This is the only Hammond Collection I care about. (Hasbro joke!)Look, I can’t be held -entirely- responsible for how my brain’s receptors evolved. Hasbro puts out a basic Spider-Man on an at-best mediocre body, throws two overlays on it, paints the eyes grey, and bundles it with a fucking pices of string and I’m like “YES HERE IS TWENTY FIVE DOLLARS!”
This is, for you young-uns, the shitty Nicholas Hammod Spider-Man from the shitty Spider-Man TV series from 1977-1978, a show that still holds up based on the merits of not holding up even the slightest. Like so many 70’s/80’s superhero adaptations, the villains were all Guys In Suits and 90% of the show was Peter Parker doing shit. The rest was half stock footage and bad stunt fighting.
The string is a hilariously accurate recreation of the shitty web ropes they used in the series. He has that, two old web splat effects pieces, two fists, and two… hands. They’re weird hands because they’re not really Spidey hands but they’re also not traditional Hasbro grip hands. They’re like a bent palm with an open thumb so it can holdt things, sort of.
For the pic, let’s face it - if ever my inability to match a foreground with a background was an asset, it was with this pic, a deliberate attempt to match the janky wall-crawling bluescreen from the show.
