Hell i think i'd definitely take one of those skrulls too,he looks pretty sweet!

Got this guy today in the post:

And i have NEVER known a figure to be so contradictory!! I love the sculpt and style of the figure,the bare arms and wrapped bandages just bring something new to Spidey,and his hands have a strange,almost clawlike quality,yet still look human,in terms of articulation hes not bad down to the waist,BUT he should have had wrist art. as well as elbow because his arm looks weird when you put it in webslinging position. The less said about the T-crotch the better,BUT i will say it gives him a more smooth streamlined appearance. His knees are interesting as they have used the SW style ball joint knee,which again looks more asthetically pleasing(and who knows if coupled with proper hips might be better than the usual MU knee). Now onto the really bad....from the knees down,this guy is a disaster,the "manga sneakers" are TERRIBLE!! Far too big,poorly sculpted,and like giant white and red eye magnets you cant help but look at,they ARE Spidey clown shoes,and really REALLY drag the whole figure down,which is a massive injustice,i just cant understand why someone would sculpt them so out of preportion,and out of keeping with Spidey's style,they aren't even in keeping with their size in the comic!!

So in summary, if this guy had been released as part of the MU line,with T-bar hips,wrist articulation,AND NO CLOWN SHOES i really think people would love him!!
Looks/sculpt/style: im gonna say 10!!! (And ignore the shoes!!!)
Articulation: 5 im afraid (A great figure spoilt by the articulation scandal)
