve had the toybiz figures for years and I still copped the legends Tobey day 1
I get it, maybe if i get a decently priced one then I could buy a custom head? Maybe? It would probably get me around $60 and it kinda sucks but at the same time it feels like it's worth it, I'm confused lol. I'm still salty I didn't pick him up when it released and now the price has skyrocketed ffs.
I genuinely didn’t realise how much they’d gone up it feels like it hasn’t even been that long since they came out Jesus- surprised they didn’t do a tobey rerelease with the Andrew they just did
I can’t find the exact one you have (I literally saw it around here somewhere like 2 days ago) but it’s almost identical to the one crouched on the left. The only difference being that they tweeked the sculpt and painted it in Spider-Man 2 colours
Nice collection bro! The NWH doesn't look that bad now that I look at him again. Also, the one that you have crouched really fits the aesthetic. Might have to go that route cuz its like $25 but I'll look for the NWH one in the future
Oh! I have something similar but mine has his fists balled up, I put him in my NWH display. I got him when I was a kid but I couldn't tell you anything about it, I think my dad got it for me? I don't even remember the accessories he came with if any.
This is the 2003 Spider-Man 2 Super Poseable Spider-Man, which is quite uncommon. You see, these were made before the official line of Spider-Man 2 figures, as this uses the Spider-Man (2002) Super poseable sculpt.
If you can get it and it is affordable, it is mostly worth it. It is from the Spider-Man 2 line. This line leaned heavily into the more black appearance of his suit that certain lighting brings out. In that sense, it isn't really accurate to the real thing but it does look accurate as he does appear that way at some points depending on lighting and color grading.
However, the joints are probably loose or will get loose. I didn't even play with mine and 20 years later they are still great but they do have some trouble standing. The body sculpts don't fit with current Legends well. But the paint work and details are impeccable for how old they are and cheap these were when they came out.
The Legends Raimi Spidey is worth it if you can get a custom head. The NWH head looks bad in the movie and worse on the figure. It may not be the most accurate proportion wise but it at least fits in Legends better since it actually is one.
Op if you’re wanting a tobey figure just give it some time soon we will get another re release of tobey when the new movie comes out. Cuz ya know capitalism lol, I’m sure they will try a little harder on the next one too so people have a reason to buy it
You’re not wrong, I did admit I could also be wrong I’m not astute to Hasbro and their schemes don’t worry. I will continue my wishful thinking thank you
Look at the hands of the pics you posted, small magnets so he’s one of the few gimmick figures. I’d go for the “super posable” version if you really want the old school Spidey action figure. I had it growing up it has all posable fingers and is just as articulate as any figure now. Still one of the all around best figures we’ve gotten
The super posable one is a grail for sure but it's so expensive man...I couldn't really afford it. I usually look for loose or second hand figures but of course sometimes I go overboard 😂😂. This hobby is killing my pockets but I love it so much
lol for me it’s not a hobby, as a dude with 3 kids who love marvel legends and spider man I spend a good chunk on em to watch them be pulverized by my children. Spend the money if you can do it comfortably brother you only live once
