Didn't see a topic on this yet. Found the new Spidey figures at Wal-Mart last night. In line pricing wise with Star Wars and other Marvel figures at 7.99. Looked like there were around 8 different figures. No Doc Ock or Rhino yet.

I ended up picking up Aqua Spidey, limited articulation but I think he's pretty cool. Geared up black costume Spidey, good articulation and looks awesome with the mask/armor. Green Goblin, I like this version a bit better I think than the new Marvel Universe one. Venom, overall a great sculp, only real downside is no knee articulation. Venom does have a cool missile launcher that can double as a head sucker type thing.

Pardon the pics, had to use my cell camera since my regular cameras battery is MIA.

I just saw these tonight as well, great accessories but no real interest in the figures (although the Spidey w/Doc Ock tentacles is VERY tempting... ).

I suppose I should be grateful that this first wave holds zero interest for me. My wallet can use the break. But I sure do hope Rhino sports some decent articulation whenever he lumbers out.

How is the articulation on Venom??

Venom articulation - Neck, Shoulder, Elbow and Thigh. No Knee. Shoulder and Thigh joints are the Marvel Legends style where it's a ball but also rotates up/down. I'm sure we'll see a re-release of Venom sooner than later with Knee/Ankle/Wrist articulation so that we can buy him twice. I can't find my SHS version to compare. But from memory of how that Showdown one was, I prefer this one. None of the figures so far had Ab/Chest articulation from what I had noticed.

These are just like the 12th scale Spider-Man line from the perspective of getting half purely kiddy oriented figures in a case, and half adult with kiddy accessories.

So far I'm liking them quiet a bit.

Thanks for the info. I'm going to pick him up when I see him. Then SHS version was sweet too, I thought.

Actually, I posted about seeing these in the Ironman thread since that was where the previous discussion about them was.

I'll get Scuba Spidey for my son (4.5-years-old), and Venom for myself.

Thanks for the intel, might have to keep an eye out for them, but nothing beats the SHS Venom, he's the bestist sculpt to date.

yeah the SHS venom was great, still have mine too

That doesn't even sound like it's worth shoplifting for.

I found these the other day, and yay! Variants!

I found a Venom with a tongue. I was confused, at first, because I thought the figure came without a tongue. Then a quick online search when I got home, and yep, there are two versions.


My son got the Black Costume Spidey, and I must say, aside from the lack of ankle and wrist articulation, I honestly think it one of the best Black Costume Spidey figures ever made.

I for sure like his build and overall size far better than the MU Black Costume Spidey. The MU one is just far too big, to me.

That line has very inconsistent articulation (must've taken a cue from the Wolverine Origins toyline), but it amuses me that their Super-Poseable Spider-Man is less poseable than the Marvel Universe Spider-Man.
I would've gotten that Venom if they'd bothered giving him knee articulation...

Has anyone bought the pullback motor vehicles from the line? I'm curious how Joes would look riding them.

On another Marvel note, Toys R Us has put out the Ironman 2 figures.

The new Green Goblin looks better than the first one, but I've seen him in person...less articulation.
