Shoulda gotten him on clearance.It was at some point last year that I looked at my collection and realized the obvious. “Oh. I still love Spider-Man”.
Spidey was my favorite growing up. I mean, I’ve always liked a lot of pop culture. But I don’t think I realized how much of a Spidey guy I was until I looked through the Marvel Legends box and saw how much of it was Spidey. And then of course there’s the Spider-verse movies, some of my favorite movies of all time.
So I started realizing I wanted a LOT of Spidey. Not all the Spidey, but certainly as much as I could manage of classic comic villains and 90’s animated series characters.
Only problem is, I definitely wasn’t thinking this way when Hobgoblin came out. Fuckin’ Hobgoblin. Who needs a Hobgoblin? Not me! I passed up SO many Hobgoblins on shelves back in the day. So now I have a Hobgoblin at basically original retail off of eBay.
The biggest issue I have with him is that his glider is weird. The foot holes are set back in such a way that it’s tough for it to stay on. his feet. The glider from the VHS Goblin also seen above isn’t like this so I’m not sure why this one is.
The pic background is a bridge top from the 90’s animated ep Goblin War. I included Gwen because I wanted to and added in the smoke for the first time - I’m really pleased with how it turned out.
