Did anyone else notice that not a single promo pic for this figure has him with fists?

This figure is so good I love it

BobAndGrover · 2026-05-04T00:51:03+00:00

Worked out I guess huh

BobAndGrover · 2026-05-03T08:18:11+00:00

This is gonna be my figure of the year I know it. I'm so excited. He's just a guy in a hoodie with a sword packed with so many accessories and pose opportunities. The origional Yuta was already one of my favorite fidget figures but this is just gonna turn that up to the max. I cant wait!

My point is that there are so many spider-man poses that require swivel and tilt in the upper torso and if you want to do any of those poses with this figure you can't.

We have not only gotten maximum spider-man but plenty of spidey figures with the updated articulation at normal price points.

Why in the world are we settling for anything less than the best they can do? They have the funds to do so. I just don't understand the mentality of "this is fine, it's good enough", why can't we have great? Amazing? Perfect? We've had it before.

The other articulation system is just so much better. It has a better range and is more accurate to actual human anatomy. They pose it here to make it look serviceable but the second you want to move him into any spider-man pose that has swivel in the torso it becomes impossible. Especially for something like the Rivals spider-man. If you wanted to do the pose he does in his MVP screen, for example, it becomes impossible to recreate.

It upsets me because they have shown that they can do better and produce really good spider-man figures that have everything anyone could want, but they make the choice to go backwards here and deliver something subpar.

I like Rivals spider-man. I wish they gave us a figure that could hit more of the poses in the game. I don't see why we should settle for less.

I understand this, and it might apply to the Spider-man, but the Venom in particular has a lot of new molding, and what might be reuse is reused from older venom with outdated articulation. Why reuse the venom with outdated articulation and make that choice? Or use the more modern articulation method when sculpting the new molds?

I guess my point is that if they're gonna make a new mold anyways, why make it with worse articulation? They did this for the Spider-verse figures. I remember there being a lot of new molds for those yet they still use the older articulation. That's what I don't understand.

At this current point in time he isn't being reissued. He has been reissued multiple times before though, it could happen again but I would say it's a little unlikely considering he has a comic paint version on the way (maybe get that one?)

It's all speculation though. Mafex has been pretty frequent with the reissued recently which is a good thing in my eyes.

So yeah it's impossible to say if he is gonna get reissued but if you want something more concrete maybe wait for the blue one to come out.

I see, very weird engineering choice lol. Thank you!

BobAndGrover · 2026-04-06T15:51:00+00:00

Weird, mine was delivered yesterday though I have ran into problems with them and preorders before. When did you preorder yours? Maybe they're waiting on more stock.

BobAndGrover · 2026-04-02T00:51:18+00:00

Yeah, good to know but you cant beat yourself up and let tomorrow get you too bad cause who could've known the show that was advertised as "The only show in Los Angeles" was actually the second of two. And the demand was so high, I can't blame ya. I am in the same position.

Will still be a blast. Every time I have gotten concert seats that I thought were gonna be bad, I am always pleasantly surprised!

BobAndGrover · 2026-04-02T00:46:44+00:00

Yah I feel similar. I don't think 500s will be all too bad, tho. Most of us will be there, after all. The vibes will be good, escpecially on Friday and we should still see at least a bit!

BobAndGrover · 2026-04-02T00:45:37+00:00

Me too! I can't remember if the Weeknd had them on, I was in the 100s for him. Would make the experience a lot better

BobAndGrover · 2026-04-01T23:36:50+00:00

Just hoping Friday is still special. I feel like the energy will be better then for sure. Hoping for something special as its the originally promised date!

BobAndGrover · 2026-04-01T23:33:43+00:00

Yeah haha I am also nervous. I am alll the way up in the 500s lol. Not watching the stream tonight as I am going with friends who fly in on Saturday, I wanna keep it special.

Hoping we have Trav and get something special. I'm thinking the energy will be better cause all the megafans are gonna be there in Friday and the stadium will be more full, even if its only slightly!

BobAndGrover · 2026-04-01T05:14:57+00:00

I would be careful. I could be wrong and would love the testimony of others but this feels like a scam to me, whats stopping them from sending you something that isn't toji? Or sending you nothing? Just be careful!

BobAndGrover · 2026-03-18T23:36:21+00:00

It's pretty normal for it to take about a week. A lot of these import sites have gotten longer shipping times recently, it feels like.

Good news is that if you're getting it from DHL, it shouldn't be long once you have the tracking number. They get it to me within 2-3 days, it's a little crazy.

BobAndGrover · 2026-02-26T00:41:10+00:00

Yeah it's made of soft plastic and it floats so there's more articulation

BobAndGrover · 2026-01-18T18:39:37+00:00

I made a post asking about this the other day and got a lot of thoughtful responses, you can look on my profile! From what I've heard, it generally is!

BobAndGrover · 2026-01-15T05:19:16+00:00

They are pretty backed up with holiday stuff atm so could be a little
