I cant imagine how long the photoshop of these figures take, but damn I love them. Your version always makes so much more sense. Makes me wish that is how the figure was released. Keep up the good work
10 to 30 minutes roughly
I agree with this! His objectivity is his main attraction but these photoshops and breakdowns of what's possible with articulation put the emphasis on Anthony's CUSTOMS and make his perspective unique. I dig them.
The Photoshops are good enough that people tried to steal them and make them pass as their own works, that speaks a lot of how important they have become to point out flaws in marvel legends
It needs the boots that stick up. Also the shield
If only I could magically generate Anthony's photoshops into real figures...
Well in this case i find his photoshoped version much much worse than the original figure, but that's just my personal opinion.
@@pyrrhus70 ok

@@pyrrhus70 stop the cap
@@pyrrhus70 we got the marvel legends defender over here
Damn, your photoshop broke me. Now that's the figure that I want
Photoshopped version looks so much better, oh my god
Why is hasbro afraid of making big and bulky figures when they need to do so?
God I love this channel, been watching for like a decade now and its never gotten old, I don’t even collect legends and yet here I am.
Thanks a lot
Scarlet Spider suit is up there for me. Love the hoodie. I think Miles’ original black with red lines is pretty sick too.
I really like this figure. It's the best looking one from the wave, in my opinion.
Objectively speaking... I hate that Hasbro is selling us this as part of the retro cartoon-inspired wave when it's clearly based off the PS4 game. I hate that the articulation is just ok, at this point it should be better than older Legends and it isn't. I also hate that wall crawling hands for Spider-Man aren't included with EVERY Spidey figure. Boy, even their new Iron Spider figure won't have wall crawling hands...
Man, it's 2022 and Hasbro refuses to do things right. Give me wall crawling hands instead of those stupid webs...
Question of the day: I like the Spider-Man Unlimited suit. That thing was cool looking.
Hell nah. This figure looks terrible. 🚮🚮🚮 The best figures in THIS wave were black suit Spider-Man, Hammerhead and Shocker. Ben Reilly Spider-Man was JUST okay, but not really worth purchasing. The Hobgoblin and this armor suited Spider-Man were 🚮🚮🚮🚮🚮
@@JohnnyBlaze_616 "In my opinion".
It's 100% ok if you have a different one.
I actually like the smaller shoulder armor, I think its actually an improvement from the artwork on the card and makes the suit overall look more practical because of how nimble Spider-Man is, rather than a big bulky War Machine type suit. I'm also glad they put the texture on the black body suit. Sure, the original comics and cartoon may not have had the texturing, but it adds more depth to the figure. He is short, and it would have been nice to but this design on a standard Spider-Man body, but in the end I still think its a fun figure. Was it 100% retro? Nope, but I still dig it.
My favorite suit is probably the scarlet spider one with the hood
Yeah, same one for me
I love the Future Foundation suit, it just looks so sleek and sci-fi. It worked perfectly for Hickman's FF run, and I love seeing it whenever it appears in anything.
Spider-man 2099 never showed up in any of the cartoons from what I remember, maybe you’re thinking of the Spider-man Unlimited suit?
I always considered it an homage to 2099 considering the web cape and similar aesthetic. But yes, I'm referring to the unlimited design.
Wish we got the Spiderman 2099 on the vulcan body
Those 13 episodes are amazing!
It's amazing the silver paint is clean on yours. I have seen so many in-person, including mine missing small amounts of silver paint in multiple places. The worst I have seen is two figures missing silver paint completely on one shoulder and on the knee.
Your Photoshop adjustment was so great it made me sad. This looks like body paint instead of an armor
That pose at the end sums up the video perfectly 🤣
I like how when you talk about how to do the ball peg right it links to your rival figure prototypes in the corner. made me lol
your adjusted photo looks soooo much better
You still the 🐐 toy reviewer, Anthony. Always keep it 💯. 🙌
The Photoshop in this guy was very useful to get your point! It looks a lot better then. The articulation comparison with Clayface killed me hahaha I loved watching this, very educational
I really like seeing your photoshop comparisons in your reviews.
The adjustment you did made a big difference in the aesthetic Hasbro needs you to design / engineer the Legends line
My favorite alt costume for Spidey, if it counts, its Ben Reilly's Sensational Spider-man suit. It's the godfather of all Spider-man redesigns. The visible web-shooters, the giant Spider logo, no belt, the big eyes and no stripe in the arm. Killer look.
