ML Retro Spider-Man Series

[NORM]

I love everything on that Lizard. But his classic head eyes are a little too Muppet. I can’t not picture him in the rival band to Emmit Otter’s jugband. This is not necessarily a flaw.

Anyone know why bendy wire parts always have little holes cut into the plastic every few inches? I've now seen bendy wire parts from several different companies and they ALL use those holes.

Manufacturing process. Those holes are where pins hold the wire frame in the molding process.

After the material cools/cures, it gets popped out. In some cases the pins withdraw before ejection, in other cases the piece is ejected away from the pins by a pusher which leave marks of its own.

Either way, its hardened with the bracing pinhole intact.

When I was a li'l Molly, I thought they were air holes to keep the toy flexible. All my Gumby and Pokey stuff had them, and a Bugs bendy toy.

Isn’t there a Werewolf by Night Halloween special this year? Or is that next year?

Wow, thanks for that info! I've always wondered about that, but never enough to look it up apparently.

I also had a bendy Bugs and a Gumby and Pokey, and they always come to mind when I get a new toy with a bendy tail or tentacles or what have you. Because of them, I find one pose for a bendy part and never change it. I treated Bugs like an action figure (he was a main character in my play stories) and his leg wires snapped pretty early on. Back then I thought the holes were from the wire poking through the rubber, and I was like, "I don't remember that happening."

I'm actually torn on which head I want to display.

Did lizard already went up for pre roders?

I don't believe so. I think people are expecting it to go up during Wal-Marts next collector con event which is sometime in July.

I really hope this figure shows up in the UK before July. I plan on getting mine the moment he’s available and not waiting for Walmart to put it up for preorder in July and ship in December.

I hope he's as easy to pre-order as Dr. Strange. When is that stupid collector con thing for Walmart? And how come I can't find a link to it on the app?

Riverbottom Nightmare Band! I love it.

Yes, classic Lizard looks fantastic!

Now I desperately want Emmet Otter toys (although I've wanted them for years). That's one of my favorite Christmas specials and it doesn't come close to getting the proper praise.

As far as the Lizard, I love the classic head and won't even consider displaying him without it. He also makes the last figure I need to consider my Spidey rogues complete, so I'm extra excited for him.

Some time in July. I don’t believe they’ve officially announced it yet, so it’s not on their app. Probably won’t be until a week or a few days before it actually happens.

man I love Emmitt otter. and lizard is up July 21

[crackhead9000]

I wish Lizard were a smidge taller, but he's otherwise perfect and I certainly won't complain once he's in hand.

The new Rhino is fantastic. I think that the two headsculpts may be Hasbro's strongest portraits yet.
