Our Favorite Toys of 2023

Earlier this year, after much waiting, Hasbro finally released a No Way Home inspired three-pack of Spider-Men that gave fans plastic takes on Tom Holland, Andrew Garfield, and Tobey Maguire… at least, with their masks on. But this fall a new standalone wave of Marvel Legends returned to the movie and did it justice. The updated releases are all pretty fun (the Green Goblin and his glider is a highlight), but the stars of the show are the new Peters. In Holland’s case, a new unmasked head is paired with the first Hasbro figure based on the “final swing” suit from the end of the movie, making for a great improvement over the Integrated Suit figure. But while the Maguire and Garfield Spider-Men were just repackages with new unmasked heads, it was worth waiting for just those heads—they’re some of the best movie likenesses Hasbro has ever done, and throwing them in on top of two fantastic figure recreations of these legendary cinematic Spider-Men was just icing on the cake. Or webbing, perhaps.
