On Wednesday, Hasbro revealed a new Marvel Legends 2-pack featuring Spider-Man and Morbius. While both figures have been released before, they are huge upgrades over their previous counterparts — especially the six-armed Spidey.
Hasbro’s official description:
Seeking to rid himself of his Spider-Man powers, Peter Parker takes a serum that accidentally causes him to grow four extra arms. He tracks down the monstrous Morbius, whose superhuman blood holds the cure. Celebrate the Marvel universe with this Marvel Legends Series Spider-Man vs Morbius figure set. These quality 6-inch scale Spider-Man and Morbius figures feature deco inspired by the characters’ appearances in the “Six Arms Saga” of Spider-Man comics! Includes 2 figures and 3 comics-inspired accessories including Morbius’ cape and Spider-Man alternate hands.
With over 80 years of entertainment history, Marvel has become a cornerstone of fan collections around the world. With the Marvel Legends Series, fan favorite Marvel Comic Universe and Marvel Cinematic Universe characters are designed with premium detail and articulation for posing and display in collections. Available for pre-order 7/18 exclusively at Walmart as part of Collector Con.
First off, take a gander at how awful the original six-armed Spidey release looks compared to this one. In addition to actually having torso articulation, the paint detailing has been significantly improved. The new Morbius isn’t great, but the paint is still a major upgrade from its previous release, as well.
At $44.99, this price could almost be considered reasonable if the set came with more accessories. Unfortunately, it’s a Walmart exclusive, which will make it not worth the hassle for most folks (myself included). If you want one, however, it’s expected to go up for preorder later this month with an expected arrival in the fall.
