Hot Toys - MMS143 - Spider-Man 3 official specs and pics

He doesn’t have the cgi weightlessness that the newer versions have.

The same sort of thing was said about Tobey at the time. Roger Ebert wrote this:

Remember the first time you saw the characters defy gravity in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon"? They transcended gravity, but they didn't dismiss it: They seemed to possess weight, dimension and presence. Spider-Man as he leaps across the rooftops is landing too lightly, rebounding too much like a bouncing ball. He looks like a video game figure, not like a person having an amazing experience.

Great piece, his swinging does look a bit off, especially in the first one, it's pretty bad. Can't blame it really, movie came out in 2002.

Can you walk us through your mods? Obviously a cut job on the head and neck to reveal the Toby head and looks like you modified or changed the body under the suit. New foot pad soles as well.

I felt like Tobey really resembled the earlier Spiderman comics. Less jokes, more dynamic strength.

Looks good!

From what I see, you used the HC Spidey web shooters and hands, albeit this Spider-Man has organic web powers. It seems you changed the underlying body, if I had to guess it's a phicen/tb league.

I did and old mod from youtube to make the masked head separate from the body.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c8rlSC7yE1Y go to 2:36 in the clip and he talks about the mod.
I then cut horizontal along the webs and the blue part meet up. That allowed me to remove the suit. I placed it on a TbL m32 body (see page 870). Went with the HC web shooters because it covered the arms/wrist. The original hands are just to tight to put on on the Tbl wrist pegs. I'll have to mod those by making the hole in each hand larger. I snapped two wrist pegs just trying the swap out the hands on the original body and is one of the reason I tried a body swap. I also had to new soles for the bottoms of the boots as they are not one piece on the original body. They are 4. I used tree of the four parts and had to provide new feet so they would attach to the TbL ankle peg.

It was not easy and I would not suggest you try this unless you have modded many figures before this. I'm still happy I did this as now I have a figure that I can animate and is super posable. Medicom Rah Spiderman was one of the best, as far as posing, but that body was way to fragile and broke many times when I did my movie (four times). I think this Tbl conversion will stand the test of time.

Cool thank you.

That’s an awesome mod. Here’s a battle damaged I did with some similar techniques that I later sold. My big regret is not changing the body like you did.

WOW! Thanks came out great. I wonder if the body I used M32) was around when you did your custom?

 

[Zurdo95D]

A battle ravaged Spider-Man

That is excellent!!! If it was a release, I'd buy twenty.

 

[ironwez20]

I wish they’d go back to the earlier movies and come up with a spidey 2 version.

 

[DioramaMaker]

That was my favorite Toybiz fig back in the day. Well done!

Thanks guys! The m32 was out actually and I even thought about it but from experience the phicens are too tall for most heads as they seem to make the heads appear small. But seeing your mod it looks perfect!

Awesome mods in here. One of my favs was the marvel zombies mod someone did here.

 

[Jameson Rook]

I was wondering, does this figure hold up? I always held off getting a 1/6 Spidey because I wanted the classic comic version but it looks like that might never happen so this is probably the next best thing. Is this figure hopelessly outclassed by today's standards?

 

[Furyan]

If your patient I can almost guarentee a suit that's closer or even the classic suit. Plenty of $$$ on the table Hot Toys wont leave sitting around there. As for this figure it's still an excellent figure to own. Not super outclassed by any means imo.

Sorry for the historic thread bump, but after one of these if anyone has one in good condition to sell.

 

[jedijim3002]

I?m hoping with the Marvel?s Spider-Man game line we?d get a newer version of the Raimi suit Spider-Man.
