Got my 2 Spider-Men. No paint or quality issues, that you'll see magnified on the socials. Poses like a dream and it's the ideal Peter I've waited for. A beyond worthy successor to Spider-Man Classics Series 12 Spidey.
It’s only “magnified” if it didn’t happen to your copy.
Or it's magnified because it's the same 3 images being posted across multiple platforms, by people who do not even own the figure, to rage farm engagement.
Do better.
Next one was leaked to supposedly be Deadpool. Honestly I don't know what that's gonna' look like since another Deadpool (the one that came with Bob from the SDCC pack) is supposed to release this year also. Honestly I don't think I need a bevy of Deadpool accessories, as I already have some of his more absurd ones from the 3-4 Deadpools I already own. I can't think of anything but dismembered body parts that would really make it stand out, as I keep my Deadpool mostly just 90s-X-Men specific and his usual look.
I might break for the Maximum Wolverine, or a Cyclops but honestly Cyclops has so many different outfits, it'd have to be either 90s or his Dark Phoenix era look. Honestly Spiderman seemed the better value than Hulk to me and I bought neither. Supposedly there's a deluxe Storm coming, it specifically said deluxe and not Maximum, so I doubt they'd double dip that soon after. Maybe Gambit or Captain America would sell alright enough to warrant a spot. I could be swayed for a really packed out Nightcrawler. But I think characters like Iron Man specifically might suffer from this line as he's got so many suits to choose from. Captain America and Wolverine would probably be my choices coming from a sales perspective.
I mean I think when it comes to the maximum Spidey you are being a little over critical. It doesn't just come with a web shield. It comes with like 22 accessories where the average spider-man comes with 5-7. Not to mention its the most articulated spidey they've ever done and can get into poses that other Spider-man figures like the RYV and the AF body can't even reachMaximum Spiderman is a good figure, but it’s not “worth the price”. This time last year, a basic ML was $22-26. Some of those even included build a figure pieces. This new Spiderman is not worth two and a half other figures just because it includes a web shield. Hell- there isn’t even a stand included.
One could make the argument that maybe Hulk is. MAYBE.
In other news, there should probably be at least two Smart Hulks. One with alt slippers instead of hands. One with boots and a big ole gun. They should have the same skin tone so parts can be used interchangeably.

Yeah but the difference in accessories is not worth the $35 extra dollars this figure costs. Further, the fact that it can move in the way Spiderman figures always should have doesnt justify the cost either. Just because they used a new body doesn’t make this one figure worth that extra money. All the reuse of Vulcan and Bucky before that are what is supposed to enable new bodies. Also, they should have made a standard Spiderman body like this years ago. The fact that it took this long and we really wanted it due to the wait doesn’t mean the price isn’t a rip off. If McF were to suddenly fix the height issues and the nearly non existent forward crunch on their abdomen joint on a new buck, that doesn’t mean they should charge me $20 more for it in their latest Batman. I might want it and pay the extra money, but they are still ripping me off.

My figure also has issues with the paint, I just don’t post online. So does my bro’s. Plus we’ve seen video reviews that have paint issues on their copies. Who are you trying to protect by denying that some of the figures have qc issues with the deco? Most figure lines do- why would this one figure be any different?

If your "paint issues" are only identifiable with a magnifying glass, as many of them are, I'm just not going to take you seriously at all. Especially when it's clear you have a pre-existing hate boner for the figure.
Naw. No hate boner for the figure from me. Just the price. The figure itself seems really good from the videos I’ve seen on both sides of the aisle. I really don’t want all those accessories that magically boost the price up to $50. I am hoping they release this figure later at normal price whatever that will be after tariffs. I will consider getting it then. Or if a good sale happens that knocks off about $20. Good chance Hasbro will rerelease the mold later too. I am not keeping up with ML as much nowadays but they have not said they will retire this mold for just this Maximum series right?
@leor I think the general expectation is that we will get more spidey variants on this body at least going forward in the maximum line. So other well known iconic costumes like the black suit, spider armor, battle damaged, classic romita sr, Amazing Fantasy, Scarlet Spider, Sensational, 2099, Six Arm...even several suit variations we haven't seen before are all up for grabs and could see Maximum treatment.
And as far as generalized accessories are concerned I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if the ML team decided to take a page out of the Fortnite line and make an Accessories pack for street dios and other assembly pieces that would work for generalized characters.
Ah okay. I don’t even mind waiting a couple of years for this body to be reused on another classic red and blue Spidey. Maybe even if the blue is slightly lighter or even black. I really wouldn’t mind owning it. Just not at $50.
