Good vid. Subscribed. Q: For those only wanting, say, 2 Spideys, 2 Bats, 2 Cap Americas, are there vids & references to "the best Spider-Man figure" or same re: Batmans? Note, though a many decades comic collector, I've only been viewing Hot Toys vids since Jan. I've purchased three great (to me) HT figures to date; a nice 2012 Cap America (most recent ver) via a successful Ebay path. A great 1/4 deluxe Batman trilogy package, and the 1/6 spidey deluxe w/ doc oct diorama which I also love too! Not a completist, so my Q is, what is the best spidey figure to date? Good stuff.
Thank you for the sub and the kind words Daniel, very much appreciated. To me it is somewhat subjective as some of us are partial to the spider-man actor that is the most near and dear to our hearts. In terms of execution, I feel the advanced suit 2.0 is the best spidey in recent years, its very nicely done! Congrats on the the start of your collection, all awesome figures! Thanks for watching. May consider your ideas for a video in the future 🤝
So I ordered the deluxe, not the special edition from what I’m picking up the standard and the special edition were smaller batches, so they did not change those before. Those were shipped out. The deluxe version has not shipped yet, so they were able to change those out on all of them I believe still waiting on mine.
So what I showed here in this video is considered the (deluxe version)(special edition) which is how it's listed on Sideshow's site. Its the deluxe but with 1 bonus accessory being the Doc Ock arm. This was only available for order for 10 days I believe before being cut off for order. Sideshow claimed in their emails to me that Hot Toys stated to them that no 1st batch masks were sent to Sideshow 🤔 But obviously as collectors we are finding out otherwise! Best of luck getting a better mask than mine! Thanks for watching 🤝
Sorry that happened to you bro, hopefully it all works out for you. Hate when this happens to collectors as we spend so much for the product. Especially when they go that far off the prototype
Toby deserves better. Still worth getting IMO because I would display it with the head sculpt but I’m hoping for a Raimi Spider-Man 2 Tobey at some point!
Agreed! A lot better, what a shame. But hey im happy to have it in my collection at the end of the day, just not all I was hoping for. That would be 🔥🔥🔥. Thanks for watching Justin!
Of course, man! And yeah that's the attitude I would have with it too, is it's still nice to have in the collection! You displaying it with the head sculpt or the mask?@@HotToysHotline
I had my problems with sideshow as well there difficult to deal with anyway..I had the same issue with my Spider-Man nose too I just pulled the fabric on the back of the neck to reposition the dot and moved it above the eyes and fixed it .
I think I got the 2nd batch single version but it just as bad. On mine, the eyes are centered to the middle of the webbing but the webbing is shifted towards one eye more than the other. The seam on the top of the head looks like it has a hole in mine. Hot Toys really dropped the ball on the mask sculpt.
Good review. That Toby face sculpt and base looks great but those hands look bad with the color variation from the body and of course you’ve got the masked spidey batch 1 issue which now that I see it I can’t unsee it. Too bad this should have been a home run. Toby fans deserve batter.
Thanks Adam! I totally agree, there are some great aspects to this figure but it falls short in other areas. Tobey is my Spider-Man and always will be so this is a bit of a let down! Thanks for watching!
No you're not complaining too much. You spent upwards of $500 for the deluxe. We have every right to complain, this isn't a cheap hobby. Obviously sometimes things don't look the same as advertised, but to drop the ball on accuracy like this is super annoying. I don't put this on Sideshow, they're only distribute/sell Hot Toys. This is entirely on Hot Toys themselves. They need to wake up and do better.
I appreciate that and you are absolutely right! This set is very expensive, also the miscommunication is very confusing. Yeah I think Sideshow is mostly innocent on this one, Hot Toys claiming they sent only 2nd batch masks is odd when we can clearly see many people are getting first batch masks lol. Thanks for watching 🤝
And I’d disagree. It’s unacceptable. You are Sideshow’s customer, not Hot Toys’s. I paid money to Sideshow and allowed them to make a profit off me counting on their exceptional customer service, but all we got was a dismissal of the issue. It’s their responsibility to offer solutions rather than dismissing the entire situation all together. Offer returns or gift cards as a compensation for example. Hot Toys are a major culprit of course, but let’s not pretend SS are clean handed either. If I come to a grocery store and buy some milk that turned out to be spoiled, it’s the store’s responsibility and not the farmer’s. They have to catch the faulty product before it reaches the shelves. SS deserve all the dirt.
Spiderman figures are made most often by Hot toys, even more than iron man. There is no excuse for these poor design and mixes in results to face us as this figure costs more than any spidey in memory. This is bullshit hot toys, you need to offer replacement heads. There are those in the community who frown upon complaining. To those I say, be real.
Well said! For me, this was an error that could have been easily avoided. But also, had they been willing to replace it, I would perfectly okay with that. Such a shame that I feel a bit let down on such an important figure. Oh well! Thanks for watching 🤝

Interesting, I got an email from sideshow saying mine won’t come until May. Even though I pre-ordered it the second it became available.
Yeah sadly the first batch was delayed as well and still we got these first batch masks mixed in. I hope you have better luck! Thanks for watching!

Thanks man! Yeah dude, what a total bummer. You know how much I love Tobey, why did it have to be this one 😂

I really hate the seam on the mask, the eyes, and the neckline seam.
We are paying 400 dollars..
Im not normally one to complain but the mask really puzzled me lol, agreed! Thanks for watching Mark 🤝
I had my problems with sideshow as well there difficult to deal with anyway..I had the same issue with my Spider-Man nose too I just pulled the fabric on the back of the neck to reposition the dot and moved it above the eyes and fixed it .
Sorry to hear that you also had some issues! Glad to hear you were able to make it a little better, thanks for the tip 🤝
Overall its still great figure. Tobey the GOAT.
Still very much happy that I own it! FACTS! Thanks for watching my friend!
Uh, oh....
😔 I had hope haha. Thanks for watching my friend!
I think I got the 2nd batch single version but it just as bad. On mine, the eyes are centered to the middle of the webbing but the webbing is shifted towards one eye more than the other. The seam on the top of the head looks like it has a hole in mine. Hot Toys really dropped the ball on the mask sculpt.
So sorry to hear that yours had issues as well! Ive seen them with varying issues also, such a shame. Agreed, thanks for watching!
