One word, "Plastics".

"Coming back here - where every street corner mirrors a past he yearns for and a future he can never have - has been a kind of sweet torture."

June 14th. The problem for Peter Parker was that he never knew which face was the right one for the circumstances.
#3 was a bit reluctant to do this. Television is allowed on Fridays after school and he was desperate to watch something! Plus it was heavy holding the mask apparently. I did have some selfies of me doing the same but thought you'd be bored of my face(less) now. I thought this would also do for the 52 theme of DOF. It's a twofer. Thanks Spidey.
Oh, and this is for Neil.
No rest for the weary - just spent the last two hours driving around in the rain and now I'm prepping a two lasagnas. But, there's always some down time, so here's me finishing what I started this morning, a look at the Beast Kingdom Egg Attack Action: Spider Gwen figure, liberated from the home of one Dez Hobin.
Egg Attack Action figures are... like the irradiated cousins of the Nendoroid action bodies. Similiar aesthetic and energy, but there's just something off about the way they look. They're not horribly priced by collectible standards ($80 USD on this side of the world, so probably less back over in Asia), and go for that mid level "Bang For Buck" market. The best way of putting it is they're like the Nendoroid Doll line, but more durable and less refined.
This is technically my second foray into this line, the first being the Endgame Black Widow I bought earlier this year.
Spider Gwen is a character I'm not super familiar with, but if you watched "Into the Spiderverse" her blurb is that she's from an alternate universe where Peter Parker is the one that died, and Gwen is the one received the Spider powers. I think things get more and more convoluted as you start look into Spider Gods and all that, so Imma leave it here.
The figure comes with some decent pack ins. You get the figure, four pairs of magnetic eyes for the SpiderGwen head, five pairs of hands total, two web effects, a Smartphone, a Gwen Stacy head with articulated eyes, two hoods (one for putting over the head, one for non deployed mode), her backpack, and a stand .
While I'm not a huge fan of the portraits, I respect them because at least unlike other companies, Beast Kingdom isn't exactly telling anyone these are photo accurate. The heads remind me very much of that Funko Rock Candy line. Those eyes.. they're almost hypnotic.
Like Widow, Gwen features an actual suit on an action body. Unlike Widow, there's a lot more paint decal (coloured areas) so those areas are prone to tearing from use, though I looks like the knees is what takes the most abuse. Otherwise, the only real area I can feel the suit is getting in the way of movement is in the shoulders and the pelvic area..
Speaking of movement, articulation. She's got toes, ankles, double jointed knees, thigh twist, hips, waist, shoulders with lateral movement, bicep swivel, double jointed elbows, wrist, and ball jointed head on a rotating post. While the suit doesn't get in the away, the figure is made with an ass cap, so Gwen cannot kick backwards. Otherwise, other than the exceptions stated above, she's pretty much able to push the limits of her stumpy body. With the included web effects and display base, you should be able to pull off some decent action poses.
Paint wise, there really isn't a whole lot on here other than the head. The hands, hair, and feet feature an average paint job with acceptable masking . Truth be told, seems a little thick on the pearl white paintwork used for the hands. The face, on the other hand, features some more subtle paint work, with a smooth flesh tone followed by some rouge for the cheeks. Eyeballs are nicely done, and feature a glossy finish to make them stand out.
Finally, there's build quality. The actual figure itself - nothing to complain about. The joints move and hold their position, hands plug in, QC is good, and there are no issues with regards to limb lengths Overall, the figure should hold up to general play and because of the suit, doesn't really have any blemishes to show. The size and strength of the Spider Gwen eyes, on the other hand... annoying. I think they're too weak and small, which basically causes them to fall off with the slightest touch, a true test of my patience as I was trying to find where they were dropping every five minutes.
There you have it. The Egg Attack Action Spider Gwen is a solid action figure. It's not going to win any awards, but it is nice to handle, and overall is more satisfying than playing with a Mezco. It has weird aesthetics, but it's meant to look goofy and is completely unapologetic about it.
Just.. try to keep your eyes on those magnetic parts.

Aside from a bit of added color, this is not a Photoshop effect. Any ideas how I created my portable wormhole?

