I just noticed we can't seem to close his fists. I don't know how many of you have Galactus on order, or thinking about him, but this seems like a concern for those worried about posing. Are there any other details that you can see that makes you say "pass"? Size and price I can understand, I'm mainly talking about articulation criticisms. He came up as a waitlist option and now I'm considering a pass.
How would you incorporate them, if at all? Cameo, Easter egg, or full book?
Just got these today by surprise, and I wanted to share with you guys. I hope we get a Crimson Cowl costume in the future.
I’m not expecting Spider-Man free roam of course but I really hope we have areas with several side “rooms” to explore as we’re slashing through mobs. Because if the whole experience is just fight room, long hallway run, action QTE sequence, and slow walk explore room for Easter eggs then I have some concerns. The Origins Wolverine game had level design where you could go off the main path to find collectibles, surprise enemies, and other stuff, and I kind of want that here. If it’s too on the rails, then I worry about engagement and replay value.
Anyone else have these concerns after watching the new footage?
FACT: Spider-Man is one of the most profitable IPs out there, especially with Hot Toys
FACT: Spider-Man interest is at an all time high, evidence being Brand New Day
FACT: Spider-Man by Insomniac Games is one of the most recognizable and profitable incarnations
So why not expand the line? We already have numerous Spider-Man variants/costumes from the game, and we already have a monstrous Venom figure. With Hot Toys toe-tipping into non movie content such as Marvel Comics itself, and animated projects such as Arcane and KPOP Demon Hunters, are we about due for some new non-movie related Spidey bad guys? Or are the designs too ambitious to be cost effective?
Would you pick any or all of these up for your Spider-Man display? How does Hot Toys normally gauge interest for new products?
I can’t unsee Parker as Tony Montana. A man who wants it all, and can’t see that the path that he’s on will ultimately destroy him.
"Uh, yeah....It's Ultron-5 coming to you LIVE. Times Square....LETS GO
Pop a drone on a fleshie cause can't find cover
Hela can't hit me cause she sees how I hover
Gotta Spidey thinkin his kills are meaningful
With Galacta in my ear shouting STOP THAT VEHICLE!
Haters talkin S#!* cause they look at my score
Wonder why that is? Couldn't be their Star-Lord
Doesn't matter, I climb the ladder, ignoring all your stupid chatter
Got a permanent smile, shining with electroplated matter
They won't add villains cause I'm the OG
Don't care about meta, nerfs can't seem to stop me
Dominating the mic, like matches, the mechanical bomb
Rhymes slapping like my dad like he did to my mom
616, represent, win or lose, I'm having a ball
You're one trick, you're trash, "Well you can't win them all"
Unless I’m completely mistaken, it was my impression that to play as Felicia you flank and dive the enemy backline/supports. However given the coin farming, and healer cooperation, this hasn’t worked for me. However I’ve run better matches sticking with my team, off angle attacking weaker targets be they duelist or vanguard. The only shop item I would use is the invisibility but I mainly save coin for attacks.
Is this weird, or is this a viable strategy?
This wasn't conveyed in the Captain America movie but one of the things that makes Red Hulk unique is that he isn't merely powered by Gamma radiation, but Cosmic Radiation as well. It's the same power source that changed the Fantastic Four, and which makes him burn hot to the touch. I was curious if there were any collectors that thought about modifying their figure. If so, I'd love to see you share the results.
I think what it really comes down to is what someone is looking for in terms of accessories. I own the New Red & Blue, and Insomniac Classic, so personally I'm fine skipping the new one. If you want a Holland head sculpt, then maybe R&B is for you. If you want the Scorpion base, more prominent web shooters, and winter wear, then maybe BND is more appealing.
Or are there other factors between the two that have you leaning one way or another?
Like even if you’re not a Ruffalo fan (which is completely understandable), I think this guy has great shelf presence and invokes classic Incredible Hulk. Do you agree or disagree?
I just noticed the controls are a bit weird. Delays in input where precise traversal is off and combat often doesn’t always dodge/parry. Granted part of it may be me being rusty but the rhythm as a whole feels odd. Can anyone else relate?
As a follow up to my previous post I decided to poke around the map to decode other possible messages. I found two more. Apocalypse's revival chamber reads "AND I WILL BE REBORN, YUR LIBERATOR, YUR GOD" if I did this correctly. The monument in Khonshu's spawn room temple near the final point reads "ALL HAIL KHONSHU".
Couldn't quite make out what the sword says. If you guys want to take a crack at it, post below.
Easy Miss Considering All The Other Reveals. You think it'll be pristine or battle damaged, or both with accessories?
Fun little thing I've found. In Apocalypse's pyramid, right before you enter Khonshu's Temple, there's a clear message. Reading from top to bottom it reads "ALL HAIL APOCALYPSE". Not the most insightful message, but a pretty cool attention to detail rather than just throwing up random symbols. Maybe it's worth poking around other maps to find smaller details.

Hopefully official images are soon released. Thought I’d share
I had a ranked match where a teammate dragged his feet on selection, we all ran to point to stop the cart, and the guy picked 3rd dps with no 2nd healer. Naturally that starts the match poorly and puts everyone in a bad mood. This then results in panic switching upon death, and no communication. Then we have a mantis who is doing poorly not communicating and not switching when offered/asked.
I’m totally fine you vocalizing what class you feel comfortable with. I can work with you. Let me help you dammit
Have a chance to get it $150 new. Any current owners with comments and criticisms? I have Ant-Man, and was debating if I should pull the trigger. Wish I had known sooner, but I splurged on Hulk and Thing
Was curious if we’d hear something this SDCC or later next month when Lanterns debuts. Assuming both Hal and John get costumes and costumed figures, which would you want on display? Unlikely as it is, I’d actually want a yellow suit Sinestro
I saw this and thought I'd share it here. Normally I don't spread rumors but this is so odd that I'm half inclined Marvel Comics and Disney are insane enough to do it, and wanted to hear from you guys. As always, take it with a grain of salt, could (and likely to) be fake. Spoilers for BND too.
So yeah, wild. This is so out there that part of me is concerned that it may end up true. But if not, thank god. What do you think?
