If there’s one line that collectors will back it’s Marvel Legends. Even with toy prices now even higher at $19.99 a figure, The Amazing Spider-Man & Captain America Marvel Legends lines are disappearing from toy shelves the moment they are put up. This is not the case with all the figures in the line as Superior Spider-Man, The Amazing Spider-Man, and the Captain America figures are usually last to sell on the pegs.
The Superior Spider-Man is actually Peter’s nemesis Dr. Otto Octavius reformed and takes over Peter’s body and wants to be a better Spider-Man than Peter ever was. The ongoing series is written by Dan Slot and had replaced the long running The Amazing Spider-Man comic book series.
The breakdown of build-a-figure parts included in the assortment is as followed:
- Carnage/Toxin (swap figure) – Head
- Electro – Left Arm
- Amazing Spider-Man Right Arm
- Black Cat/Black Widow (swap figure) – Torso
- Beetle/Boomerang (swap figure) Left Leg
- Superior Spider-Man – Right Leg
Availability: January 2014
Sculpt:
Superior Spider-Man has an all-new sculpt with realistic body proportions and super poseable. He includes interchangeable hands with open fisted and web shooter hands that are all on ball joints.
His sculpt and articulation allows you to recreate most of Spidey’s comic book poses.
Paint:
When you get a figure like Spider-Man, it might become difficult to find a figure without any line smears or smudges. This figure is near perfect as all the lines are crisp. The suit is painted in black and red with brown eyes.
Articulation:
Ball hinged head, ball hinge shoulders, swivel shoulders, double jointed elbows, swivel biceps, swivel hinge wrists, ab crunch, waist rotation, ball jointed hips, swivel thighs, hinged knees, swivel and pivot ankles
Accessories:
Interchangeable hands x4.
Overall:
This figure is simply perfect in regards to proportions, articulation, and has a superior sculpt over basically any Marvel Legends Spider-Man action figure ever released. Hasbro has raised the bar to new highs with this figure and we look forward to what they have in store next.
Highly Recommended.
