1977 SPIDER-MAN MOVIE INSPIRED: Collectible figure is inspired by Spider-Man's appearance in the 1977 Spider-Man movie. Makes a great addition to any collection of Marvel Legends action figures. This is now available for pre-order on the Walmart website.

I seriously wonder what Hasbro was smoking when they decided 1977 Spider-Man needed his own action figure. Unlike Japanaese Spider-Man, I have never heard any demand from him.

Him and Ferrigno Hulk have been on many collector's wishlists for years. But i don't think many even considered that he was ever really a possibility considering that the show never got an official DVD release or was streaming anywhere.

Actually there was a high demand for this to be made when the Japanese spiderman was revealed.

Re: Ghost Spider (Spirit Spider)

I guess I'll just never understand the ML development crew's thought process. So they use basically the same old Sunfire model but retooled to eliminate the butterfly joints which they often use for the justification for using the model so often. Especially for the more athletic figures. Yet they leave everything else that makes the model look so strange like the tiny shoulders and extremely long neck. They removed articulation yet made no improvement to aesthetics. What was the point? To make room for the chest logo? I honestly think it could have easily fit on the original version of the model. Plus Hasbro's never had a problem making adjustments to details to accommodate sculpt limitations. They are just all over the place lately.

It's not like paint costs more than tooling. It's a terrible excuse. Also, there are other characters who have had their logos broken due to the presence of butterfly joints and no one has complained about them: Venom and symbiote suit Spider-Man.

Nitpicking here but, technically in the '77 tv movie he wasnt wearing the wrist shooter and belt on the outside of his costume like he did in the '78 series. But, i understand that's how they're branding him.

Love the image on the back of the box replicating the poster. Also, love that they implied the red leather detail on the belt. Wouldn't have faulted them if they missed that.
