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.

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!

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

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

THAT BOX ART IS BEAUTIFUL

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.

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.

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

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!

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

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’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

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.

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

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 😀

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.

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.

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

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.

The McFarlanesque eyes are absolutely dope

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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…

It’s kinda weird that the box has the amazing fantasy 15 pose despite this figure looking more like the ultimate spider man that was drawn by mark bagley. Doesn’t really matter though, this figure is still peak 👌😮‍💨

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.

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.

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.

The eye indents make him look more like Deadpool than Spidey. Glad it’s far from perfect. I can save my money if they ever drop Spectacular from Across the Spider-Verse

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

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

This looks so damn good. Hot toys needs to stop with these limited releases. We want this.

I wish I was one of these commenters saying they couldn’t justify the price. I hate that I’d pay double that for this guy 😂 he’s exactly what I’ve been wanting to see in a Spider-Man figure.

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

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

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 ) .

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

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

If you used 1 wide eye and one squinted eye on spiderman you can get this confused look out of him; which although unintentional would show far more emotion than what they intended to use. But that's just me, I like to think that Peter Parker is talking to himself in mid pose about something and trying to make sense of it, like he does in the 90's cartoon.

The most beautiful spiderman I've ever seen.

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 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. .

14:48 That's the look of a grumpy wet cat.

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

Didn’t know that this figure is gonna come out

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

This is the figure I’ve been waiting for

Little do people know but in the comics his eye’s lenses are completely chromed out to deflect sunlight from blinding him when he web swings but artists later misunderstood that and thought they were white lenses

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!

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?

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

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 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! 🤩🤩👍👍

If they ever do decide to do a hot toys comic Green Goblin to go with this figure, it would be a perfect opportunity to keep the classic design, yet mordernise it. Again, like this figure. It'd be a perfect combo for my collection :)

Canonically, yes he does have mirror reflective lenses in the comics, but given the restrictions of early comics they were just drawn as white. However, that doesn't change how I feel about them :/

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

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

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

In MY opinion (which means all of nothing, realistically) this looks like a Hot Toy of a Spider-Man cosplayer, or the actor who plays the Universal Theme-park Spider-Man, rather than being the real McCoy. There's just something about it that screams "I am not real"

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 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’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.

The chrome eyes are probably a reference to how spideys eyes in the comics were confirmed to be one way mirrors

what a missed opportunity. Wrong colors, really strange eyes, the classic version from the video game is still the best version if you want a Spidey that resembles the comics.

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

I ADORE the chrome eyes they’re so cool

I could hear Christopher Daniel Barnes' voice from this Spider-Man in a way. Even though he wasn't the VA who was in the Capcom crossover games (Marvel Super Heroes, Marvel vs Street Fighter, and Marvel vs Capcom 1 & 2)

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

Hey Justin, I'm really interested to see your thoughts and opinions on the new BvS Batman, will a figure preview be coming up?

The maximum squinted eyes make him look like the Humberto Ramos spiderman.

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

That Spider-Man looks like the Spider-Man game Spider-Man ultimate.

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!

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

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!

This is like the 90's spider-man of the comics

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.

Those eyes are definitely giving me Marvel Vs Capcom vibes.

I personally feel like hot toys wanted to capture the Ramos look from comics like spider island with the angular feet and the way the lenses squint.

26:55 “I am the emissary from Hell! SPIDER-MAN!”

Justin do you know if this is the same body as the advanced suit 2.0? I’m wondering if this will look good next to the black suit that just released. Great review man!

I kinda wish they would have just simplified it down. Got rid of the flimsy backdrops and just released this widely as a Hono studio figure.

You know, at first I was digging the chrome eyes in the promo images & since I also like the idea of Spidey having mirrored eyes, I should have liked the chrome eyes here but no, something's off about it and I can't quite put my finger on it.

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

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

3:11 "I am the amazing Spider-man!"

There’s also a new Wolverine figure that’s bad ass looking

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

Love those Humberto Ramos eyes

Justin, do you feel like the clamp on the dynamic flight pole might be safe around the fabric “belt” red part of the waist without doing damage? Thanks for another great review and I’ve got this one on the way!

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

I just love Big lenses on spidey

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