Unlike Miles, for whom the straight repaint from the two pack was pretty far off the mark, Gwen’s design falls a little more in line with the traditional base bodies for the line, so the re-use is a little more excusable. Of course, some of these releases are simply recycled figures in new packaging, but some, like today’s pair, are brand new. But of course, reviews and an occasional rant can only go so far, that 's why we encourage you to contribute! Lastly, the figure includes display stand with an articulated arm, so you can keep him in those more intense poses for longer. While Into the Spider-Verse was a rather loose adaptation of the Spider-Verse crossover in terms of most of its elements, one piece it did lift essentially wholesale was the super-heroic version of Gwen Stacy, affectionately known as “Spider-Gwen,” whose role and background are effectively the same for the purposes of the story.

Look for other Hasbro Marvel Legends Series figures (each sold separately) with comic- and movie-inspired characters, including Miles Morales and The Hand Ninja. This results in the sculpt being fairly film accurate, and it also results in a figure that’s better scaled to his compatriots. That said, she was played up pretty heavily before the film’s release, so that probably influenced DST’s decision. After butchering poor MJ’s debut ‘mate, I guess DST felt the need to prove that not every woman in Peter’s life was a horrible monster mash. Though Marvel Minimates based on the latest Marvel movie are more or less a certainty these days (unless you’re Fant4stic…), they weren’t always such.

Ultimately, I think your opinion on these figures is going to be heavily depended upon what you want from them.

If it was posable in some fashion, I feel like it would be a bit better, but there are of course drawbacks to that approach as well.Gwen didn’t have a costume, but DST opted to put her in the outfit that most people remember: the one she died in.
