Marvel Spidey and His Amazing Friends Team Spidey and Friends Figure Collection 7pk, Black

Product Information

Where Firestar was the savior in appearance, Spider-Man rescues the grade for articulation, but just barely. All audio, visual and textual content on this site (including all names, characters, images, trademarks and logos) are protected by trademarks, copyrights and other Intellectual Property rights owned by Hasbro or its subsidiaries, licensors, licensees, suppliers and accounts.

There is a lower diaphragm hinge, which allows for better overall abdominal crunch, but also eliminates any waist pivot. His legs will barely reach 45 degrees in a split and though they can kick forward nicely, there is little to no back kick at all.If you have the Amazing Fantasy First Appearance Spider-Man, then you essentially have the Spider-Man from this package.

The upper thigh cut turns easily, allowing for some more dynamic posing and the pin less, double-jointed knees give Spider-Man the ability to kick himself in the rear end! In the series, Peter Parker ( Spider-Man ), Bobby Drake ( Iceman ), and Angelica Jones ( Firestar ) are all college students at Empire State University.

The double-jointed, pin less elbows bend all the way, allowing Spidey's hand to touch his head and each pair of hands hinges and pivots nicely! But even the best team sometimes needs a helping hand; that's when it's good to have allies like Ms.

Sadly this figure has the holes in the back of the biceps to accommodate web wings, which I haven't yet plugged in to see how they look on this one. Marvel's Spidey and His Amazing Friends follows the adventures of the Super Hero Spidey and all his heroic friends! To be honest, my biggest gripe is that the blue has scraped off in some spots on the joints and at his waist, revealing the red body mold underneath and that's been somewhat frustrating as it didn't seem to be a problem with the black and red version. The weblines on the costume are nicely applied, which is always a good thing and the belt design does carry over on the lower diaphragm joint to help maintain the look of the costume, though it is very odd looking when crunched forward.There is also a subtle, albeit noticeable difference in the blue on his upper and lower torso, due to the upper being blue paint on a red mold.

I've heard other reviewers say that using the Age of Apocalypse body with the animated paint job would have been a better choice and I don't disagree. Unlike the previous version, I can raise the arms out to a nice T pose on this figure and the shoulders rotate a full 360 degrees.

The wall crawling hands push them up from a 5 simply because it's always hit or miss to see a Spider-Man figure with wall crawling hands. The waist swivel is awful looking, at least the retro version had his floating belt to cover the hideous flat sections when turning the swivel side to side. The idea is that the light is perpetually hitting him on the left side as all of the darker shading is on the right. Using their fantastic powers, Spider-Man teams up with fellow heroes and former X-Men Iceman and Marvel’s Firestar to battle the world’s most dastardly villains from their secret crime-fighting lab. However, all three of these figures are based on pre-existing figures and don't come with anything different than the other offerings.
