Marvel Legends SYMBIOTE SPIDER-MAN Black Costume Retro Secret Wars 40th Anniversary Figure Review

[@spectacularrobotToys]

I really like the squinted eyes head. If I ever get the figure (Because I have the retro wave version) I would get it for that headsculpt. It really reminds me of Web Of Shadows suit

[@Tarriq]

100% right on web of shadows

[@Tarnx2007]

I’m doin a custom for web of shadows for it

[@Cool_man6]

I know right! IT’S AWESOME!!!!!!

[@aaizarizwan3169]

Same. I also have the retro wave one and want it for that headsculpt

[@BSmiTh79]

These hit the nostalgic feels. I had a lot of the original figures back in the 80s. Hologram cards were all the rage back then lol.

[@ghostharlow8962]

I got this figure along with the 85 years retro carded venom at a toy show last week. (ugh it’s so sick to have them posed side by side) I’m a sucker for a more slimmer Spider-Man body so them basically throwing symbiote colors on an amazing fantasy body while adding a classic & mcfarlane style head to the mix is Christmas for me.

[@Brandan_Boi]

Don't forget about the ultimate Symbiote from the spiderman 5 pack

[@RoyalT115]

Can’t wait to get this. I have the retro version and the VHS version as well. Gonna be putting the smaller head from this one on the retro to make a more Web of Shadows inspired Spidey

[@dalebraddock3296]

The shields are a direct throwback to the original Secret Wars figures. They came with shields with holograms.

[@the_royal_frick634]

We're making it off of Battle world with this one!

[@DesignIncase]

At this point we've gotten this design on so many bodies. That's a good thing because everyone has their favorite body. People argue about the eyes. RYV is my idea of the Marvel Legends. Though I still find Mafex to be definitive. I think this will be great for a lot of people who like the body but skippable for those who prefer the other bodies.

[@michaeltinishanay655]

I was initially excited to get this symbiotic but after seeing multiple reviews I’m cancelling it. I prefer the retro symbiotic spidey (even though it’s not pinless). This one is well articulated but can’t get passed the giant duck feet. I’ll just wait for a pinless version of the retro one whenever it comes out.

[@Tosenate]

Just get a black pinless figure and swap the arms

[@michaeltinishanay655]

@ I was thinking about that too. I saw another video showing maybe the spider shot figure could be used for this.

[@Zacharyali]

ya I completely agree with you, ill just stick w my ct toys black spiderman

[@jcarret26]

Awesome review. I was wondering how the retro Black costume Spider-Man head sculpt looked on this Spider-Man.

[@treyvonwilliams]

4:10 looks like something from web of shadows.

[@jimgionis]

I have the retro symbiote figure. Planning on getting this one and putting the more mcfarlane head with the bigger eyes on him because I have him in a thwiping mcfarlane pose and keep the small eyes on this one

[@freddysmith1471]

The McFarlane style head is the way to go.

[@JomasterTheSecond]

I'm absolutely getting this to replace the botched Symbiote Spider-Man custom I was making on the Amazing Fantasy body.

[@giamfamilysimplesandbox2701]

MARVEL SECRET WARS WOO

[@nicksiharath4755]

Honestly, this is a fantastic Symbiote figure! Great review. I'm not understanding the people who are complaining about the thwipping hands and no toe joint. If Hasbro didn't include those hands many of you would complain about the lack of! Also, I prefer no toe articulation (yes, even on Spidey!) because it tends to get floppy over time. Also, the feet size are just fine for stability sakes. Some of ya'll are never happy!! It looks great, and I own the retro symbiote. I really like the figure, thanks for bringing back the nostalgia, Hasbro!

[@spidersteve983]

I took the vhs symbiote spidy and swapped the arms with the retro symbiote spidy, then just a little bit of acetone to get rid of the blue and it looks amazing

[@erictoro6519]

It's actually the same first appearance spider man but painted symbiote Spidey which is cool I been waiting for this one. I hope the price of this figure doesn't sky rocket. Because it's an awesome symbiote Spidey.

[@pletho79]

Great review, thanks! I like this AF body more than the RYV / retro, and it looks good with the new arms in the symbiote suit.

[@Ilostmycactus]

I'm looking forward to this. All the black suit spidermen are expensive and I just got into ML like this year or so.

[@Dave2LA]

The arms are from renew your vows

[@owene2530]

About time they used this body for the black suit, it suits it perfectly. Very good release by hasbro if not only for the fact that its spiderman with the PROPER hands minus the gripping ones which aren't too sorely missed, on top of that he is WICKED articulated. Wolverine and spidey are the standout wins of this wave for sure

[@jamesmorales4735]

Not bad for it being my 7 version from Hasbro.

[@TVKiDoOfficial]

Looks similar to spider shot head. I like this new symbiote spider.

[@AlphaProto]

That's not bad.

[@Anythingpossiblebutnotu]

I hope when they come out with the new ultimate miles morales figure he’s shorter then the first appearance mold

[@tryksta7247]

Is having the "thwip" hands accurate to Secret Wars? I get that the concept of a symbiote and later Venom wasn't conceived just yet.

[@karlluigi1987]

I'll just get this because of the head sculpt

[@TokuAndAnimationNewsNetwork]

I just don't see it as a good enough upgrade against the one I already have. They couldn't even be bothered to give him some web effects? I think I'm going to just hunt down the Mafex version (or wait for a reissue) as that looks like a true upgrade (well obviously, given the price).

[@Anchor1981]

Is this the amazing fantasy body mold?

[@caseysmith3329]

The original figs had multiple lenticular slides that were even double sided to show some additional scenes from f the characters in action. Bigger deal in the 80’s versus 2024.

