ML Rhino BAF: Scarlet Spider

You know what is hilarious? I've had this figure for a long time now. A few months, more or less. It's only now that I finished his photoshoot and decided it is time to review him. How can't I? He is part of the 2015 line up. So, I won't be adding too much on his history, but he is a clone. This was Ben Reilly's first Spider-Man costume before his much hated Spider-Man run. SO.... let's just get right on the figure.

This was 2015's box and it is something we have seen a ton of times before. As one can see, he comes with more than a few variations for his hands. Not too bad. Oh and two variant heads for Rhino.

As a Scarlet Spider, he is dominantly red minus the few accessories and the bright blue hoodie that he wears. This was a pretty liked costume and honestly, it's not that bad. Not my favorite, but it offers some variation to the well used and classic Spider-Man costume. I believe as a mold, this one is recycled, but I believe the torso(the hoodie) is brand new. It's not bad at all. It has enough details on the wrinkles, he comes with the pouches on his leg, the web shooters, the belt... it's got enough flare to him and it is costume accurate.

Three pair of hands: open/wall crawling, fists, and web shooting hands. Not too bad. Then Rhino has two heads to choose from. I am not going to finish Rhino for a lot of reasons. I might not list it in this; I might just do a 'why I did not finish this BAF' post.

Reilly retains the standard articulation for a Spider-Man figure with this mold. Again Hasbro has to one day correct the legs; Spider-related characters like these guys HAVE to be able to do the splits! Doing so will allow for some much appreciated dynamic poses.

The spare hands definitely adds to the fun factor as a figure; again one has to depend on custom webbing since Hasbro has yet to grace us with one.

As they should, these two stand well side by side. Again, "pizza" Spidey shares a lot of Scarlet Spidey's body and as comic book clones, they SHOULD stand side by side.

And of course, the OTHER Scarlet Spider in my collection. I wish the Kaine Scarlet Spider was a bit more articulated and was like the new Scarlet Spider. I really like the Kaine Spider better and he has more to offer as a character (in my opinion) and aesthetically to me. Since Kaine came from a much older BAF in Hasbro's revival of Marvel Legends, certain things are out dated. Surely highlights this new figure even more.

I'm sad. I'm a clone.

In conclusion, this is actually a pretty decent figure. I got him for the purpose of the figure and not because of the BAF completion. He is a pretty well liked figure so we were bound to get him. Still, I have this inkling that I am not even close to done with the introduction of my Spider-Men! 2016 is starting off right in collecting!
