Hello folks, Stathis here!
Today we will take a look at the knock-off version of S.H.Figuarts Iron Spider figure.
This is not the original version, it's the knock-off version.
So, this is the box. It's a medium sized box.
Here you see a nice artwork of Spiderman that continues until the side of the box.
This figure is for ages 15 & up.
On the side of the box you see an image of Spiderman.
Nothing special on the top side of the box.
On the botton side you see another image of Spiderman.
And on the back side of the box you see some product shots.
Enough with the box, let's see the accessories of the figure now.
The figure comes with the instructions, here they are.
The instructions tell us how to place all the accessories on the figure.
And nothing on the other side of the instructions.
It also comes with a display stand.
You can place this bit over here, or here or here.
Take this piece, put it in here.
Place this bit in here.
Did I put it wrong? Let's see.
Nope, I put it correctly.
This goes in here.
I see that it's very loose over here.
And then you can place this piece here. Somehow like this.
Or you can remove these pieces.
And you can place these pieces here.
You need to be careful because this is a knock-off and we don't know how is the quality yet.
This is tight as I can see.
But this one here is VERY loose. Which is not good.
So this is the base, it can bend at this point here.
It can bend at this point, can bend at this point as well.
And of course you can rotate this piece, also you can open-close these claws.
This piece came out.
Anyway, this is the display stand.
The figure comes with the spider mechanism. As you can see, it can bend at 4 points.
Here, here, here and here.
The bad thing is that it doesn't rotate at the base of the legs.
The legs can only bend.
The figure comes with 3 webs. One big web and 2 smaller ones.
It comes with a tool to remove the eyes from the head.
It comes with 2 extra sets of eyes and as you can see here, one eye is missing.
It fell down, we couldn't find it, anyway the figure comes with 2 extra sets of eyes.
It comes with this peg, you put it in the back of the figure so you can place it on the display stand.
And it comes with 4 sets of hands.
It comes with a set of web-shooting hands.
It comes with a set of hands that are used to hold the big web.
You can place the web in here, like this.
It comes with a set of opened palms.
And it comes with a set of hands that make the gesture "call me", something like this.
Enough with the accessories of the figure, let's see the figure from close now.
And here is Spiderman out of the box!
The first impression is that his colours are very dull.
It doesn't have the correct colours. The original version has more vivid colours,
this one has very dull colours, especially the red colour is huge difference.
The second issue I noticed is that the figure feels cheap, you think it's gonna break.
And of course, this is not good. Now, in most places the paint is very good.
Except of this spot here, it has a blue dot over here.
But in most places the paint is very clean.
As for the articulation, the head can fully rotate.
It can look down, it can look up. It can tilt left and right.
His shoulder has the butterfly joint. The arm can fully rotate.
It can move up this far. There is double-jointed elbow.
There is fist rotation.
The torso can rotate. It can bend backwards.
It can bend forward. It has a very small tilt left and right.
There is tiny waist rotation, almost absent.
The leg can move forward this far. Backwards this far.
Sideways.
There is no thigh rotation! There is double-jointed knee.
And if I try to return the knee back where it was, it will stop over here.
I need to push this plastic here inwards to make the leg straight again!
I don't know if this issue exists in the original version as well, the k.o has it.
The figure won't have any problem though.
The foot can rotate. It can move down this far.
It can move up this far. It has very good ankle tilt.
And finally, there is toe articulation. Spiderman has very good articulation.
I wish it had better waist articulation and thigh rotation!
Other than that the articulation is good.
In the original version, if you pull the head out, the ball-joint will stay on the neck.
You will have a gap in the head, then you take this tool and you can remove the eyes.
Here, on the knock-off version, the ball-joint stays inside the head, so you can't take out the eyes!
The only way to remove the eyes is to take a small knife and pull the eyes out.
So this tool here, is useless on the knock-off version.
So let's change the hand.
Let's put one of his webs.
You can place the web in here.
And you can put the web shooting hands.
I put it upside-down. It's ok, I will put it again.
Come on...
They are very small and it's hard to do it in front of the camera but I will do it.
And it looks like this now.
Generally, the joints are normal, not very loose but not very tight either.
Now, to put the spider mechanism, you need to pull this piece out.
As you see a peg hole has been revealed.
And now you can place the spider mechanism, like this.
And here you have the Iron Spider suit from the Infinity War movie!
Also, as I told you before, you can place this peg here so you can use the display stand.
This figure is 14cm tall.
And a size comparison now. Here he is next to Blurr from Takara Tomy.
Here he is next to S.H.Figuarts Injustice Batman.
Here he is next to Storm Collectibles Scorpion.
Here he is next to S.H.Figuarts red Power Ranger.
And finally, here he is next to S.H.Figuarts Iron Man Mark 50.
Final thoughts... unfortunately the colours are not correct, it has very dull colours.
The joints are fine. The accessories are fine. The articulation is normal.
Buy this figure ONLY if you don't want to spend a lot of money.
If you got the money, buy the Mafex version which is superior in my opinion.
If you want to buy this figure, I will leave you a link in the video description below.
Stay tuned, product shots will follow up.
Thank you all for watching, see you in the next video, bye! :)
