Hobgoblin (Super-Poseable) Spider-Man (2000) (Toy Biz)Wow, where to start? How about we start from the minute I walked into my local comic shop, the one only a mile away from me, Tate's the official (they have a trophy) greatest comic shop in the world. Basically, I walked in there with about 12 bucks, and I said to myself, "I wan' sum figgers" so I go over to the Marvel section and look at the Superhero Showdowns, sadly the only had Human Torch and Green Goblin, so I looks down to the Spider-man figures, and I find, well, you guessed it, Hobgoblin! He looks pretty cool, but not like the HObgoblin I've grown accustomed too, I check the price tag, and what do youu know, 12 dollars it costs (little more tha usual, but they go for suggested retail price, (jerks).So I go to the counter, ring it up, and run home as fast as my puny legs can take me. Basically, after ripping it out of the package, I notice that he;s AWESOME! His sculpt is fantastic, he looks pretty freaking frightening with the hood on, you can pose him every which way thanks to the foot holes in his glider, and his paint apps are dark and gritty like Batman. However, all good things have an opposite, here's where Hobgoblin's negative joojoo arises. the cape and hood are kind of sticky, they don't leave marks, they're just sticky (at least they start with that new plastic smell :D). His cape is a little hard to get on, and comes off a little to easy.. His dark and gritty paint apps stand out amongst my colorful and pretty much solid colored collection (Curse Hasbro and it's inability to live up to the skill of Toy Biz!). That's it, other than that, beautiful figure. Perfect 5, worth every penny
