Marvel Legends normally look like kid toys, SH Figurarts look like anime, and Diamond Select still will often look like comic art. I'm honestly impressed when any of them get a live action look done well, especially these days with so much of the sculpts being broken up for articulation's sake.
That mold is supposed to be an update of the retro card mold by fixing the thigh gap, shoulder size, and adding toe joints, but for some reason they just used the retro card mold for the assassin spider. They make improvements, but don't always use them.
@@brandonamezquita4501 ex. Using the Nick Fury legs for suited figures (bc of the ankle swivel and better feet) or using the new Matt Murdock suit body (everything is pinless and proportioned)
Great video. Fei Long was the figure that came to mind for how to do it right and you featured it in the video. Anthonyscustoms is the only reviewer I see who points this out. One of the worst offenders is the gamerverse Miles, but it gets praised.
Why are we still pretending like Toybiz figures are good by modern standards? Sure good for the time but if you want to talk about proportions I would not point to toybiz as an example. Look at the Tobey toybiz figs they are terrible proportioned
i swapped deadpools shoulders with vulcan buck black panthers shoulders and swapped the thighs of assassin spider with the same black panthers thighs gap is gone
I'll probably be crucified for this, but I feel similarly about Mafex's classic and black suit Spideys, also. Still a bit too smooth and child-looking with those big-ass heads compared to the comics, yet the unmasked heads that are included clearly show that both versions are supposed to be an adult Peter. You know it's fucked when Revoltech comes closest to being faithful to his physique with the 2.0 they released, and those things have warped proportions on purpose for the sake of articulation.
I’m glad somebody is addressing this I freaking hate the shfiguarts Andrew Garfield Spider-Man his head is so small and tobey feels like he has no nose.
Toybiz figures are not good by today’s standards. You cannot seriously say the proportions were better in the toybiz days. It’s nostalgia from those figures you guys miss lmao. Not to say legends has no problems, but to say that toybiz is great is just revisionist imo
Worst part about action figures (especially spider-man) the fact that a normal spider-man figure in a store has less articulation than other figures in a Target/Wallmart
(I’m gonna be so stupid when I say this) do every figure needs to be 100% to the movies besides the texture and that one shf figure of Andrew spider-man
SHF hips are perfectly fine, the promo pictures just suck. For a vanilla pose, you gotta push the "diaper" pieces back and it looks fine. The articulation on the hips is also insanely good.
@@venomouscollector it really is fine when you pose it correctly. The promo shots just do it wrong. All you gotta do to make it better is slide the pieces back. Spider Criminal showed that really well in his SHF Tobey video
@@venomouscollector I dunno what to say then. I really do think the SHF hips aren't that bad. I will say though, I like how Mafex does their dropdown hips. There are good things about modern figures when it comes to engineering
The more I look at the Marvel Legends Tobey Maguire figure the more it looks like the image in the video to me
💩💩

They’re reusing the renew your vows body instead of just taking the toe articulation on all the figures

@@Cenazinosaur04 Yeah, also made new arms without the holes for the Amazing Fantasy Spider-Man mold, but didn't use them on the one with the 3 pack.

Exactly 🙏
So glad someone’s finally talking about this
A lot of marvel legends figures nowadays are a big reason as to why I miss Toybiz.

@@racer2k704 The
ToyBiz Tobey figure still has better proportions than the Hasbro Marvel Legends.
Hey are you still selling Mafex or Mezco figures?
Send me a DM on Instagram
@@venomouscollector what's yo ig
i swapped deadpools shoulders with vulcan buck black panthers shoulders and swapped the thighs of assassin spider with the same black panthers thighs gap is gone
I genuinely would love to see you do the thumbnail but with amazing yamaguchi figures or revoltech, I’d be dead

peanut parker
It’s not that the shoulders are low but his collar is too high, high enough to look like a bust if you crop the image
Tamashii nations should make spider-man the same way they make their Kamen Rider Figures
The mezco Spider-Man is supposed to be high school age Spider-Man 8:13
They dont even model lines
(I’m gonna be so stupid when I say this) do every figure needs to be 100% to the movies besides the texture and that one shf figure of Andrew spider-man

It's not fine when it looks like a diaper that's the problem. Jada Toys and Mafex reaches the same movement with no weird cuts.

I had the figure in hand before it's as bad as the promo images
