Many others were based off of the video game designs (such as Mysterio and Scorpion) while others still were based off of comic designs (Vulture, Rhino, Shocker.)

I dug that Mysterio at the time (even moreso because he was voiced by Bruce Campbell in the game, who even made some in-game Army Of Darkness references...) and I thought that it was an interesting and varied line at the time, even if they weren't up to high standard that was set by ToyBiz's legends that Hasbro had just acquired the license from only months earlier.

Those figures marked the beginning of the end for Legends at that time, as the Legends line become more and more difficult to find thanks to Hasbro's bad exclusive marketing, and as the figures themselves kept getting smaller and smaller until finally giving birth to the Marvel Universe line.

James Arnold Taylor actually voiced Mysterio in-game, Bruce Campbell was the narrator ;)

Spider-Man shows up at the set of an unauthorized "biopic" being filmed about him, only to find Sam Raime counting cash and Bruce on the set as Mysterio. Sam's brother (whose name escapes me) says that they would be more than happy to pay for the rights, but they need to know who is under the mask first. After all...anyone can cash a check saying they are "Spider-Man".

A little bit of hilarity ensues, and Pete responds by saying they suck, or something along those lines before swinging away.

I miss the Ultimate books. Funny stuff.

The gauntlets and boots might "pop," but they are also inaccurate to the comics.



Except the cape has a giant peg going through it and as Jay C showed, it falls off way too easily due to the snap on the front. Those alone instantly make it inferior.

Best of luck to the rest of you as well. I purposefully did not post the link because I'm not sure it's allowed, but google is your friend.
