I had no his issues with my Tobey. So hopefully I avoid these issues.
Â
My Tom that was supposed to come tomorrow hasn't shipped yet, so no way that is coming tomorrow lol
I had some issues with stuck legs on my new Green and Red Rangers recently so with Spidey I didn't want to take any chances. I think everything will free up fine with some heat.
I haven't dropped $100 on new figures in quite a while......it kind of stung, and I'm still on the lookout for Andrew Spidey and MJ. I think I'm going to have to pass on Goblin and Doc Ock, unless I see a huge discount. My goal really is to have representation of each of the three Spideys, the supporting cast (MJ, Ned, JJJ), and the bad guys. I have movie Toybiz Green Goblin and Doc Ock, Hasbro Mysterio, Vulture, and Sandman (do I WANT that Electro in bad costume or wait for a potential NWH version?). It doesn't bother me mixing TB and Hasbro stuff, and the raggity purple hoodie on GG doesn't do much for me. You really have to pick and choose these days.
Picked up Tom, Tobey, & MJ at Target. Crazy to see these on shelves 2 years after the movie released...
Also received Goblin from Amazon earlier in the week.
All 4 figures are great. Surprised MJ doesn't have pinless legs though. Assuming they are the same legs from her first figure?
My GG will be arriving today--on my birthday--so that's my gift to myself (don't think I'll bother wrapping it, though 😉Â
Really want to give Target my money, but they do so little now to encourage it. They've got a whole system set up for me to easily figure out which stores have these figures, but they just stopped using their own system about a year ago. 😠 Don't really want to make blind store runs knowing that half or more of my local stores haven't even started their section reset yet.
Alright, went ahead and called two stores with DPCIs in hand. One had none of them, the other had them in the back. Asked them to hold Goblin and Tom Holland at the front desk and they agreed. Easier than I was expecting, but still a hassle to bother employees just because Corporate can't keep their inventory system updated. 🙄Â
Not sure when their reset is scheduled for but I haven't found any local stores that have done theirs yet. But I do have 12+ Targets in my area, so I'm sure at least one or two have done it by now.
Pulse getting ready to charge for Michelle, Murdock, Peter Two, Peter Three, and Sandman.Â
@enigmaticclarity Nice. Mine opens in ten minutes so I'm gonna try the old fashioned inventory check as well. I know between Target and Amazon, I'm only saving a couple bucks but I'll take it. And at least I'm not betting a long shot like Ferrara market.
I found a lone Tom Spidey at a local Target last night. Cancelled my Pulse order for it. Now I need Sandman and the other two Spideys.
Anyone have the DPCIs they can share?
Picked up Goblin today. A lot to absorb, but initial impression is that he's awesome. A figure of the year candidate, although probably not a winner. Face sculpt is incredible.
He's WAY too tall; not sure why they just completely ignored his scale. Dafoe is 5' 7", Maguire is 5' 7", Holland is 5' 6", and Garfield is 5' 11"--but this Goblin towers over them all. He's about 6.75" tall which for Legends scales him to be about 6' 3". That's really my only major complaint though, and height is always a nit-pick, so it speaks to how great the figure is overall that height is the major issue.
Really like the glider. As is usually the case with that stand it's tough to port into the glider, but as was true with Demogoblin and Hawkeye you can twist it into the hole relatively easy once you figure it out. But as usual the tallest height of the tripod is the thinnest, weakest plastic of the three sides, so it's difficult to get that one in without breaking it unless you heat it up.
Probably going to be on my top 10 list for this year. Year's pretty much done, so it's about time for that thread now.
@enigmaticclarity that probably sounds really anal but I totally get it with the height thing. That's why I cancelled my preorders for Black Series Baylan and Shin.
Goblin's gonna be on a flight stand though, and slouching, so I can live with that.

Totally, yea he'll be kneeling most of his shelf life with almost all of us so the height is even less of a concern. There's just no excuse for Baylan though, they scaled him to be at least half a foot shorter than Ray Stevenson was. I'm skipping that figure as well even though I enjoyed him in Ahsoka and LOVE Ray Stevenson ever since he was Titus Pullo in the HBO series "Rome."
Is Shin too big or too small? I haven't seen yet, just that it's the exact same size as Baylan. I know the actress is 5' 7", which is the same size Rosario Dawson is, although she's certainly taller with her montrals on.
@enigmaticclarity I feel exactly the same about Stevenson and the character. And apparently Shin is a little too tall as well. which I wouldn't mind if Baylan was correct at least. But both? Naw.
Thank you! How do you like it?