Spider-Man Noire would be my favorite since the classic design can't be involved. But if the classic suit was allowed I would choose Man-Spider from the 90s cartoon. Always liked how monstrous he looked and his powers going off the rails turning him into an actual man sized spider.
I picked this up cause I thought it looked cool (it's also totally based on the game version). I wonder if they made the shoulders that small so they didn't have to deal with the shoulder pad as a separate piece.
The red & black suit designed by Alex Ross was my favorite back in time
This is actually my favorite variant suit. I have the original comic book. Its one of the first comics I remember owning. It even had a spinoff story in the back with Marvel's knockoff Spawn
My other favorite suit is the Scarlett Spider outfit. I just enjoy the simplicity and the blue hoodie. The photoshops are great, hope you can keep making them bc they always help!
Thank you for taking your time on photoshoping this figure 🙏🏽
Yup I skip this one something was off and I also skip black suit Spidey the white paint was horrible on all of them and like you said for the price point does not cut it
For me, my favorite alternate suit is the OG 2099 suit. The suit kept spidey's traditional red and blue coloring, but made it its own. The luchadore inspired aesthetic and the giant spider emblem having a skull face was just genius. Web cape was also a great homage to the underarm webs. Its just an awesome suit to look at and when you see it, you instantly know it belongs to Spider-Man
That photo shop destroyed this figure lol
If I remember correctly, I do remember hearing or reading somewhere that it is supposed to be based more primarily on the PS4 game, and they did just release it as a retro-carded release.
your photoshops always make me excited for the rival figures you teased a while ago.
still working on them.
I like the look, apart from the small shoulders. My problem with it is it's too small compared to the other Spidey figs.
I'd be happy if they added texturing to comic book figures. The only reason characters didn't have fancier designs in the comics is, it would've taken the artists forever to draw and ink them.
I’ve been waiting for them to make this figure for so long because I’ve always loved this costume, probably because I had the 10 inch version of the original release as a kid. I have such a soft spot for it. But when they released the first images I was so disappointed, because they didn’t use the original design, which was based off the comic. If they would have put this in the gamerverse line, then that’s whatever, but putting it in the retro just stings. On top of that, the proportions don’t even match the game model. Overall It’s a costume that was a guaranteed buy from me, but now, maybe only if it was on sale or something.
Same. I had the big one too
U tell em Anthony Custom's!!!
Love your reviews
spiderman unlimited costume or the hoodie wearing scarlet spider costumes are my favorites
You totally took the wind out of this figure. I was on the fence but now can’t justify getting it.
Q of the day? Spider-Man 2099 or Bigtime
Spiderman unlimited was so good, that's my fave too. Intro to the show was dope too
I always had a soft spot for Scarlet Spider, the DIY nature of the suit has charm.
I would have bought that photoshopped figure, this ain't it chief.
Now that you mention the PS4 game, methinks Hasbro wanted to be sneaky and reuse the same buck twice for the video game and the cartoon/comic look, despite being totally different aside from finish. If they did this guy in metallic blacks, it'd be a perfect video game version, but cartoon it is not
Same reason I loved the Scarlet Spider look. Has a real world appeal that would translate well in any media.
I also love the Sensational Spiderman costume from that same era. Ben Reily had the best gear if you ask me.
My favorite would be scarlet spider, with the blue hoodie
Zup Anthony, Spider-Man armor!!!? Never read this story on comics, thanks for the video bro 😎
My theory is that it was a game stop exclusive that game stop canceled and they just threw it in the retro wave
It's based off the 🎮. I love this figure and the assories are brand new to my knowledge. You are right it looks nothing like the box art but I think it looks better imo.
Scarlet spider is my fave design. Either the hoodie Ben Reilly or the red and black Kaine Parker.
My favourite Spiderman design? Superior Spiderman, no doubt. Black + dark red, spider legs on the back, really nice look. Also the book's great
I love the Scarlet Spider look. Mafex coming out with that look has me hype. I missed the marvel legends one.
I'm gonna say I like the Spiderman Last Stand Red Jacket with the Spider, the Black Jeans with the Mask, is something I imagine a Old Peter Parker would use because is more practical and easy to change.
And the Figure looks like a cosplay made by recycled materials.
