Gwen didn’t have a costume, but DST opted to put her in the outfit that most people remember: the one she died in. First they brought her back in the Ultimate universe, and more recently, an alternate, spider-powered version was introduced during the “Spider-Verse” event. Still, its hinged design is somewhat inspired, and I can tell they were trying for something a little better than how the hood was attached for the Legend. Ultimately, I think your opinion on these figures is going to be heavily depended upon what you want from them. The heels on the boots are a little chunky, and I was happy to find that I didn’t have a lot of difficulty getting her to stand.

There are no surprises in the articulation, and since I’m cramming two figures into today, I won’t run down all the points here. Whether you want to know how many figures are in a series or the name of a certain figure or even if you just want to stare awestruck at all the pretty colors, galleries help everyone. Also included are a rolled up copy of the Daily Bugle, which feels more like a J Jonah Jameson bit than a Gwen one, a binder (which is admittedly the one inoffensive piece here), and a Midtown High School yearbook, which long-time Spider-Man scribe Dan Slott pointed out makes no sense for either Gwen or MJ, since neither of them actually went to Midtown High. I think I might have liked her jacket to maybe be a slightly brighter shade, just to give her a little bit more pop, but the application is all pretty clean, and she doesn’t look bad in the slightest. The fists and the web-shooting hands have spots to plug in weblines, making for even more dynamic set-ups.I may have only bought her for the Build-A-Figure piece, but Gwenpool is a fairly strong figure in her own right. Fortunately, regular universe Gwen being all corpsified and gross doesn’t mean Marvel can’t use a Gwen Stacy. Some of the recent Legends Spider-Men have experimented with extra heads with differing “expressions” on the eyes of his mask. I really liked the last one, and with her design being less changed than others, I just wasn’t sure I needed to double-dip on her.

The original Gwen Stacy may have been dead for 45 years, but that hasn’t stopped all sorts of variants of her from popping up. She gets a new head and feet, and uses the right hand from the second Spider-Girl figure, as well as having an add-on piece for her hood. Gwenpool has been starring in a string of self-titled books since, and just recently joined up with the relaunched West Coast Avengers.So, it’s not a shock that he was amongst Revoltech’s first two releases (supplanted only by fan-favorite Deadpool). Can we also, for a moment, bring up that Miles just gets his name on the box, but Gwen gets an up-to-the-minute super hero identity?
