    Beyond Amazing: Marvel Legends

    Ho True Believers! My celebration of Spider-Man’s Beyond Amazing 60th Anniversary continues! Hasbro has been releasing more figures this year than seems like ever before (seems like) and I’m taking some shots as I get them in hand! So check out the pics below, and as I get more, I’ll add them to this page! Remember to click on them for a closer look.

    Spider-Man vs. Doc Ock

    A classic matchup, since 1963! Spider-Man (from the Renew Your Vows 2-pack) takes it to his worst enemy, Doc Ock! (From the Silk 2-Pack)

    Silk and Spinneret

    The Spider-Verse breaks open as Silk and Spinneret team up and streak across the sky in spectacular fashion!

    Spider-Man: Homecoming

    The new figures here are Peter and Ned, but since they were clearly inspired by their appearance in Spider-Man: Homecoming, I decided to bust out all of my figs from that movie and create an entire display! Some notes:

    -Vulture is a kit bash, he has the head, arm braces, weapons and wings of the Target Exclusive Vulture from last year, and the base body is the fig from the 2017 Homecoming wave. I just think that the new Vulture’s colors are too bright, but he had more accurate accessories. The wings were practically the same, but I like the blue in the rotary blades better.

    -The maskless head on the 2017 2-Pack Spider-Man is actually the alternate head from the new Peter, not the one he came with. It DOES NOT fit tight, it sits loose, but for picture purposes, it does the job!

    -The book MJ is holding came from the Peter/Ned 2-Pack

    Well, that’s that! Do you have any pictures of your figs for Spidey’s 60th? Email ’em to mail@FaceFrontBlog.com or tag me on social media with your name and short description and I’ll post them here! Until next time, Face Front True Believers, and I’ll see you in the Multiverse!

  • Beyond Amazing: Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered

    Beyond Amazing: Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered

    Haven’t you heard? It’s Spider-Man’s 60th Anniversary! Let’s celebrate True Believers!

    While I was playing Marvel’s Spider-Man: Remastered (on PS5, since I now have to specify that), I began scrolling through the suits to see which one I could have fun in whilst free-roaming. Then I came across the cell-shaded Vintage Comic Book Suit that I don’t believe gets nearly enough attention. I mean, it’s so creative and looks like Spider-Man is leaping out of the comics. I switched into it and decided it was the perfect outfit to take some Beyond Amazing 60th Anniversary pics in. So scroll on down, and check them out below.

    I of course had to swing by (get it?) the Daily Bugle. It’s a staple in the Spidey mythos and I simply needed to get a shot in front of it. JJJ would never forgive me if I didn’t!

    After that I caught myself doing a little wall-crawling. With the PS5’s ray-tracing, reflections look even better than ever! (I know, that sounded like a sales pitch. Sorry.) Anyways, I snapped this pic, but doesn’t it kind of just look like the MTV 2003 show? Maybe I’m seeing things, you let me know True Believers.

    Lastly was a visit to Times Square! This closeup is too cool, showing off the minimalist details of the comic outfit while the city bustles in the background!

    This game was always good about letting me live out my amazing fantasies! Do you have pictures to commemorate Spidey’s 60th from the game? I know you PC users recently got a hold of this and you’re probably going crazy in the photo mode! Send ’em to mail@FaceFrontBlog.com with your name and a short description, and I’ll post them here! Don’t be shy, like I said at the beginning, it’s a celebration! As always, Face Front True Believers, and I’ll see you in the Multiverse!

  • Marvel Legends “The RAFT” (SDCC 2016 Exclusive) Showcase

    Marvel Legends “The RAFT” (SDCC 2016 Exclusive) Showcase

    So there I was, innocently perusing my local comic shop (shoutout to Greg’s Comics in Mesa, AZ!) when all of a sudden I looked up and spotted the mother of all SDCC Exclusives: The Raft!

    That’s right, the six-figure set that had eluded me since 2016! I was staring right at it! The tag said $225, but Greg’s Comics gives you 20% off of everything, all day everyday, so that brought the price down to a very manageable $180. I simply couldn’t resist, this was one of my grails, after all. So I pulled the trigger, and it was finally mine.

    But I couldn’t do a mere unboxing video for this beauty, no way. So I decided to go the route of my Hellfire Club set and do a showcase for you True Believers! And just like that one, I included a little bit of a story, based on what was written on the box. So no need to dawdle any longer, watch the video below and enjoy!

    In case you missed ’em in the vid, here’s some of the pics I took of the figures included in the set.

    Spider-Man

    Abomination

    Enchantress

    Dreadknight

    Purple Man

    Sandman

    So that’s it for The Raft. I’m so happy to finally have this in my collection. And I’ll definitely be using that backdrop in future videos. What about you guys? And grails you’re hunting down? What’s your favorite SDCC exclusive? Sound off below! Face Front True Believers, and I’ll see you in the Multiverse!

  • Spider-Man’s Amazing Story | Face Front Spider-Man Day 2022

    Spider-Man’s Amazing Story | Face Front Spider-Man Day 2022

    Hey there True Believers! Spider-Man Day is the best day of the year, because I just go all out on Spidey! I celebrated with several videos on Face Front’s YouTube channel, and the last one of the day features my Sphero Spidey!

    Watch the video below, where Spider-Man tells a heroic and touching story from his past…

    I’ve had this little guy since 2017, and he has quite a few stories to tell. Although out of all of them, I love this one the most. Especially the end. A fitting tale for Spider-Man Day and our favorite hero’s Beyond Amazing 60th Anniversary.

