(NOTE: Because this is a repaint, this is not a full-blown review. This mainly covers any changes made to the mold and the color scheme, and merely compares it to the original Marvel TF Spider-Man. For a review on the mold itself, read the review of the original Marvel TF Spider-Man here.)

    Spider-Man's "classic costume" repaint isn't much different from this toy's original deco, since his "classic" costume isn't much different from his modern incarnations. Really the only major change is that the fairly light blue on the original has been changed to a dark, flat blue, which contrasts better with the red, in my opinion. The red is also a tad darker than on the original version, though this color change isn't nearly as noticeable as the different shade of blue. Otherwise, all the colors, and paint apps are identical to the original version, so nothing to say in that respect that wasn't covered in the previous review.
    No mold changes have beem made to "Classic Costume" Spider-Man.
    Marvel TF "Classic" Spider-Man is a waste of a repaint, honestly. It's so close to the original, honestly, why bother? It's just replacing two colors with different shades of those same colors. Just re-release the original if he's a popular figure. If you're considering which one to buy, I think this one is SLIGHTLY better than the original due to the slightly darker color scheme and the slightly increased contrast because of the darker blue. But if you already have the original one, this one definitely isn't recommended, even if you're normally a completist.


Spider-Man (Classic Costume) Bio:
Capable of phenomenal acceleration, and maneuverable enough to weave through traffic as easily as Spider-Man himself dodges bullets, his motorcycle mode is the ultimate extension of his style. In mech mode, it duplicates his powers almost perfectly, with powerful electromagnets that allow wall-crawling, and missile launchers that fire explosive blasts of webbing strong enough to entangle even the most powerful machine opponent.
