And, even though it was just a brief, few seconds, non-speaking cameo, we also need Owl. 😀Chameleon and Mysterio are the two biggest omissions, for the villains.
Well we also need a toon accuratre Silvermane, Kingpin, Rhino, a bigger scorpion, toon accurate hobgoblin, Herbert Landon, Tombstone, Hammerhead, toon accurate lizard, Spider-Carnage, Blade's mother, Baron Mordo, Human Smythe in his hoverchair, Man-Spider, Richard Fisk and Big Wheel.
Cracked open the two-pack just now. Agree with above the Vulture is almost TOO good for such a niche character--someone in-house loved this design and it shows. Mine's a little stiff in the shoulders and gummy in the elbows but the design itself is great. Can't decide if I should display the young face or older one.
I always have three or four variations of Spidey on my desk at any given time so I don't really have a favorite buck -- I don't even resent Pizza Spidey anymore! -- and my only complaint about Spidey in this set is he's also a little gummy in the elbows but really stiff in the knees. I like displaying multiversal unmasked Peters so I like the head (the Flash head is a bit of a waste cos it's a really nice sculpt I'll never use). The little held mask is a great accessory though. Wish we'd gotten one of these yars ago. It's just neat.
Blade and Punisher are my remaining wants with Chameleon.
Got Spider-Man vs Vulture today. Really nice set. Vulture looks so cool in person. Love how he has three different greens on his costume to differentiate different materials. He really is stunning, as others have said. Stiff shoulders and somewhat gummy in the biceps swivel peg though.
Spider-Man is predictably great on this body. I didn’t get this animated Peter head before now since I bought Smythe loose. Both unmasked heads for Spidey look great. Overall this might be my favorite set of the animated two-packs, although I did really like the Daredevil vs. Hydro-Man set as well.
Curious what other ML Spidey heads would match/work with this buck
Finally opened my walmart Venom, was fiddling with him, lost my grip and he scraped on my fingernail and it just cut a huge line off his white paint. What a cheap piece of shit. The paint on this guy and the three pack Venom are some of the worst paint apps I've ever handled. I was just on my way to spray seal him too.
Starting to worry about my Spidey/Vulture set from Pulse. The new Pulse app is not very user friendly in telling me the status of the order. I received an e-mail asking me to rate my satisfaction of this set, but I haven't received it yet. I placed the order at the same time I ordered the Deluxe Kang and hover chair and the GI Joe exclusive. That one is a pre-order so wouldn't have shipped, but expected the others by now and, based on the e-mails asking me to rate my experience it seems like Hasbro expected that too.
But the order page at Pulse doesn't isn't marked as shipped and so I'm confused. I am considering calling their customer service line, but I'm not sure how much help they'll be honestly.
More help than doing nothing. The order obviously needs a push.
If anyone's curious how Venom looks with a hit of Mr Super Clear flat blue can matte sealant:
I need to hit his fists again because they're pretty glossy but for now they serve as a good reference to how the black plastic used to look. Very minimal paint rub doing poses but it is still a thing, especially on the tops of the hips, so heads up to anyone wanting to do this "mod". Looks great in person. Love this Venom head!
