Hobgoblin/Roderick Kingsley
was a successful fashion designer and millionaire who had built his empire through underworld ties and unethical practices. One of his criminal associates, George Hill, had stumbled upon one of the secret lairs of the original Green Goblin. He relayed this information to Kingsley, who killed him to ensure the secret would remain hidden. Reading through Norman Osborn's journals and examining the various "goblin" paraphernalia and weaponry, Kingsley found himself enthralled with the idea of becoming a costumed criminal. Therefore he forged a new identity, with an altered costume as the Hobgoblin.
Using information he acquired from journals left behind by Norman Osborn, Kingsley intended to blackmail several key figures including J.Jonah Jameson and Osborn's son Harry. Inevitably, this drew him into conflict with Spider-Man, who Kingsley saw as only a nuisance and had only planned to deal with him in afterthought. After being beaten soundly by the web-slinger several times, Kingsley became obsessed with reproducing Osborn's original strength enhancing formula so he could deal with Spider-Man more effectively. Not wanting to suffer the insanity that plagued Norman Osborn as a result of exposure to formula, Kingsley decided to test it on a small time thug named Arnold "Lefty" Donovan. After exposing him to the formula, Kingsley had Donovan attack Spider-Man in the guise of the Hobgoblin. Kingsley monitored Donovan's vitals from afar, checking for anomalies. Spider-man defeated Donovan and unmasked him, but before he could compromise Kingsley's identity, he remote-controlled the goblin glider to crash, killing him.
Convinced that the test was a success, Kingsley immersed himself in the new formula and emerged with strength that surpassed even the original Green Goblin's...
Hobgoblin 360 GIF.
Heights around 6.4 inch.
Close up on the face. Very evil-ish face, very nice sculpting on this figure.
Without the hood, almost demon like. The only thing I don't like is it don't have ears...
Don't go away, the demon is coming for you...
Another head part, lizard like face.
Without hood, also without ears.
"HIISSSS...!"
Without hood without cape.
Very nice details on this figure, feels good too.
Head can turn 360, the hood is kind of soft.
The elbow joint is only can go up to 90 degree angle, that is maximum. The gauntlet-like part is separated, it can turn by its own without the hand.
Joints on ribs area and waist area.
Leg articulation doing well.
Hobgoblin version pumpkin grenade.
Hard to see the pumpkin face.
Compares to Jack O'lantern grenade, Hobgoblin is the yellow color one.
"Pretty SCHWAG for a men purse." Peter.
Demon Glider.
Back of the glider.
Top.
Even have some details underneath the glider.
Hobgoblin on the glider.
Hobgoblin on the move to destroy the city!
"Spider-man, I am here, come get some pumpkin pie---!!"
I didn't like Goblin series character much in marvel Universe, but this figure is the only exception, Hasbro did very well on the sculpting, like it much, worth to collect.
Electro/Maxwell Dillon
has been one of Spider-Man's most frequent and enduring adversaries, often fighting alongside some of the more powerful masterminds in the web-head's rogues gallery, rather than creating intricate plots of his own. Raised by his overprotective mother, after his father abandoned them, Max had ambitions of being an electrical engineer. However, after being convinced by his mother that he was not smart enough to pursue such a career, Max instead reluctantly took a job as a lineman for an electric company. While repairing a power line still connected to its spool, Max was struck by lightning. Instead of being killed, the freak accident caused a mutagenic change in his nervous system, allowing him to generate and control vast amounts of electricity. After creating a colorful costume, Max turned to a life of crime as Electro.
At the beginning of Electro's criminal career, J.Jonah Jameson began a smear campaign in the Daily Bugle proclaiming Electro to actually be an alter-ego for Spider-man. Intent on proving the publisher wrong, Spider-man faced Electro and was nearly killed by merely touching him. Using a fire hose, however, the web-slinger was able to defeat Electro. Sometime later in another attempt to deface Spider-man's reputation, Jameson secured Electro's supercharged services to battle the web-slinger on national television. Before an audience of millions, Spider-Man stood triumphant once more. Dillon was humiliated.
After a string of embarrassing defeats, decided to test his strength in numbers as a member of the Sinister Six, alongside Doctor Octopus, Kraven the Hunter, Sandman, Mysterio and the Vulture. Drawing numbers, the plan was for each villain to face Spider-man in a different location that drew upon their respective talents one by one until one of them was victorious. However, they were eventually defeated and imprisoned.
Electro's 360 GIF.
Close up on Electro face.
Another head included, original Electro mask. (duh, really prefer the previous one...)
Head is not restricted by the soft plastic mask, can turn 360 well. The other joint on the figure is just like Ben Reilly Spider-man version, same articulations.
Lightning ignited hands.
"Yes, it is me, the lightning guy!"
"This is electro-therapy course, it is affordable and comfortable for average adults. Or you want the hardcore-electrofy-therapy section? It cost more but it work, hehehe."
"Feel my 'Electro'cution, wahahahaha!"
He is needed in many field, expert in generator specialties, lol. (damn't, that waist...)
Sith lord?? His baldness and the lightning hands makes me think of StXr WXrs, lol.
I am kind of disgust by his expression, haha, the sculptor did a good job on that.
Compares to Spider-man.
(don't know why my Spider-man's right leg still stay crook after the hot water treatment several times, odd. Well, when it is crooked, it always crook...)
Hobgoblin compares to Jack O'lantern.
"THE SINISTERS"
"Well, Spider-man, come to enjoy the magic show?"
"Well, I am not alone this time!" Electro. "Hahaha, died, Spider-man---!" Hobgoblin.
Overpower team up!
"What!?" Electro.
Space Knight comes to save the world...!
