RedTiger95 Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 I would have liked a new helmet mold but at least it's not the Mark 42 helmet again. There is an onslaught of Spider-Man Homecoming merchandise but didn't see these at TRU yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onyx_6 Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 These and the Legends were missing when I checked TRU today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MisterPL Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 I thought about doing the same thing but I associate a grinning movie Batman with this guy: I really should associate it with this one though: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedTiger95 Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 (edited) I'm guessing none of the TRU Spidey's will have alternate Peter heads? Edited May 20, 2017 by RedTiger95 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stack32 Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 I think this is a nice wave if a bit unexciting. I suppose it will be easier to judge once the movie comes out. A few thoughts: -The Spider-Man figure is really good, it's very detailed and the webs line up well. You can see the webs through the white eyes but it's not as bad as many recent Spider-Man figures. -The sculpted webs on the web shooters for the homemade suits are interesting, I didn't expect that detail. -So many webline accessories. It would be nice to replace this with just about anything else. -Vulture's another cool minimate and the Keaton likeness on Vulture is one of the best I've seen. -The stands don't fit the feet very well again. The flight stand does fit Vulture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UK Collector Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 I really like this wave, but Spidey has always been my favourite. The new MCU costume is such a great design for toys. Credit to DST for getting this wave out before the movie. Not sure that's happened before, and they normally get a lot of flak for missing a movie release.

It's exactly what I'd want in a live-action Spidey costume. I'll still get Stark Spidey for my MCU Avengers/Civil War display. And DST got the GotGv2 wave out before the movie too. I'm really liking this trend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bofox Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 Does anyone have tips on how to straighten out the web line accessories? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been told certain religions have camps for such a thing but they're generally considered ineffective and occasionally inhumane. ... honestly though I'd take something heavy, tape it to the end of one, and find something to hang it from and maybe it'll de-curl eventually.

Heinous Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 (edited) I just attach one end to a larger bulked up Minimate and the other end to something else and let the mate hang for an hour or two. I'm sure heating it up with water then stretching it out then holding it under cold water would work also Edited May 22, 2017 by Heinous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turtle Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 Yeah, you can drop it in boiling water for a minute, safely pull it out, and dunk it in cold while holding the new form/shape in place. Usually works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stack32 Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 After having these on display for about a week I've found Vulture has a problem: The weight of his wings will eventually cause the knees to bend and the figure will topple over backwards. The knees were pretty tight when I got the figure so I don't think it's a quality issue. It's manageable if you set up your display carefully but could be bad news if you're not expecting it, those wings could cause a serious domino effect.

RedTiger95 Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 Maybe articulated wings would have helped the weight? But I know that would have cost a lot to engineer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hellpop Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 That's a really sharp package design. One of the best I've ever seen. I can't help but imagine people thinking it's some kind of error, to have two Iron Man characters in a Spider-Man package. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NerdyTrev Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 This new Happy looks so much better than the other one. Likeness to Favreau is leaps and bounds better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bofox Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 Zach, is there any chance of bringing back an open-palmed repulsor hand for Iron Man? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSTZach Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 I'm sure there's a chance, the designer is always trying to do stuff like that, but there are logistical considerations. Hopefully he can make it happen again someday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
