It’s actually stated in very early comics from the Lee and Ditko run that Spidey’s lenses are a mirror like reflective surface. And, while I do prefer him having white eyes, it’s really cool to see the reflective eyes become a little more well known.

The chrome eyes are from the mini series Marvels, written by Kurt Busiek and painted by Alex Ross, in fact Ross art for Marvel always looks like chrome, like his Bucky Captain America

Alex Ross is what first comes to mind for chrome spidey lenses, wouldn’t be surprised if his art inspired the Raimi suit having super reflective lenses in posters and key moments especially since he made some concepts for them. It does look a little weird in figure form but in drawings and dedicated photos it can be used really creatively having things reflecting on them!

THAT BOX ART IS BEAUTIFUL

The chrome lenses come from Alex Ross and a panel that explains how Peter, despite how artists drew and continued to draw him, is actually using peices of one way glass for his lenses

I got the classic suit ps4 Spidey a while ago because I figured that that was going to be the best one for a while for a classic comic book look suit. After seeing your review, I feel justified in that decision. It’s not a bad figure but just inferior imo. It looks cheaper than it should. It looks off in some way. And that side by side comparison really nailed home how superior the classic suit is imo. This just doesn’t look like a hot toys level figure to me.

Your posing makes the figures look so much better. That first one was chef’s kiss.

Been waiting for this one! The squinted eyes and the black sections not shrinking are similar to what other Spider-man artists do at the time (Mark Bagley, Humberto Ramos) personally not a fan as they should have gone for that John Romita Sr. look when it came to the eyes, overall still a solid figure and a great review as always

tbh i think the "squinty" eyes work bc they are similar to art by people like humberto ramos, especially with the more angled front spider logo. yes, ramos didn't make the black of the eyes THAT big, but the black to white ratio is similar enough to look like his art or a style like his

I love the colors on this suit. I thought the classic suit was perfect but it almost looks color faded next to this one. But super happy we are finally getting comic inspired figures, hopefully we have some villains coming soon.

This is incredible! I'm probably not gonna pick this one up and continue using the classic suit as a comic book figure (I personally prefer the smaller eyes and lighter blue from the silver age). Now if they release a John Romita Sr era inspired Spidey then we can talk! Hope they release more comic inspired figures, especially Batman and the Fantastic Four!

Another greatly comprehensive review Justin. I watched it early this morning and it reinforced my want of it. Fortunately I scored one with SS today and I can't wait to put it with the comic Iron Man.

I got mine in Tuesday. I just couldn't resist it's a limited vintage Spider-Man concept. I think that HotToys could've given us a few more eye piece options as well as wired fabric wings . Overall he is a fantastic piece to add to the collection!

I ADORE the chrome eyes they’re so cool

The McFarlanesque eyes are absolutely dope

This is the figure I’ve been waiting for

Thanks for the video. This should have been a Hono release for $160 USD like the upcoming Wolverine. I understand the high price point for the limited edition but I do think for that money, Hot Toys should have included an alternate head with smaller eyes (like the box art), as well as a Peter Parker head. While this looks nice, I’ll probably stick with my Classic Videogame Spidey for now with the hope that Hono releases an all spandex comic Spidey down the line. I do like that No Way Home finally suit for a Classic look as well. Decisions, decisions 😀

Like the box art that’s awesome making it look like a comic cover

Looks really cool and unique. Im excited for these comic book looking figures.

i love the chrome eyes.

This could have been such a perfect figure if they chose to include the classic Romita Sr lenses. Those big lenses aren’t my favorites and don’t match the rest of the body, which is classic. They chose to go with the Bagley lenses (it’s not even the McFarlane ones) and as a huge Spider-Man fan they’re not my favorites. Everything else is pretty amazing.

