As I shopped with my son this morning looking for things for him to eat that wouldn’t aggravate his already tumultuous digestive system I came across some toys from the upcoming The Amazing Spider-Man that probably weren’t supposed to see shelves yet. Partially because the movie’s not out and partially because they totally give away the design for the film’s baddie: The Lizard. Now, we’ve seen him showing up more and more lately so it’s not as if he’s some big surprise but this has been a case where it may have been better to keep the design under wraps.
Because it’s boring. I snapped a few pictures for you so you’re able to be bored too!
It reminds me of an X-Files villain. Which isn’t a compliment, because while that show was fantastic and filled with dozens of cool designs it wasn’t a gigantic summer movie fueled by a hundred million dollars of marketing.

Not only is the design boring, but that toy looks no fun to play with.
Yeah, what gives? NO articulaton? Aren’t all marvel toys super articulated now? Even their butt cheeks are articulated.
Is Spidey taking a swing at him *IN* the actual packaging? Because that’s pretty great.
LOL. You should have bought it then immediately gone home and sold it to some desperate cashed-up fanboy on ebay.
Didn’t someone round here say it looked like David Patrick Kelly in “Dreamscape”? I’ll second that.
