Yesterday,
Tamashii Nations (
Bandai, S.H. Figuarts) announced that the
unmasked Andrew Garfield head would
NOT be included with the upcoming
S.H. Figuarts Spider-man: No Way Home Amazing Spider-man figure.
ToyFarce did some digging to find out the actual reason why!
According to an insider source, there was a mix up during the making of the
prototype of the figure, as one of the
sculptor had been binge watching "
It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" while working on the sculpt, and ended up including a lot of
Charlie Day into it, which could be seen when the first pictures of the
unmasked head of the figure were released.
Tamashii Nations still did try to contact
Charlie Day to ask him if he would agree with his likeness being released with the figure, but the actor
declined the offer.
"
Well, I never played Spider-man..." explained Charlie Day. "
There's not really any point for them to make a figure of the Amazing Spider-man with my face. They were nice, and even offered to add my facial hair so that it looks even more like me, but I just said no. I'd prefer to actually play the character, and THEN, get an action figure like that. No hard feelings, though!"
No news yet on if Tamashii Nations is planning to remove the thong on the Amazing Spider-man figure as well.
More news at 11:00... "
You're Amazing! - I kinda needed to hear that, thank you."
*ToyFarce News is parody news for laughs and not meant to be taken seriously!
