SpideyWeb's Guide on Spider-Man Figures

Hi peeps, I have been wanting to do this for the longest time. I have
been a Spidey fan since young and the only action figure I ever
wanted was a Secret Wars Spidey, which I never got round to owning
(*sigh*). Anyhow, I came to terms with that as I was unable to find
the figure then (no internet and no income at that time). But when I

This is the official McF Spidey. The design was based on Todd
McFarlane's artwork. The points of articulation (POA) was fantastic in
its time. The finger articulation enables our friendly neighbourhood

individual finger articulation and the bicep twist. The rest of the

This wave also includes the black Spidey, Man-Spider and and a
half-transformed Venom.
Clamshell Spider-Man Classics Series Two Amazing

Fantasy Spidey
Following the success of Clamshell SMC Series One, Toy Biz
introduced the second wave of SMC. This time this wave was
launched with Kaybee exclusives of Spider-Man 2099 and Scarlet
Spider. The other figures include Battle-ravaged Spidey, Rhino, red
Daredevil and the ever so rare Yellow Daredevil.

However, the main figure is the Amazing Fantasy Spidey, or more

affectionately known as Ditko Spidey as inspired by Steve Ditko's art
in Amazing Fantasy #15. There were 2 different packaging as well,
the more common one is the one with the Amazing Fantasy #15
reprint inserted whereas the other is a silver foil poster.
One other "running change" worth mentioning would be that some of
this Ditko Spidey actually had an improvement in articulation. It has
the added bicep twist. Most of them do not. I am fortunate enough to
find one with the bicep twist. There was no breakthrough
improvement in articulation and they only have the "thwip" finger
articulation. The clamshell SMC ended with this wave despite doing
very well. Thereafter they introduced the red-carded SMC (which I
will refer to as SMC now onwards).

Some good read on clamshell SMC in the link below:

http://actionfigures.about.com/library/arc/blar-smc.htm
SMC 6 Parachute Spidey

Toy Biz restarted the ever loved SMC with a red-carded version.
However, first 5 waves seen many versions of Spidey which did not
catch my attention at all. In wave 6, theres this Parachute Spidey
(commonly known as Para Spidey) that made many US collectors
named it the definitive Spidey.
Personally I did not like the Para Spidey as he look more "cartoony"
Ad Options
Ads by Fox yLy rics

than comic accurate. Para-advocates
like the fact that he is slim and
had painted weblines, as many of the Spidey figures out there sport
sculpted weblines instead. It also has the "bent" 2 middle finger
articulation that allows it to have a nicer "thwip" pose but it looks
very weird in any other position.
Para Spidey was reissued into many other Spideys in subsequent
waves (I can't even remember what were most of them). One notable
reissue was that this Para Spidey was reissued in the Urban Legends
boxset. The only difference what that in Urban Legends boxset, the
blue was a deeper blue than the regular Para Spidey.

Despite not liking Para Spidey, I got myself 2 of it.
SMC 10 Snap Shot Spidey

This Spidey is the first comic version Spidey to sport individual finger
articulation (first being Spidey 2 movie superposeable Spidey). I like
this Snap Shot's head sculpt very very much. However, there were
man quality issues complaints on it, saying that the pegs are very
brittle and breaks easily. There was a running change, the initial
release had red coloured plastic pegs whereas the later batches had
blue pegs. The quality of the blue pegs were claimed to be much
worse but it is not exactly confirmed.
This is also the first Spidey figure to be able to do a nice four-point
crouch, not to mention the numerous awesome poses with the
included display stand. One complain I have is the hips of Snap-Shot.
For many angles he looks as though he has too large a hip but it's

nothing that can't be managed by adjusting the camera angle.

Sinister Six boxset Spidey

This Sinister Six boxset Spidey (SS Spidey) has much of the base body
as Snap Shot and many people mistaken them to be the same. They
are not. The headsculpt is different and even the body has slight
differences. SS Spidey was considered to be Romita Sr's redition
(correct me if I am wrong). This is also the first Spidey to have a
webbing accessory added for the webbed wing effect (ML10 FA Spidey
and Fearsome Foes boxset Spidey being the others).

