Marvel Legends Spider-Gwen Action Figure Review

Hi Everyone,

Today I received the brand new Spider-Gwen action figure, ordered from Orbital Comics. The figure is from the Marvel Legends' Spider-Man Infinite Series 3 and is captioned 'Edge of Spider-Verse' on the box.

The Box - Back View
  • The back of the box features the other figures included in the series.
  • It also shows how to build the Absorbing Man.

The Packaging
  • When I took the figure out of the packaging I was really excited to see her.
  • The figure is very light to hold.
  • Unfortunately the joints of the figure are not flexible. I find it very hard to move her knees and her elbows.

 
The Costume - Front View
  • The design of the figure is spot on. The costume has been recreated perfectly!

The Costume with Wrecking Ball
  • As I do not wish to build the Absorbing Man, the wrecking ball is a bit of an awkward accessory to have. However, it can be quite fun if you wish to swing around Spider-Gwen.

 
Accessories
  • The accessories include a Gwen Stacy head and a lowered hood.
 
Gwen Stacy Head - Front and Back
  • I did not enjoy pulling off the head in order to replace it but it was quite easily done and definitely worth it. I think the Gwen Stacy head looks really cool!

 

 
On Display
  • Spider-Gwen does not come with a stand so it takes a bit of balance to display her.
  • I have matched her up with a Silver Age Gwen Stacy action figure and a previous Marvel Legends Spider-Man figure. Spidey is a lot taller than Spider-Gwen!

 
 
 
 
Overall, I really like the Spider-Gwen action figure! The costume is perfect and her accessories are very cool. The only thing that could possibly improve the figure is if she was a bit more flexible and if a stand was included.
 
Spider-Gwen is a hot new figure and this is making her quite expensive online!
 
Thanks for reading!
