SUMMARY:
Released by Hasbro in 2022, this six-inch Marvel’s Spider-Man wears his black-and-white Future Foundation stealth suit for Fantastic Four missions.
Note: Appearing in multiple languages, Hasbro’s small parts warning implies that this figure may have been previously released overseas, as early as 2019.
REVIEW:
Visually, this figure’s paint job and production quality delivers what its package hypes. Closer examination confirms that this Spider-Man is really a display figure only, as playtime is hardly practical here.
Mobility-wise, aside from its movable arms and legs, the head easily turns, in terms of a full sense of peripheral vision. However, though not of shoddy construction, the elbow, waist, and knee joints are quite stiff. The ankle joints sufficiently move to allow a standing display pose without assistance from a stand.
Overall, this “Future Foundation Stealth Suit Spider-Man” is a classy Hasbro product. As it doesn’t reveal the actual figure, the sole caveat is how Hasbro’s package design pushes the consumer into taking a leap of faith. Specifically, prior to purchase, one can’t preview possible flaws (i.e. its paint job) that this boxed figure may have.
ADDITIONAL CONTENT:
The additional props are two white spider-lines, along with two alternate hands. Though the figure has foot peg holes, a display stand isn’t included.
PACKAGING:
Without a clear plastic window, one is left to assume that the figure’s imagery is accurate. In this instance, the backside portrait specifies all the contents. As to the interior packaging, the figure is well-protected by extra cardboard and a thin sheet of white packaging wrap.
BRIAN’S ODD MOON RATING: 8½ Stars
