When compared to any of the other ML figs I have, he's way more poseable and very expressive. He's got more articulation than you can shake a stick at - ankles, fingers, torso, elbows, wrists and toes. Basically, almost any pose you see Spidey strike in the comics or movies you can emulate with this figure.
Normally, I'd do a somewhat detailed biography of each new character in my collection, but seeing as it's freakin' Spider-Man, I won't bore you with re-telling that old story again. At least 85% of the planet knows who he is because of comics, cartoons and (especially) the movies, so there's no point. I guess I should write something, so here it is in point form:
-Peter Parker bitten by radioactive spider, gets spider powers
-Uncle Ben dies, with great power comes great responsibility, yadda yadda...
-Loves Mary Jane (the girl, not the drug)
-Shoots webs, sticks to walls, superhuman strength and agility, spider-sense tingles when danger is imminent
-Works as photographer for the Daily Bugle, boss is J.Jonah Jameson (who's a cigar-chewing grumpy-ass jerk)
-Enemies include Sandman, Green Goblin, Rhino, Doc Ock, Mysterio, Vulture, Scorpion, Venom, The Lizard, Kraven the Hunter, etc., etc.
-Had a costume that was a living alien organism - turned out to be a parasitic symbiote so he got rid of it, inadvertantly creating Venom
-Had a clone named Ben Reilly/Scarlet Spider
-Goes by the nicknames of "Wall-Crawler", "Spidey", "Web-Slinger" and "Web-Head"
I'm sure I could go on and on.......
Anyway, Spidey is awesome! I'm stoked to get lots of photos. I have a few so far, but I'm going to save them for the next "Sordid Life of Action Figures" episode. I'm also working on something really huge with regards to my action figures. To find out what it is, you'll just have to tune in next time.
Until then:
May the Force be with you...
