TOY REVIEW: Spider-UK


Of course another year won't pass without another Spider-Man figure, and here we got Spider-UK!

First Impression:

        With the number of Spider-Man versions constantly increasing, I'm finding it hard to keep myself updated on who's who. Apparently, this version is supposed to be William Braddock. Here's a description from the net.
"Former Captain Britain Corps member, originated from Earth-833. After the Captain Britain Corps was seemingly lost and his universe wiped out by an incursion Spider-UK created the multiverse traveling group known as the Web Warriors and is its leader."
         At first glance of this figure during the preview, I wasn't really thrilled since it's obvious that it's just a repaint of the awful Big Time Spider-Man figure. But I'm sure Spidey fans would welcome him anyway.


Here's the rest of the assortment for 2017 Mavel Legends Series Wave 1



Where did I acquire it?: Kramer Toy Warden
How much?: SRP of Php 750 each
Condition during acquisition: MOC

Packaging:


Accessories:

Sculpt:

 

- Nothing worth mentioning. There's no sculpted parts whatsoever. It's just a completely blank body. SMH.

Paint:
+ Decent Spider insignia on his back.
- Sloppy paint application of the white lining. Mine's misaligned.
- Not a fan of the glossy red paint.
- Unpainted shoulder joints.

Articulation:
It uses the same mold as Big Time Spider-Man, meaning from the waist up it lacks articulation for dynamic poses needed for a Spider-Man.

Size Comparison:
MLS Spider-UK, MIS Big Time Spider-Man (modified)

MLS Spider-UK, MU Union Jack

MLS Spider-UK, MU Capt. Britain

MLS Spider-UK, MIS Capt. Rogers

Overall Grade

        This would probably obviously be the weakest link among the bunch. Figurewise there's nothing worth raving about it, not even the paint application. It's probably a good add, if you have a Spidey collection but other than that I suggest you guys wait for this figure on clearance.

Accessories - n/a
Sculpt - 1/5
Paint - 1.5/5
Articulation - 3/5
Value - 2/5
Final Grade - 1.85/5
