Marvel Tales is a classic comic book series that was published by Marvel Comics, serving primarily as a reprint title. This allowed newer and older readers the chance to revisit iconic stories from Marvel's early days. The series became best known for reprinting The Amazing Spider-Man issues, allowing collectors to catch up on those adventures of Peter Parker at an inexpensive price. These issues featured vibrant covers with faithful reproductions of original art and dialogue. One of which was Marvel Tales #223, which was released in 1989 and reprinted The Amazing Spider-Man #60.
McFarlane Toys now brings the artwork of #223 to life with a new 1:6 scale statue. Of course, this artwork is one of Todd McFarlane's very own covers, which is an iconic design for the sensational webhead. The cover features Spider-Man trying to evade the deadly tentacles of Doctor Octopus, which have all been faithfully captured for this release. From Spidey Senses going off, deadly tentacles, and even a comic-book themed backdrop, this 1:6 statue has it all. McFarlane even included a reprint of Marvel Tales #223 to help get new and older comic book collectors back into the swing of things. Pre-orders for the new Spider-Man 1:6 statue are already live for $59.99, and it is set for a July 2025 release.