Love your photoshopped versioned! Agree the silver paint looks nice but that’s about it. Lol to the laying down pose, that gets me every time! 😽🤟❣️
In retrospect so happy i left this one on the shelf a couple months ago …. The sad thing is and i think Anthony you may agree …. They have the almost a near perfect buck to base this on in the recent Retro Daredevil release …. I mean it doesnt even require that much thought unless we consider that figure to be a big for an 11 year old cosplayer / Halloween costume they were sadly going for here
If iron spider counts then my vote goes to that one
I gotta agree I dislike that it's small but I still really like this one. Weird how this figure got me into collecting MLs. As for my favorite suit, the one from 2099 rocks.
My favorite Spidey costume is from the Spider-Man Unlimited cartoon. I love the design, the nanotech, and the cape.
I personally like the figure, it's definetly based on the PS4 game just by the physique of the figure. I feel this mold has potiental where it can replace the pizza Spidey mold. Of course it's gon need a lot of editing.
This armor suit is based on the games and not in the comic or animated series, that's why I didn't bought it. As for the spidey suit... aside from those you mentioned, my favorite is the Sensational Spiderman... the one that Ben Reilly used when he took over as spidey. Always love your figure reviews Anthony, keep them coming... 🍺
Ben Riley cold spiderman is my favorite design,or homemade suit from Tobey movies
Sad to say I totally agree. Ps4 tiny armor look. Awesome paintjob though! The photoshop looks great!! Needed this guy for my spider-verse shelf (based on the ps1 games suits). Great review I knew I should not have watched because it confirms my thoughts...
I liked this figure, but would have absolutely loved it if he looked like your photoshot version.
I believe this is the video game version of the Spider Armor suit.
I agree with your critics and I'm glad I haven't preordered it.
Thanks for the review Anthony.
Update: this is actually pretty accurate, but they seemed to base it off the ps4 game and not the comic/cartoon as shown in the art.
If you're completely unfamiliar with the source material because you took two decades off collecting action figures and don't really read comics (me!), it looks pretty sweet. I definitely see the frustration though, this would look so much better if the chest and shoulders and arms (and legs, particularly calves) were beefier. This version of Spider-Man wears like a 50L suit size in the source material and this figure looks like a 38M.
You are correct, he is based on the ps4 costume
My favorite is Parker in the fantastic four suit with the paper bag on his head
Spider Punk is probably my fav spidey outfit.
This figure is based on the PS4 game version of this suit and its pretty accurate but yeah they did pick the wrong packaging for this
The details are accurate. Body shape, not so much.
This looks more like an upgrade to the Mk 1 that actually permits Spidey to be his nimble usual self than the actual Mk1 hence why it looks less bulky.
For QOTD I would maybe say the Spider-Man unlimited suit. That cartoon wasn’t great but wow I love the look of that suit
The Spectacular Spiderman Cartoon has a great spider suit
Cosmic spider man is my favorite
Just looks cool
For start I want to make it clear, I'm not defending Hasbro, just sharing my opinion.
The biggest problem is the package which indicates this is a comic book/cartoon Spider-Man BUT this is clearly a ps4 version and in comparison to the game it looks almost the same. So with that in mind it has the right look.
As for other two problems which are articulation and accessories; if Hasbro has problem with making dumbbell joint, they should make a simple neck hinge (the rest of the articulation is good enough. Sure, the hips could be better but in comparison with some other agile characters, this one is pretty good) and those webs are very "meh", we should get at least a pair of wall crawling hands instead.
Overall I'll give this figure 8/10
Is he 12 in the game? Because the height of this figure indicates he is 12 years old.
@@AlanDavidDoane He doesn't look 12 lol. Maybe he's a little too short but the figure looks like it's supposed to, the design checks out.
I had the little metal figure for this suit as a kid. It's cool to finally have a modern version but it sucks that it's a bit of a letdown.
favorite suit is easily spider-armor mark IV, and we dont have a good figure of it other than the Hot Toys yet.
how would you rate the look of this figure knowing it is based on the PS4 game instead of the cartoon/comics? I think minus some of the usual musculature issues it is not too bad.
This figure EASILY could have been made with the retro articulation. I've been working on a custom of this figure with mafex level articulation, the sculpting of this figure deserves better.