[@zenquantum1246]

Looks like a good one, but given that it’s the Symbiote with webs shooting off the back of his hands, they could’ve put in grip hands instead of the thwips. A minor complaint to be certain

[@robertfalcone3025]

Even tho i have the Black Suit Spider Man on the RYV body with the cell shading REMOVED of course..i still pre-ordered the 40th Anniversary Secret Wars Black Suit Spider Man basically because like yourself.. I've always loved that version of Spider Man... Anyways great video brother.. looking forward to more of your Marvel Legends reviews 👑

[@machrider36]

Great Vid! My Mafex symbie is all I need! Don’t really care for the legends versions!

[@ElPoderdelasIdeas]

I can't stop unseen his logo.

[@Anchor1981]

Will we get a regular suited Spidey? I wonder what wave 2 will bring? 🤔

[@antoineconnor5266]

Unfortunately the one I received has a floppy ab crunch, otherwise it’s a great figure😢

[@Spongemonkey26]

With the vintage line, the heroes came with the red circular shield and the villains came with a silver square shield. No clue as to what they represented lol.

[@MaximumWarp2099]

I had the original SW black suit Spidey and am very excited to get the two I ordered. BUT!! How can they get the paint right on the back and not the front? Other reviewers are seeing the same problem and it annoys me knowing mine may look the same.

[@themarzbars138]

This is cool but it's a bit underwhelming and not as opposing as retro symbiote. Should have swap the head sculpt to compare.

[@MCUcollector24]

But why if this has one with the eyes about the same size?

[@themarzbars138]

@MCUcollector24, surprisedly, it looks more accurate to secret wars. Aesthetically, it adds a different look

[@BrianCampos-d1v]

How did you get it

[@jamesmorales4735]

Not bad for it being my 7 version from Hasbro.

[@Anythingpossiblebutnotu]

Now we need an Ben Reilly on this body and a shorter Mary Jane and a shorter Gwen Stacy and we need an 2099 on the ryv body

[@ursala]

After watching reviews of this new symbiote Spidey I am 100% convinced that the retro one is much better than this new version

[@MCUcollector24]

Both great figures

[@Crazykix85]

Those feet look huge! And correct me if I’m wrong, but doesn’t the black suit Spider-Man shoot webs from the dorsal side of his hands, making the thwiping hands pointless? Also, (minor nitpick) the newly sculpted arms were made a little more defined than the previous ones. They clash with the rest of the softly sculpted body. I’m gonna pass on this one as I feel like previous iterations were executed a little better.

[@DesignIncase]

Honestly you can use this figure for the Venom Symbiote suit or the cloth version where he uses his normal webshooters.

[@LJreviews2015]

Can he do a 4 point stance as easily as the Af figure? Should be the same

[@Cudddiiii]

How do you guys get it so early?

[@MCUcollector24]

I say it in the video

[@bman_1279]

What background is that it’s sick

[@MCUcollector24]

Wall XD bit.ly/48xR255

[@rashidhumine]

Spider-Man Web of Shadows :)

[@Gambit2149]

Awesome review🔥🔥🔥

[@daghanatesoglu]

I love the amazing fantasy/first appearance body buck, sooo happy they went ahead with this body over the renew your vows buck.

[@krakatoaj.kraken8451]

His eyes are way too big, more like McFarlane eyes. The retro-carded version looks more accurate to Secret Wars. But it does look pretty cool. I'll probably pick this up if I can track it down.

[@jasonpatchen1912]

lenticular photo is a fricken sticker!!!!

[@MCUcollector24]

Piece of plastic and cardboard

[@jasonpatchen1912]

@MCUcollector24 no they are stickers peel the white film of the backs of the lenticular pics I stuck mine to my laptop

[@Ech0_0]

We need a Miles on this body

[@MCUcollector24]

I would not be surprised if that happens eventually. It’s been a very long time since we got a comic Miles figure

[@THATONEGUY-hx9fs]

Wolverine next?

[@Jayds31]

I bet they sent that over from hasbro or your buddy at target gave it to u

[@MCUcollector24]

Did you even watch the video????? I say how I got it. Side note, Hasbro never sends things out.

[@meliamurdoch6861]

The head looks like scarlet spider

[@FiendishFrank]

It definitely does, but it's not. The Scarlet Spider head is different, the eyes are very different, they stick out on Scarlet Spider and his right eye is slightly more closed than his left eye. It also doesn't have those same wrinkles in-between the eyes, the way the new Symbiote head has. Similar, but not the same at all!

[@ElectriKMadnezz]

actually, it looks like mcfarlane's version of spiderman, scarlet spider has more triangular eyes, and scarlet spider came later in the 90s, some years after symbiote spiderman debut in the 80s and some years after mcfarlane made a drawing of symbiote spiderman with these eyes.

[@FiendishFrank]

@@ElectriKMadnezz we're talking about the head with the squinty eyes. And we are talking about Kaine Parker Scarlet Spider, who's head is extremely similar to the squinty eyed head on this new Symbiote Spidey. We're comparing figures, not comics from the 80s and 90s!

[@ElectriKMadnezz]

@FiendishFrank ahhhhh the squinty head... oops- it reminds me more of a certain phrase. "Venom, get ready for a world of pain!"

[@CarlosSoto-xe2we]

The feet🤦🏻‍♂️ looks like he has crocs on. Still good Spidey but the feet they messed up

[@the_royal_frick634]

Thank GOD its not super gummy. The retro symbiote figure is super disappointing because of how gummy it is omfg.

[@Lee86THUNDER]

Coolness. Those feet look huge lol

[@Mmmkay9]

Why is there no toe articulatiin???

[@GaldamezEstates]

HATEEE that they dont give every figure tor articulation now! Just annoying! 😢
