Ah, Toy Fair, you spoilerific little convention, you. Every year, Toy Fair rolls out the best and brightest that the toy market has to offer, especially in terms of the marketing machines behind the year’s biggest films.
THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN is certainly in that category and these new images from Diamond Select reveal a very detailed look at Spidey’s nemesis, The Lizard. Up until now we’ve had some cheesy product shots and some blink-and-you-missed it imagery from the new trailer, but these are some rather in-your-face looks at the reptilian foe, as well as a few peeks at Peter Parker’s new webhead duds.
Check out the images below:
I must say, I’m pretty impressed with The Lizard’s look in the Diamond Select figures and statues. Nice detail, scary, but not overly so. I’m one of those guys who wasn’t blown away by the new trailer, but I love when I’m proven wrong about a movie. It’s a win win for me, unless I’ve bet money on it. Then, it looks like I’m changing my identity and moving my shit again.
Anyone else bothered by the red-tinted Spider-Man goggles? They look shiny in the trailer, but all the figures I’ve seen have a red hue. I don’t get it. Do not compute.
So, aside from the figures above, if you’re struggling with what to wear for Halloween this year or if you need a new costume for holding up liquor stores, then look no further than this Lizard Halloween costume. Does not come with a hold up gun.
Oh, and for the ladies. You are welcome and advised to dress like Gwen Stacy whenever you want and don’t let anyone try to stop you!
THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN swings into action on July 3, 2012.
