Marvel Shop Exclusive...

The Marvel Shop has teamed up with Diamond Select Toys for many past exclusive Marvel Select figures, but this is the one everyone has been waiting for! Starting January 12, Marvel Shop customers can pre-order a new, exclusive 7-inch action figure of the Spectacular Spider-Man, in his classic comic-book costume, with multiple interchangeable parts.

Arguably the Marvel Universe’s most famous citizen, Spider-Man is a perennial favorite for toy collectors, with everyone seeking out the perfect Spider-Man figure for their toy display. This all-new Marvel Select figure of the wall-crawler wears his world-famous red-and-blue tights, stands exactly 7 inches tall and features 16 points of articulation, allowing him to strike a variety of crouching, web-shooting and web-swinging poses.

And did we mention interchangeable parts? In addition to his basic pair of open hands, Spider-Man comes with three bonus sets – fists, grabbing hands and web-shooting hands. He also comes with an interchangeable Peter Parker head, a camera accessory that hangs on his shoulder, and a bunched-up Spider-Man mask that he can hold in his grabbing hand! All of this comes packaged in slimmed-down, display-ready Marvel Select packaging, with side-panel artwork for shelf reference.

Pre-orders will open on January 12, 2016, exclusively at marvelshop.com, and then further pre-orders will open on February 1 at disneystore.com and disneystore.eu. The figures will ship to customers and to Disney Store locations on or before February 29, 2016.

The Spectacular Spider-Man joins the roster of exclusive Marvel Select figures at the Marvel Shop, including Captain America, Hulkbuster Iron Man, Unleashed Hulk, Bleeding Edge Iron Man., Mighty Thor, Avenging Hawkeye and Unmasked Ant-Man.

Spidey's Back In Black and He's Bringing The Sandman With Him Too...

Despite the new Spider-Man movie reboot in theaters, Hot Toys continues to produce figures from Sam Raimi's Spider-Man Trilogy, mainly pulling from Spider-Man 3, which still rings pretty rotten in my mind. But even with Spider-Man 3 not living up to my expectations, figures and characters in toy form can become whatever you want them to be. With their Movie Masterpiece Series #165, Hot Toys gives us Spider-Man in his black symbiote suit that is excellently made and they also sweeten the deal by including a Sandman diorama base and a alternate portrait of Peter Parker as played by Tobey Maguire.

An All-New Spidey for A Whole New Generation...

With the upcoming sequel to 2012's The Amazing Spider-man hitting theaters on May 2, Hot Toys once again releases a highly sought after figure with Peter Parker/Spider-man from The Amazing Spider-man. Now, fans and collectors can own their own Spider-man/Peter Parker based on the latest live-action version of the character.

PACKAGING

As with other Movie Masterpiece Series figures, Spider-man comes in an attractive and durable cardboard box with the front of the package featuring Spider-man in full costume and in action over the city skyline and the back of the package featuring the figure posed and the creative and design information. The interior of the package includes the main figure, all parts and pieces in a clear plastic tray molded to ensure each part and piece is stored, protected and secure.

SCULPT

Based on the True Type 12" Body, the Amazing Spider-man figure features two sculpted heads, multiple sculpted hands and four sculpted webs. No doubt the most impressively sculpted piece here is no doubt the Andrew Garfield as Peter Parker head sculpt, which was brought to life beautifully by Im Jung Hyuk.