The chrome eyes are so unique and unusual but I absolutely love them. I bet it’s going to make this figure extremely sought after in a few years, I put money on it…

I thought I was getting a review on the retro 90's spider-man game figure because how bad my quality was etheir way he still looked fire

I’ve never really been much of a fan of a lot of the “classic” 1/6 Spider-Man figures, but this is just beautiful to me, it just looks perfect, the colours, the style of the suit, the shapes and sizes of the emblems and lenses. It’s a really cool figure

What an awesome figure Justin. The chrome lenses reminds me of the Nicholas Hammond Spider-Man mask eye lenses. Great figure all around even the packaging is gorgeous. I absolutely Love it. Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts on this amazing figure and have a great day.

I think the chrome eyes look great!

It looks so cool, I have to get it! I didn’t realize this figure was already released but I’m glad it is! Great review!

By the time I can afford this in a little over a month, no way there's any left, but man I LOVE this figure

amazing figure, just bought this a few days ago , probably my favorite spidey in my collection. Great review btw.

Love those Humberto Ramos eyes

The buildings design reminds me A TON of the broadway show “Spider-Man: Turn off the Dark from around 2010. It’s crazy.

Justin, glad to see you back on the review horse. The embedded web hand is a very nice touch. We might get 10 more Spiderman related figures in the next 12 months, so if you miss out on this one, there will always be another figure.

Wow. It really looks like it was from a comic book. And I love spider man having huge eyes. That’s why I like tasm 2’s too. People hate tasm 1’s suit for no reason. I loved it when I was a kid.

I’ve been waiting for this review

Love this channel and this figure review, Great video as always keep it up!

I love everything about this figure from the color choice to its proportions, the only thing that bothers me is the rubbery suit. It always aggravates me when these expensive companies decide to use clothes materials that can’t stand up to posing, personally I don’t want to buy an articulated figure to use as a statue. At least a statue will be in a dynamic pose permanently.

Brilliant figures

The chrome eyes are a reference to alex ross, who drew spidey with very reflective eyes that looked chrome

I like the seams it makes it look more homemade

Thx HT for bringing us back to old day

the chrome eyes (two way mirror) are how his lenses are described as in the comics although they look white most of the times, Alex Ross really helped popularizing that look

Awesome review! What a nice looking figure. The material look kind of fragile though - I'd be tempted to wear static free gloves when handling.

Looks cool classic suit love it ❤❤

This figure is really cool, and the box art is really cool

I really like it, it looks unique and pretty cool

It’s a missed opportunity. They should have modeled this figure after Alex Ross’ art. His spidey fits hot toys perfectly. Basically, a realistic John Romita Sr with you guessed it, chrome eyes.

Great review! The lenses don't really speak to me but the colors on the suit and the body proportions are spot on

Nice review Justin!

Great review!

One chrome eye works for a tas2 kind of shot ( the one when Gwen is falling to her death and her reflection shows in the lenses ) .

It's beautiful

this is the best thing i have ever seen

The most beautiful spiderman I've ever seen.

0:18 the box is firee love your video keet it up 🔥🔥

I like it...I do agree about the eyes though. I would just keep him with the wide, white-ish ones anyway...and the camera.

The chrome eyes was a Lee and Ditko idea. The original mask had 2-way lenses but it was drawn as white because it's ridiculous to ask people to draw accurate reflections on a curved surface over and over

Spider-Man's eyes are canonically chrome in the comics. His lenses are made of one-way glass, its just a lot easier to leave them white so the books come out on time. Alex Ross usually paints spidey with mirror lenses.

this figure looks awesome! I gotta say, this Spidey suit is what I imagine him if Spider-Man was in the Sony-Verse.

The head is the worst part and I just can’t look past the awkward weblines and cuts when we’ve seen them do a better job on the ps4 comic Spidey. That one just looks better in every category for me.

Love it so good

I think i recall multiple comic covers by different artists where his eyes are super reflective. Mostly in ultimate spiderman covers

love that the joints are hidden i always find them ugly and spoil the illusion i think what would make this better is a muscle suit underneath the fabric as he looks a little scrawny and tighter spandex material that does not fold up so much

21:10 While the comic book Spiderman fig here looks classic as it should be- I dont like how it's a mix of every art style of Spidey being drawn by separate artists, would've preferred if they just go straight to Steve Ditko style. So for this comparison, I prefer the Insomniac's take on the classic suit

I think it is amazing like spider himself. they did what they could to make it as affordable as possible.it is a lot of work to construct a figure as well. .

