Marvel Legends SUPERIOR SPIDER-MAN Action Figure Review

Yikes, people are salty that you liked this, lol. I never viewed your channel as the ML Hate Channel.. I viewed it as the “please get better” channel and so far, they absolutely have. At least with these two figures, right? I *want* my Spidey figures to be “on par” with Jada. They should be especially since they’re from the #1 Toy Company, right? I agree with you that this is a damn good figure and imho should be the Spidey buck going forward (sorry Amazing Fantasy fans.. that buck is too small..) Still need to fix some minor things but I’m suuuuper happy to have this guy in my collection. Fooooor sure.

This is not on par with Jada, not even close. Disk hinge neck, outdated ab crunch, and waist twist.

Doesn't even come with a web effect like it shows on the box art it comes with for cryin' out loud.

[@suhtangwong]

​@@TheMattTrakkerwhat's so awful about ML? what's a standard action figure line? 🤔

[@theraven268]

@@suhtangwong Poor qc, Bad and inconsistant articulation, bad plastic in areas on a lot of the figures (gummy joints). NO paint or barely any on a most of the figures, minimal accessories. Ridicolous proportions on lots of releases (big head syndrome, tiny shoulders, flat chest, duck feet) Multiple price hikes at a time where the quality had stagnated and suddenly took a noticable downturn. Excessive reuse, especially when it is forced and unnatural for the character. The poor distribution of figures exclusive to stores. I'm sure there are ore things but theese pop up in my head first.

[@theraven268]

I hate that Hasbro seem to have given up on or backslid into using disc hinge necks and ab crunch+ swivel torso articulation now. They screwed up almost every use of ballpeg/double-ball head and never got full range on the upper torso ballpeg and never figured out that a lower one is far superior to their reverse ab crunch. Now their failed experiment "proves" to them that they should have just stuck with their old setup Had they actually learned how to apply those changes the figures SHOULD now be as good as Jada Toys Street Fighter line but now we are back to the fucking open oven chest and no expressiveness with their heads, GREAT (sigh).

[@FREKKI]

So what happened was, Hasbro was losing customers and thus, money to the plastic-free packaging so they brought it back but compensated by lowering the quality of the plastic in their figures. I assume.

[@TimothyLau55]

"lowering the quality of our products is our core value and we will never yield to achieve our goal of make our customers NOT satisfy. We are so proud!"

[@kennypotter8620]

Amazon messed up on the price add 24 t a lot of people got it for that. But my point was they did a brand new torso I'm still gave it the ab crunch and torso cut and then I gave us the renew your vows Spider-Man legs all the way down to the feet and on top of that they tried to charge $30

[@jonathanhampshire6856]

Not bad for marvel legends, but still "newcomers", have much to learn from "old timers" Jada with their new fangled articulation setup, lower prices and great accessories. All for a lower price. Oh and they include stands too. 😀

[@machineblue6212]

Between this release and the recent Wolverine, I'd be curious to hear your thoughts on the upcoming Venom that's set for a September release. He's a walmart exclusive though so I wouldn't blame you if you end up not reviewing him.

[@Hdhakdhdj]

No way this is really new, it looks exactly like every other spiderman hasbro has released for at least 5 years. Ugly pregnant chest, low shoulders, neck Hinge, ugly waist break, same leg cuts. But I trust Anthony and I'm sure hasbro will re use the shit out of this after this review

[@suhtangwong]

Actually it's higher than normal shoulders 👌

[@22B112]

the shoulders are much bigger and much higher if you actually have them lined up side by side in-person, the main problem proportions wise is just the long neck, small chest and the thigh gap

[@ismaelhernandez4945]

This is one that I definitely wanted. It's a great step up from the original release. Thanks for the review

[@TheMattTrakker]

Do you think $30 with no BAF is justifiable for this, or should it be $25, like the Jada figures? I know that's not a huge difference, but I feel like this is Hasbro just trying to nudge that normal price up a little more to get people accustomed to it. It's good to see them making better figures, but after years of their practices, I have a hard time not being cynical.

[@AnthonysCustoms]

I think it's reasonable enough when things like the legs are included with a new body sculpt. Still not a good price point for the figure... That's why the rating is "for marvel legends"

[@GameTime-yj6qv]

For Marvel Legends standards, its up there. But for Jada Street Fighter standards, it would be their worst figure.

[@DevilFudou]

sure if you don't look at Jada's faces, their faces are still miles behind Hasbro's

[@GameTime-yj6qv]

@@DevilFudou I'll give you that, Marvel Legends have been making some amazing facesculpts, often better than even high end brands. It's just frustrating the short cuts they take with old body molds, lack of paint, dated articulation, lack of accessories.

