Although I have the superlative Fearsome Foes version, I would love to see how Hasbro would tackle him. And the Toy Biz Mysterio definitely needs an update.

There are sooo many Spidey villains they need to do though. I don't know that I could put them in order.

Seamus McSeamus · 05-25-2016, 12:06 AM

I'm with you on Mysterio, since I really don't care for the Toybiz version. Though I dunno if I can see Hasbro sculpting the texture of his costume, and I think that's kind of necessary to get the look right...

I've got the Select Lizard and I love it. I don't mind Lizard being bigger than the rest of Spidey's villains on the shelf; I like him being a little more freakish and bestial than the others.

Mysterio would look odd without the textures on his suit. I'd almost expect Hasbro to just paint on the lines, like with all their comic Spidermen lately.

Select Lizard really does look great. I love how his labcoat isn't overly tattered like most releases of him. How noticeably out of scale is he next to 6in figures by the way?

Seamus McSeamus · 05-25-2016, 12:35 AM

Here's my display:

He's about a head taller than Venom and about the same as the BAF Rhino. I've seen him drawn that big and I like my villains to have a really intimidating shelf presence, so I'm good with it.

Nice display! He doesn't stand out as much as I thought. His size is a definite plus, and I can't imagine a Legends release giving off the same intimidation-vibe. Thanks for the help!

Seamus McSeamus · 05-25-2016, 01:09 AM

Mhm! I think the main downside to him is his articulation scheme; you aren't going to get many poses out of him. But I'm fine with that because he just looks so cool. Plus, he comes with the base that I've got Chameleon on, which is fun.

Not really. The Toy Biz Fearsome Foes Lizard is just about perfect to me. I'd like a Mysterio and new Sandman though.

SymbiSpidey · 05-25-2016, 08:49 AM

We're also in desperate need of an updated Shocker.

dam right , oh yeah hasbro ! time to show what your giving away at sdcc its your turn XD

Seamus McSeamus · 05-25-2016, 11:03 AM

I'm willing to bet Shocker is coming soon. He and Overdrive are the only figures we need to complete the Superior Foes, and Overdrive would be a stunningly easy case of reuse; a new helmeted head and a black Ghost Rider body.

Byrnes · 05-25-2016, 12:14 PM

Since I'm seeing a lot of Netflix DD stuff coming out I'm starting to wonder if the ML set will be just that. I'd dig it. With a BAF sized Kingpin, OH HELL YEAH!

LOL yeah. That's where my brain went to last night too.

I just realized I didn't put SDCC Exclusive in there. You probably had no idea what I was talking about.

Seamus McSeamus · 05-25-2016, 06:20 PM

If a new Kingpin (or anything I really want) is SDCC exclusive I'm gonna be upset. This is the first time I can't go in like, a decade.

Byrnes · 05-25-2016, 06:24 PM

I'm kind of hoping that's what it is now. Netflix style Murdock, Electra, Stick,Kingpin, Punisher. That would be a sick set.

Spyne98 · 05-26-2016, 06:46 AM

Hi everyone,

I've been out of action pretty much all week. I had some emergency eye surgery. Any SDCC Legends news? I had to stop working on any and all customs too. It's been a bad week.

Hope everything went well with your surgery. Hopefully, the downtime has allowed you to come up with some great custom ideas!

Sorry to hear it. Retinal detachment? That's what I had many years ago.

damn dawg....whuh hahppen??

TheBlueMarvel · 05-26-2016, 07:05 AM

Damn, Spyne. Sorry to hear that, man. Our eyes heal pretty quickly in general, so I hope your recovery is a speedy one. No SDCC info yet, and while there have been isolated reports of the Civil War Wave around the country, nothing in the NYC tri-state (that I know of)...and I've read no reports of Namor at Walgreens.

Spyne98 · 05-26-2016, 07:32 AM

Wow, thanks for the quick updates guys. I was going to have glaucoma surgery to relieve pressure in both my eyes, but after they made the slit in my left eye, the machine broke! Luckily, the little cut they made was enough to release a lot of pressure. They then did the same in the right eye. It's a temporary fix, I'm still looking at surgery in the future, just not sure when.
Thanks for the warm wishes everyone, I really love being part of this community.

Byrnes · 05-26-2016, 07:37 AM

Get well Spyne. Hopefully the SDCC news will be out soon. I think we're all dying to know.

Also don't we have a Arker who posts in the ML section just move to Kansas? Or maybe it was KC I can't remember, hopefully they are safe. They had some Tornado's roll through some part of that area yesterday and hit pretty hard.

More of a background lurker now on the Ark, but just saw this post, and just wanted to pop in and say I'm glad everything worked out for you Spyne! Glad to also see you keeping the customizing spirit strong on the forum. =)

It would be funny if the Namor figures have been in the pool section this entire time...
