Hot Toys Movie Promo Spider-Man Reissue 1/6 Figure!

Given the mania and wild aftermarket prices surrounding the sold-out Hot Toys Spider-Man Homecoming sixth scale figures in the aftermath of Avengers Endgame, Hot Toys would have seemed crazy business-wise to not double-dip in the red-and-blue Spidey MMS well. And to little surprise, that’s just what they’re doing: a reissue of the Hot Toys Spider-Man movie figure as a Far From Home Movie Promo is now up for order! It’s a limited exclusive, so if you missed out the first time around, be ready to strike!

Hot Toys Spider-Man Far From Home Movie Promo Figure Swinging - Copy

I was a little stunned when I happened to see the Spider-Man Homecoming Hot Toys MMS figure selling for $500+ on eBay last month, but as soon as I did, I just knew Hot Toys was going to have a response to the mighty untapped demand for that figure.

And lo and behold, their very first Far From Home Movie Masterpiece Series sixth scale figure will in fact be a limited release, exclusive reissue of their first traditional MCU Spider-Man figure!

Hot Toys Movie Promo Spider-Man Sixth Scale Figure - CopyFor those who already bought the original Homecoming Spider-Man MMS and don’t feel like they need a duplicate of the same exact figure, move along: there’s nothing to see here. With the exception of the figure stand, there’s nothing—and I mean nothing—new about this 1/6 Spidey or included with him.

I think there’s zero doubt we’ll get a Tom Holland portrait on another Hot Toys Spider-Man Far From Home figure, but it’s still pretty shocking to not get one here.

The “Movie Promo” label on this figure means that it won’t be available from your favorite comic book shop or online toy retailer—this will be a limited exclusive in North America to Sideshow Collectibles, and very likely will sell out fast (as the popular Movie Promos traditionally have).

Everything but the stand for this figure already exists on the production line, so I don’t see any reason this would get pushed back. From a purely business standpoint, this is a smart cash-grab for Hot Toys.

How do you feel about this sort of “Slim” Spider-Man reissue release, Marvel collectors? Do you feel like Hot Toys is double-dipping a bit too frivolously, or is this a fair and square, warranted re-release? Anyone pass on the original Homecoming Spidey and looking forward to snatching this one now for a non-crazy price?
