The Best?! Marvel Legends Scarlet Spider Ben Riley Animated Series Vintage Retro Figure Review

[@oi7917]

hasbro cooking with the spider-man figures lately

[@PeterTSF]

Last stand sucked no ab crunch

@@PeterTSFFr, would’ve preferred that over the ball joint waist

[@Nikson_the_Marvel_Fan]

Great Scarlet Spider. Much better than the 2 previous versions.

[@bapo22]

*AF is the definitive Hasbro Spidey mold, for now*

[@Maddcustoms7]

bigger shoulders, better proportions, neck articulation, elbow articulation than ryv

[@basketballfan23]

The best! I wish I went for the Amazing Friends 3 pack instead of the Amazing Fantasy single release Also if only it had toe articulation...

[@knightcaptain7140]

If he was bigger than yeah I would agree

[@Legitpablo]

Hell no, my af spidey was gummy and hard to pose while the RYV spidey has articulated toes, more ariticulation on the abs, and just overall better sculpt on the muscles

[@IG88IGLOO.]

He's so clean

[@asapxsilva5627]

we NEED A BIG TIME BADASS SPIDER NOW

[@specialk3357]

I hate how they finally re-did Big Time and it’s on the pizza Spidey body. At the least the retro version would have been great.

[@thevenomous1954]

I literally was just looking at this on BBTS, then i saw the video. Definitely getting this guy.

[@mikey9906]

I like the shape of the eyes more than the actual costume

[@matthewtran6117]

First appearance spiderman is the best imo

[@R-MAN99]

The best Scarlet spider in fact

[@RileyScarletSpiderGirl]

I still absolutely love my Mafex Scarlet Spider but it's kinda crazy that the new Hasbro Scarlet Spider's belt and hoodie design are so much better and more accurate than the way more expensive Mafex ones.

[@tombowling8646]

Spectacular review, Shart! The Scarlet Spider costume has always been dope. I'm not surprised this figure is so popular. I like it. I would get one, if I still collected Marvel Legends. The Black Series and McFarlane DC Multiverse eats up my entire toy budget.

[@bapo22]

8:31 They're not backwards, they're on the wrong legs/sides; right upper boot should be on left and left upper boot on right. They've got this weird outward angle to them that makes the legs not come down straight.

[@omshiva3599]

The RYV mold is great for Spider-Man figures and variants and hopefully for some teenage or lean characters. Definitely a cool Scarlet Spider figure! I hope we can get all the members of the Spider-verse upgraded in this way.

[@jjwubs1638]

7:29 They're not completely the same body plan, at least Ben Reilly Spiderman has chest swivel and lower ab crunch (which is close to the RNV type, and I prefer), wile Scarlet Kane has a waist swivel and chest crunch.

[@troyr4521]

A "sensational review, Shartimus. I was lucky and found Scarlet Spider in the wild at Target. I agree he is the best version so far.

[@drownedsnow]

Was gonna pass on this because I’m pretty happy with my first release Scarlet Spider but after seeing the comparison I grabbed this guy. Thanks for always including those comparison shots.

[@thecollector616]

Just got mine yesterday I love it to me it's the definitive scarlet spider for sure

[@Lex-uj5it]

Having pre-ordered it in November and received on March 11, for me the best Marvel Legends Scarlet Spider (invisible hole at elbow and knee level).

[@Matt_with_2Ts]

When you tilt his head all the way up, a PEZ candy pops out of his neck!

[@nicktroisi6347]

This is possibly my greatest find. I was gonna pre order him but I walked into one of my local stores and spotted him in the corner of my eye, he was the last one too. Goddamn is this figure so cool and Scarlett Spider is one of my favourite alternate characters and costumes. I’m so happy I picked him up

[@joaquingonzalez5813]

My scarlet spider just came in today. Great addition to the shelf 👌

[@alexanderbognar7967]

I found mine in my local Walmart, and I love what it's got. Wanna do the jacket replacement you see on the internet I feel like it'll be much better.

