Sony's Spider-Man universe has been seeing a lot more activity in the Marvel Legends line of figures, especially with the release of No Way Home which granted us new figures for Andrew Garfield and Tobey Maguire, not to mention several villains who had returned from other films like Doc Ock, Sandman, and The Lizard most recently! The Into the Spiderverse franchise has also exploded with action figure representation, with figures throughout both films being released across multiple waves at this point. It has been great seeing designs and characters from these films returning to action figure form, and this list will count down my next five most wanted Sony Spider-Man film figures.
5. Spider-verse SPDR and Kingpin
As much as we have gotten from the Spider-Verse films so far there are two big missing characters from the first film that we haven't gotten yet. The first is Peni Parker and SPDR to finish off the original team of Spider-Men which would also make an awesome figure release with the giant robotic robot design. My only worry is that when Spider-Man Noir was revealed Hasbro claimed that finished out the team despite this one being missing. The other figure would be another deluxe sized candidate, that being Kingpin is his most square put to screen! This block of a Kingpin was a great villain in the movie and I loved every time he was on screen.
4. Amazing Spider-Man suit
While Andrew's Amazing Spiderman 2 suit design is no doubt his best from his films, and one of the best on screen Spiderman costumes, I am also a big fan of his suit from Amazing Spiderman 1 and the way the patterns of the blues and reds blend into one another. With The Lizard being released this coming year it would be a great release to get Andrew in his suit he wore during his confrontation with Conners.
3. Spider-Man 3 black suit
Out of all the designs on this list this one should be the easiest for Hasbro to put out as they can take the Tobey figure they've recently released and repaint it into this black color scheme. It was a striking look for the suit as the Symbiote suit always is, and the theme music for this look of Spiderman went hard each time the soundtrack delivered.
2. Spider-Man 3 Venom
If we're going to get the black suited Spiderman, a great companion figure to both that and the released Sandman would be Raimi's Venom, a design and take on the character that I never had any problem with. He was vicious, evil, and Eddie's character in this film was a vengeful, prideful take that suited the fully villainous version of Venom well.
1. Amazing Spider-Man 2 villains
There was a lot of backlash to Amazing Spiderman 2 when it released, but I personally really enjoyed the movie flaws and all. Visually it was an impressive and entertaining trip, with great action pieces, thrilling music, and a devastatingly emotional finale. Villains have always been my favorite parts of superhero films, and the three we got from this film are ones I've been wanting figures of for a long time. Electro deserves a figure that actually matches his design from the film, the Rhino is a mechanical monster deserving of a deluxe release, and Harry's Green Goblin was a disturbing transformation that culminated to a tense final battle. We're already confirmed to be getting the No Way Home version of Electro in the coming year, but he and his fellow villains from Amazing Spiderman 2 are ones I hope to see made one day.
