Today was a big day for me, I got to see the finished version of the TYPE 3 Spiderman figure done by John Farley, John lives about 30 minutes away from our toy store & about a month ago he brought in some of his figures to show me & my brother of all the figures John showed me I was most impressed by his Spiderman figure.
However I have to be honest I have always felt that Johns versions of the Marvel characters he has produced are very personal to him & he picks versions of the character that he likes as any good artist would & he makes his figure with a more muscular look than I prefer. I want to be very clear here I am in no way saying the figures are not done well everyone of the figures I have seen done by John features top notch workmanship & Johns sewing is among the best work being done on any custom today, but everyone has his own taste & I tend to like my figures a little more slimmer as thats how I remember my Megos there is no right or wrong but I know what I like & when I looked at Johns Romita version of Spiderman I knew that if I could convince him to switch to a slimmer version of his type 3 body the figure would be AMAZING.
My brother & I talked to John for about an hour in the store & he said he could do a more Ditko looking figure, we wanted the figure to have one web shooting hand & as posted in one of the other posts the eyes would have to be different as Ditkos version had a very spicific look, my brother also mentioned the webs under the arm & a spider tracer as options & I am convinced John will find away to get this done on any future figures. Anyway the figure I was able to see today left no doubt that John nailed it, I expected the 1st rate quality & workmanship but the figure is beyond that it has that unexplained feel that only happens when you see an artist has reached a new level, the type 2.5 body is wicked & the slim legs are a huge step forward in my opinion. ( I mean this in the very best way Johns posted pics of this figure do not do this figure justice) I have owned 37 Flatts & if I still had them this version of Spiderman would make the grade & stand on the same shelf ( I have never said this about any other figure) It is in my opinion the best work John has ever done & I am convinced if he continues to take input & risks & challenge himself the best is yet to come.
THIS FIGURE ROCKS!

Oh. My. God. Son---you have gone and created the NEW Holy Grail of MEGOesque SPIDER-MAN figures. That is so dead-perfect,you ought to consider sending one to Stan the Man and Steve Ditko. I bet they would both love seeing their character so well-realized.
If, by chance, you ever decide to mass produce these (of even not mass-produce them) please let us know 'cause I'll be one of the first ones sending you money for it!!!
Dude----you and this Spider-Man----ROCK!!!!

I hadn't read any of the text that accompanied these pics, but I thought I was seeing things different. I guess you did alter your body a bit. I thought it was just me. Absolutely flawless. I don't like Ditko and I don't much like Spider-Man. I, however, love this figure. I can only think of three more words appropriate for this unveiling.
"Eat it, Ahmed."I almost had a psychic girlfriend but she dumped me before we met.
If anyone here believes in psychokinesis, please raise my hand.Comment
