Inkblot2 Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Hey all, Any idea where this is from? Couldn't find this on the database or Google search. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valo487 Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 It's the Sandman from the Spiderman five pack with a hairpiece on it that I don't think it came with. The five pack that came with Hydro Man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inkblot2 Posted September 7, 2015 Author Share Posted September 7, 2015 Thank you. This threw me for a loop. I have the head piece but the clear face under it is bald? That's odd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valo487 Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 I think it was supposed to represent him dissolving into sand completely, but I don't know if that can translate well in 'mate form. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inkblot2 Posted September 7, 2015 Author Share Posted September 7, 2015 yeah, def. an odd piece. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiniFiend UK Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 cola sandman for the lose. prob ranks as one of the worse minimates released. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polarboy Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Really, I have never seen it in the flesh but based on that picture i was just thinking it looked pretty cool, especially for an early figure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homestar17 Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 He's called "Powerhouse Sandman." http://www.minimatedatabase.com/figure.php?i=401&n=Powerhouse+Sandman He also comes with a slip-over face. I have 2 of them & they're pretty cool cuz they also have a sort of gritty feel -- like sand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MinnesotaIceman Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 Sandman............I love that son-of-a-beach. I see what you did there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nessex Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 Eh - it was released fairly early on. I like that DST experimented a bit with how to represent his powers. That 5-pack was one of my grails for quite a while. Even though i much prefer some of the more modern Sandmen, i've got a soft spot for the old Coca-cola Sandman.

arnim zola Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 I like to pretend he's been hit with doc ocks heat gun that turned him into glass, like that sinister six issue. Otherwise I like to pretend I don't own him by leaving him with riot spidey in the vault. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homestar17 Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 riot spidey Or, as I like to call him, "Ass-Handed-to-Him Spidey." I know we do the "Best of" lists every year, but have we ever done a "Worst" list? I nominate him -- Riot Spidey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I nominate him -- Riot Spidey. We need never do a worst list because we all know Riot Spidey is the worst minimate of all time. Rocket Raccoon is a better minimate than Riot Spidey. The Kevin Smith Vinimates are better than Riot Spidey. It's like trying to make a "worst film" contest since Birdemic and The Garbage Pail Kids movie were released. It's a foregone conclusion.

Heinous Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 Why is he considered the worst? I looked it up in the database and sure he looks terrible but I think I can come up with worse ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked it up in the database and sure he looks terrible but I think I can come up with worse ones.Well he's a variant of Spider-Man literally nobody wanted, the tears in the suit are literally just flesh colored triangles, he's got yellow fucking eyes, the hand with a cast on it is a Green Goblin claw from Ultimate GG and it makes his hand look inhuman, and that bruise on his face is just horrendously stupid, and finally it barely looks like anyone in particular much less Peter Parker. Shameful creation this one. Who do you think tops him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MisterPL Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 (Hail Ivan!) I don't have this one in my collection and I don't miss it one bit. (And don't get me started on Flashback Spider-Man from the same flick.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(And don't get me started on Flashback Spider-Man from the same flick.) I think that is the only wave of minimates that i intentionally skipped (i missed out on the Dollars trilogy for another reason) in my own humble opinion, a total waste of plastic and paint.

Trekker 42 Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 That... Is a close second but it at least represents what it's supposed to be. Riot Spidey doesn't manage to be anything. At all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buttheadsmate Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 (edited) I'm not sure that 'Riot' deserves his almost legendary position of 'Worst .... ' although count me amongst those that have lampooned it over the years . I count the Battle Beast 'Zik' as the most disappointing Minimate ever made ......in one foul swoop my Battle Beast Minimate line expectation was destroyed .

luke314pi Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 I think part of Riot Spidey's reputation is that it happened during a time when there were no new Minimate announcements for like 6 or 7 months. Nothing at all. We didn't have someone like Zach around to give us updates, and we were starting to wonder if the line was over. Then, over a year after Marvel Minimates Series 11, and waiting and hoping for new characters, we finally get Series 12, and it had that crappy Riot Spidey in it.

Polarboy Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 At least Spidey isn't in the process of chewing his own face off like this chap Hail Ivan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
