I know everyone is pretty caught up in ToyFair-Fever right now (as am I!) but I thought I'd take a second and do a real quick mini-review about the new,
"Ultra Stike Spiderman" from the Ultimate Spider-man line (i.e. the actually articulated one)...
I picked him up from Wal-mart the other day for $12 for my son who is 5 and is a big fan of the show...

Pros:
- Great Paint
- Good Proportions
- Decent price point
- Rocker Ankles!

Cons:
- NO..F&@$ING...TORSO ARTICULATION (seriously hasbro, what is your new vendetta against figure articulation here?)
- Hips are a bit restricted

Verdict:
Meh. Sad to say this figure really doesn't do much for me.
If he had even a simple waist swivel, ab-crunch but no twist, or had been sculpted "slightly hunched" it would have been better than Mr. Perfect posture here. When Spider-man has a good amount of articulation and still cannot get into any even remotely Spider-esque poses...something's amiss... :/

Here's some shots of him in action for anyone who is interested....
