    Much better than first reports lol...Wow, I was really scared for this line. Not a perfect set, but not bad at all! I feel like the biggest issue (other than the size of Pete's glasses and visage) is the faded look of the modern emblem. And that repro box should not be that difficult to get out, that's ridiculous. Anyway...I want one now!

      I have a MOC vintage Spidey. This is cool for what it is, but the parker outfit should have more closely matched the SI, IMO.

      An easy pass for me, Spidey isn't a must have character. Wolverine is nice tho.

        Got mine today. I haven't taken everything out of the package yet. My initial thought is that it looks pretty good.

        But, I'm so disappointed on how the retro box is glued in. The retro box was one of the things I was most looking forward to, and now it's ruined. I'm wondering if there might be a way to get a replacement.

          I'm sure it's just that tack glue. Either remove slow or hair dry it. It should roll into a ball on your finger once you remove it. Doc would quality control that, and never let that happen.

            The adhesive is more aggressive than tack glue, and there's so much of it. It looks like double sided tape. I used a hair dryer and a credit card to try to pry the box out of the package, and this is what I got. There's no rolling it into a ball.

            Might be a minor problem, but still disappointing.

              I will add that I do really like the box. And, I especially like the plastic insert that keeps Spidey in place.

                  I like the idea of the plastic insert myself, Spidey looks okay to me, and hope your Mom feels
                  better soon.

                      Those are nice detailed pictures. Glad your mom is OK, too.
                      It's all good!

                        OMG!! That is unacceptable. The only reason I'd want the repro Spidey is to display him in the box, that's horrible!

                          Sweet! Can't wait to pick mine up. Spidey's the one from this series that's a MUST HAVE for me. I dig the 60's animated series vibe of the Parker Head. I think Andy/Crimson Ghost did a fantastic job with the sculpts from what I can see of the pics.

                            Great toy glad to have it. Does anyone think once some of these are out they might release for example a multi pack with just the retros of spidey cap etc? I just can't get myself to spend the $ on doubles and the package is too cool. That and Spidey seems like the easiest of the original bunch to pick up for 15 to 20 bucks etc.

                            That's a shame about the vintage box not being able to be taken out nicely. :-(

                                I pre-ordered mine from Entertain Earth forever ago. I hope they get them in soon.
