I thought this would be a fun idea. I purchaced a figure today that everyone should avoid and I'm sure others have as well so they can add theirs and comment on others.
But today I got the Spiderman movie re-releases of the Black Spiderman swarming over the red and blue costume. It looked like a nice figure and was different from what has been around. Well I open it up and it sucks so bad!
The figure from what I can tell, seems to be an amalgam of different spiderman figures pieced together. The chest is from the Origins figure with the flipping base. You know, where his neck is bent down so he can't see straight. The head and left arm are definately from the black version and I think the left leg is. The right arm and leg are from the red and blue version. The legs are also to big for the ball-joints they attach to at the crotch. I have no idea what the crotch is from but it's none of the figures. Not only do the legs not line up, but the chest does not line up with the waist piece.
Terrible figure. Avoid at all costs. I definately want my $10 back. Good thing I spent enough and used that Target coupon so it only feels like I wasted $5 |

Haven't heard of or seen this figure before, but it sounds positively terrible. As if Spider-Man needs more terrible merchandise to warm the shelves!
You should have spent that money to pick up an extra Lord Zedd.

I wanted this figure to add to the collection because it's basically a legend figure under a different banner. I also have the regular versions of Spidey from 1, 2, and the black one from 3. This would have been a nice compliment to that.
Yea, I'm complainning about $10 I spent on a toy that really isn't worth it due to the quality. yea, that automatically means I can't afford the other one. Nice assumption there.  | |

Just super glue it into a pose and call it a statue  
Don't look at my stuff!! Which is

The 5" ones are the pegwarmers. The 6" ones they put out over the holidays (the Build-a-Figure set) was an instant hit...but they didn't put out many (same for the Fantastic Four 6" BAF set) so a lot of people (as far as I know) got screwed. I'm glad they're putting out this new 6" Spidey line (I picked up Venom today) and I'm not really that upset about the Sandman BAF. I'm still pissed about the Fantastic Four BAF, though - I only managed to get Reed, Ben, and Johnny. And it's been said before in the Marvel Legends thread, and it's true: they still haven't put out a good black-costume Spidey figure. I don't want one where he's got a damned hole in his hand. 
OMG, he changed his signature for the first time in years. Miracles can happen.
