Limbo Posted March 1, 2004 Author Posted March 1, 2004 (edited) It would be awesome if they make a doc ock to go with it... they could use tentacles in a similar way from the matrix sentinel deluxe toy... and btw, that's another big fricking toy. I'm seriously thinking in hanging my spidey on the ceiling, just above my monitor... Edited March 1, 2004 by Limbo Quote
UN Spacy Posted March 1, 2004 Posted March 1, 2004 Ugh. Hey Limbo.....Spidey doesn't look too menacing lying on that chair. Hehehehe. It looks like he's taking a lamase (sp) class. Quote
Limbo Posted March 1, 2004 Author Posted March 1, 2004 It is a hard world we live today, my friend, even Spiderman had to take a part time job as a pilates instructor Quote
Guppy Posted March 1, 2004 Posted March 1, 2004 lol - exo.. someone has discovered the why twisty-ties exist! Everyone will now be digging through the trash to reclaim their Gundam FIX boxes! and 15 points of articulation in the hand! OMG Quote
Neova Posted March 1, 2004 Posted March 1, 2004 That is one great toy! Whoever said 18" was too big for a toy, we all have something to compare to now! Yamato get crack'n on those 1/48 M+, M0 and M:VFX Valkyries now! /emails American brother to pick up Spidey for me. Quote
EXO Posted March 1, 2004 Posted March 1, 2004 Just picked mine up from Walmart for $21.96. This guy is definetly worth every penny. They need to make a Spawn Figure this big with a lot of detail and articulation. damn i hear that! spawn with that much articulation...*drools, wipes it up and drools again* McFarlane and articulation don't belong in the same sentence... This is better than having one of those wooden posers to help drawing. And cheaper too. Quote
ZorClone Posted March 1, 2004 Posted March 1, 2004 holy freakin crap! that thing might be replacing my Smokescreen on my desk at work soon... Quote
BoBe-Patt Posted March 1, 2004 Posted March 1, 2004 HEHE, I saw a bunch of these at walmart in monrovia while I was picking up my 20th prime. I should've picked one up, but I'll do so next time. Damn I'd die if they made a black costume version and a mcfarlane type venom or even a eric larson type! Quote
Angel's Fury Posted March 1, 2004 Posted March 1, 2004 how poseable is the neck/head? It looks weird in all the pics...the rest of it looks sweet though. It is pretty good. A Ball-join at the base of the neck and another connecting the head... it is kind of cool because you can tilt his head and the neck to the other side if you want On the pic he's holding the jet above you can see the range of the neck when looking up. This is one of the best sculpts of spidey I've ever seen, IMHO. I agree with you there, based on the pics you posted. I wonder if they're selling this up here? Quote

Limbo Posted March 1, 2004 Author Posted March 1, 2004 (edited) I wonder if they're selling this up here? Where is "up here"? Alaska? Norway? Mars? I need more info to give you an exact answer I got mine on walmart for a little more than 20 bucks... the toy is being heavily sighted on Toys r Us and Target too...

NERV Posted March 1, 2004 Posted March 1, 2004 i just got the toy and it was surprisingmy disappointing, the hands are really weird looking and thumb joints on both hands are messed up, i also wish the hips had more flexibility, ill stick with my small superposeable spiderman Quote

Too loose? one of the fingers was very loose on my spidey... I've put some clear nail polisher on the join and now is just tight and fine. I can't even remember wich one had the problem Try to play with it for a while, see if you can soft the articulation a little bit. I'm actually on the range of being quite brutal with the legs and arm joins... They are just too tight and may take a while for you to figure all the range some parts can reach... I hope the toy growns on you. I'm loving it! Quote

NERV Posted March 2, 2004 Posted March 2, 2004 well one of the thumbs is too loose and the othe rone doesnt move at all i even decided to reisk breakingit and i forced it but just went back i tihnk the thumb on mine was assembled with a regular finger joint, also the hips wudnt be as bad if the torso was more flexible, on the small one the torso can basicly flex anywhich way on this one its jot one forward back joint and one chest rotating joint Quote
mpchi Posted March 2, 2004 Posted March 2, 2004 Nerv. If the problem is bad enough, you can always exchange for another one even if you have opened it. No worries there. Quote
Jolly Rogers Posted March 2, 2004 Posted March 2, 2004 Sorry, just couldn't resist... this pose reminds me of the Tarzan figure from the animated Disney movie. Quote
NERV Posted March 2, 2004 Posted March 2, 2004 Nerv. If the problem is bad enough, you can always exchange for another one even if you have opened it. No worries there. no worries, i returned it, i generally perfer smaller toys anyway, i love stikfas Quote

