Count me in too, I bought one about a year ago. Great figure, I've wanted one for years, so happy I finally got one.

rche, there was a great deal on one in the Marketplace a few weeks ago. Sorry, if I knew you were looking, I would have given you a heads up. I almost bought it to upgrade mine (one of my little spiders has some broken legs)

Here's an older Spidey group pic I took, including the Popy one. I display him out of the box. It's not like the box was sealed or anything, so I had no problems removing him. If I put him back in, he's still MIB.

(hmmm, I should update my pic, I've bought a MIB 12" skinny body Spidey and a carded "Heroes Accessories" Spidey since this pic was taken)

You need yourself a CA spidey in there cj.
Who is the fellow on the far left? red hero boots and squinky head?

[cjefferys]

I'd LOVE a CA Spidey, wish I could afford one.

The guy on the left is the "Heroes Accessories" Spidey. They came out in the late 80's I think. Cheap, blow molded figures wearing authentic Mego factory left over outfits. Totally unauthorized and probably sold at dollar stores in UK, Canada, and perhaps other places. I also have a Superman, Batman and Robin. There were others too, I think there are a couple threads about them around here somewhere.

ok, I am familiar with the heroes toys. I was thinking that might be it as it looked like a blow body, but I did not recall the headsculpt looking so squashed on those. I wish they had reused the CA spidey boots and belts for that one.

[cjefferys]

Most of them have pretty ugly looking head sculpts. I'm surprised they bothered giving Spidey a belt and boots at all (not to mention a gun?!?). They seem to be molded more or less from the CA Batman belt and CA boots (but yeah, molds from the actual CA Spidey outfit would have been much cooler)

i've always loved that popy headsculpt of spidey!

What is the figure on the far right? Screws in the boots into the legs?

That's the 13" Spidey released in Mexico by Ensueno around 1980. They also made a Superman and Batman (and a smaller Mighty Mouse).
