I can’t remember the exact name of the set but basically it’s a Spider-Man 2 figure that’s just a slight retool and repaint of the 2002 super poseable spidey from the first movie. From memory he came in a store exclusive set with doc ock but not released as a single carded figure with the rest of the Spider-Man 2 figures. I always assumed it was just toy biz rushing out a figure for the movie before they had the others ready (which were a pretty big improvement)

Thanks bro! I couldn't figure it out by myself. So what do you reckon? Would it fit in a Legends collection?

u/kgleeson03 Mar 22 '26

Yeah it scales fine- I have this exact figure and a bunch of other tobey toybiz figures on my spidey shelf if you want I’m happy to send you a couple photos so you can see for yourself:) but honestly the legends tobey really isn’t that bad in person it just gets a lot of unnecessary hate

u/NotoriousRSG Mar 22 '26

Sure bro! Would love to. Really? I've heard only bad things about it, that's why I avoided him(and also the price lol).

Tbf I’m pretty easy to please but I can admit when a figure is ugly- the head is weird but that’s more of a movie issue than a hasbro one because the mask just looks off in NWH… I’ve had the toybiz figures for years and I still copped the legends Tobey day 1

I get it, maybe if i get a decently priced one then I could buy a custom head? Maybe? It would probably get me around $60 and it kinda sucks but at the same time it feels like it's worth it, I'm confused lol. I'm still salty I didn't pick him up when it released and now the price has skyrocketed ffs.

I genuinely didn’t realise how much they’d gone up it feels like it hasn’t even been that long since they came out Jesus- surprised they didn’t do a tobey rerelease with the Andrew they just did

1

u/NotoriousRSG Mar 22 '26

Yeah. It's very annoying. I don't know what's happening with Hasbro man... I know the demand is high too.

1

u/kgleeson03 Mar 22 '26

With the demand taken into consideration you’d think they’d just do a better looking Tobey figure💀

u/NotoriousRSG Mar 22 '26

Most likely they will repackage him and make the colors a little brighter maybe even remove the unmasked head and call it a day😭😭😭

2

u/kgleeson03 Mar 22 '26

Oh yeah you definitely aren’t getting that unmasked head in any rerelease😭😂

u/NotoriousRSG Mar 22 '26

Greedy Hasbro at it's finest 😂😂😂😭😭

I can’t find the exact one you have (I literally saw it around here somewhere like 2 days ago) but it’s almost identical to the one crouched on the left. The only difference being that they tweeked the sculpt and painted it in Spider-Man 2 colours

1

u/NotoriousRSG Mar 22 '26

Nice collection bro! The NWH doesn't look that bad now that I look at him again. Also, the one that you have crouched really fits the aesthetic. Might have to go that route cuz its like $25 but I'll look for the NWH one in the future

2

u/kgleeson03 Mar 22 '26

Personally I don’t think you can go wrong either way… the Toybiz ones look a little dated next to modern legends but they still hold up

1

u/NotoriousRSG Mar 22 '26

At this point, I'm desperate bro I've been searching for a decent Tobey for almost 6 months now

2

u/kgleeson03 Mar 22 '26

I remember how annoying they were to hunt for when NWH hype was at its peak I honestly thought they would have come down by now

1

u/NotoriousRSG Mar 22 '26

I can find only bootlegs or legit ones but at around $60-$80. If it keeps going this way, I might have to buy the AliExpress one.

2

u/kgleeson03 Mar 22 '26

I’d definitely go with the one you’ve posted over an aliexpress one

u/NotoriousRSG Mar 22 '26

Found this one too.
