Ok, I just want to start off by saying that this review will cover two figures in one. Mainly because accessories aside they are the EXACT same figure. The difference is that the Disney Store version, instead of coming with two gloved web-shooting hands, comes with two ungloved web-shooting hands, as well as an unmasked head. Each one has something the other doesn't and as for which I recommend more. Well. That's at the end
Spider-Man:
While visiting a science lab where his father once worked, Peter Parker discovered an experiment involving insects and radiation. An irradiated spider bit him when he got too close and over night Parker had discovered that he had undergone a metamorphosis, gaining strength, speed, and agility. At first seeking to use his powers for personal gain, Peter would eventually realize that with great power comes great responsibility, donning a mask to protect his loved ones and help others as the Amazing Spider-Man!

Sculpt and Paint:
The sculpt of this figure is top notch. The webbing, the musculature, the lines, everything is perfect. The webbing transitions perfectly from each part of the figure. The spider on the back of the suit is just so cool looking. The Peter Parker face isn't an EXACT likeness to Andrew Garfield, but I'd say it's pretty damn close! I can honestly say that this is the best figure of web-head I've had in a while. Both figures have the exact same sculpt and I found no differences between the two. Likewise for the paint. The only thing is, this goes for any edition, watch two major areas, the eyes on the mask, and the webbing all over. The webbing is easy to touch up however, just apply black sharpie. Anyway, the sculpt is great, the paint is great. I cannot stress how AMAZING (heh get it?) this figure is!
Articulation and Accessories:
Spidey's first accessory is his wall-mountable base. The two peg holes for his feet are along the pipe for some cool wall-crawling poses. Other than that, the picture with the un gloved hands and unmasked face includes the accessories that come with the Disney Store edition. The second is what comes with the regular edition. The only thing missing from the Disney edition is the gloved web shooting hand. If it would have, it would have been the best choice!
In terms of articulation, Web-head here has a ball jointed head, swivel-hinge shoulders, swivel biceps, hinge elbows, swivel forearms, hinge wrists, ball-jointed torso, swivel-hinge hips, swivel thighs, double-hinge knees, calf swivel, and finally hinge-pivot ankle! That's exactly what any Spidey figure should have!!!
OVERALL:
As mentioned above the main difference is the accessories. As for which to get, I have to give it to the standard edition. The Disney store edition has some great accessories, but what is spidey without his web shooting hands in full costume?
Disney Store Exclusive: 9.5 out of 10!!
Regular Edition: 10 out of 10!!!
