Advice needed! Waistlist opportunity - need to pick a Spider-Man

[lordnastrond]

Hi,
So my waistlist opportunity for the Deluxe Toby Maguire Spider-Man just came through and I need to decide whether to go for it or to keep my current pre-order of the Deluxe Tom Holland final suit from NWH.

I currently have a mix of villains for my Spidey collection but no Spider-Man [I cancelled the Video Game Classic suit when I saw the NWH final suit], including Molina Doc Ock, Jazzinc The Vulture, Mysterio and a Toys Era Fiend [that I'm hoping to sell to pay towards my Upgraded Goblin order].

I really like both Tobey and Tom's Spider-men, Tobey is more nostalgic but Tom has been in more movies [with more to come] and has played the role really well with a consistent quality to his movies. Tobey's base is SO much more interesting than the deluxe for Tom Holland [which I do like...but that Sandman is awesome] however the Tobey is a LOT more expensive.... I really like both suits, Tom's is like an upgraded version of the classic suit which I love and I love the vibrant colours, but the Tobey suit is also pretty close to a classic look but with slightly more visual interest with the raised webbing, though the colours aren't as bright as the Holland final suit.
I think both head sculpts are amazing, though sadly I see myself rarely using them in favor of the masked sculpt.

So I am canvassing for opinions and perspectives.
What do you guys think?
Need opinions fairly quickly before my waitlist opportunity expires.

Hey since there is clearly some urgency here I will repeat my response from that other thread.
I hope it is helpful as at least one person’s perspective:

Wow this is really tough. You bring up great reasons for obtaining both figures!

As I have admitted before on this forum, I am one figure per character guy, and therefore try to have the most “representative” version of any figure. I currently have the infinity War Iron Spider which is a cool figure but it will have to go.

So for what it’s worth I went with the NWH Final Suit. Mostly bk as you mentioned it has the look of the classic suit but upgraded. Also Tom Holland is killing in this role and will likely be in a few more movies, which for me makes this version of Spiderman classic yet contemporary and the definitive version for my collection.

Tobey and its not even close

Tobey cause he was the far better Spiderman than Tom Holland.

Bugger it!
I made my decision and I ordered the deluxe Tobey Spidey - I looked up some videos of it and the blue is a lot brighter/richer in real life than it is in the promo pics which was one of my major draws to the Holland final suit figure which helped tip the balance in favor of the Maguire suit.
I really prefer the silver raised webbing on the Raimi suit, I prefer the build of the body underneath the Raimi suit, I like the richer red/blue colour in the real life/videos of the Raimi figure, I MUCH prefer the Sandman base - I think its awesome and a cool way for me to include him in my Spidey-Villains collection.
Plus Maguire's first two movies have, to quote @ZE_501 , really stood the test of time as all-time classic CBM.
I do love Holland and I think his character has reached new levels in NWH - but I still feel like he is still growing into a classic Spidey and away from the Avengers-lite/Iron-Man-Jr role he was in the first two movies of his trilogy.
I feel happy with the decision.
