The Amazing Spider-Men

[PNGwynne]

I had a fly-away version as a kid, & saved the web for my 8" figure-it later came in very handy when I needed to complete my Spider-Car.

I was unaware of the Canadian version; I think I like its leaner body more for Spidey.

Totally agree, the standard 12" body much more suits Spidey than the muscle body does.

I would third that for the skinny spidey. Anyone know if the hands are the same as skinny hands, just in red?

I think that would be an equally effective crime fighting tool.

i will jot that down in my 'great ideas for my future career as an author' notebook.

I got one of these as a kid and it was one of my most played with. I remember it came with a black thread web and i was mesmerized. It also had fly away action which I immediately tied to doorknob. Its one of my greatest mego childhood memories. Luckily my Mom was there to snap a picture of it.

Great picture!

I was looking on the floor for the box/card that he was packaged in...lol

I actually really like the way that body suits all the heroes, it's kind of like a bigger version of the 8" body:

I like the leaner body on Spidey and Robin, but I like the buffer body on Supes and Bats.

The skinny body one was definitely sold in the states. I still have mine from childhood. I got it for Christmas.

Some great sculpts, too--FTC should consider shrinking some of them for variant offerings.

Old big-head Cap was one 12" figure who could have really benefited from a muscle body (a red handed one at that!). And I'm not sure if Jor-El was originally meant to have a muscle body, his suit seems really too tight on him.

Ok, this is cool. I had no idea.
