Hot Toys Amazing Spider-Man 2 1/6 Figure Photos & Order Info

With the plethora of Captain America: The Winter Soldier Hot Toys figures that have gone up for order over the past month, you’d be totally forgiven if you forgot Amazing Spider-Man 2 Hot Toys figures would be on the way as well (I sure did). But we’re just over two weeks away from the Amazing Spider-Man 2 movie release date of May 2, 2014, and Hot Toys has deigned that it’s time to get things started! There could be no doubt who the first figure released for the movie would be–the Hot Toys Amazing Spider-Man 2 Spidey is now up for order!

At this point I should be used to Hot Toys debuting figures for upcoming movies two to three weeks before they hit theaters, but this Amazing Spider-Man 2 Hot Toys Spider-Man figure really snuck up on me! (My wallet could sure use a Spider-Sense.)

We’ve known since last summer that Hot Toys held the license to make 1/6 Amazing Spider-Man 2 figures (no surprise), but we’ve known bupkis about their plans until today. As expected by, well…everyone, the first figure from the movie to get the Hot Toys treatment is the new MMS244 Spider-Man sixth scale figure. (Will Hot Toys make any villains? We’ll see.)

Hot Toys Amazing Spider-Man 2 Accessories and Display BaseSpider-Man will be coming with a good assortment of accessories this time out, including a special display stand for extreme poses, four web lines (for web swinging and web shooting), some extra clothes (more on this in a second), a backpack, a megaphone and a ton of extra hands.

I’m guessing this has to do with not damaging the Spider-Mam costume somehow (that, or Hot Toys is just plain being cheap).

It’s a funny look, but I can’t see myself ever dressing Spidey up like this, personally.

Considering the version from the first film suffered delay after delay after delay for well over a year, it’s miraculous that Hot Toys thinks they can get this Spidey out so quickly. (Let’s see if they actually stick to schedule, though, before we celebrate.)

Amazing Spider-Man 2 Spider-Man Hot Toys Movie Masterpiece Series Figure MMS 224

If I have to be totally blunt and honest, I am not altogether mesmerized by Hot Toys’ efforts on MMS 244. The main thing bumming me out about the figure is that they have designed the Hot Toys Spider-Man 1/6 figure’s costume to be made out of some sort of rubber or vinyl, when the suit is clearly red fabric in the movie.

I’m sure Hot Toys has their reason for that choice of materials, but it seems like a very bizarre choice for a Movie Masterpiece Series figure.

It’s possible Hot Toys just said to screw it after all the delays trying to get the previous Amazing Spider-Man 1/6 figure into stores, but I’m hoping this omission is because they’re planning a full-on Andrew Garfield Hot Toys Peter Parker figure for this movie release.

Presumably Sideshow Collectibles will be offering these items exclusively through their website, but we won’t know for certain until they open orders. And speaking of which…

MMS244 Amazing Spider-Man 2 Hot Toys Figure 2014 Leaping Into BattleThe Amazing Spider-Man 2 Hot Toys Spider-Man MMS244 sixth scale figure is now up for pre-order on the Sideshow Collectibles website. Unless you want the Sideshow exclusive version of MMS 244 (which will likely sell out long before release), you probably don’t need to order this piece quite so early.

What do you think of Hot Toys’ first crack at the Amazing Spider-Man 2 Movie Masterpiece Series figures, Marvel fans? Is this going to be the new “go to” Spider-Man for your Marvel 1/6 figure collection, or has Hot Toys failed to meet your expectations?

  1. Wow, what an amazing figure!!!!
    The rubber/vinyl was a smart choice because it gives him the sleek look by hiding the figures joins better and keeps the illusion of a real persons body underneath, no matter the position he’s posed in.
    I’m also thankful it doesn’t come with Garfields ugly mug. Once again allowing the owner to choose him to be ANY version of Peter underneath.
    Now it’s just up to price point for me.
