Sure, Toybiz had unique sculpts, but I don't like how their thighs were pretty much balls (like it is on the BAF Sandman) and they didn't use ratchet joints.

I guess I should start out by saying I'm not the biggest Spidey fan so that's also part of the reason why I'm not compelled to go out and buy new versions.

I hate the ball jointed hips as well. They are the reason why I broke my BAF Apocalypse's leg off. But I don't pose my figs that much so as long as I can get them standing fairly straight it's fine.

Not all the Toy Biz versions can be defended. I agree with you that the Silver Surfer figure is awful. I got one fairly recently in a lot and was surprised by how crappy his head sculpt is. For Green and Hobgoblin, I'm good with my 4 Horsemen sculpted figs. Sandman is good enough for me too. (Mostly because I don't want to pay BAF price for the Hasbro and I have the Raft version.)

I will absolutely get the new Shocker. I don't own the old one but even if I did I would update as it looks much better.
