Marvel Legends The Amazing Spider-Man Symbiote Photo Shoot

under Marvel Toy News, Random Photo Shoot

The Klyntar, as the symbiotes call themselves, originate from an unnamed planet from the Andromeda Galaxy, and are a benevolent species which believes in helping others, which they attempt to do by creating heroes through the process of bonding to the morally and physically ideal. Hosts afflicted with chemical imbalances or cultural malignancy can corrupt symbiotes, turning them into destructive parasites. Spider-Man brings one home to Earth after the Secret Wars and kicked off one of the biggest iconic versions of Spider-Man of all time.

Marvel Legends The Amazing Spider-Man Symbiote

Pros
Awesome Version of Spider-Man
Great Articulation

Cons
No web shooting hands
poor paint application of a great design

Overall
Symbiote Spider-Man is kind of a let down. Between the awful white paint application and the missing web shooting hands it’s one of the few Spider Man figures that Hasbro has done that did not live up to the hype. If you plan on picking one up just make sure you check the paint before you buy this one. Hit or Miss i’m on the fence?

    Every time I look at his face, I just hear Steve Blum saying, "Can Spider-Man come out and play?"

    I said it back when the figure was revealed and I'll say it again now. That head is flatout ugly. It alone turned me off of buying the toy months ago which is a shame considering it's Green Goblin. Oh well, money saved.

    I already have Shocker and Ms. Marvel from this wave and they're both great...sculpts, paint apps, everything is perfect. Very good plastic quality also, no wobbly knees or anything.

    I like how appropriately fugly the face is but I have a problem with the way the hat straps hang down like excessive material muttonchops. Not my favorite Green Goblin head sculpt but a good one still.

    Ew. That's one of the reasons I wouldn't touch the Toybiz one.

    My favorite thing about this figure is the chest piece, it looks like a cool Punisher symbol. The rest is ok. The heels stick out too far past the back of the leg. It just isn't my favorite.

    And now my least favorite from the wave. A total waste of plastic when they couldn't even be bothered to give him additional hands or anything. Not to mention the shoulders scrape against the body when you rotate them upward.

    I wonder if Ben Reilly's hands fit him? Although from the little I know about him he's more of a brawler and less of an acrobat, so I think the fists make sence.

    They do. I've got the thwip hands in him right now, but they of course don't match his actual hands.

    And he may be more of a brawler, but he still shot webs the normal way.

    Nice. Highlight of the wave for me, along with Green Goblin and the BAF.

    Got Ms. Marvel for my girlfriend as she's a big fan. This figure is adorable.

    She's an all right figure. I don't like the lack of joints on the extended arms and it would have been nice if they also gave her elongated legs too. In fact, they should have Deadpool'd her and had a different figure to come with the Sandman parts.

    As for the character herself, I only know her from the appearance in Spider-Verse and she didn't wow me to care about her.

    I think they should do every figure's accessories like Deadpool's and instead of BAFs they should just release a deluxe figure every wave. Different company and style but back when that's how McFarlane released their big figures, just as the deluxe boxed figure of the wave as opposed to being forced to buy a bunch of toys you may not want just to have the one that you do. I never have been and never will be a fan of the BAF gimmick.
