Anyway, moving on from unclean heathens who don't like Gwenpool...
Yeah, I love this Mysterio figure as well...have a major soft spot for some of Spidey's goofy rogues' gallery, and Mysterio is among the upper echelon of them. It's really just a fantastically well-done figure with a perfect color scheme and sculpt, which I'm surprised that Hasbro put so much effort/tooling/money into. I mean, who else could they use that body for?
And that head sculpt...brilliant. I know some people are weirded out by it, but I think that Lovecraftian nightmare under Mysterio's globe is just amazing. After all, he's a special effects guy and a master of illusion, so why wouldn't he use smoke and mirrors to make it look like something truly horrifying was under there instead of just his regular, everyday mug?
Also, I've seen variants where his head sculpt is green instead of white, and I honestly prefer the white head. With the green one it's just too much green on the figure overall, and under the globe the white head gives the appearance of the globe being filled with mist, with something weird/unsettling inside that's just BARELY visible...so creepy.
Bonus points for the green smoke attachments that clip onto Mysterio's legs (that, like the head, have tentacles growing out of them). Mysterio and Gwenpool are the best figures in this wave, IMO.