Vancouver??? Hey, my mom's there this week. If you see a lady taking half an hour to get on an escalator, tell her her son said HI! Quote
Blaine23 Posted March 2, 2004 Posted March 2, 2004 Operation Spidey a complete success. Time: Lunch break. Drove to Target - price 24.99... being thrifty, I drove approximately .002 miles to Wal-Mart - price 21.96. Spidey purchased. Spidey opened in car. Seventeen thousand twist-ties removed. Twist-ties actually saved for the first time ever (thanks for the idea, EXO!). Box chunked in nearby trash-bin. Sandwich eaten quickly. Returned to office. Thank god for cheap, enormous, jaw-droppingly cool toys. I never, ever get to say that. Spidey will be taking his place amongst the shelf of Spideys at home. Pics to follow. Quote

mpchi Posted March 2, 2004 Posted March 2, 2004 Drove to Target - price 24.99... being thrifty, I drove approximately .002 miles to Wal-Mart - price 21.96. Cool. I was thinking of doing that, but the Walmart closest by is about 10-15 miles away, while ToysRUs and Target is about 5 miles in the opposite direction. If I choose to go Walmart & they sold out, the waste of gas will probably get me closer to $24.99. So I went with ToysRUs, and luckily, they got a lot, so I was able to pick a pretty nice looking one out of the bunch. About the quality in general, they tend to vary from figure to figure. From the few that I've seen and the one that I own, the tightness of the joints vary from one to the other. On mine, the elbows, hips, and knees are very tight, but the left hip is a bit looser than the right. But the couple other ones I've handled, the hips and knees are looser than mine, while all the elbows seem just as tight. One has a neck that can't pose straight, while another has a very tight ab joint. Fingers were fine on all, with some looser than the others. I personally prefer tight than loose, as it hold poses better and last longer, but you need to work on the poses more each time. The hips of mine are so tight that my co-worker thought they can't even move. I guess you can't ask for too much when it comes to $24.99 or less. Quote
Cyclone Posted March 2, 2004 Posted March 2, 2004 Damn I'd die if they made a black costume version Repeat this in bold 40 times for me. The normal sized Black Costume Superposable is one of my all-time fav toys. I'd import a large size Black Costume. At the moment I'll just wait for these guys to funnel down here, which might take awhile Cyc Quote

How were you able to figure out which figure is tighter than the other? Did you take them out of the box and individually checked them? Quote

I bought one for myself and another for my godson. I haven't opened his yet... though I noticed that Spidey was in a different pose in each box... kinda cool. Joints on mine are nice and tight... the leg/knee joints in particular have a nice ratcheting sound. Feels solid as a tank. I think NERV just likes smaller toys. Quote

At the moment I'll just wait for these guys to funnel down here, which might take awhile Cyc I wouldn't worry too much. Toy Biz has never, ever been afraid to reuse the hell out of an existing mold - particularly any Spidey mold. I imagine you'll see a blue/red variant and eventually a black costume variant. But it probably won't be until after all of the movie hubub. I myself, would kill a thousand chickens for Jobu, if I thought it would make the difference. Quote
Golden Arms Posted March 3, 2004 Posted March 3, 2004 Damn I gotta get me one of those. Do you guys think they'll make A few X-men. I'd love to see a nightcrawler or even wolverine. Quote
Isamu Atreides 86 Posted March 3, 2004 Posted March 3, 2004 i want Ultra Posable Rogue, Emma Frost and Psylocke figures..... ....er, because they'd look cool.... Quote
Golden Arms Posted March 3, 2004 Posted March 3, 2004 Naw Isamu I'd want storm or Sage( as Tessa in her black Hellfire club Lingerie outfit). Jean as Dark Phoenix would be kinda cool as well. Quote
