“Oh man, is the Fwoosh talking about the Amazing Yamaguchi Spider-Gwen again??” Yes, we are. We love this line and Gwen is looking awesome. Okay, maybe “we” don’t love this line. I do. And I get harassed about it from certain other Fwooshers. I’m so abused.
But like I always say, just look at this thing. Yes, the joints can be ugly. Hell, the knees look downright horrifying in a couple of these pics. But look past that, into the pose itself. Plastic can do that?? Add that to the kick-ass design of Spider-Gwen herself and yeah, this is bought.
I grabbed these pics from this Amazon.jp listing. It’s not available to pre-order quite yet but it should be soon.
We’ve seen these first pics in the magazine looking ad from a few days ago. Cool poses, cell phone, different faces.
Also, the accessory pic is much easier to see now. The heads are actually faces that fit into a single hood piece.
Hands, webs, stand pieces. But in the above pic the wider eyed mask looks asymmetrical, like the right is larger and shaped different than the right. I still like it but need to see it closer. But while the listing says three face options, I could swear these are all different.
Which brings me to the unmasked Gwen head. It looks great until you get the figure into a vanilla pose.
Then it looks tiny. If you compare the masked faces and the unmasked and take into account that they all have to fit within the same hood, the hair is the problem. In order to get the hair under there the face had to be shrunk. Not a huge deal because the masked faces look proportionate and you can still do this…
Revoltech isn’t meant to stand straight up, it’s meant to pose!! And the more I see, the more I need.
Spider-Gwen will release in June and run around $50.
Suck it, Indy.
