I still need Scarlet Spider. One of my faves in comics, though I’m deterred from most aftermarket prices…

Although the Tobey Spidey looks interesting, the Classic remains the only Spidey I need for the moment. I got it into a dynamic pose, the suit hasn't given me much trouble, it looks perfect for my needs. I only need it to do one thing, really. I don't intend to switch out the pose.
(Still haven't even opened my second copy, I really should to check it for QC).

All of my spiderman videogame figures have had those "flaws". Luckily I dont pit them under my electron microscope
It’s worth it!

Hate to say it, but the Zombie Hunter Spidey actually looks better than this version!

It looks good, but I'm not sure it looks better. It is a really nice design (outside of the cape which is of course story-specific) ...

As a kid, I used to carry around my Mego Spider-Man everywhere. I took a ball point pen and drew in the web lines on his face (as they where blank indented lines). I’d climb up my favorite tree with Spidey in hand and just imagine for hours. I’d color in my Spider-Man coloring book and watch the cartoon (the 60’s one with the classic theme song). I’d watch The Electric Company just in the hopes of seeing Spider-Man in live action, and then had to convince my parents to stop whatever they wanted to watch with the 70’s live action specials where aired.
I cut up a red t-shirt and tried to make a Spidey mask. I cut out metal screens for the eyes… not the brightest idea, as the metal edges scratched up my face. But, hot damn! I had a Spider-Man mask!
I haven’t gotten a new Spider-Man figure until now. I almost pulled the trigger on a few, but none had the allure like the classic suit. I never thought I’d have so much fun opening this guy up. It took me right back to the day I was in the tree with my Mego. The tree is gone now, but I gots me a new a Spidey!

great post. I have that same mego spidey. This should have come with the web backpack
That was a really enjoyable read and wow what a beautiful pose! Love the camera.
This is one figure I know I'll never sell regardless of the suit bunching issues. Classic suit can't be topped.

This line did very well for Hot Toys which means the rubber suit will continue on. It's unfortunate, but people buy this because they're worried a better version wont come out in the future. It would be great if InArt would some day acquire the spiderman license.
For posing, you have to go down to 1/12 scale. I love the Sentinel Spiderverse figures. So easy to put into tons of dynamic poses with minimal effort.

So the suit is rubber? I just don't see it lasting very long. I would buy this in a heartbeat if I was convinced.

It's not rubber. Some kind of vinyl. Looks plenty durable to me.

Finally got my figure last night and just got him out of the box now....
Holy cow. Seriously.
Pictures do NOT do this thing justice. The contrast in the red and blue in person is stunning.
Worth every penny.

This is a nostalgia fueled figure if there ever was one for me. While not perfect this well represents the late 70’s, early 80’s Spider-Man I fondly remember.
He definitely pairs well with Green Goblin. I’ve got a wall mount display planned for them both with a 1981 Spider-Man comic to go in between.