I did think that this was meant to be the game version of the suit, but I like the game version. I am an articulation snob, but I actually am content with this Spider-Man; however, I have low, to no expectations on Marvel Legends, as they are low-end collectibles, and I do not collect very many of them. This suit is one of my favorites, as it was one of the ones I used in the ps1 game, so there was bias in my purchase. Another thing is, there really aren't fully articulated versions, so while not exactly accurate to the comic versions-- it shouldn't be in the retro card if is not going to look accurate to the reto-style-- it is what is available and isn't bad for the price, though that is just my opinion. Again, I buy Marvel Legends, I go in with very low expectation in the first place; however, your reviews are meant to be objectively critical, so the points you make over the figure are valid.
The Scarlet spider suit is pretty nostalgiac for me. I love it so much
I think the issue is that this figure is based on the ps4 version not the comic or cartoon version of the armor mark 1
I liked the spiderman unlimited animated suit
Either Spider-Man Unlimited or the Ben Riley suit. The one with the spider legs going over the shoulders
As someone whose favorite Spider Suit ever is the Spider Armor Mk I, this figure made me incredibly sad when I got it. An appearance based off the PS4 game rather than the comic or cartoon, terrible range of motion, and no wall crawling hands or shield. And all with new parts sculpted out just for it meaning that there was absolutely no excuse either. Here's to hoping that MAFEX or Sentinel or some other company gives us a proper figure for the suit someday.
even if this is supposed to be the PS4 version he's still quite small when that peter is already in his 20's
Mhm
I do like the Kaine scarlet spider suit but counting only peter I'll go with the spider-man unlimited suit, the show maybe wasn't that good but that suit is very cool in my eyes
favorite alternate look has to be superior spiderman first suit. I don't think it received enough attention
Mines gotta be the suit from spiderman unlimited. Not sure if that falls under black suit or not
Figure looks cool but when I think of armor I think of bulky looking, you’re adjustment looks way better
As for fav suit
Spider Punk
Hmmmm besides OG red and blue and the Symbiote suit it's a toss up between hooded Scarlet Spider or Classic 2099
Breaking the law breaking the law because the insomniac suit is my favorite
I agree 100% with you on the proportions of this figure. From the moment I first saw it revealed I immediately was thrown off by the proportions. It doesn’t look at all like the design it’s meant to represent. Hasbro does this sometimes where they want to blend different influences into a hybrid design. This figure is supposed to please the old school fans plus the fans of the ps4 game. Instead, they should stick to one design and then that way they’d have many more releases to make money from. Hasbro, please stop mixing influences from different artists and give us one artist’s design at a time. Great review as always.
Comic version iron spider is my favorite hands down
I’d say the Iron Spider suit is a favorite of mine
Excellent Photoshop skills AC. You should charge Hasbro copyright fees for their next release as chances are - they will build it as per your photo.
My favorite alternate Spider-Man is the armored one, so seeing your photoshop makes me so sad that the figure doesn't look like that.
Petter Parker clone that becomes scarlet spider with the hand stingers
The web splats are for weapons, the smaller one can go over the shape of a pistol like the hood's, and the longer one can go over weapons like hammerhead's baseball bat.
But why? That makes no sense lol
@@AnthonysCustoms I don't know I guess like he webbed them up to the side of the wall😂 I was able to make some cool poses with them at least, but I would have easily taken open crawling hands over them.
Or how about webs to actually look like Pete globbed web on them? That would be cool.
@@AnthonysCustoms Well coming up with something simple that would be cooler than what we got usually ends up being the conversation when it comes to legends...
@@phoenixlindstrom5873 indeed
It's based on the ps4 game model, they thought they were sneaky putting it in the retro line
I like house of M and spiderman unlimited. Both are pretty cool
Classic Scalret Spider
The Superior Spider-man.
Can I say man-spider? Kinda like Spidey wearing a monster costume! I hope we get 1!!
What is it with Hasbro and them not including wall crawling hands for Spider-Man figures? That’s like having an Iron Man figure without Repulsor Blast effects (which Hasbro has actually done believe it or not).
Some video game Spidey skins are awesome. no sure why you are excluding them, But my favorite is 2099 as issue one was my first comic as a kid.
I'm excluding only the main red/blue
My top 10 spidey suits are
Six arm Spiderman
Scarlet spider
Spider armor mark one
Future foundation
Man spider
Spider hulk
Iron spider
Cosmic Spider-Man
Cyborg Spiderman
First appearance Spider-Man
That Photoshop is darn good man . But ı think they took the game version as a referance .
