I agree, D.Mark; That's a nice setup.

Nah, there was just one Spidey at the time as far as I remember. Thor was a clone though, Punisher shot him after he put a lightning bolt through Goliath's chest I'm pretty sure.

Hercules was the one who took out the impostor Thor.

@DarkToyLord: Thanks!
@BrownFinger - Nice shot! @Bo_Tef - at 300 bucks each I don't give a screw HOW many were in the comic (even though I believe it was just parker.) ----------------------------------- Wave W.H.A.M. Panzer World Galient TetsuKyojin Alright so quick thoughts on this thing because I was honestly astounded by this piece: Price: It's so rare that there aren't even listings to go from besides the ONE where I saw it in my 7 years of collecting this stuff for $750 shipped so I don't even know how to properly judge it's value but it retailed at just below. The retail was 19,740 JPY (around $180 in today's rates,) and I'd say it's an incredible deal for that price. Design: The one thing about the three non-model Galient Tetsukyojin toys I've seen (This, the Bandai Robot spirits, and the CMS Corps) is that they get the basics of the mech on to the point where on paper they'd have the same description but visibly have their own design cues/stylizations. Of the three, I easily like this one the best. the head sculpt, proportions, and fine detailing are certainly the most well done and high-end feeling. I do like the little things like light panel lining and whatnot too. The size is nice too; at 9.25" it fits in well with most modern diecast lines like Bandai's Soul of Chogokin and the various Sentinel lines. Build: It's a mixture of plastic and diecast with the majority of the diecast being within the frame and th shells of the lower legs. It's definitely not light, but certainly not too hefty and the joints don't have any weight bearing them down and weakening them. It's very well engineered. The paint applications are extremely well done and the matte finish much like Sentinel's Giant Gorg make the colors especially pop regardless of light and whatnot. Articulation: It's pretty much got the articulation of any modern toy in the sense of things like ab crunch, double elbow and knee joints and even little stiff like a rocking wrist on top of just swiveling. However, even though it has these things it's a pretty chunky bot in areas and doesn't achieve the extreme poses of say a Sentinel Riobot toy or something. Overall, it's a winner... and rare as shit. If you find one, snag it if the price isn't too insane. This was a huge grail for me and I'm glad to have not only obtained it but am especially glad that it's as good of a toy as the feedback I've gotten and rarity had led me to believe... in fact, it's better. Quick Snap:

You're right, there were three and they were clones. I think it was the Initiative book that featured them...

Did this happen post civil war? Because I know I'm fuzzy on a few things about that event, but I could swear Peter got that suit from Iron Man when he was still on the Pro-Registration side but ended up ditching it and eventually joining up with Cap and the Anti-Reg side.

"Hey guys! I'm here for Avengers tryouts!" "Sorry Webhead. We don't need you." "Wow... spider-angst tingling." "Keep your parasite to yourself, Venom!" MAFEX Spidey is awesome! Was a fun review to shoot!

EDIT I took a pic of Extremis Iron Man and the three Iron Spidermen I'd gathered for the specific purpose of harkening to the Initiative story. It's posted on this thread, but that's about 3 years back in the archive...I actually have 5 of Hasbro's Iron Spiders: 3 with a dull sheen for the MVPs, 1 translucent variant for Pete's active camouflage mode, and 1 deep red high-luster variant to represent Pete in full Iron Spider glory.

The Initiative ran concurrently with Civil War. After Peter betrayed him, Tony, then director of Sheild, outfits agents with the armor and dubs them Scarlet Spiders. What he doesn't know is that the agents are clones of MVP (3 of quite a few MVP clones - poor sap - he died a couple of times). That's from recall, so don't quote me on the particulars. What many don't know is that the Initiative was better, in ways, than Civil War. CW started great, but fizzled halfway through, especially given the sheer amount of times Tony had Cap dead to rights and just let him skate.

@tTef
No sweat, man. Many fans then, and even more in this new crop, are pretty oblivious to the Initiative. That's what happens when readers stick to the 'fad' books, they miss the gems hidden in plain sight. The Initiative is what actually gave CW gravitas. We got to see the wider fallout of Stamford, CT's tragic event playing out through the pages of the book. Marvel Legends fans are not even aware of the Legends we got because of the Initiative: off the top? - four Iron Spiders, an Initiative War Wachine, extremis Iron Man, and an anachronistic (the timing was out place and nonsensical, except for his regularly being featured in the Initiative) Yellow Jacket. Hank's fig even boasted what appeared to a redundant color variant - a deeper, richer yellow with a metallic luster consistent with his appearance in the book - while the standard version was a flat yellow, which I assume denotes the original YJ (I have both...again...bent lol). |
