    Might be a minor problem, but still disappointing.
    OMG!! That is unacceptable. The only reason I'd want the repro Spidey is to display him in the box, that's horrible!

    Those are nice detailed pictures. Glad your mom is OK, too.

    I'm still a little disappointed with the Parker head & his spectacles, but I'm grateful for these detail pix and feel more confident about the line. Bring on Cap!

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

    No problem. I just thought your Moms health was more important than toys. Hope she has a speedy recovery!!

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

    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 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.

    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!

    Peter Parker should have brown eyes like in the comics. Blue is just wrong.

    I had to say that both Spidey's look really great! Honestly, I love the "new" Spidey. It reminds me of the Spiderman I loved when I was a little boy.
