TheMinimateKing30 Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 IK I'm replying to 15-year old thread, but Wave 24 Classic Spider-Man for me. To me, it's the definitive red and blue Spidey. Some close seconds would have to be Cap Reborn and Extremis Iron Man from Wave 32. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that Spiderman is dated and I'm not a fan of slip over masks. I think the definitive Spiderman is wave 76 Spidey from maximum carnage. Great details on the costume, plus Thwipp hands! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMinimateKing30 Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 Just now, Heinous said: I think that Spiderman is dated and I'm not a fan of slip over masks.

I, for one, like the slipover masks because I think it helps certain characters not look pinheaded. I tend to notice, especially more recently, that certain Minimates, mostly Spider-Men, have really small heads in proportion to their bodies. Some of the worst offenders I've seen of this are Marvel vs. Capcom Spidey and TASM2 Spidey. I guess it's on a case-by-case basis, but still. I also just love the detail and colors on it. Plus, that Peter Parker head, IMO, is just PERFECTION. I will concede on the Thwipp hands, tho. Having had the Wave 76 Spidey... those are pretty incredible accessories.

I love the teeth. This thing is badass and beautiful.  special shout out to the MCU Doctor Strange from the movie wave which is the best of the MCU minimates for nailing the likeness and looking beautifully detailed. Homecoming Spider-Man too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMinimateKing30 Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 For me, it's Classic Spider-Man from Wave 24. Just... I can't get enough of it. As far as red-and-blue Spideys go, it's my go-to for the character. Some close runner-ups would be Cap Reborn, Wave 32 Extremis Iron Man, and Venom Unleashed. Maybe even Infinity Gauntlet Thanos?

Gmonkey2k Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 (edited) My favorite for as long as I can remember, and was one of the last minimates I bought. Hail Ivan.

Freaqualizer Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 I’m quite partial to Marvel Ares. A good runner up would be Darkhawk. And then after him would be the comic Iron Patriot. So good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nandoninny Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 hmmm, this is a tough one but the later brown costume wolverine's have been pretty cool. the first cable (the one that came w/ x-23) was one of the ones that got me hooked on minimates. the deadpool/wolverine 2 pack is another. so i'm partial to those and the marvel zombies box set. but the marvel vs capcom has a lot of the best versions of a lot of marvel characters and for villians that dr doom just can't be touched. then there's modok. i bought extras of him just to have around the house.

HellfireSamurai Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 Currently for me it is Snake-Eyes from the current box set. Kind of a cheat but he is based off his A Real American Hero art which was published by Marvel originally..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cylonchaney Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 Wave 13 Riot attack Spiderman! - everyone's favorite Seriously, The classic Wave 2 black suit Spiderman and Wave 21 Mark 1 Iron Man are probably my favorites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buttheadsmate Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 Yet again I'll go with the previous poster , W2 Black Spidey is an absolute class act . Â The SM3 Movie 2 pack 'mates are amongst the best 'technically perfect' 'mates ever made , there are many excellent Spider-Man 'mates .....& Riot Spidey .

elhonez Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 There is no way I can pick just one. I think the Wave 41 Spider-Man + Green Goblin duo is a perfect pack, with my favorite Goblin 'mate and the ability to display him dragging a tied-up Peter Parker all over Manhattan. Doom is my favorite Marvel character, and I love the classics, so clearly I own multiple copies of Best Of Wave 2 Doctor Doom with his classic portrait and grey armor. And so very many more!  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SignatureChoice Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 It's great to see the love for 'base' (to use the vernacular of MMDatabase), as in plain or unadorned, minimates, like the aforementioned Symbiote Spidey from wave 2, though I must confess I could only dream of that figure at the time. I'd only seen the Wave 2 line-up  in Toyfare, a catalogue and of course those gorgeous group shots on the back of those early mates packaging. My well preserved and much perused card back came from the only Marvel minimate pack I had for quite some time indeed. It was battle-damaged spidey and venom, venom without what seemed from Aus to be quite the elusive tongue-head. Two base body minimates of two enemies, a lovely little vignette and showcase of the form with an intrinsic narrative (that can still go either way) in the form of spider-man's injuries. Like Trekker 42 I also have quite a fondness for zombie spider-man, both for his transparency and perhaps even his harkening back to that seminal battle damaged Spiderman. I feel like it's a earlier example of what makes elhonez suggestion (an absolute favourite of mine for much the same reasons he mentioned) so wonderful, even if the only accessory in Venom/BDSpidey is a webline as opposed to that magnificent glider and tow-line (and more) In my young mind that webline was the perfect accessory though, as not only could it hook onto itself (and real world objects!), but it was interchangeable, as (from my understanding then, and now tbh) Venom can also create webs and whathaveyou. I know it certainly made for thrilling adventures at the time, being something Spidey could use to escape whatever's roughed him up or something for venom to use to get the drop on him. Looking now I see the other half of the Symbiote Spider-Man variant was also Venom. Having one of my own now I see where buttheads and cylonchaney on how lovely mate I had a Toybiz black spidey around the same time that I had these aforementioned mates, if I'd have by chance had my nascent little self been gifted that version of the Venom pack (perhaps even with the variant head!) I'd have probably combusted from excitement lol On a lighter note, and in another example where the variant is bloody awesome, I think my favourite Marvel mate might be Chameleon/JJonahJameson, for both Chameleon's sleek, 'base' design suiting the character well and also the "storytelling" potential of the minimate (alone or with his perfect pack-in partner! Plain spidey mates will always be iconic so say we all no doubt) in both combative and more dialoguey play. This thread's really making me realise I kind of missed seeing many, many Marvel mate releases so I may well report back  Tl;Dr: Wave 2 Venom, Wave 7 (?) Chameleon/JJonahJameson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
