W.A.R. # 43 : Spider-Man Classic Heroes, Green Goblin
Another Spider-Man Classic Heroes figure. The more well known villain, Green Goblin thanks to the Spider-Man movie. Rightfully so, since he is the craziest of the lot. Think of him as the Joker but without the constant laughing and a more ridiculous outfit.

Packaging
*************************************************************************************Detail/Sculpt
The face sculpt has more of a cartoon-ish look rather than a comic look. Norman Osbourne is mad and obsessed with Spider-Man but the look on his face is just pure nutter. My interpretation of G.G. is that he's suppose to be damn scary. Maybe its because these figure was intended for kids or maybe some sculptor was high and used himself as the sculpt.
The head kinda looks small for the body. Plus considering that its suppose to be a mask just means that Osbourne has a very small head. The details on the armor looks good and as expected very minimal paint app problems.
The messenger bag is to carry those extra homework because he kept on ditching classes.
The packaging says pumpkin bombs(plural). Yet we only get one...hmmm. Bish!
The glider is simple but effective. It's easy to place the G.G.'s leg into the foot hold and you can display him easily enough on it without toppling over. The feet...oh my...what big feet you have. You know what they say about guys with big feet right? Big shoes.*************************************************************************************

Decent articulations all around.

- Swivel biceps

Pricing
The going price were AUD 15. These figures are difficult to find now since it has been quite sometime they've been around. They used to be a lot at all the shops like Target, BigW, K-mart & TRU. Now I can hardly see them.

By comparison this figure looks a bit goofy compared to the ML series by ToyBiz. But I was thinking of getting the Hobgoblin and Demogoblin so to have all 3 figures in a row would look nice and sentimental. Like showing the Goblin through the ages. If you're a bit lost on where this character(Norman Osbourne) is in the current Marvel Universe here's the situation. He's still mad as a hatter and he's leader of the Thunderbolts working for the government. Yeah, I agree, even that lil bit of info is too much to take in.