Wish we got to see some acrobatic spidey poses from this figure. Looks awesome.

Did I miss something???? I didn’t even know this dropped, Justin with the surprises as usual.

Best spiderman figure

I think they were going for the Spiderverse reflective lenses effect with the chrome but it just does not hit the same without the exaggerated chromatic aberration that Miles have.

I seem to be one of the few who LOVE this. I always loved the massive eyes, I love the visible seams, body looks great, chrome eyes, it’s amazing. Even as a kid, I hated how they always made the suit look perfect with no seams or wrinkles, this is how I imagine a real life suit, seams and wrinkles gives that realistic feel and how I always envisioned the comic style in real life.

Alex Ross style chrome and a photo were you see Green Goblin charging towards him in his eyes' reflection is the goal

Almost disappointed I got the classic one not too long ago. Not sure which one I like better, but I definitely can't justify both. Last thing that should have been limited though for how popular this would be. Thanks for showing him!

Finally actually decided to buy my first hot toy, and it’s this one

Dude that background thing is so cool it looks like a persona 5 background

amazing figure , great review as always👍🏻 , still waiting on the wb100 batman review, hope u do it soon.

Gorgeous figure.

It's an awesome figure it's a must have piece. Reminds me of the 1977 Amazing Spiderman movie. Excellent review brilliant figure. Keep up the good work!

The seem lines make it look like a suit Peter would make.

Didn’t know that this figure is gonna come out

It reminds me of a third party offering where they tried hard, but fell short in lots of differing places.

I’m still waiting for my Spider-Man 2 Peter and Miles from Pop Collectables. They don’t do DHL shipping but we only have DHL. I hope to get them before Christmas.

This Figure Looks so amazing and Awesomeness 👍

I Love Action Figures Based on Comics and Cartoons as well. Alex Ross done a Great Job making Comic Art "Spider-man." Especially Hot Toys. They nailed it and made it Comic Accurate too. So Cool! It also came with many Accessories, an Awesome Diorama Background, and Stand too. You Definitely can't Beat that! Very Entertaining and Informative as always. ❤ the Video. Thanks Justin for Sharing! 🤩🤩👍👍

Personally, I’m not to worried about the creases. If a 15 year old were to make a Spider-Man suit with minimal resources there would be tons of creases

You should get the DDZ Spider-Man headsculpt and then compare them. I’m curious how they would compare after.

26:56 Hell yeah. I got that Supaidaman reference

the squinty eyes remind me of early humberto ramos artwork, where he looks like he's squinting but the black areas of the eyes are big. Not sure if its intentional though

Chrome eye are the made for tv movie spider-man as well as the exposed web shooters

Crazy how you got it so soon after it was announced.

I’m a bit of a classic suit purist, so I think this is my favorite looking spidey fig, if not the insomniac version of the classic suit. I’m not a collector though.

The lenses look like Bagley 90s Spider-Man.

I’m loving these comic book figures from hot toys, really hoping they do some DC figures as well one day

hey man hope you get a chance to read this but with that arm articulation would it be possible to get him into a two hand swing pose?

Oh man I want that

The chrome eyes look vaguely creepy to me despite the inspiration. The colors really pop but I think I’ll stick with my classic suit Spidey. Thanks for the look see!

I woukd just like too say that your reviews are fantastic i haven't gotten any hot toys yet but i think ill get one in a while there just a little expensive

i really wanted hot toys to make a spider-man action figure in his more classical suit, the ps4 classic suit and the spider-verse peter b parker were a thing but i wanted something more comic book accurate, this is action figure is perfect for me

I personally kinda how it looks like a guy in a costume rather than someone who’s been vacuumed sealed in it. It feels like this is what a real life Peter Parker could make their costume look like. And like you said those proportions are realistic too.

Ultimate spiderman

I'd totally get one if it had proper Romita/Ditko eyes

So happy i was able to grab him and Classic Orgins Ironman 🎉
