New Let Down? - Marvel Legends Iron Spider Spider Man Comic Figure Review

[@brendanorourke4727]

Those waldos were digitally sculpted to be fully articulated, but the joints were definitely lost because of cost cutting, and maybe some engineering issues, not by mistake. Too bad, because fully articulated waldos and some crawling hands could have made this figure.

Shartimus, I get your point, I mean the Iron Spider suit is a great choice for Peter because he does need protection even though the suit does get in tough situations or in battles like in Civil War and $31.99 sucks, But to me, He could have been a 2 pack with a new updated Extremist Iron Man, As always Great videos.

[@Fr0stbit3_]

I have my own issues with this figure, mainly with the QC and the price. Everyone else told me to “stop crying” because we shouldn’t expect Hasbro to make decent figures at $35 a pop (with tax) and windowless packaging.

And this is why I stopped getting Legends. I’ve been collecting the Classified line which is cheaper, has better sculpting, a ton of accessories, and good articulation. I’m also tired of people making excuses for Hasbro with Legends. I mean look at the most recent X-Men wave, and tell me those are worth 25 bucks.

[@b9-roxasjohnstevenb.161]

I don't get how marvel legends nowadays are so damn expensive, especially the comic figures. At this rate you should always get an alternate head and more hands and accessories to make it worth it

[@ADour1996]

The artwork in the package is repurposed from the cover of Amazing Spider-Man #529, by Bryan Hitch.

[@brandonamezquita4501]

Thanks for the honesty Shartimusprime. So many people have been sucking this figure's waldo. 😂😂😂

[@erick1116]

The waldo articulation is definitely a cost cutting measure, even if they are charging more for the figure. That aside, you can get more poses out of them by messing with the rotation. I find you can get a more natural supporting pose with the middle one by rotating the first knuckle 180 degrees so that it bends downwards.

[@saintarchangel9547]

Agreed...this is no "woops we missed that on the final check" or whatever Shart was saying. This is 100% intentional cost cutting Hasbro BS. They do these little things here and there to cut costs but to us nerds we se every detail and every time they do it, it frustrates the hell out of a lot of us...mainly because we know they are experiencing record profits, AND jacking up prices. Figures should be TOP NOTCH meaning all details hit i.e. all elbows on the waldos articulated. At least show us why we r paying more money now.

Excellent review! Completely valid complaints. Once again a Spider-Man figure with no wall crawling hands. Easy pass for me.

[@johnnyweiner746]

I found a way to have Iron spider not only wall crawling hands but with repulsive blast. If you have the marvel legends iron man mark 5 set from 2010 I believe, it comes with gripping hand fisted hands and wide open hands with repulsive blast. They will fit but has a tiny gap doesn't port in all the way but it will work to make it possible. Reds don't match 100% but it's believable

[@GameTime-yj6qv]

Very honest and objective review. I like this figure, but like you said, it could have been so much better. Especially for the price point. If the waldos were fully articulated and it had web crawling hands, this figure could have been awesome.

[@SylenceEturnal]

So glad you did this review. The only thing that kept me from getting the older version of the Iron Spider suit was the lack of articulation in the Waldoes. And I was so excited to see this newer version and that all the promotional pictures of it seemed to insinuate that it had fully articulated Waldoes. So I waited for this one. And I preordered it from Target for like $23 back when they had that sale to compete with amazons Prime day. But I cancelled it last week because I got tired of Target holding my money hostage each month (cancelled all my preorders with them actually). Long story short, I'm glad I did that because I would have been very disappointed when discovering the limited articulation, even with the sale price. Thank you for inadvertently reassuring me that I made the right choice.

[@MisterSouji]

So where the waldos that look like they have a hinge in them is probably where they made them in multiple pieces and just glued them in place. Literally it would take the same amount of engineering and less glue to just put a snap in hinge or even a ball joint.