[@GearlessJoe44]

Those are some really good pics at the end

[@cali6099]

Fire figure. And ryv.. yeah it's the definitive Spidey for now. AF is cool too and I'm happy to have it but I still prefer ryv.. But I will say.. I'd kinda like to see what miles would look like on the Af bodybuck

[@wynstonreeves7945]

Bro this is nostalgic asf I used to watch these videos every day in like 2013 14 ish all the time so 10 years ago

[@chinapat1024]

Your geeking out is justified! This is definitely (in my opinion) the best Scarlet Spidey hands down! I've been taking this fig everywhere with me and I cannot put it down! Excellent vid/review ✌️

[@pinkpandamanz542]

This one is already gone up in after market with all the money Hasbro makes and doesn’t put into the figures they can produce more

[@skaknight9291]

He's super dope I'm usually not a marvel legends guy but this figure might of won me over

[@darthgeoff2011]

Hey SP just love your reviews been watching since your started years and years ago my wife always knows there's a figure purchase coming when she hears your theme song.!shot bro Geoff in New Zealand

[@anotherdoomguy1730]

Marvel legends been cookin good

[@patrickmcgavin2245]

What I don't like is hasbro will put extra heads in some and not in others. Also what's with not giving Scarlet Spider webs. Hasbro did for Peter Parker's Spider-Man. Just reuse the webs. On eBay the original white card Scarlet Spider which has Ben Riley's head is now $90.00. bc of this rerelease it dropped from $125.00. I bought this one for $30.00+. it's like whoever is selling it, thinks the head is worth $60.00 essentially.

[@ThatGenericPyro]

Which is friggin' awful

[@mikethecurious2489]

I didn’t know it was this recent

[@Lab_dp]

Can we get a superior and 2099 with this same body mold pLEASE

[@raymondquinonez6071]

Hey Shart, friendly tip: you don't gotta heat up anything to correct Jack-O-Lantern. Just use the ankle pivot and boot swivel to rotate the calf appropriately

[@StarWolf7800]

Great review and video as always Shart. I think RYV Spidey is adult Spidey, Walmart exclusive/Spider Friends/Amazing Fantasy Spidey is teenager Spidey. At least that is how i look at them and know where to place them in my collection. And yes, we should have gotten an unmasked Ben Reilly head with this release, and i am impatiently waiting for them to release both Kaine and Ben's other costume on the RYV bodies because they should all be having pinless arms and legs with toe articulation. Plus Kaine should be taller than both Peter and Ben. I would imagine putting Kaine on the Vulcan body...

[@andrewmoeller1987]

I think this Scarlett Spider looks great! I have it on pre-order on EE... so it's gonna be a while. But oh well. I wish I could have found the Animated Spider-Man, I've considered getting it from Aliexpress, but I never pulled the trigger, probably isn't available there anymore.

[@MarvellMan]

If they made an Ryv BigTime I would not care how much it cost IM GETTING IT! (BigTime is my favourite figure)

[@Emeraldnite-if7vo]

That is a keen observation that Ben Reilly on the RYV body is Hasbro's way of stating the RYV is their primary/616 Spidey. I prefer the AF15 body myself, but I can see why they would want to make the RYV the primary.

[@Dannytello9000]

A pet peeve of mine is that when it comes to alternate heads, Ben didn’t dye his hair blonde until he became actual Spider-man. When he wore the Scarlet Spider suit he had brown hair 😉

[@sdaeley17]

You can thank the Animated series for making it "head canon!"

[@Reach008]

Now that we have a brand new definitive Ben, I pray we get a Kaine on the Sam’s body and a Miles on the amazing fantasy mold.

[@christopherjohn9610]

It's such a great figure. The RNYV body mould is brilliant with its added toe articulation. Hasbro should be placing this on all spider-man figures going forwards as well as the 3 sets of hands. Though apart of me does prefer the first Retro card spider-man 😅

[@KaineMikulas]

I do wish we got the unmasked head, but specifically with his long brown hair. I really dislike the idea that he dyes his hair blonde BEFORE becoming Sensational Spidey, mainly because that’s such an important part of his self-acceptance. I’d like an accurate one for a change!

[@GameTime-yj6qv]

I think this one gives the Mafex figure a run for its money. When you consider the price difference, I'll get this one. I like the size and proportions better as well as the placement of the Spider logo on the hoodie.

