My brother started collecting marvel legends Spider-Man figures about two years ago. In the time we have only ever seen 1 classic, blue and red Spiderman on a retail shelf. It was the cell shaded version and it felt like he won the lottery. Never saw one before or since. It feels like recently any classic Spiderman is always included in multipacks or online exclusives. Walking into a store and picking up a classic representation of a character on a whim or as a last minute gift seems to be a thing of the past.

Yep I've been collecting Legends since around 2014 and classic Spidey is ALWAYS the one everyone wants so he's pretty much always the hardest to get! That's why I always recommend people to pre-order that one if another comes out. Besides him(and classic Hulk) and certain retail exclusives, nearly everything else will go on discount/clearance if people are just patient!

Still on a hunt for some classic renditions of classic characters though. Hulk is a big one. Def gotta get him. More just lamenting how these things aren’t readily available. I also live in an are without any toy or comic stores so there’s no dedicated place around me for this kinda stuff.

That's awesome! Which classic Hulk are you deciding between? I think the 20th is solid, but I think 80th is closer to what I imagine in my head. Though I'm sure we'll get another green Hulk in the future as well. And yeah I hear you. I'm fortunate that I live in an area with lots of Targets, Walmarts, etc so I have a lot of options but I've read of plenty of people that only have the one or two stores within a reasonable distance to them. Though depending on where you live if you have an Ollie's you can get quite a few figures at amazing prices. I'm definitely not in that area of the country and am very jealous of my friends that are!

I really want to see Spidey 2099 on the RYV body. I think that would be great!

I think the RYV body works waaay better for the black costume than it does for the red and blue suit. My main mvl Spidey is the Target version of the AF 15 figure, and I honestly think that mold is the best MVL Spidey so far. The colors look real nice, I love the head, he feels great (mine has no qc issues thank god) and he poses great. As for why the RYV doesn’t work for red and blue, its bc I think he’s too big. He’s either as tall or taller than a lot of his villains, which doesn’t look right. I think why it works for the black suit is because you kinda want the black suit to be more imposing, plus the cell shading (at least on the retro VHS two pack version) looks pretty good. Also, that Spider-man 2 video-game figure looks like garbage. No sculpted anything, not even the spider symbol. They just took the RYV body and slapped some new paint on it. That blue is also really ugly. Edit: Who started the whole “Uhm actually the AF 15 suit was blue”. THATS JUST HOW THEY DO BLACK COSTUMES IN OLD COMICS. Look at the black suit, or black panther, or batman, or venom. They all have blue shading. They’re all still black costumes.

@ComicallyToys

6 ай бұрын

I hear what you mean about the more imposing style of the RYV figure, but I think it also ends up depending on the artist because some have made him pretty bulky in his standard costume, and others have made him very lean like the Pizza Spidey body. I like both! And yeah totally! I actually learned that Spider-Man 2099 was actually ALSO supposed to be a black suit, but since they used blue for shading that they eventually just officially made it blue.

As a new collector I only got AF and RYV, I hope they will make 2099 in a better mold, not Pizza Spidey.

I've been missing your videos! I really enjoyed seeing all the different Spidey's in this one! I failed to get Retro Peter Parker when it first came out. I think that I have to seek him out soon. My top 3 favorite Marvel Legends Spideys: 1) Spider-Man from the Amazing Friends 3-pack (it's the 60th Amazing Fantasy in his better known comic book colors) 2) Amazing Fantasy Spider-Man! His original look, and super-articulate! 3) Retro Spider-Man (the most recent one with alternate, Ditko looking head. I'd like to get the cel shaded animated Spider-Man, but I don't love the eyes on the mask. I'd have to repaint that.

@ComicallyToys

Жыл бұрын

Thank you! The RYV is personally my favorite Spider-Man of the Legends line. The things I like about the RYV is that the weblines are bigger, the colors are brighter, bigger eyes on the head, you get more hands, AND you get a civilian head. It does have the articulated toe as well, but that's not a major selling point for me. Plus if you can get the RYV 2 pack at retail(which might be possible still) then you also get the MJ/Spinneret figure that comes with a nice civilian head for MJ that you can do an easy custom civilian MJ with. The retro one from 2020 was a big deal at the time because up until then we only had the original, retro pizza, and 2 different Ultimate versions(but they were kid sized so I think less appealing for a lot of people) to choose between. So the 2020 retro was pretty hyped up because it was his first "bulky" body type release in the Legends line. So it is a solid figure for sure, but my preference is still the RYV one! Though depending on what you might have to pay for him, you might want to consider getting the Mafex Spider-Man as well.

@@ComicallyToys The mafex spiderman is significantly better than anything that hasbro has made, or will make...so I think buying that means you probably don't need to worry about a new spiderman for a decade or so. I don't know how you'd get to Hasbro holding up well unless it's 100% based on the fact that it's cheaper. However, I'd argue that with Hasbro you're going to be looking at a new one every year or two (that will still be worse than mafex), so unless you either don't care about getting a better one or are able to sell your old ones, you're going to end up spending pretty close to mafex prices by the end of it. Especially if Hasbro keeps raising prices.

@ComicallyToys

11 ай бұрын

Just to be clear, this is all very subjective. "Better" will always be dependent on each person. As an example on the Mafex I don't really like the tiny ankles and feet. Sure it has MORE points of articulation, but those points of articulation don't mean that much to me because at least to me, they are so minor that I don't even remember that they exist. Now on Hasbro the QC isn't always great. I've had several with issues. And their lack of accessories often times really frustrates me. The fact that every single Spider person doesn't come with web hands, crawling hands, and fists is just so stupid to me. Costs are going up for sure, but they'll never reach Mafex levels. I actually don't think we'll be getting a new Spider-Man(in his main costume) again for a little while. There was quite a long period between each Spidey(main costume) release for awhile. Last year was the anniversary so they really pumped out a bunch, but with that over I think it'll be some time before they do another. Though to be fair the difference is 2-3 years vs 1-2 years(your point) so that's probably negligible.
