I will definitely do that! that's exactly what i was curious about...the paint job just looks questionable. unless it's a QC problem, but i feel like the other images i've seen have way better paint jobs.

I love how lanky the figure is, but he doesn't pose as well as you'd think, is a bit on the tall side, has some scary long hands and feet, and feels fragile and cheaply made. I always thought the Spidey from Spider-man classics (the very first one) was the true McFarlane Spidey. That figure, despite being less articulated than some of the Spidey's that followed, is still amazing!

On the subject though and personal feelings on this figure aside, I've never personally dealt with this seller, but like all toys that come from China, buyer beware. Especially when you're paying THAT much for what could very well be a knock off. I can imagine that if it is a KO figure, it wouldn't take long before the fingers or the arms end up breaking off, especially since it's based off that same mold of the for-mentioned Spidey, and probably uses much more inferior plastics than the original versions did.

I just like the overall look of the figure, and i definitely think he's a win in terms of articulation. the latest figure we got has those weird butterfly joints, otherwise i'd be completely happy with him. No offense, but if you don't like the Spidey from the fearsome foes pack would you sell him to me?