[@lowmanslyric2805]

Well still looks like an amazing figure even if the waldos(new vocabulary for me. Arent they supposed to be called tentacles?) were jointless i would still like it with shiny and amazing sculpt and distingushed look with the waldos

I got mine for free thanks to my rewards points with Target and I'm pretty happy with him. He's very shiny, which to me is the selling point, especially for a suit I don't care much about but the toy was just too good to pass up.

[@jpstevens938]

For $34 the waldo should have full articulation. Feels like a cost-cutting move to maximize profit. Just bought a Neca Kessler Wolf for a dollar less than that at Target and there is no comparison. Every time I look at that I am amazed at the head sculpt and the hair strands throughout the body. Having a difficult choice on which head sculpt to chose since they’re both good. Might have to get two. This figure on the other hand disappoints. Willing to pay Mafex for a better version of Iron Spider. Pretty sure they will make an awesome one eventually.

[@Leatherhead4Hire]

Lol. I watched the review on pretty low volume and hear you mention the joint rotation. And didn't see you rotate them much. They twist pretty hard i thought i was gonna break them. Then they finally clicked and rotated when i pinched and twisted them. My bad Shart.

[@marvelsomething1952]

Not having the articulation in the wallies and not having wall crawling hands should not be acceptable at a deluxe price point.

[@Drooook]

The thing about cost cutting is I feel like they could’ve kept the waldos articulation and gave the wall crawling hands and just upped the price by a little bit. it just doesn’t add up even with the price it is now

[@bodyinspector2775]

The difference beetween the metallic red and the plastic red kills this figure for me ngl

[@k4m1l83]

The only things that frustrate me are: No wall crawling hands. C'mon hasbro🙄 And really for me weak articulation in 3 spider legs there should be just one more joint in the middle and I think that would be good but with these It kinda feels limited. And the last thing which frustrates me the most is the price. I have to pay in my country for this figure 42$ (converted) from PLN and this figure is not even perfect. I don't have an issue with Amazing Fantasy 15 one because he is perfect for me but this iron spidey well hasbro is starting to annoy me more and more often that: They require too exaggerated prices for figures that are absolutely not worth that much. What is on these new boxes does not fully show what is inside. Example: Gorr, Future foundation spidey, ock. And too many Amazon exclusives because in my country they are practically not available because our Polish amazon does not download them at all and neither of our stores download them because for some reason there are big problems and the last prices in Poland are a total inflection we have to pay much more than you do in the US which is completely unfair. And Hasbro is already on thin ice

But when it ocmes to the waldos, I think they should have at least one more point of articulation. But the thing I really hate about the figure is that it doesn't come with wall crawling hands -_-

[@MenheraHours]

If I'm going to spend $10 to fix Hasbro's garbage paint then I'm basically halfway to buying the Revoltech.

[@TheGodofweak]

I think its a great figure, but people are weighing the issues of Marvel Legends vs their inflating cost. Everything is inflating, it stands to reason our luxury plastic toys would too. This guy has good paint, the two different colors can be frustrating but I think in person the metallic sheen with the slightly different reds gives it this shading vibe without having to do washes, its actually really nice and feels premium for MLs. The "waldos" are unfortunate -you can still do most cool poses to imitate comics or the game etc, but missing out on that articulation + the gold paint not matching the figure is the most understandable criticism from this video that I agree with. I still think they're fine accessories, not get crawling hands and a 50th web line are all symptoms of cost cutting. I think its fair to criticize cost cutting while prices are inflating, we see this with products across the spectrum in every market. However, if we look at this figure objectively, as a "Marvel Legend" and evaluate it in comparison to other figures -other Spider-Men even, this is still a great piece as it poses well, the proportions are nice and that paint job really catches the eye. I think it will look great swinging alongside the 80 years Iron-man and War machine in one of my displays, so for me personally I think its one of the better Marvel Legends this year.

Here I can’t trust it: half of legends is simply reuse. An old body buck with a new repaint. I wanted to pick up this and all the new figures I found but the windowless doesn’t allow me to trust if it’s legit, hell one figure box was straight up empty on the shelf. I’m fine with them cutting back on the windows, but have enough to where I can at the bare minimum see the damn figure.
