At ToyFair, Hasbro told us that they would be continuing the Marvel Legends Gamerverse figures that launched with the Capcom Iron Man / Mega Man 3.75-inch 2-pack last year, but didn’t offer much more detail than that. Now they’ve let us know that Gamestop is getting two Gamerverse Spider-Man offerings, which look to be based on Insomniac’s Spider-Man game, due out in September for the PlayStation 4.
With all the positive buzz the game generated coming out of E3, these exclusives may be the hottest Spider-Man variants to hit Marvel Legends this year. You can pre-order them now:
- Spider-Man Legends Series 6-inch Gamerverse Spider-Man Figure
- Marvel’s Spider-Man Gamerverse Spider-Man vs. Mister Negative 2-pack
I must confess that since Gazillion went bankrupt, shuttering the Marvel Heroes video game, I haven’t paid much attention to Marvel games. But the gameplay video for Spider-Man that Sony shared at E3 looks amazing – I’m now wondering if I need a PlayStation 4!
The Marvel Legends figures look like faithful recreations of the Spidey from the game, minus some costume piping and textures that would likely have required more tooling and deco costs. Still, the design choices let Hasbro leverage the newer base bodies in both the 6-inch and 3.75-inch scales that have articulation worthy of Spidey.
These are worth a look, especially if you are into the upcoming game.