[@INK-MONO]

The RYY buck towers over Mafex figures which would make your display look a little weird if you’re putting him next to other Mafex Spider-Men

[@robertfalcone3025]

Looking forward to Black Suit Spider Man on the Renew Your Vows body 👑

[@theepoopydoodoo]

Already released

[@alexmercer9382]

Updated Kaine Scarlet Spider please hasbro, need Pete, Ben, and Kaine together on my shelf lol

[@rabidhammer31]

Little known fact about me, the 3.75 Scarlet Spidey was a huge part in getting me back into figures and MU and Legends and KZbin reviews and the whole thing. I still love that little fig, this Legends figure looks quite amazing, I do love my mafex but I must have this Legends too! Great review bro.

[@Peppyrooster]

I was so looking forward to picking him up but unfortunately that huge Gap between head and neck is , wow way obviously big. Ajaja im afraid if dropped could break ,? If only the head and neck were designed a bit better to fit correctly, Id say we have a great figure there, Well I'll have to catch him on a discount. And modify his head 🗣️ and neck 🧣.for a better fit and durability.😂👍

[@megagrey]

Only thing I can't get over is the bright candy red color as opposed to the last one's darker red. Otherwise it's perfect.

[@SalCollects]

Neeeeeef this one. A worthy upgrade

[@arayacontrera7179]

SHARTIMUS PLEASE id love to know what that silver webbing ur using those scarlet spider poses is!!

[@prescribeddrone]

Love this figure!

[@raymondquinonez6071]

The Blonde Ben Reilly headsculpt is cool, but technically speaking, Ben didn't bleach his hair while wearing this suit, he had his standard brown hair, but just very ling

[@DesignIncase]

Mafex vs Marvel Legends They both have their strengths and weaknesses. Mafex "weakness" is they chose to go with the more recent Scarlet Spider hoodie over the the 90's design. Not sure if that was a Marvel mandate or what but that was a bit silly. Both of them not having unmasked heads is a negative. Marvel legends has all the same weaknesses of a RYV body. Also that head cavity just does not look good. So yeah get both. RYV vs AF Body I think both work. I think it depends on what your prefered look is. Throw Mafex into the mix and well Spider-man just has a lot of body types thanks to the various artists. I'd argue when Spider-man is solo(or in the Spider verse) being a big beefy guys makes sense. When he's in the Avengers, maybe he should be smaller or slender. But they need to make a Spider-man with a lower ball joint torso, articulated neck, loose the drop down hinges.

[@davidshramek6357]

kaine isn’t on the retro spidey body btw i’m waiting for a new one of him on the ryv body

[@raymondquinonez6071]

I hate to ask Shart, but I'd really like to know what a hoodie swap between the MAFEX and Marvel Legends would look like. If not it's all good man

[@deszaras3]

This articulation should be standard for all MLs

[@chubbycherub1979]

scarlet spider with permanent midriff showing. cool.

[@woody1856]

a spider verse release may have a ben Reilly alt head

[@Spider-ManPetet]

That spider man deserves a ryv upgrade

[@ajgreen8064]

boots are not backwards on that jack o lantern shart

[@timvanboening9432]

He looks great. I have him preordered through BBTS, so I am okay waiting. Got slammed by G.I. Joes this week, so I’ll take the reprieve.

[@Phartan117]

Actually the Kaine Scarlet Spider is on the Sunfire mold I think, not the vintage or retro collection Spidey mold like the Ben Reilly one. It predates the retro 90's collection by a bit.

[@robertfalcone3025]

Damn...i just checked..& my Jack O Lantern boots are backwards too..😖

[@bapo22]

Not backwards. On the wrong legs. Renders for the figure show they were supposed to be assembled on the other legs.

[@robertfalcone3025]

​@@bapo22Thanks for the info brother 👑

[@jwuzy3743]

big time spidey needs his ryv upgrad

[@cardsfanboy]

I'm sorry, but I don't think it's close, the newer Legend figure looks better all around than the Mafex. Not just the sweater, but the thighs look so much better. I do like the smaller web shooters on the mafex, and I think the arms are better, but the shoulders on the legends is much better that it eliminates any advantage of the mafex.

