Find Auctions for this ItemLimited Edition Retro Marvel Mego 8-Inch Spider-Man Action Figure Box Set
Diamond Select Toys presents this fully articulated retro 8-inch Spider-Man action figure with authentic fabric uniform.
Based on Marvel Comics original Mego Spider-Man action figure, this reproduction builds on what Mego started by taking it a step further.
Retro Mego Repro Spider-Man Box Set
With Figures Toy Company recently releasing their 8-inch scale Batman Retro line, Mego fans have been in heaven. Not only does Figures Toy Company have plans to expand that line and build extensively on the original DC Mego figures, but now Diamond Select Toys has made a huge announcement regarding their next big product which brings them into the Mego market as well.
Retailing for about $80 (significantly higher than Figure Toy Company's $25/figures), Diamond is planning on releasing an exact repro of the original 8-inch Mego Spider-Man action figure with authentic cloth uniform. But that's not all you get…
Limited Edition Diamond Select Spider-Man Box Set
In order to really sweeten the offer and properly launch their Marvel Mego figures line, Diamond is basically making it impossible to say "no" to this first release. How? By also giving you a complete Peter Parker secret identity Mego repro of sorts.
Taking a lead from Captain Action, this first 8-inch Spider-Man release by Diamond will also include a second interchangeable head-sculpt and uniform to quick-change Spider-Man into his secret identity. Peter Parker comes complete with a brand new head sculpt that looks just like Parker from the early days of Marvel Comics. Remember, the original (and extremely rare) Peter Parker secret identities figures from Mego simply recycled a Shazam! head for Parker.
The Diamond Select Peter Parker uniform comes complete with oversized eyeglasses and retro-style 35mm camera.
Diamond Select Modern Spider-Man Uniform
And as if that's not enough, Diamond is throwing in everything you need to build a third version of the Amazing Spider-Man. You also get another modern version of Spider-Man's uniform with a third interchangeable head sculpt. The modern uniform varies in that it has black "webs" stitched-in under the arms and the printed webs on the uniform run completely across the chest and right over the printed spider.
The modern Spider-Man suit from Diamond also varies from the repro-Mego version in that Spider-Man's red boots are not part of the cloth uniform. Instead, Diamond gives you a traditional pair of removable stiff plastic boots to complete the look of our modern Spider-Man figure.
This 8-inch repro Mego Spider-Man figure from Diamond also comes with various interchangeable hands including Spidey fists, web-shooting versions, and open palms. Accessories include detachable gray web shooters which clip to Spidey's forearms, a matching gray detachable utility belt, a souvenir copy of the Daily Bugle complete with a Peter Parker Spidey photo on the cover, and an awesome looking retro 35-mm camera for photographer Peter Parker to take yet more Spider-Man photos.
These sets are limited to only 3,000 pieces and future Mego Retro figures from Diamond select will include Iron Man, Captain America, and Wolverine.
