Either way, I'm completely on board with this. It's fantastic, particularly the maskless head sculpt.
That's not what I'm referring to as I'm not concerned with the nuance from one MAFEX representation to the next. I don't collect the line and I'm not referencing the specific height of the fig vs the character's listed height; these relationships are fudged at best since the number of inches in a foot don't line up with the number of centimeters in an inch making direct-line comparisons trickier math than I'm willing to do.

What I'm comparing is this fig's aesthetic presentation and proportionality (torso, arms, and legs) to that of the Marvel Legends fig coming out. I only mentioned Spidey's height and weight to acknowledge that the MAFEX fig is consistent with what you would expect such a physique to look like and in keeping with what was represented in the books at the time. Conversely, imo, the Marvel Legends fig is too thick of limb and corded. I would imagine a musculature like that on a man who weighed somewhere between 185/190lbs up to even 200/205lbs.

Basically, this feels more appropriate for lithe, but athletic symbiote-suit Parker.
