    Diamond announces 8" Marvel figures

    Can’t think of a netter way to start the week than the announcement of this 8″ Spider-Man limited edition collector set that Marvel Comics announced on their website today.   A co-production between Diamond Select and EMCE toys, this set has one foot in the past and one planted firmly in the future. This set…

        I like the idea. You get something new instea dof just a repro, especially since Spidey's (granted not the circle suit) are the most common figure.

                Well this is a great topic for my first post! I'm just getting back into Megos now that we seem to be deluged with so many great replicas and Mego-like products--FTC's Batman line is what drew me back--and now the best Mego of them all, Spider-Man, is going to be available without the need to resort to ebay! Circle Suit Spidey, no less, and I love that Peter Parker head! I'm ordering this set on day one. Congrats to Doc Mego and EMCE toys on finally getting their mitts on some Marvel licenses, and if that wonderful Peter Parker head (which, let's face it, blows the Mego Parker head away--I love that Mego head as Captain Marvel, but Peter Parker he's not) is any indication of what we have to look forward to, this is going to be the best re-Mego line anyone has ever produced.

                I am so stoked for this!

                  I was very excited about this until I saw the price. As cool as this is (and it's really cool), no way I'm paying $80 for it.

                      I have no problem paying $80 for this the moment it's up for pre-order--but that's partly because I'm starting my Mego collection from scratch. I don't have a Spidey, and the problem with eBay is that finding a really minty looking Spidey with perfect paint on the head and no stains or runs in the costume is probably an $80 investment anyway. But this set also has that amazing Peter Parker head and outfit, and also a more modern Spidey head and outfit too (with webbing under the arms!), so really it's almost like three figures in one for me.

                      I hope future sets give me the chance to add Goblin and Lizard to my collection as well.

                            $80 is a lot of money for me, but I have no problem paying that much for this, I think this is one of the coolest things I've seen in a while.

                              I still can't get over that Peter Parker head. I wish we could see a picture of it without the glasses. To me it looks like a perfect John Romita version of Peter Parker.
