For those of you fortunate enough to own a Popy Spiderman,

1) What is his actual size? 8.5"?, 9.0"?, 9.5"? or 10"? Have heard all of the mentioned but must be just one size...:wink:

2) Is his head soft, rubbery, squeeze? Hollow vinyl? Hard solid plastic? Measurements (in inch) A) Top of head to chin, B) Ear to ear, C) Nose to back of head?

Any picture of him standing next to an 8" figure?

Please help a brother here. Let the Mego/Popy experts speak... (And you all know who you are)

Thanks in advance!

My popy Spidey is 9 1/2 inches tall in the box. Which is still sealed, so I can't really help you with your part 2 question(s).

Thank you Bryan!... That is what I love from this forum... Pure brotherhood. Plus our very own Bryan/Larry is a living encyclopedia... If you don't get your answers here is because there are none.

Bryan, that Popy Spidey is a thing of a beauty... And that comparison picture should somehow make it to the Mego Museum Gallery AND the MegoLike websites. Listen up Mods! From that picture you can conclude that the Popy Spidey is easily 10 to 10.5 inch tall (if a Mego spidey is 7.5 in tall).

Thank you Samurainoir and Rche as well. You guys rock!

Just measured mine, he is almost exactly 9 3/4" tall. Here's an old pic I took that gives you an idea of his size compared to other Spidey figures.

Happy to help! It's a blast to set up these comparison photos. I think that's what I'm most addicted to in my continued foreign hunts. . . .the chance to do cross-sections.

Chris, your Spiderman Family is beautiful!!!! And they all get along so well!

Actually, they got together just for the pic, they are normally separated in various parts of my collection. :smiley1: And I agree, it's fun doing comparison pics of different versions.

Your Ledy Spidey looks positively minty Bryan, very nice!
