I can’t remember the last time I felt that a Hot Toys figure was lacking that something extra special, but I was expecting a bit more from this announcement. There’s lots of things I think that Hot Toys could do to spice this up – throw in the black costume, give us an unmasked head, and maybe even a ripped mask to go over that unmasked head.
As it stands right now, this looks like a perfectly serviceable Spidey for your 12-inch collection, but I think I’d need more to feel compelled to pick one up.

I am not digging the plastic boots, but this is still a must-buy for me.
