CT Toys - Spider-Man (Classic)
CT Toys is heavy on my radar right now. I was pleasantly surprised with Wolverine but this Spider-Man figure has made me a full fledged believer. Included are 5 sets of alternate hands, 1 with magnets (6 in all if you count the ones he comes equipped with), 1 extra set of articulated feet with magnets, 4 web streams and an alternate McFarlane style head sculpt. Oh, and a display stand. I've said in the past how sucky I am at posing action figures. That said, MAFEX/CT figs are great for posing, even if you're not very good at it. It's "kid gloves" with these guys, though, as they are a little gummier than Legends figures. CT Toys Wolvie and Spidey! Here's CT Toys Spidey next to a couple of Marvel Legends Spider-Man figures. The differences are pretty pronoun...
1990 Toy Biz Marvel Superheroes Daredevil
Growing up we had lots of cool superhero toys to collect. There was never a shortage of Batman, Superman or Spiderman figures in the toy aisles. Mainstream characters got all the love. Dudes like Daredevil, not so much. That all changed in the mid to late 80's (Mattel Secret Wars) and in 1990 Toy Biz would start releasing their seemingly neverending line of Marvel Superheroes that gave us action figures of everybody from Daredevil to Deathlok.
I didn't see the move. I just could not. Christopher Reeve...There will never be another.
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen it either, but Henry Cavil does a decent job imo.
DeleteI like this figure quite a bit, despite it's cheapness, could have done with more articulation, but I'm happy with the detail there is in the sculpt. Though I will say that the rubber that the arms and legs are molded in has begun to perish on mine giving it a layer of grey dust which is a bit disconcerting.
ReplyDeleteI didn't notice that until last night after taking pics,D.The chest area was significantly brighter than the limbs.You can even see It In the pic.It Is a nice figure,and I'd like to hunt down more from this line.
ReplyDeleteI've seen several of them in Marcs and 5Below for $3-$5. Too bad there wasn't more character variety in the line.
