Frankly, I've never been that huge a fan of Toy Biz figures. I don't know why, I'm just not very big on comic book character action figures in general. And I don't know anyone who would argue against that. Anyone who's seen the latest batch of Spider-Man figures on the shelves knows the tragic state of affairs you friendly neighborhood webslinger is in. This crap is even worse than the horrors that they put Batman through over at Hasbro.
Someone needs to be shot.
Better yet, give who ever came up with these Spider-Man Classics a promotion to head up the whole damn company. I don't care how abysmal a company is, anyone who can pull such a spectacular 180 on a toy line has my immediate and utmost attention. A lot of Spider-Man toys out there have him sculpted to make him look like a muscle bound linebacker, which is hardly what our lean and lithe superhero is supposed to look like. Nope, this time around he's a dead ringer for his comic book counterpart. It had somewhere in the neighborhood of 18 points of articulation near as I can recall.
