I thought the head was "too round" when I first saw promo images. Wasn't until I saw it from the side that I realized it was a visual effect of the over-sized eyes. So I wonder if the "head is too big" impression is maybe a product of the same. On the other hand, I love the pearlescent paint in the eyes on this fig, and the paint apps seem to be much cleaner than a lot of the Spider-Man figs they put out last year.
A "spectacular" review, Manny. I agree that the Hasbro design team should've put in the extra effort. But I'm glad to have another Spider-man retro wave. I have it on my Amazon want list. I'm just going buy them gradually.
The eyes have this Ultimate Spidey/Mark Bagley quality to them. A head swap with the Ben Reilly Spider-Man that came out (last year?) is what I'm thinking is the best course of action.
Thanks! I just put the head and hands from the absorbing man baf series one onto the retro sensational spider-man. Then added those ACBA tendrils pack they made awhile back around it.
i really like this figure i put his head on the spectacular spider-man and put the ben head on this body. i think the big eyes on the spectacular suit are really cool! i kind of wish i had two of the big eye heads
I love Spider-Man because he is a cool character but to me, I already have the Sensational Ben Reilly Spider-Man figure and the only figures that I would get which are Spider Woman maybe the Rose🌹too, Overall, Great review Manny
I was hanging out at the Spider-Society and I see all these cool spider people and Ben Reilly was there. I was like, is that Ben Reilly? He has a big fuggin head.
Hey Xmanny - go off topic here: I know you must be on top of the world with the PS5 Spidey news today. I just saw that Marvel Select announced at SDCC Crimson Dynamo and Annihlus. I guess we both ought to buy lottery tickets today because of our good luck.
I can agree with those select figures but did you SEE the mafex release manny?! Daredevil is sick but as a MASSIVE AOA fan like me you have to of lost your shit at them righting Hasbros terrible mistake and putting out a perfect cyclops aoa
@@JayWoods483 it’s like a double edged sword because after this month there’s been SO many hits to my wallet I was just planning on slowing down and now this it’s like oh brother I need to start selling figures and this is probs going to be the absolute worst time to do so because everyone else probs has the same idea
@@aliteralchad7128 it ain't easy being collectors. I had to restrain m'self so many times, and it is only getting worse! I am curious if there is a 12-step program for us collectors?
@@Xmanny87 sorry, what I meant was could this head with it's comically large eyes fit on the Ultimate Spider-Man body? In the cartoon his eyes changed shape dramatically and in some moments of surprise got pretty close to Ben's super bulbous eyes. Could be a neat expression for that figure.
The jaw needs to be squished in a bit more on the head. Otherwise it’s just meh. Not a great run in the comics and an ok looking figure. I’m probably just going to wait u til he’s on clearance.
Man I just realized superior is in desperate need of an upgrade no way it’s been nearly 10 years
Yeah. Next year will mark 10 years so perfect time for an update.
Superior Spider-Man is getting a new comic, so this might just be the perfect time for an update
I love the head personally the massive eyes perfectly match the debut art of the suit.

Thanks! Nothing wrong with that and I’m sure you’ll see price drops along the way.

Great review manny! Like you mentioned it’s so wack of hasbro to penny pinch that crazy bc there’s no BAF piece included either, greedy bastards lmao
100% bro. The accessory selection across the wave is horrid. But thanks man! Glad you liked the review.
Yoo manny that spider carnage custom looks awesome
Thanks! I just put the head and hands from the absorbing man baf series one onto the retro sensational spider-man. Then added those ACBA tendrils pack they made awhile back around it.
We really need an update on the Classic Scarlet Spider
Lucky 4 u, now we do 😁
@@raigefernau1529 woooooo! 😁
i really like this figure i put his head on the spectacular spider-man and put the ben head on this body. i think the big eyes on the spectacular suit are really cool! i kind of wish i had two of the big eye heads
He looks like he was stretching his aracnic senses to much 😂 btw nice review keep enjoying like that plz 👍
Hey Xmanny! A little related/unrelated question, howd you do the tendrils for the spider carnage ben reilly? It looks so sick!
Hey there! These were actually custom made from the ACBA website many years ago. I just added it onto him so I didn’t customize these.
@@Xmanny87 ty bro, might get it!
🔥🔥🔥review on chasm definitely
I kinda like the cartoony look for the headsculpt on this guy
I love Spider-Man because he is a cool character but to me, I already have the Sensational Ben Reilly Spider-Man figure and the only figures that I would get which are Spider Woman maybe the Rose🌹too, Overall, Great review Manny
Cool! And thank you 🙏🏼
whered you get the spider carnage tendrils
The ryv figures butterfly does go all the way back but it takes a while to break it in
I was hanging out at the Spider-Society and I see all these cool spider people and Ben Reilly was there. I was like, is that Ben Reilly? He has a big fuggin head.
Like. It. Got. Him for Christmas
Superior Spider-Man custom is going to go crazy with this body
Lol
I think the Raft Spider-man head may work on him. This wave is pretty lackluster. I think I will only be picking up Daredevil, Tarantula and the Rose.
His head is FINE
Agree to you manny
😎👊🏽
reminds me of superior spider man from the green goblin build a figure wave

Haha yea I am over the moon right now. And those Select figures blew me away. Lol

@@aliteralchad7128 I agree 100% about ML's AoA Cyke. DD looks like the pinnacle variant.

Perfect body for superior spider and they can use the comic iron spider legs
the best eyes for spider man are how he looked in the seventies actually. And eighties. he looked. more normal
Nobody like bad head. That is really bad head.😄
LOL!
Did you see the spider man ps5 trailer. 🔥🔥🔥 I’m so hyped.
Oh you know I did. I posted it on my IG. Bro my goosebumps won’t go down! Lol
@@Xmanny87 fr bro. This is the best Spider-Man we’ve seen yet. So good
@@BryceYT.the realest facts my man!
It looks like stewie took on steroids and decided to cosplay as Ben Reilly spider-man
😂😂😂
for some reason i feel like hasbro made the head look too much like spectacular spiderman
Yeah fam I wasn't feeling that head, I passed on him, and to be honest im kinda not feeling the Miles fig
That head looks like an orange on a toothpick 😅
How about a head swap with Ultimate Spider-Man?
That doesn’t work at all. Ultimate Spider-Man is on the much smaller teen body thus making the head impossible to fit on this much bigger adult body.
@@Xmanny87 sorry, what I meant was could this head with it's comically large eyes fit on the Ultimate Spider-Man body? In the cartoon his eyes changed shape dramatically and in some moments of surprise got pretty close to Ben's super bulbous eyes. Could be a neat expression for that figure.
He got a big water head🤣😂🤣😂
4:27 Daaaamn that extra bit of detail for this figure would've been great!!
5:58 Also definitely that head is utterly BULBOUS.
Right? Looks like his head wants to explode. Lol
@@Xmanny87 Haha exactly!
I don't mind the bigger head it gives it a cartoonish look which i like but i understand why people don't like it as much
If it was from a cartoon fine but it’s not and that’s what kills it for me.

Xmanny87 Do Want The Amazing Spider-Man Beyond Comic Wave
Not really needed right now. I just want more comic BAF waves and a Gamerverse wave for Spider-Man. Those are my biggest wants.
bruh andrew garfield ultimate spiderman there have been hundreds of round spiderman heads
Not this big though. Lol.
Manny as a massive AOA fan like you I know you had to lose your shit on MAFEX new releases
😂 I lost my wallet at first glance 😂
