I was really let down by the Tobey Spidermen figures that came from NWH. They all have such dumpy silhouettes and odd proportions. Your modifications atleast make the figure alot better than the standard release. Have you though of buying the KO of the old Spiderman 3 revoltech figure? Modifying that guy could make for an interesting video down the road.

How many action figures has Hasbro made at this point? And they still can’t grasp the concept of how to properly incorporate a dumbbell joint in the neck or just choose not to implement it correctly. Large ball needs to be seated up higher in the neck and then a smaller ball going into the head and you’ll have full range.
