Marvel Legends Gamerverse 6 Inch Action Figure – Spider-Man 2 Review
Product Overview
Introduction to Marvel Legends Gamerverse 6 Inch Action Figure – Spider-Man 2
As a collector of Marvel Legends figures and a huge Spider-Man fan, I was excited to add the Gamerverse 6 Inch Action Figure – Spider-Man 2 to my collection. This figure depicts Peter Parker in his mentor role as he guides Miles Morales in becoming the next Spider-Man while still dealing with his own struggles.
Product Description
The figure stands at 6 inches tall and features excellent articulation that allows for various poses and action scenes. The plastic used for the figure feels premium and steady, giving it a great weight to it. The buck design for this figure is taken from the “Renew Your Vows” set, which enhances the articulation capabilities.
However, I felt that there was a missed opportunity with the texture of this figure. The Gamerverse Miles Morales figure has a unique, textured buck that could have been applied here as well. Additionally, the figure comes with a limited set of accessories, mostly webbing, which leaves much to be desired. A complete set of thwipping and open hands could have made it a better package.
That said, the figure still tops my list for one of the best versions of the titular wall-crawler in recent memory, and for the standard price of a Marvel Legends down under, it’s a must-have. If you pair it with Miles Morales, it makes for an even better display.
Here’s what a fellow collector has to say about the figure: “It’s a great-looking figure with a lot of accessories, especially the webbing, which you could use for other Spider-Man figures you have. Though it could have benefited from extra hands, the figure’s pinless technology is up to par with other high-end figures.”
Design and Articulation
Missed Opportunity with Unique Textured Buck
One missed opportunity with the Marvel Legends Gamerverse 6 Inch Action Figure – Spider-Man 2 is its regular, non-textured buck. The Gamerverse Miles Morales figure has a unique, textured buck, which could have made the Spider-Man 2 figure stand out more. However, this does not diminish the overall quality of the figure.
Renew Your Vows Buck Provides Excellent Articulation
The Renew Your Vows buck used for the Spider-Man 2 figure provides excellent articulation, and is one of the best Marvel Legends bucks available today. This enables the figure to have dynamic poses that capture Spider-Man’s agility and flexibility. The figure feels sturdy and premium, thanks to the steady plastic used in its construction.
Pinless Technology
The figure also features the new pinless technology, which means that joints are now moulded as a single piece, reducing the need for visible pins. This results in a cleaner look and greater flexibility in the figure’s range of motion.
Lack of Complete Accessories
The Spider-Man 2 figure’s accessories are primarily web accessories, which may not be ideal for collectors who prefer to display their figures in action poses. One set of complete thwipping and open hands would have been a better inclusion.
Assortment of Web Accessories
Nevertheless, the assortment of web accessories is still a welcome addition to the figure, especially since they can be used with other Spider-Man figures. The web effects vary in size and shape, giving collectors plenty of options to choose from to create exciting displays.
Need for More Hand Options
Another downside is the limited hand options for the figure. Extra sets of hands, including fists, could have provided more display options for collectors.
Overall, despite these minor criticisms, the Marvel Legends Gamerverse 6 Inch Action Figure – Spider-Man 2 is still a must-have, especially paired with Gamerverse Miles Morales. For the standard price of a Marvel Legends figure, collectors get one of the best versions of Spider-Man in recent memory.
Price and Value
Standard Price for ML Figures
The Marvel Legends Gamerverse 6 Inch Action Figure – Spider-Man 2 is priced at the standard rate for ML figures. While the price may seem a little high for some, it is a fair price for an action figure of this quality.
Must-Have for Fans
If you are a fan of Spider-Man, then this action figure is a must-have for you. It is a great representation of the Web-Slinger, and it comes with a variety of accessories that will add to your display collection. The figure is also highly detailed, and the new pinless technology means that it has better articulation compared to older models.
Great to Pair with Miles Figure
The Marvel Legends Gamerverse 6 Inch Action Figure – Spider-Man 2 is an excellent figure to pair with the Miles Morales figure from the same collection. The two figures complement each other perfectly, and both come with a variety of accessories that make them great for display.
Overall, the Marvel Legends Gamerverse 6 Inch Action Figure – Spider-Man 2 is an impressive action figure that is perfect for fans of the Web-Slinger. It may be missing a few accessories, but it more than makes up for it with its level of detail and articulation. If you are a fan of Spider-Man, then this action figure is definitely worth adding to your collection.
Customer Reviews
Excellent and Eye-Catching Figure
I have to say, the Marvel Legends Gamerverse 6 Inch Action Figure – Spider-Man 2 is one of the best Spider-Man figures out there. The attention to detail on this figure is impressive. I was really blown away by the level of articulation and the texture on the suit – it really pops. The pinless technology on this figure is seamless and makes it stand out from other figures as well. The paint quality is excellent, giving it a premium and steady feeling plastic.
Comes with a Wealth of Web Accessories
Another thing I love about this figure is the number of accessories it comes with. From the extra web pieces to the spider-drone, this figure gives you a lot of options to create some great poses. Plus, these web pieces can be used on other Spider-Man figures as well, which is a nice bonus.
Could Use More Hand Options
One thing I noted is that the figure could definitely use more hand options. The assortment of web accessories that are included is great, but an extra set of hands would have been a nice addition. However, overall, this figure is worth every penny, especially when paired with the Gamerverse Miles Morales figure. If you are a Spider-Man fan, then this figure is a must-have.
