Character Bio:
In Forest Hills, Queens, New York City, high school student Peter Parker is a science- whiz orphan living with his Uncle Ben and Aunt May. Peter is bitten by a radioactive spider at a science exhibit and "acquires the agility and proportionate strength of an arachnid." Along with super strength, he gains the ability to adhere to walls and ceilings. Through his native knack for science, he develops a gadget that lets him fire adhesive webbing of his own design through small, wrist-mounted barrels. Initially seeking to capitalize on his new abilities, he dons a costume and, as "Spider-Man", becomes a novelty television star (sometimes wrestler). However, "He blithely ignores the chance to stop a fleeing thief, his indifference ironically catches up with him when the same criminal later robs and kills his Uncle Ben."Spider-Man tracks and subdues the killer and learns, "With great power there must also come—great responsibility!" Now with a new outlook, he protects the citizens of New York from all types of danger as the spectacular, the sensational, THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN!!
Sculpt:
Eh, this is a hard one because the sculpt is the same as the one on both Daken and The Constrictor. I mean don't get me wrong, it's a great sculpt and suits the character very well, but nothing much to talk about. The detail in the sculpt is very nice, muscular, good proportions. The headsculpt is perfect, nailing the eyes on Spidey, something that usually ranges from figure to figure. The other unique attributes are his fist (as far as I can tell) and his web shooting hand, which looks fantastic.
Paint:Now I won't lie. When I found out about this figure I was worried. This costume relies heavily on white paint and Hasbro is better known for.....well.......paint problems. But I hace to say. I am very impressed. This is the first time (and hopefully not the last) that I didn't have to go through four or five figures to find one with good paint. They were all perfect. There is no bleeding, no scratches, no chipping, nothing!! Well done Hasbro. Well done.
Accessories:Bupkis
Articulation:Web-head here has:
Ball-hinge head
Ball-hinge head
Swivel-hinge shoulders
Hinge shoulder blades

That means....yes.....he can do a split
Overall:
This is a great Spider-Man! Right now he is really hard to find so I was happy when i got him at ToysRUs. If you can find him, don't hesitate to get him. You won't regret it. I want to give this figure a 10, but considering the price and that he has no accessories at all (could have come with a web, web-line, alternate head, alternate hands) I have to drop him a point
9 OUT OF 10!!!
