TOY REVIEW: Armored Spider-man


Another great addition to the growing Spider-verse figures in this scale, Armored Spider-man!

        I'm not sure though on whether which version this one was based off. But I believe this one was from the alternate universe where Peter Parker was a billionaire similar to a Tony Stark persona. Have no idea with the said story arc, however I vividly recognize this version during the 90's when I was a kid. I remember seeing an action figure of this one back then.

Overall Grade

        This figure is full of nostalgia, that I believe it is one of it's selling point. Nothing exquisite with the figure itself. It's unfortunate that for such an agile character, we can't get a fully articulated figure of him. It's a nice addition if you have a Spider-man collection or just for nostalgia. But figure wise, it's kind of a "meh" to me.