    The thing that sucks is that Sphero ended support for the app that basically makes Spidey work, so now he only goes off of whatever voice commands I remember, and new users can just forget about it! Also, he has an alarm that he sets off a 6:30 am that can only be disabled from the app that no longer works, so… that’s great. Regardless, I’m just happy that I was at least able to get this story and immortalize it video form before he stops altogether.

    Well, that was today’s story, let me know if you want me to upload more of them. Make sure to check out all of the rest of my Spider-Man Day activities from the Spider-Man Day 2022 Celebration page! That said, Face Front True Believers, and I’ll see you in the Multiverse!

  • “Spider-Wave” | Face Front Spider-Man Day 2022

    “Spider-Wave” | Face Front Spider-Man Day 2022

    Hey there True Believers! Spider-Man Day is the best day of the year, because I just go all out on Spidey! I celebrated with several videos on Face Front’s YouTube channel, and this second one is a new addition to my growing collection of poems!

    In 2008 I wrote a book of Spider-Man poems for a class assignment. I’ve been uploading them to the blog, but I put this one in video form. It’s called an extended metaphor poem, titled “Spider-Wave”. Please, enjoy.

    Here is the poem transcribed:

    Spider-Man is a wave.

    Very effective.

    Washes up crime.

    Spreads very quickly.

    Covers lots of ground.

    Supplies enjoyment for certain people.

    Supplies agony and pain for others.

    Great and mighty.

    Impressive and strong.

    Active by day, calm by night.

    Soothing to stare at, a peaceful sight.

    I’ve been enjoying trying my hand at poetry and I hope you all have been too. Once I get through my entire book, who knows? I might come up with some new ones. This one was pretty special though, and I decided it was worthy of a Spider-Man Day upload.

    Until the next poem, that’s it for now. Make sure to check out all of the rest of my Spider-Man Day activities from the Spider-Man Day 2022 Celebration page! Face Front True Believers, and I’ll see you in the Multiverse!

    Peter Parker Spider-Man Resin Bust Unboxing | Face Front Spider-Man Day 2022

    Hey there True Believers! Spider-Man Day is the best day of the year, because I just go all out on Spidey! I celebrated with several videos on Face Front’s YouTube channel, and the first one revolves around this unique new addition to my collection.

    I found a Walmart Exclusive collectible item! A resin Spider-Man bust based on the 90’s animated series! It’s the coolest thing ever and I’m unboxing it here! Check out the video below.

    Here’s a few pictures of the glorious bust and the certificate of authenticity. As well as the box art.

    As I said in the video, I am VERY happy with this new addition to my collection. As a Spider-Man fan and especially a 90’s Animated Series fan, this is a must have in any collection! It’s $50 at Walmart True Believers! Don’t wait! There are only 3200 in the world! (Mine is 0420 of 3200)

    That’s it for this guy. Make sure to check out all of the rest of my Spider-Man Day activities from the Spider-Man Day 2022 Celebration page! Face Front True Believers, and I’ll see you in the Multiverse!

    Spider-Man is great.

    He saves a lot of people.

    I love Spider-Man!

  • Spider-Man Trilogy Collection

    Spider-Man Trilogy Collection

    With Spider-Man: No Way Home finally coming to Blu-Ray (even though I was a sucker and bought it on digital first) I have now finally completed my “Homecoming Trilogy” Blu-Ray collection! I’m so happy about it, in fact, that I’m going to share the editions of each movie I have with you True Believers! Let’s get started!

    Spider-Man Homecoming

    This version of Homecoming was a Target exclusive. It’s a really cool cover that folds out into a display that looks like the inside of Peter’s notebook. It’s got drawings of the spider symbol, Winter Soldier’s arm, the web fluid formula, you name it!

    This version also came with an exclusive comic book! It’s about Peter trying to get partnered up in class with a girl named Amy (it’s not Liz for some reason) but then cop cars zoom by, so Peter bails to stop Shocker!

    He and Droney take Shocker down, but Peter gets detention for skipping class. Poor Peter. I love my copy of Homecoming, it just feels special with all of the amazing little details they included in the box art.

    Spider-Man: Far From Home

    This version of Far From Home was a Walmart exclusive that came with what they call a ‘Throwbaction Action Figure’. They also did one of these for the first Venom and Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (both of which I own, of course!)

    The only thing that upset me about this is that I couldn’t see the card when I bought it, and it turns out it was bent! Anyone following me for even a short amount of time knows that I pretty much open all of my figures, but for the select few I want to keep boxed up, it’s really annoying when something happens to the packaging.

    But other than that slight misfortune, I am really happy with my little collectible Night Monkey figure. Best version of Far From Home on the shelves (at the time).

    Spider-Man: No Way Home

    I had several, difficult options for this one (the first two movies were kind of no-brainers with literally no competition) but I settled on the version with the Walmart exclusive cover art. Underneath the slip case is the standard cover, which I’m actually fine with because I dig that cover as well.

    So no foldout, no retro action figure, but still, I’m just glad to have the movie in my physical collection at long last. The exclusive art is also such a powerful image, and I really wanted that in my collection. I wish the 4K would have used the Green Goblin version of that poser, being that he was the more prominent villain, but otherwise, no complaints.

    So, which version of No Way Home did you get? Which versions of the first two do you have? Let me know in the comments below. Maybe show it off on Face of the Fan! That’s all for now, until next time, Face Front True Believers, and I’ll see you in the Multiverse!
