My favorite, so far, is probably Kang and Photon, but I haven't received Green Goblin yet but I also imagine he will be up there.
I only do MCU, but my favorite this year is Dafoe Goblin. I would round out a top 5 with Kingpin, Kang, Andrew and Tobey Spider-Man. Tom Spidey missed the top 5 for me cause while I like him the most aesthetically, the hips and shoulders suck. I can forgive Kang being limited because of the costume. But when it's cause of stiff joints, points get docked. Tom Spidey would have been 2 had the joints not sucked
It's way too soon but I'm totally down for a Nightcrawler/Uncanny Spider-Man figure now.
Chop chop, Hasbro!
So is his tail in the costume? Like, there's just a long, spade-tipped sock sewn into the back?
I actually haven't picked up that many this year, but that's mainly because my central Marvel Legends focus is Spider-Man stuff and this has been a fairly lackluster year for that. Just one mediocre wave and some MCU figures.
The Andrew Garfield Spidey figure is DEFINITELY a top ten figure for the year. Why didn't you like that one?
I actually really love that Spider-Man too. I've said before but it's still my favorite movie suit and that figure is outstanding, even without comparing it to the 'ASM2' figure they did years ago.
Dwight said something like the Garfield Spidey was the best Spidey he had ever worked on. I thought he might be exaggerating when he said that in a stream, but nope, it's exceptional.
@enigmaticclarity I'm just not interested in movie Spidey figures beyond the Sam Raimi trilogy ones, that's all. I'll admit I am really tempted to pick that one up since it looks like a great toy of a cool costume, but I'm not sure if I need it, y'know? Don't have much affection for the source material.
Really, just about all of the movie Spider-Man stuff looks fantastic, I will say. Even the animated movie stuff. I forgot the Across the Spider-Verse wave came out this year and many of the figures there seemed really good too.
It's comics wise that I feel this has been a somewhat lackluster year for Spidey, which I don't really mind. It just means that I'm not buying as much ML as I often do.
I'm hearing Final Swing Spidey is also a top ten figure candidate. I don't have mine yet so I can neither confirm nor deny.
This year's top ten is looking to be mostly MCU figures for the first time in a while. They almost always get the most original sculpts anyway, but that mostly doesn't translate into GREAT sculpts for whatever reason. This year has seen some really great MCU figures though.
@enigmaticclarity it really is. ASM2 was kinda an okay movie merged with a bad one merged with a pretty good one, so it was a bizarre experience to watch, but that costume (and Andrew in that opening sequence) was the best part of the entire movie to me. Either way, I always loved the big McFarlane-ish eyes, the colors, his build in the suit, etc. To me, they nailed the look of the character on screen even if a lot of other aspects didn't land.
It's way too soon but I'm totally down for a Nightcrawler/Uncanny Spider-Man figure now.
Chop chop, Hasbro!
wait, is this Kurt dressed as Spidey or some alternate version where he got bit by the spider and has both teleporting and spider powers??
The former. Peter loaned Kurt one of his old suits.

agreed. I love how he moves.
Unstable molecules, obviously.
