The plastic quality was all over the place, and were not all casted in the same color plastic. Some parts were dull and flat finished, while others were super smooth and shiny. He's distracting to look at, and not for the right reasons.

If anything on the positive, the DD from the Defenders wave does represent a good value, as you're getting three other characters along with it, with one of them being a superior redo of a character that was previously only an SDCC release (Luke Cage) who still commands a high secondary market price. The Hobgoblin wave version though has thankfully dropped a bit in price since the release of the Defenders version though, so it won't set you back either. I'd take that one any day.

Of course, your other option is to wait it out for the Shadowland DD come out later this year in a future Spider-Man wave.

That’s good info, thanks! While I like the Defenders version color scheme a little better, it’s not enough to make up for quality issues, so that helps my choice for sure. I do also plan on getting the new Shadowland version, I love the way it looks from the pictures.
