An integral part of the “Spider-Man: No Way Home” merchandise is the inclusion of not one, not two, but all three Spider-Men action figures, each complete with their respective unmasked face sculpts. This marks a first in the franchise with such precise renditions of Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield, right down to Garfield’s perfectly sculpted hair. Despite the attention to detail, lovers of the franchise may argue the figures could be enhanced with a second head featuring a different facial expression.
Designed with incredible joint articulation, these action figures can be posed in a myriad of dynamic stances, made easier with a stand. They also come with several interchangeable hands. Tom Holland’s figure leads with six hands, while the others feature webslinging hands along with a fist and open hand. A disappointment for meme enthusiasts is the missed opportunity for Hasbro to include a ‘pointing’ hand to mimic the famous animated Spider-Man scene – a gesture I managed to approximate with the available hand options.
Another letdown some collectors may feel is the absence of web accessories with the Spider-Man figures, which has been an ongoing issue with movie-based figures. While accurately replicating the web effect from the films is challenging, fans would likely appreciate even a non-screen-accurate inclusion for enhanced posing possibilities with the figures. It’s hoped this is something Hasbro will address in the future.
In conclusion, this collection stands out as one of the top Marvel Legends sets based on Marvel Cinematic Universe films, crafted by Hasbro. Fans would be delighted if such detailed attention became standard for all movie figure lines. The figures are now available for purchase through Amazon and various retailers, with some potentially offered at reduced prices.
