No, I stopped reading Marvel just before the clone saga came out (which if I recall, was shortly after Age of Apocalypse) and I didn't pick Spider-Man up again until the first issue with JMS.

Anyway, they finally arrived:























So my thoughts on the figures:

Doc Ock - A pretty awesome figure, but now I can see why people wanted the tentacles to have bendy wires in them. They are great, but I don't like how two of them point outward from his body, so it looks weird no matter what position you put them in. They also don't seem to stay plugged in very well and one of them always slides downward. Other than that, he is great. The face is exceptional.

Dagger - I wish she had her own upper torso sculpt, as having her collar just painted on looks lame, but she is a solid figure overall. The face looks great and I'm glad they did the version with the long heair as opposed to the short hair version.

Cloak - The cloak is absolutely amazing. It's not as pliable as I would have licked, but I can see why they wouldn't want to that. My only issue is my fear came to fruition as there is no way to actually attach to the cloak. As such, it just sits on the cloak when you don't have the body in there, so one shake and his head falls off. It's a cool idea but poorly implemented. Face sculpt looks great though.

House of M Spidey - He doesn't even come with the webbing they show him have on the box. A complete lackluster figure that looks bad. At least he's painted well.

Scarlet Spider - The paint job is superb and I like the different hands and head despite not knowing the significance of them.

Elektra - A cool figure, but the leg was warped due to the way she was placed in the bubble, so I will need to fix it later. Everything is nice though the tape in the bubble caused her sais to bend in ways I don't think they were supposed to. FOrtunately, they didn't break, but still. Head sculpt is stunning.

DareDevil - He's cool, I guess. Not a fan of the way he looks and I don't like the plastic they used between his billy club. That most definitely should have been a bendy wire so you could actually do something with it. Instead, the stupid thing is in a fixed posiition and it can't even be placed in his holster, rendering the holster pointless. I do like that he comes with fisting hands though.

Sp//dr - One of the shittest BAFs I have ever gotten. Not only does the articulation suck ass, but he can't even stand up properly. He feels like he was originally a Mattel toy that snuck into Hasbro's production line. Hell, Mattel's BAF Metallo had better articulation than this dude.

Those of you that sent me PMs wanting figures, I will be responding to you over the weekend.
