Hot Toys Teases Spider-Man: No Way Home 1/6 Electro Figure

This looks incredible, I love that they gave him the electric classic mask and I really hope Hasbro gives us it too. That was a genius decision from the movie.

Agreed. In fact, I will say I think Garfield is the best Peter Parker and Emma really sold it as Gwen. The rest of the cast, while not bad actors. almost seemed like they were just thrown in as place holders and then never properly cast. Seriously, Dane DeHaan as Harry Osborn? Harry Styles maybe. To be honest, if they needed Jamie Foxx's star power they could have cast him as Alistair Smythe or even Norman Osborn and given those characters a more prominent role. On the flip, they coulda cast either of the actors who played Smythe or Harry as Electro and I think it woulda ended up better in the end. Maybe something along the line of Electro being the current threat, but Smythe pulling he strings behind the scenes and setting him up as the bigger threat in part 3.

Yeah, that among many other issues. But, as I said, I think a large part of it underperforming at the box office was that it was cast so poorly.

Something tells me with the way NWH brought in the dollars, Garfield wouldn't make the mistake of ghosting Sony again.

I heard about a party where the President of Sony requested Andrew and he never went, that and the under performing box office...

This unfortunate miscast and the terrible, ridiculous, laughable casting and design of the Rhino most likely compounded the issues and reasoning of why the 3rd movie wasn't given the green light.

I actually always liked him as Electro and he only got better with NWH, his costume both makes sense but also has that classic element which would be ridiculous as mask but works amazing as electricity. That figure seems to convey that perfectly at least from what have seen in teaser.

While his portrayal in this movie was a hundred times better than the previous version, both visually and dialog wise, I feel Electro was miscast from the jump. His story is that he was some insignificant, slight 90 pound weakling with a deadbeat dad and abandonment issues and a helicopter mom who couldn't get any respect, so of course, they cast a good looking, fit, stylish and charismatic actor to play the role. Yeah, you can spit shine and slick his hair down and have him try to fake and overbite and slumped posture and dress him in windbreakers and vests all you want. I wasn't buying it and I think the general consensus was that no one else really did either.

This figure looks amazing though, as what's usually expected from Hot Toys, but also as usual, just a bit more than I'm willing to pay for.

I like that Electro's power effects were yellow this time around, but not a big fan of his overall look besides that.