Action
This is IT! This is THE Spidey for me. When this was introduced, many
people called this a McFarlane Spidey re-do. However, over time,
Jesse Falcon from Toy Biz confirmed that this is in fact the rendition
of Campbell's artwork and hence the official "Campbell Spidey". But
you know how fans are like, many insisted on calling this McF Spidey
(me inclusive).
Campbell Spidey must have the most beautiful body sculpt (a little
lanky though) with the nicest sculpted fingers.

Marvel Legends Series 10 (Sentinel) First

Appearance Spidey
This is the first Spidey (in fact the ONLY Spidey) that appeared in the
ML line. It is a re-do of the Ditko's Spidey in Amazing Fantasy. A
reprint of Amazing Fantasy was also included with the figure.
This ML10 FA Spidey comes with Sentinel's head and chest as part of
the Build-a-Figure (BAF). The complaint on this Spidey is the fingers.
Even though each finger is individually articulated, the fingers are of
EQUAL length, making them look more like sausages. In addition, this
Spidey has the hinged shoulder joint with is rather useless.

SMC 16 Super Strength Spidey

This is the first worthy SMC Spidey after SMC changed the card to
light blue card instead of the initial red card. Many US folks love this
version of the Spidey. I had gotten him, however, I am not exactly
impressed with him, not to mention that Super Strength Spidey had
the Para Spidey's finger articulation and not the individual finger
articulation.

Fearsome Foes of Spidey boxset Spidey

This Spidey has the same base body as Campbell Spidey, just sporting
a different head sculpt. I have yet to own this figure as Fearsome
Foes of Spidey boxset never made it to Singapore at retail.
Will try my best to get my hands on him for completion sake even
though I prefer Campbell's headsculpt.

Comic Black Spidey
Clamshell SMC Series One Black Spidey

This is part of the Clamshell SMC Series One. It is the same base body
as the red/blue McF version with the exception that it is a totally
smooth body.

SMC 9 Black Spidey

This is the re-do of the Secret Wars black Spidey using a new
articulated base body. For those who are familiar with Marvel
Legends, this has the same base body as ML7 Iceman. The finger
articulation no longer is the "thwip" pose. It is the full palm
articulation that allows the hand to be open or closed into a fist. This
is alright since black Spidey shoots web from the white patch at the
top of his hand when he is donning the alien costume.

After Hasbro took over the Marvel license, they reissued this black
Spidey with silver paint instead of white paint. The figure (even the
hang-glider accessory) is exactly the same.

Thanks alot bro! This is very useful. However need to ask you,
which vers has the best 4 point crouch? From the looks of it,
the Snap Shot one looks better than the McF vers, can clarify?
Also, if you have time, you should do the movie Spidey
comparisons too, I really enjoyed this. There should be more
of such reviews for other characters as well, hehe.
Cheers,

Sorry for the late reply. Thanks for your support! I really
enjoyed myself doing this review too. Always wanted to have
something like that for reference but never found it so
decided to give a go at it. Yeah maybe when I have the
opportunity, I should try the movie figures as well. But I guess
it would be hard to get all of them and especially most of
them are the same figure with just different bases.
As for the 4 point crouch, I think both can be as nice depends
on how you pose it. I have actually seen Para Spidey did some
decent 4 point crouch. If you check out marvellegends.net
the Spidey pose on the mansion is actually McF Spidey with
Snap Shot's head, and it's pretty decent. Hope this helps!

Sorry I do not know any online store that still sells Snap Shot.
Think the black Spidey you can still find from the reissue from
Hasbro in the Spider-Man Origins line. But a nicer black Spidey
would be out in the Target wave soon I think. Anyway I know
about the Shoot n Trap Spidey, but I don't like the action
feature and hence did not include it in my review. I only
added in the figures I think worth getting and without action
feature. I know there are some artist renditions that I have
missed including in the review (e.g. Alex Ross Spidey in Dual
Web Swinging Spidey from SMC 12). Thanks for the kind
compliments!

Not sure what you mean by a clear body? It would be useful if
you have a picture. I know a bluish transparent Spidey figure
called the Sea Battle Spidey from the old 5 inch line. Is this
it?

The Snap-Shot Spider-man figure is actually based on Ross
Andru's rendition of Spidey, which many consider to be the
definitive look for the character during the 70s.
