By the time he reaches Spider-Man: Far From Home, the character has become an MCU staple. Spider-Man appears in four more movies after Civil War-two Spider-Man films and two Avengers films-each adding different layers to his character. After being recruited by Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.), Spidey swings onto the scene of a battle against Captain America (Chris Evans) and is an immediate delight.

Thanks to my sponsors over at All Time Toys for setting me up with this figure to review. Ultimately, he’s a rather middle of the road figure. It’s not like he does that badly, I suppose, though the decision to remove the butterfly joints and not to include a peg on the cape both do seem rather strange, and also serve to kind of hold him back a bit. He’s an MCU Spidey wearing a Doctor Stange cape. Mostly, I got him because I was getting the whole set. I had not particular attachment to this figure before the episode aired, and I still really didn’t have any after. Spidey is packed with an alternate unmasked head, two sets of hands (fists and thwipping), and the right leg to the Watcher Build-A-Figure. There’s a bit of shading to indicate the suit’s gotten a little dirty during the apocalypse, which makes sense, and also keeps him from being too bland. Zombie Hunter Spidey’s paint work is notably brighter in color than other versions of the MCU suit, bit it works well. It also has no peg or anything to hold it in place, which does make it a bit hard to keep it seated properly. It’s totally unique from the ones we’ve gotten with the various Strange figures, which was honestly surprising. During the course of the episode, Peter inherits Doctor Strange’s cloak of levitation, and as such the figure gets its own version of the piece. It’s really not terribly removed from the other MCU Spider-Men, which I suppose is the point, really. To that end, his sculpt makes use of parts from the Homecoming figure (which does again raise the question of why the shoulder joints were adjusted.) The figure’s upper torso and arms are new pieces, following the slightly tweaked design of the suit from the episode. Peter’s design in the episode is a mix of a few of his designs from the movies, most heavily leaning on his Homecoming appearance, which is really the most classically “Spider-Man” look of the bunch. Not exactly sure why, but that’s how it is. Notably, as a first for an MCU Spidey, he lacks butterfly joints on the shoulders. The articulation scheme on the figure is a little bit outmoded in its implementation, so he’s not quite as agile as you might hope. The figure stands just under 6 inches tall and he has 30 points of articulation. Zombie Hunter Spidey is figure 3 in the Watcher Series of Marvel Legends, and the second figure in the assortment based on the “Zombies” episode. It makes him a solid choice for toy treatment, I suppose, and so I’m looking at that figure today. For the purposes of the MCU version of the story, the zombies no longer retain their personalities, and Peter Parker is also spared his zombified fate, instead becoming the story’s central remaining human character. In the original Marvel Zombies, just about all of the major heroes had been zombified, which included everyone’s favorite web-slinger, who in the main story actually served as sort of the token good guy of the zombie group. “Zombie Hunter Spidey is in a ragtag group of survivors, fighting his way through a zombie-infested world.” ZOMBIE HUNTER SPIDEY MARVEL LEGENDS (HASBRO)
