Finally found Peter B. Parker today to finish off my Stilt-Man wave...though I technically am still unfinished since I have two more Hand Ninjas on preorder waiting to be filled.

When I got this guy, I immediately tried hunting down one of the basic Spider-Verse Spider-Man figures since the headsculpt does mostly work on this figure and PBP fails to come with a properly masked head...but for some reason, those 5 POA figures have soared in price on the secondary market.



Thankfully, with a little bit of sticky tack, the head from that horrible six armed Spider-Man is a near perfect color match that works even better thanks to the unpainted but sculpted weblines on the mask.

On another note...I also had several problems with the joints on my figure, which terrified me since it's one of these new pinless bodies that Hasbro decided to "bless" us with. Thankfully I was able to eventually work everything unstuck, but I couldn't help but feel like I was seconds from snapping the figure in half thanks to QC issues that I normally could troubleshoot with an Allen wrench and some hot water. Pay especially close attention to the neck and knee joints with this guy. Otherwise, he's a bad ass figure...and officially my favorite of the wave.

Also...whoever mentioned dremeling out the heads of the Hand ninja so they sit lower...with as much tinkering as I do...I can't believe I never considered it. They look so much better with the head dropped a notch. Thanks!
