IN PACKAGE. Why did I mention that? It's because I have no intention of buying the new Spiderman figures! With that said, I figured it would be good to let everyone know how the figures are like. Or look like. Whatever.
Anyways I saw these things at Walmart. My 1st thought, was that the sculpts are actually decent. VENOM in particular looks excellent. That Mcfarlene-esque head sculpt kicks ass. It's about time the Mcfarlane-esque design got some love. Also saw Green Goblin.
Green Goblin looks WAY better than that new t-crotched(YES T CROTCH! AHHH FOR THE LOSE!) Green Goblin from the 6" line. Ya know, the line with the Spiderman and Black Spiderman repaint that doesn't really sell and lacks articulation? YEAH THOSE GUYS! The paint job on the new 3-3/4" Green Goblin may actually be better than the Marvel Universe version, maybe even the sculpt. The glider wasn't that bad either, more detailed than I thought. No ball ankles though.
The Spiderman figures themselves looked cheap but not Wolverine Origins cheap. Weird mix or lack of articulation on most of them. All of these figures came with accessories, like a missle launcher none of us will care for, and some trading cards or something.
Yes it's been reiterated that these are made for kids, ad naseum. Yet these kids are probably going to want uniformity with the Marvel Universe line, a bigger, 3-3/4" line with characters from the same universe as Spiderman. Yet due to the lack of full articulation on some of the Spiderman figures and Spidey rogues, this isn't really ideal.
IMHO it would have been better if the figures at least had full articulation, at least that way they would share that aspect with Marvel Universe, and also appeal to collectors, which equates to more sales for Hasbro. It's weird seeing a lack of articulation on a SPIDERMAN figure of all figures.
So with that said, not as bad as I was expecting but still disappointing nonetheless. +1 for looking better than Wolverine Origins.
