We are so overdue for Spiderman to be revamped, and if any of us are forced to buy another crappy Spiderman, it'll be time for the Proletariat to rise up!!!!

On that note, what would the ideal spiderman have? I think...IMBE ankles, thigh swivels annndd a double jointed neck to look up while wall crawling

Overdue is an understatement. I agree with all of you on this one. I think it's about time that Hasbro shows us what they're made of. We have seen a lot of great original sculpts, such as, WW Hulk, BE Iron Man, Extremes, the movie Spiderman, and like one of you pointed out, the Captain America line. All of these figures testify to the fact that even in this scale, one should have expectation of quality in sculpt, paint, detail, and articulation.

How Hasbro could bring this Spiderman to life. Taking the movie figure sculpt, loosing the raised webbing, and giving the waste swivel and legs a lot more range of movement. If you don't own the Hasbro movie version of Spiderman, you may not know that his hands are not only able to turn 360 degrees, but also has a wrist hinge joint so wrist movement is all over the place. another change should be to switch out the feet to a style like the Bleeding Edge or WWII Captain America that have a swivel joint that lets the foot pivot left and right. At this point you have a lot of articulation but I wouldn't stop there. I would also give this Spiderman a second waste joint like you see in ML and SHS. Also accessories can be very important depending on the character. It should always reflect the powers or abilities of the character but also interact with the figure. In the movie Spidermans case, his web line is perfect. it hooks onto his fingers and mimics his web shooting ability more than any other spiderman figure ever.

Include all the features I've listed above and you have the perfect base. Go crazy and repaint it all you like. I would by any version so long as it had these features going on.