[@miguelarcachero6103]

Spider-Verse Trilogy Movie Cameo.

[@extra_ordinary_plastic_poser]

Shart we needed a blonde Ben Reilly head for the Ben Reilly: Spidey we got in 2022. This version of Ben had his hair brown. That first (and only) blonde head was released in error, if you are going by the comic run.

[@boidae8139]

Only fig I’m as excited for is Deadpool legacy figs

[@basix_toys]

Put retro ben reilly head on renew your wows spiderman, and you will have definitive spiderman from animated series

[@daniellopezlopez6177]

Someone know wich vemon is he using for posing? Don’t rember who is

[@pack.antonio]

I think it's from the King in Black set, with a different head.

[@TheXMortalClan]

Has anyone in the uk received there’s cause I still haven’t

[@guijprml]

I think the ML Scarlet Spidey might have been an easier pick, except that his web shooters are too big and make him look like his has gorilla arms. I do also prefer the Mafex's proportions more than the ML, but at the end of the day it's $25 vs $80-ish depending on where you can find the Mafex.

[@floweralligator]

Why did you put the cn tower in the background lmao

[@AlphaProto]

For the price, and sculpt details I like this over the Mafex.

[@midnighttrain522]

Same and i like the legends body better

[@garf7298]

Same. And even if you wanted you could fork over another like 20 bucks you could get a soft goods hoodie and it would basically be on par with Mafex. That’s what I’m gonna do

[@battleframestudios8989]

The mafex is better overall, but the proportions on this guy are far more 90s-inspired. Mafex always makes their figures skinnier and shorter than they should be. Neither came with a Ben Reilly head for some reason, though.

[@YTSORF]

MINE WAS SUPPOSED 2 ARRIVE 2DAY...BUT IS COMING WEDNESDAY NOW INSTEAD 😢

[@anthonyaguilar8092]

Big Time Spidey on RYV body actually F that. Future Foundation Spidey on RYV body. & I don’t wanna see ANY white paint. it should all be molded white plastic with black paint on top.

[@pack.antonio]

I would like both, tbh

[@Spider-24]

Second

[@natemartinez3979]

Ig I must just be genuinely wrong cuz I seem to be the only person who still likes the mafex more lol

[@blakewordlow7632]

I Like The New One Better.

[@KeeperPlus]

Eh. Mafex version is way better. Hasbro can not execute a double ball peg for a neck for whatever reason for one and I have no clue why they keep doing the back breaking backwards bending and almost no foward movement

[@ravenamber890]

I don't know. The mafex looks too soft and skinny. Also the proportions are off, like his feet and hands are too small for his body.

[@Atlas-hu9wk]

A neck joints its what's missing in articulation. Plus, no webs as usual. I'm surprised the Mafex looks very bland.

[@r.hewlin8328]

I almost never prefer Mafex. Killer accessories and articulation but I hate the baby hands and the liberties taken in design choices.

[@INK-MONO]

You get used to the hands after awhile I think Mafex makes some interesting design choices but they make the definitive 1/12 figure more often than not

[@INK-MONO]

In my opinion of course

[@CarlosSoto-xe2we]

Win to Marvel legends 👏👏👏 Mafex you seeing this, also no QC issues

[@chinapat1024]

Lol, too true!

[@INK-MONO]

Mafex’s QC issues really aren’t that bad, it was really only an issue with earlier releases

[@CarlosSoto-xe2we]

Have you seen "Displaying Model Behavior" his video on Scarlet Spider-Man it breaks during the video. I love Mafex, they're beautiful but you really have to be cautious. "Is this a good one or a QC issue one" 😔

[@INK-MONO]

@@CarlosSoto-xe2we I have over 10 Mafex figures and the only issues I ever had were a loose butterfly joint, and tight shoulder joints I wouldn’t skip out on the brand because their figures are amazing Also Hasbro has some pretty bad QC issues, the No Way home wave was pretty notorious

[@CarlosSoto-xe2we]

You have over 10!! I'm jealous!!! I have 4, 2 I inspected they seem like they're good, the other 2 I'm scared to open 😅 They're probably ok, I just feel bad for people that do get QC issues. Hurts more if it's top tier like Mafex vs Marvel Legends
