Armored Spider-Man

Pros
Really good sculpt

Cons
Below expected articulation for a Spider-Man figure

Overall
I’m really impressed by this awesome sculpt and design of this Spider-Man figure. If it had the Ab-Crunch and the ability to turn his body it would be in my Top 5 Spider-Man figures for this size class of all time. It’s really a great action figure, I just feel a little salty, over this version not getting all the love it needed, to put it over the top.

    At first I was shocked that a Marvel Legends armored Spider-Man had come out of nowhere. Then I realized it was a 4" figure. Most companies fight brand confusion, Hasbro revels in it.

    boooooooo 4 inch.... i was hoping it was the 6 inch line. yet again disappointed, first a house of M spidey, then spider-an Noir, now this ??? damn the 4 inch line.

    Hope I can find one. The Armored Spidey was always one of my favorite Spider-Mans when I was little.

    Remember the amazing spidey issue with the spider armor foil pressed cover? Or maybe it was a hologram? I just remember seeing it for like 200$ in a comic shop in the 90's, then last year in a flea market for less than cover price... Not the best investment those foil covers.

    This line is dying so show it some respect! If it weren't for the success and awesomeness of Hasbro's 4" MU line then the 6" Legends line may very well have never come back, but now they treat us MU collectors to under-articulated yet more expensive offerings. For shame Hasbro, for shame.

    Never!

    The article should be updated to reflect that this is from the 4-inch line. I had to figure it out for myself (which, admittedly, wasn't hard, but Hasbro is already confusing people enough as it is).

    I thought this was the 6 inch line, marvel legends 3/4 figures are lame

  11. DinahBoredom's Avatar DinahBoredom says

    I think we should all agree to call these "Marvel Universe" figures regardless of what Hasbro stamps on the package.

    Marvel Universe figures are 3 3/4 inches. Marvel Legends are 6 inches. This should be the immutable law of Marvel action figures.

    Hell, I would take one decent Marvel Universe wave per year then to have these cheap knockoffs.

    Is it though? They're still coming out with new sought after figures. The new Rogue looks great.

    I whole heartily agree with everything written here.
    HASBRO, stop trying to confuse grandmothers shopping online!!!

    Just put the SIZE first and foremost when you post about Marvel Legends. Please and Thank You. It would keep these 2 lines from being confused.

    Is it just me or does Rage's bio sound an awful lot like the Toxic Avenger? Gets doused in a hazardous chemical and with in no time, becomes a full grown man with superhuman strength.

    Tell that to the Hasbro team next time you bump into them.

    Doesn't really matter what they're called these days I still call the MU.

    I never knew Rage's backstory (I have a heroclix figure of him, my first intro to the character). While his backstory is hilariously dumb, it has all the great traits of a goofy golden age origin. For that reason, I love it. I think I need to read about this guy, now.

    Honestly I think the hair on the upcoming Rogue is atrocious, it hardly resembles what it's supposed to because they made the white part stick up like a mohawk while the rest looks shaved down. I say the line is dying because this is now literally the only 3.75" line even though we used to get movie lines to compliment it, the articulation and overall quality dropped, the price went up, and we've gotten way less waves per year since the rebranding. Meanwhile the 6" line has seen improvements in quality as well as an increase in figure output.

    I really like how well Living Laser came out especially since more villains are almost always appreciated but his bio on the back might as well be like one of those knock-off toys, "super-villain bad man control energy."

    House of M Spidey was a touched-up repack from eons ago.

    I don't know what you're so upset about though. We get shafted hard in almost every way possible, all the time. Let us have something good from time to time. Six inch has the best selection and the best bang for your buck and they eventually get better versions of every figure we get. I mean when I do see 4" they're $12-15 and 6" is $16.

    I don't understand why this needs to be said in pretty much every news topic on 4 inch figures. I don't want 6 inch to stop existing or stop having cool stuff, I only want us to have the cool stuff as well. It seems 6 inch only fans could tell us to lie in the sand for all they care though. Makes me sad. We're all here because we love toys and we shouldn't crap on things others like.
