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...
Proportions are a little off, but Remco did a pretty good job with that head sculpt.
ReplyDeleteRemco was our go to action figure ,in a pinch,when our X-Mas money was running low and we needed a nice stand In for our MOTU collection.
DeleteThe base for many custom action figures. Somewhere there is a massive pile of Rick Martel heads whose bodies are leading new and exciting lives without them.
ReplyDelete"Pile of Rick Martel Heads".Sounds like the name of an Alternative Rock band.
