Originally created in the Ultimate Universe, this version of Spider-Man is a 13 year old kid named Miles Morales from Brooklyn who takes on the Spider-Man identity after Peter Parker’s death. Miles discovers spider powers of his own after he was bitten by a spider 11 months before Peter’s death, and uses these powers to be the best superhero he can be!

Marvel Legends Spider-Man Miles Morales
Pros
Nicely sculpted Miles Morales head
Good accessories lots of extra hands
Amazing Articulation
Cons
None
Overall
Miles Morales Spider Man is yet again another awesome version of Spider-Man. It has all the upsides of the Peter Parker but I think the Miles Morales head sculpt is better. I know a lot of people have been waiting for this version and it does not disappoint. I have a feeling this may be the hard to get figure of the wave so grab him while you can.
First up is Peter Parker Spider-Man

Which Spidey figure is better, this one or the one that came with the pizza slice? This one looks cool but I'm not seeing the extra shoulder articulation the previous one had.
Both have the same articulation despite the lack of butterfly joints, however, the legs are way superior on the Ultimate version. The blue is a little darker than I'd like though, but he is by far the best teenage Peter we have yet to ever get as far as I am concerned.
Frankly, I think they are both perfect because of that. One can be teenage Parker, the other is adult Parker. Plus, the Ultimate figure goes great in scale with Spider-Gwen, so you can re-enact all of your favorite neck breaking moments.
Finally the gallery! This is a superb Spider-Man figure, I love it! It's not a big deal the shoulder articulation, i saw many video review and the range of arms are the same of pizza Spidey
I have pizza Spidey, but will switch to this probably. I like the ultra-skinny, lanky look of this, compared to the toned-gymnast look of pizza spidey... I have legends carnage, pizza spidey, and Marvel Select Venom recreating the poster from the 90's which has both symbiotes leaping at a webslinging spidey. I think the smaller, thinner Spidey will make the pose look more dramatic and "dangerous"
And my fetish for super-articulated Spider-man figures continues.
Nice work on the pics Destro! He's definitely a fantastic figure.
Miles Morales Spider-Man is up for your viewing pleasure....

The only downside to the Miles figure is I don't know his poses or his personality.
Miles.... gimmie.
Nice.. Hasbro continues to knock out another set of superb Legends built around the Ol' Web-Head. Yeah I have that same compulsion to collect super-articulated Spideys! The recent SpiderVerse cross-over has really provided a lot (a lot a lot!!) of new source material (fan-favourites Silk and Spider-Gwen) and re-invigorated some old source material (Spider-Ham anyone?!) to use when constructing more Spidey waves moving forward. The new 2099 version looks slick, and hopefully we'll get a Noir (complete with a new trench coat mold and revolver!) and a few of the other standouts from the SpiderVerse story soon..
I know it might be burn-out for some (one too many versions of Spider-Man) but personally, I can't get enough. And as long as they keep peppering each new set of Spidermen with a few classic villains, I'm more than happy to hand over my money. And really, along with perhaps Batman, Spidey had to have one of the best, most extensive, diverse and iconic rouges galleries in modern comics to draw from. Hasbro has really only just begun to scratch the surface.. Exciting times to be a Marvel Legends fan..
I've got no problem with Hasbro wanting to do a Spidey in each wave, but they need to start amping up the villan releases. Two a wave is too little for someone with the huge villain count like Spider-Man.
So this is actually a new body then? Sorry, I don't follow many lines outside Transformers very closely any more. I like the Miles costume and am looking forward to picking it up. If these are different bodies I might pick up this Peter too. Love the Pizza Spidey but didn't see much difference between that and the new one. I think I may need to track down a Superior Spidey too. Pretty sure they're still sitting on pegs around me somewhere.
Next up Electro!

Wow, there's actually a pretty significant difference between the two. It might be worth owning both. Thanks for posting that pic.
As for Electro, I actually dig the electricity hands, but it's a bummer that they didn't include a regular set of hands as well. Probably wouldn't be hard to find a spare pair of black hands lying around somewhere, however.
Silk is a great figure enjoy the pics.

Is it just me or did that radiated spider really get around before actually "dying"? Seriously, like Tenth Doctor levels of walkabout biting everyone and everything before kicking the bucket. I'm waiting for the spin off where the Spider-Spider had it's own life in NYC, randomly biting things before finally giving up the will to live.
Silk impressed me when I got her in my hand.
Though we can always look forward to the epic team up of the Spider-Pigeon, the Spider-Rat and the Spider-Bum.
