I received my Far From Home wave earlier this past week, and after a couple of days with them, here's some thoughts. I'll start off with the MCU figs first...



Spider-Man: Not a whole lot really to say about this one that we couldn't tell from pictures, as this figure is basically a straight repaint of the original Homecoming Spidey, but that gives this one a nice leg up since that figure was pretty good. The only complaints are the sheen of the plastics being uneven (the head is a flat matte while the body has a glossy finish, something that is rampant in this wave.) and the lack of web-lines on the figure, but the latter is not a deal breaker. The addition of gripping hands are nice, although he comes with no accessories to use them with. Still, I love the Homecoming figure, and I honestly ended up liking this one more than that one, since it calls back to his classic first appearance. This might end up becoming my go to MCU Spidey.



Stealth Suit Spidey: Addressing the elephant in the room with this figure, yes, you can turn this into a Noir version of Spidey easy with a jacket from the Netflix Punisher...although I'm sure the one that came with Jubilee or the recent School Jacket would probably work better...although you would have to do some painting with both.

Just like the previous Spidey, there's not really a whole lot to this figure we haven't seen from the photos. This one does a much better job with the varying plastics and finishes, with some some areas being a flat matte while others are accented with sheen. It really makes a pretty boring costume design pop under the lights. The additional head and hands are nice additions, although they chose not to use the digital print on the head featuring the flipped up visor. When picking one up, pay attention to the eyes, mine were rather sloppy, and required me to clean them up a bit. Not an essential figure to own, but a nice solid figure if you are looking to own it.

I should also mention the Tom Holland head fits on both figures, although on the Stealth Spidey, it does sit a bit high on the neck.



Mysterio: A really good figure with an excellent sculpt and a few minor flaws. The paints on mine were crisp and clean, and the fishbowl is awesome, with a beautiful pearlescent purple adorned with glittery detailing, and a really awesome cape with some great details on it. There's no alternate head to swap out, but if you really want to, the skull head from the previous Mysterio will work on this one as well as the bearded Peter Parker everyone is seemingly using. He does have alternate fisted hands, but otherwise no additional accessories, which is a bummer considering the basic version of the figure comes with a neat looking spell effect that would go great with this guy. He also has a weird thing going on with the lapel on his cape at his right shoulder, which has a completely different shape (and looks almost unfinished or broken) he has no waist swivel to speak of, so don't try to turn him there. Those gripes aside though, I'm a huge fan of MCU villains since they were so scarce for years, and this one is no different. He's a must own.
