I found both of the 4" Spidey packs at Target today thanks to the help of Brickseek and fellow Arkers. I did have to do some comparing for both sets to get ones that I was happy with. The Shocker set was really just comparing minor paint details but with the Vulture set some of the Spider-Man's knees looked like he was late on a payment and Vulture let him know. They had a full case out I guess, 4 of the Vulture set and 2 of the Shocker.
I'll start with the movie set. Yay more MCU figures in this scale! The Spidey has pretty good articulation but his elbow hinges are kinda small which worried me a bit at first and then his knee connector pieces are gummy-feeling. These don't feel like major issues though, nothing ruining here. The paint is pretty on par for this size, some bleeding of red onto black or blue onto red but nothing damning. Vulture is the big draw of this set and while not accurate it's still a cool toy. His wings actually are pretty much the exact same size as Falcon's which is weird because they looked smaller in pics and even in the box. Also like Falcon's wings they have the feature where you can hinge one wing up and down and the other matches it.

So they aren't terribly small for the toy but compared to how big they are in the movie they're definitely not in scale. His head of course then isn't like the one in the movie at all but after messing around with him for a while it's still a neat head, but an accurate head would've been cooler. Pretty similar articulation to Spidey but no torso joint and overall not as much range. His paint is a lot cleaner though. Cool set.
Now on to the comic set. Shocker is just on the same under-articulated body as Living Laser (and others) so he can't strike too many cool shocking poses but he can do some stuff. The colors are all good but the application is a little lazy looking. The grid pattern is off on some parts or just incomplete at other sections. Honestly though given the size it's a good job. Best for last though, this is the comic Spidey we've been waiting for. His colors are the right red and blue, his paint apps are for the most part clean, and he's on the body that made this line's articulation awesome. Overall this Spidey is awesome and sells this set on his own with the Shocker just feeling like a welcome bonus since he hasn't been in this line before. Again, cool set.
