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...
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.
Hope you end up finding a Man at Arms in the wild.
ReplyDeleteMe too, Fuji. I'm also looking forward to other figures in the line.
DeleteWhat is it? (Besides Orko) - Looks like a robot underneath.
ReplyDeleteHa ha! Yeah hes like a robot vessel for Orko. It's kind of wierd. Kinda like Orko was downloaded into the robot shell.
DeleteStill trying to find these in the wild for me and my kids! All we can find around here is He-Man and Skeletor. Nice find & congrats!
ReplyDeleteThanks Spyda! It's hit or miss out here. I'm kind of digging the larger scaled figures, too.
ReplyDelete...THIS is the one I'm after! Want to use him in my MOTU Origins display!
