I know some folks hate this Mattel DCUC (DC Universe Classics) style of hips, but I liked it on those figures and I still do now. I think it looks fine and allows Spidey to achieve very deep crouching poses while remaining stable. The biggest thing that this figure has going for it is that it plain looks amazing. The proportions and sculpting on this figure are just beautiful—I really like looking at this figure (whereas the Marvel Legends Web Wings Spider-Man is tons of fun to pose, but not so much a looker). The intricate, rubber-like texture on the costume looks phenomenal. I’m not head-over-heels in love with the lining on the costume, but it’s a shame that the lines were never added to the figure to make it fully accurate. I know several collectors who are going to try to paint/draw on the lines themselves, but I’m just going to live without myself. Between Sony and the MCU, there are a selection of exciting Marvel movies releasing in 2024. While the MCU is the first thing that comes to mind to most moviegoers when it comes to Marvel, the release of movies like Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse have provided a first-hand look at the idea that other Marvel movies can have phenomenal success, making 2024's release roster all the more hotly anticipated. However, recent Marvel movie configurations have left how many movies actually release in 2024 a little more confusing than it may have previously appeared.

Diamond Select Toys has absolutely nailed the eyes from the movie, as well as the logo and web lines on the costume. I think that the look of this figure matches up well against even the very expensive import figures such as the Mafex And SH Figuarts Spideys. This figure practically looks like a little statue, it’s so good. Even so, I never get like the figure looked quite as good in online photos as it did in person. Now that I’ve got the final figure in front of me, does it hold up to my expectations?Yessssss!), the one that I easily liked the most was the Spider-Man Homecoming Select figure. In fact. I liked it so much that I accidentally brushed my sleeve on it while photographing and exploded the prototype and accessories off the display shelf and onto the floor (sorry, Zach!!). Now for the radioactive Spider-Elephant in the room: articulation. Anyone expecting an SH Figuarts, MAFEX or Marvel Legends level of articulation in this figure is barking up the wrong tree. Diamond Select Toys is limited to 16-ish points of articulation on these Marvel Select figures, and I’m giving the articulation scheme a thumbs-up because I think DST really gets the most out of what they’re able to implement here.

Along with the sizable base, we also get eight interchangeable hands with this figure: crawling hands; punching hands; grasping hands and web-shooting hands. Having all these options hugely increases the number of achievable poses for the figure. Initially conceived as two parts of the same movie, the next two entries in Sony's Academy Award-winning animated Spider-Verse movie franchise were separated, with Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse releasing June 2023 to massive critical and commercial success. Following the second movie, Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse was initially announced to release on March 29, 2024. Next year's Marvel slate currently starts out with a much speculated about Sony movie, as the ambitious Madame Web swings into theaters for a February 14, 2024, release after Sony's Marvel movie release changes moved it forward by two days. The film has assembled quite an entertaining cast, with the female-led Marvel adventure featuring an all-star ensemble. Madame Web's cast includes Dakota Johnson, Sydney Sweeney, Emma Roberts, Isabela Merced, and Adam Scott. No roles have been specified at this time, although rumors point to different versions of Madame Web from the comics being in play. And what statue would be complete without a base, right? Spidey comes with a decent-sized rooftop base that I think adds a lot to the overall display for the toy.
