Whose Tom Holland Is This?

Peter Parker’s poor luck at all times appears to strike within the weirdest locations. Like, his face apparently. From the put-upon Spider-hero that gave us a very distressing online game makeover, now comes this.

Announced in the present day by Hasbro as a part of an upcoming celebration of Spider-Man’s sixtieth anniversary with its Marvel Legends line up, this Spider-Man: Homecoming Peter Parker determine is definitely a part of a two-pack, pairing collectively the civilian Spidey along with his greatest pal, Ned Leeds. Ned, not less than, seems to be fairly good for essentially the most half, largely resembling actor Jacob Batalon and coming with a really enjoyable different head that’s simply Ned within the Spidey masks:

But… what is that this Peter Parker face? Why is that this Peter Parker face? Who is that this Peter Parker face? Because good lord, it’s not Tom Holland. Or, reasonably, this one isn’t. The determine comes with two heads, with a extra impartial head for Peter that appears a little bit extra like Holland for those who squint at it. But the smiling head is simply… loads.

You know that bit in No Way Home the place—and I’m sorry, I suppose spoilers for a film that’s been out in theaters for like 5 months now, and has made so many gabillions of {dollars} that half the planet has already seen it a number of instances—Willem Dafoe’s Norman Osborn adjustments personalities from the kindly, traumatized Norman over to his Goblin persona? “Norman’s on sabbatical, honey”? That’s this Peter Parker smiling head, that second, besides, if something, Peter Parker ought to by no means be going goblin sicko mode.

I can’t cease desirous about it. This is way from the primary time Hasbro has performed a Holland Spidey unmasked head—earlier than the corporate converted to its printed “Photoreal” paint functions for MCU figures, a Homecoming two-pack with Iron Man gave us the primary Holland head within the Marvel Legends line, and final yr, a No Way Home Walmart-exclusive model of his black-and-red go well with had an unmasked head that wasn’t half bad. Why not re-use that right here? I suppose we shouldn’t complain at getting not one, however two new headsculpts for Peter within the set, however… possibly we must always when one in all them seems to be like this.

Should you your self resolve you’d like a Ned and Gremlin Peter on your personal shelf, the Spider-Man: Homecoming Peter Parker and Ned Leeds two-pack will go on pre-order tomorrow, April 20, at Hasbro Pulse for $56. It’s not due out till December 2022 although, so that you’ve obtained eight months or thereabouts to mentally put together to have that little plastic face staring again at you.
