If it weren't for completing the No Way Home line (Still don't have MJ, though I am not all that interested in her), I probably would have passed. I always kind of detested the design of Lizard in TASM. I had hoped they would update him for No Way Home like they did with Electro. But nope. They still went with the Mario 93 Goomba looking design.
I plan to give him a white lab coat, purple pants, and a different head to make him a bit of a hybrid between movie and comic. Kind of like the concept art for No Way Home that I attached. They could have at least given us a bendy wire tail...Otto had four bendy wire tentacles but we can't get a bendy tail with a reuse of a 13 year old body?

I don't do MCU, so this really isn't for me, but I have to say the ancient buck re-use for this is cringe-worthy IMO, this figure still looks pretty awkward, it's proportions are just aesthetically displeasing, sure it's better then the previous figure, which was just hideous, and they fixed the main issues from that one, but it still feels phoned in for the most part, If they went the distance and actually gave this all new parts it really could have been a very cool looking figure, Movie Lizard is a cool looking character (although I always thought they really should have given him a lizard snot, and less of a green voldemort face), they gave it a few nice detail updates on the deco, but it's a cumbersome figure to look at, and No bendy tail? really should have done that, Anyways even if I was collecting MCU figures I'd be having a hard time buying this, just because I feel like they could have done better and it's still generally unattractive, I do hope everyone who wanted this is happy about it though, but I;m sure a ton will agree with me on most of my points on why this Just isn't quite it.

the cheapest of cheap poor attempt at a cash grab. There are no words to express the amount of lazy it is to dust of a decades plus old sculpt and try to sell it as new.

Yeah, not a good kind of record unfortunately
It's no doubt an improvement and works good enough as movie Lizard but reusing 12-13 year old figure part does seem little bit much.
Looking at them side by side it does look much better than the old figure... I'll still wait for a discount, I can't justify paying full price for this as much as I'd like
Not an MCU Collector, but this is a cool looking figure.

I kinda like this more than I thought, but it would be so much better if the entire figure was new.
Though this looks decent, they needed ti update that torso, it just looks ridiculous. The neck plus torso does not sit right at all. Like cmon its like 13 yrs old.... Just ludicrous, hasbro has made a new scuplt literally for every character from no way home (except maybe JJ cant remember) like they couldn't go the extra step on this one? And with hiw floppy Sauron's torso has become I can only see that being the future here.