I knew this was gonna get a positive review from you for the most part. I mean this may be my number 1 legend this year. I read this series. I only wished they had an unmasked Peter's head with a more sinister look on his face that says it's Otto now in Peter's body. (Though Peter was a bodiless soul waiting to get his body back. Also would have liked a little Spiderbot accessory. His bending back is the downfall. And I am always gonna wonder if the Amazing Fantasy body would have made this figure a full 10.

The more I look at hasbro’s marvel and Star Wars stuff compared to GI Joe and the soaring prices of Lego Disney stuff, i can’t really fault the quality of these lines on Hasbro anymore, Disney’s cut must be fucking enormous

[@TheMattTrakker]

Then why is Marvel Select able to do what they're able to do for $29.99?

[@somerelativleyuninterestin4763]

@@TheMattTrakker Hasbro likely gives Disney a larger cut of profits/pays more for licensing than Diamond does. I don’t know what the deal is for selects figures, but I do know the last time Hasbro renewed their marvel contracts was in February of 2020, before any of the rot had set in, and Disney basically had the power to demand whatever they wanted. Honestly, I think after realising how much Disney screwed up the MCU and how much money it was costing them to both produce the figures and pay for the license they were now contractually obligated to pay for, Hasbro likely cut a lot of the line-wide budget for Marvel Legends so as to not be haemorrhaging as much money. Plus both Marvel and Star Wars have massively declined in popularity. Hasbro’s own flagships are selling better. Transformers ROTB underperformed and left them with a deficit of 90 million dollars, and yet according to one of the quarter reports, the toy sales for that movie alone turned it from a flop to a minor success. I mean for gods sake GI Joe, which costs the same as Marvel legends, costs more to produce due to its higher quality and is far less popular, was, according to Hasbro, in the green last year and actually made a semblance of profit, whereas partner brands like marvel and Star Wars were singled out as being the primary cause of Hasbro’s god awful end of year earnings issues. So either Marvel and Star Wars are just not selling in the slightest, or Disney’s cut of the money is so big that Hasbro’s making next to no profit on either franchise. Tbh I wouldn’t be shocked if it was both

[@suhtangwong]

Mafex spidey is not that great. Skinny ugly legs, very fragile cheap plastic and joints and about 5x the cost of a normal action figure. But to each their own.

[@22B112]

@NECROMAGICIAN666 Mafex Spidey is too damn skinny lol. You would know if you actually picked seen any of the Spidey comics drawn by Mark Bagley (which is the version Mafex is based on). As for Superior he should have big shoulders and a small waist that’s how he’s always drawn. Spiderman is never skinny in the comics and especially not the Superior version. You must have knew of this character from YT Shorts or something, Heck even Peter in his prime during the Mcfarlane era was ripped out of his minds, wide back, wide shoulders, Large Legs, and crazy veins, Spider-MAN should be a good size he’s not a scrawny teenager the guy is in his mid 20s, an ADULT. don’t even get me started on his early Romita Sr days, the guy was built like a football jock.

[@NECROMAGICIAN666]

LOL the first time superior spiderman appeared he was extremely skinny, and when this suit appeares he is drawn as skinny, but first let me specify that assbro isn't mcfarlane and so far they never took the art style in consideration, so logically this whole point makes no sense, i am saying that the mafex is better when it comes to shapes, and to be frank he is not that skinny as you claim it to be, plus the mafex one should be based on the mcfarlane since his drawing is featured on the pack and this one should be based on the mark bagley cover art from the run made by, slott, del gado, bell and bagley it doesn't feature the problems i pointed out, and fully adult doesn't mean jocky, as far as i can tell spiderman isn't drawn to be big since the 80's he was just ripped in the 90's because of the crazyness of the art style and i'll give you a point for the critique on the mafex, he should have been more crazy indeed if you feature the mcfarlane one on the box.

[@NECROMAGICIAN666]

@@22B112 aside from that i still personally think that the mafex looks overall better than this one, this one features the classic marvel legends proportions problems big hands, big head, big feet, big claves, fat ankles, no wrists, weird torso muscles, no butt and skinny chest besides being 0% fat type shredded the mafex is pretty much great, not perfect but great the flaws on that figure are the belt design, the limited crunch joint, the big head, the peter parker head being weird, and his fragility. but imagine this, that mold but more modernized and with a 20 dollar price point and with those problems fiexed, it would be the best selling legends of all times EASILY (of course without import joints) but with double ball pegs it would be ground breaking(for legends collectors remained in the stone age) and it would actually be a competitive product, because as far as i can tell in the lousiest sonic 3 jakks can kick a marvel legends ass in terms of articulations, painting, sculpt value and accuracy.

[@NECROMAGICIAN666]

@@suhtangwong i was talking about the sculpt, it is the best 1:12 comic spiderman figure on the market and nobody would tell you otherwise, I can agree with you on the fact that is not perfect and it needs more work but are we really comparing the two products? i'm just comparing the shape and sculpt because it doesn't cost more to sculpt it better and the legends is again, NOT THAT GOOD it presents way more problems than the mafex.
