One of the more impressive and unique accessories is the set of Iron Spider legs. The figure is a blast to pose in a fighting format or a fleeing scenario, as the base really allows for either to be portrayed brilliantly. This is an issue particularly around the shoulders, core area, and knees which is particularly concerning given how much fun it is to pose this collectible. The fabric used to make the suit and gold design is a little worrying for certain longterm poses, as it tends to wrinkle in some areas which will inevitably create some creases which will stick around. Neck, shoulders, elbows, wrists, abdomen, hips, knees, wrists, and feet can all be turned and/or bent. The posability on this figure is next level. Perhaps one of the regularly very impressive feats of Hot Toys is their ability to find cloth which will not only appear to be a miniature version of what was seen on screen but also feel like the eyes tell our minds it should. The texture, in line with other Spider-Man figures, is delicious. The gold accents make the figure pop out of a collection of similar figures, accurately adapting the look of the character from the final fight of No Way Home. While Hot Toys decided to remove some of the body features which make it look more like there is a human-shaped body inside such as the collarbones on a previous Spider-Man figure of the same size, the design of the suit itself is stunning. The Deluxe Edition, which is available now for pre-order on Sideshow and is listed as expected to ship between January of 2023 and March of 2023, includes a diorama base to emulate the battlefield in Spider-Man: No Way Home and features elements of Doc Ock, Green Goblin, and Sandman in it. The difference between the respective editions is the base. There is a Collector Edition which prices at $285 and a Deluxe Edition which costs $425. The new Spider-Man: No Way Home figure, one which precedes the likes of Green Goblin, Doc Ock, and other Spider-Man figures from the same movie, is available in two formats. The video above from the Phase Zero channel sees the sixth scale figure in all of its glory, with more details and photos to be found in the article below! However, it is time for the Inegrated Suit which Tom Holland's Spider-Man wore late in the movie to be mailed out and Sideshow provided with a sample of the Deluxe Edition for an official unboxing. A black and gold suit from early in the film previously released, one which unboxed at the time. I do love Holland and I think his character has reached new levels in NWH - but I still feel like he is still growing into a classic Spidey and away from the Avengers-lite/Iron-Man-Jr role he was in the first two movies of his trilogy.Spider-Man: No Way Home has dropped plenty of merch since its release in December of 2021 but the highly-detailed Hot Toys figures are still on the way. Plus Maguire's first two movies have, to quote, really stood the test of time as all-time classic CBM. I really prefer the silver raised webbing on the Raimi suit, I prefer the build of the body underneath the Raimi suit, I like the richer red/blue colour in the real life/videos of the Raimi figure, I MUCH prefer the Sandman base - I think its awesome and a cool way for me to include him in my Spidey-Villains collection. I made my decision and I ordered the deluxe Tobey Spidey - I looked up some videos of it and the blue is a lot brighter/richer in real life than it is in the promo pics which was one of my major draws to the Holland final suit figure which helped tip the balance in favor of the Maguire suit. Need opinions fairly quickly before my waitlist opportunity expires. So I am canvassing for opinions and perspectives. I think both head sculpts are amazing, though sadly I see myself rarely using them in favor of the masked sculpt. I really like both suits, Tom's is like an upgraded version of the classic suit which I love and I love the vibrant colours, but the Tobey suit is also pretty close to a classic look but with slightly more visual interest with the raised webbing, though the colours aren't as bright as the Holland final suit. Tobey's base is SO much more interesting than the deluxe for Tom Holland however the Tobey is a LOT more expensive. I really like both Tobey and Tom's Spider-men, Tobey is more nostalgic but Tom has been in more movies and has played the role really well with a consistent quality to his movies. I currently have a mix of villains for my Spidey collection but no Spider-Man, including Molina Doc Ock, Jazzinc The Vulture, Mysterio and a Toys Era Fiend. So my waistlist opportunity for the Deluxe Toby Maguire Spider-Man just came through and I need to decide whether to go for it or to keep my current pre-order of the Deluxe Tom Holland final suit from NWH.