There you have it. The Egg Attack Action Spider Gwen is a solid action figure. It's not going to win any awards, but it is nice to handle, and overall is more satisfying than playing with a Mezco. It has weird aesthetics, but it's meant to look goofy and is completely unapologetic about it.
Just.. try to keep your eyes on those magnetic parts.
No rest for the weary - just spent the last two hours driving around in the rain and now I'm prepping a two lasagnas. But, there's always some down time, so here's me finishing what I started this morning, a look at the Beast Kingdom Egg Attack Action: Spider Gwen figure, liberated from the home of one Dez Hobin.
Egg Attack Action figures are... like the irradiated cousins of the Nendoroid action bodies. Similiar aesthetic and energy, but there's just something off about the way they look. They're not horribly priced by collectible standards ($80 USD on this side of the world, so probably less back over in Asia), and go for that mid level "Bang For Buck" market. The best way of putting it is they're like the Nendoroid Doll line, but more durable and less refined.
This is technically my second foray into this line, the first being the Endgame Black Widow I bought earlier this year.
Spider Gwen is a character I'm not super familiar with, but if you watched "Into the Spiderverse" her blurb is that she's from an alternate universe where Peter Parker is the one that died, and Gwen is the one received the Spider powers. I think things get more and more convoluted as you start look into Spider Gods and all that, so Imma leave it here.
The figure comes with some decent pack ins. You get the figure, four pairs of magnetic eyes for the SpiderGwen head, five pairs of hands total, two web effects, a Smartphone, a Gwen Stacy head with articulated eyes, two hoods (one for putting over the head, one for non deployed mode), her backpack, and a stand .
While I'm not a huge fan of the portraits, I respect them because at least unlike other companies, Beast Kingdom isn't exactly telling anyone these are photo accurate. The heads remind me very much of that Funko Rock Candy line. Those eyes.. they're almost hypnotic.
Like Widow, Gwen features an actual suit on an action body. Unlike Widow, there's a lot more paint decal (coloured areas) so those areas are prone to tearing from use, though I looks like the knees is what takes the most abuse. Otherwise, the only real area I can feel the suit is getting in the way of movement is in the shoulders and the pelvic area..
Speaking of movement, articulation. She's got toes, ankles, double jointed knees, thigh twist, hips, waist, shoulders with lateral movement, bicep swivel, double jointed elbows, wrist, and ball jointed head on a rotating post. While the suit doesn't get in the away, the figure is made with an ass cap, so Gwen cannot kick backwards. Otherwise, other than the exceptions stated above, she's pretty much able to push the limits of her stumpy body. With the included web effects and display base, you should be able to pull off some decent action poses.
Paint wise, there really isn't a whole lot on here other than the head. The hands, hair, and feet feature an average paint job with acceptable masking . Truth be told, seems a little thick on the pearl white paintwork used for the hands. The face, on the other hand, features some more subtle paint work, with a smooth flesh tone followed by some rouge for the cheeks. Eyeballs are nicely done, and feature a glossy finish to make them stand out.
Finally, there's build quality. The actual figure itself - nothing to complain about. The joints move and hold their position, hands plug in, QC is good, and there are no issues with regards to limb lengths Overall, the figure should hold up to general play and because of the suit, doesn't really have any blemishes to show.

Spider Gwen is a character I'm not super familiar with, but if you watched "Into the Spiderverse" her blurb is that she's from an alternate universe where Peter Parker is the one that died, and Gwen is the one received the Spider powers. I think things get more and more convoluted as you start look into Spider Gods and all that, so Imma leave it here.
The figure comes with some decent pack ins. You get the figure, four pairs of magnetic eyes for the SpiderGwen head, five pairs of hands total, two web effects, a Smartphone, a Gwen Stacy head with articulated eyes, two hoods (one for putting over the head, one for non deployed mode), her backpack, and a stand .
While I'm not a huge fan of the portraits, I respect them because at least unlike other companies, Beast Kingdom isn't exactly telling anyone these are photo accurate. The heads remind me very much of that Funko Rock Candy line. Those eyes.. they're almost hypnotic.
Like Widow, Gwen features an actual suit on an action body. Unlike Widow, there's a lot more paint decal (coloured areas) so those areas are prone to tearing from use, though I looks like the knees is what takes the most abuse. Otherwise, the only real area I can feel the suit is getting in the way of movement is in the shoulders and the pelvic area..
Speaking of movement, articulation. She's got toes, ankles, double jointed knees, thigh twist, hips, waist, shoulders with lateral movement, bicep swivel, double jointed elbows, wrist, and ball jointed head on a rotating post. While the suit doesn't get in the away, the figure is made with an ass cap, so Gwen cannot kick backwards. Otherwise, other than the exceptions stated above, she's pretty much able to push the limits of her stumpy body. With the included web effects and display base, you should be able to pull off some decent action poses.
Paint wise, there really isn't a whole lot on here other than the head. The hands, hair, and feet feature an average paint job with acceptable masking . Truth be told, seems a little thick on the pearl white paintwork used for the hands. The face, on the other hand, features some more subtle paint work, with a smooth flesh tone followed by some rouge for the cheeks. Eyeballs are nicely done, and feature a glossy finish to make them stand out.
Finally, there's build quality. The actual figure itself - nothing to complain about. The joints move and hold their position, hands plug in, QC is good, and there are no issues with regards to limb lengths Overall, the figure should hold up to general play and because of the suit, doesn't really have any blemishes to show. The size and strength of the Spider Gwen eyes, on the other hand... annoying. I think they're too weak and small, which basically causes them to fall off with the slightest touch, a true test of my patience as I was trying to find where they were dropping every five minutes.
There you have it. The Egg Attack Action Spider Gwen is a solid action figure. It's not going to win any awards, but it is nice to handle, and overall is more satisfying than playing with a Mezco. It has weird aesthetics, but it's meant to look goofy and is completely unapologetic about it.
Just.. try to keep your eyes on those magnetic parts.
No rest for the weary - just spent the last two hours driving around in the rain and now I'm prepping a two lasagnas. But, there's always some down time, so here's me finishing what I started this morning, a look at the Beast Kingdom Egg Attack Action: Spider Gwen figure, liberated from the home of one Dez Hobin.
Egg Attack Action figures are... like the irradiated cousins of the Nendoroid action bodies. Similiar aesthetic and energy, but there's just something off about the way they look. They're not horribly priced by collectible standards ($80 USD on this side of the world, so probably less back over in Asia), and go for that mid level "Bang For Buck" market. The best way of putting it is they're like the Nendoroid Doll line, but more durable and less refined.
