I still find it hilarious that he rejects the suit (and Avengers membership) at the end of Homecoming, and it’s treated as this big character moment….
I strictly place one figure per shelf/detolf cabinet spot, and I still would not have the diorama piece that is offered here. The main aspect of these figures for me is the realism. The random block of clean cut 'building', for me takes away from the aesthetic appeal because it's incomplete, and thus looks unnatural/odd sitting on a glass piece or any shelf, whereas a figure on its own looks like it's genuinely living and breathing in that display cabinet. That's how I see it. Crowding figures has nothing to do with it.
To be fair, all of the MCU Spider-Man suit designs have been underwhelming. FFH was ok, but they just don't have the same effect that the old superhero costumes. All the recent MCU costume designs look very lazily done - Shangi Chi, Black Widow etc. The last good one was Cap and Bucky from TWS, and Bucky from CW.
This base especially has multiple display possibilities with many different ways to perch the figure atop of it; I thought they did a good job of showing that off in the promo photos.
Big expensive add-ons should definitely remain optional and like you say up until this point they have been. I imagine they made an exception in this case because it’s just a soiled “movie promo” version of a figure they’ve already released and that is still widely available for purchase.
Agreed . I think that this is a great display base for a spider-man figure, and I'm not a die-hard diorama guy. he is after all, "the wall-crawler, web-slinger, etc"... spider-man standing alone in a museum pose doesn't capture the essence of the character as much as it would with captain america or others. Spider-man's main mojo is hanging from, crawling up, or swinging from buildings. I think this is a great set for a MCU "classic" spider-man look
That's exactly the point. They give these diorama's to increase the asking price, but not only is it undesired by some, but the diorama's themselves are never really brilliant pieces by themselves (from an artistic viewpoint), they are restricted and unnatural-looking, like this one.
Ultimate HT power move would be putting the reissue Iron Spidey in a 2 pack with Doc Ock.Well Spider-Man is new Iron Man so there'll be multitudes of Spidey figs available
Agreed, I think the IW needs some improvements, though it seems it was rushed out the gates since IW and EG were close in releases. Hmmm, perhaps a 2.0 will be revealed in the coming weeks for NWH? lol
I must admit I was not too fond of the IS suit design. I was curious to see how the suit would be adapted from the comics, and I do think it's a good adaptation, but for some peculiar reason I didn't find it alluring.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but this one didnt have much if at all any bd, but the FFH one had a ton.
You are correct aside from his face..the black and red suit had zero damage and he also never wore his mask half way in the NWH film..either completely off or completely on , so I don’t see the logic of calling this version under theNWH banner
I prefer clean figures. Essentially has them in all their glory IMO. Which makes me hope for a clean Goblin like in the trailer and then a hoodie you can put over him.
