We’ve seen Hasbro use metallic paint in the past with great results, but they went with non-metallic glossy paint for this Marvel Legends Velocity Suit Spider-Man-and it just doesn’t work, in my opinion. Whereas this armor comes off as ultra sleek and hi-tech in the PS4 Spider-Man video game, the actual colors of the plastic and paint used for this figure look, well… plastic. While I certainly agree in theory that this was a swell costume choice to capture in plastic, I think Hasbro didn’t quite nail the landing with this one as they did with the Spider Armor. The Velocity Suit costume was one of only a couple costumes to originate in the PS4 Spider-Man game, and had some buzz after being revealed from the game, so it seems as good a Spidey variant to do as any other for the game, right…?

That’s not an especially cool factoid, mind you, but hey: I really don’t feel like there’s a whole lot to talk about in this particular review. Here’s a weird fact: this is the first-ever mass-release 6” Marvel Legends GamerVerse figure based on a GamerVerse-original design, as Advanced Suit Spider-Man was a shared exclusive that started at GameStop and Spider Armor Mark III originated in comics.
