Ultimate Spider-Man Web Warriors Figures Released!

All good things must come to an end, and the popular Ultimate Spider-Man cartoon series is arriving at its end. But in its final season, Ultimate Spider-Man is giving us a similar theme to Dan Slott’s masterpiece comic story-arc, Spider-Verse: Web Warriors! Multiple Spider-Men in the same place at the same time is like Hasbro’s dream, and as such, they’ve now released their latest series of Marvel action figures, including three iterations of Spider-Man… and a new Agent Venom!

Though there hasn’t been much to hunt for at Toys R Us since the holidays (and as such, I’ve been making fewer toy runs there than I normally do), I heard that new Hasbro Ultimate Spider-Man action figures were arriving in stores, so I decided to head out this weekend to see them for myself.

I wasn’t convinced that the new figures would have reached my New England area yet at all, but luckily, I came across a full peg at the store (the only peg allocated to these Web Warriors Ultimate Spider-Man figures), and got to see all of the figures in the assortment at once.

Hasbro Web Warriors Ultimate Spider-Man Figure 5" 2015The Hasbro Ultimate Spider-Man Web Warriors series consists of four figures: a classic red-and-blue Spider-Man, Ultimate Spider-Man Miles Morales, Iron Spider Spider-Man and Agent Venom.

The figures are larger than the 4″ scale of Marvel Universe/Marvel Infinite Series, but also smaller than the Hasbro Marvel Legends 6″ figures, so they’re not really compatible with either line.

Ultimate Spider-Man Web Warriors Agent Venom Figure

The Agent Venom Web Warriors figure here is obviously the “big surprise” in this wave, as the Ultimate Spider-Man action figure lines tend to be dominated by figures of Spidey himself. Even more shocking is that this value-priced, low-articulation $6.99 Agent Venom figure has much cleaner and better paint apps than the $20 Marvel Legends Agent Venom did!

With a unique mold and some nice animated-style sculpting details, I like this Ultimate Spider-Man Agent Venom figure quite a bit (especially for 7 bucks).

Hasbro 2015 Ultimate Spider-Man Agent Venom Action Figure PackagedI didn’t see the case put out for this series and I can’t find a case assortment listing for this set anywhere online, but the quantities at my local Toys R Us were:

(2) Web Warriors Agent Venom Figure
(2) Web Warriors Iron Spider Figure
(1) Web Warriors Ultimate Spider-Man Figure

Ultimate Spider-Man Web Warriors Figure Miles MoralesOrdinarily I’d expect to see Agent Venom as the shortpacked figure, so I’m guessing that this was only a partial case–shortpacking the Miles Morales figure would be a real bummer. Regardless, I can’t imagine it will be too difficult to find any of these figures at retail, as they’re far more kid-oriented than Marvel Legends and Marvel Infinite Series.

What do you think of the 2015 Ultimate Spider-Man Web Warriors figures, Marvel collectors? Are these unique-molded animated-style figures for you, or will you be passing on these 5POA Spider-Man action figures?

  1. The only time Dan Slott and Masterpiece should only be in the same sentence is when the words “can’t write a” are between them.
