That says "crossover" more than this trope.: Environment Specific Action Figure

This might be best done with a picture of the regular figure, and at least two or three of the various ways this trope can show up with that character.

I'm on the internet. My arguments are invalid.

How about Spidey playing ball?

The company softball game just got a lot stranger.

Definitely needs replacing.

Motion to pull

For reasons mentioned.

Also, Baseball Spiderman could work.

That's still not quite this trope. The trope name means the place a character is in affects what is worn, not just a silly situation.

[up]The name's misleading - the trope is simply "figure with no basis in the show the line's based off of". Spidey and the Teenage Mutant Starfleet Turtles are perfect examples.

[up] I know there's a lot of Batman figures that are released that have suits/armor suitable for various environments...a couple pics of those would work fine.

[up][up][up]Even if it technically fits, it's still misleading because it makes it look like a crossover.

Also, Viking Batman is hilarious.

Hmm. Apparently needs tighter cropping.

A comparison picture showing the action figure in the normal costume and a couple different environmental varieties would work best.

[up]If we do that, we should have some sort Bread, Eggs, Milk, Squick thing going; like the first two or three are somewhat reasonable, like underwater Batman or something, and then cap it off with something absurd. Like Viking Batman.

I think the Spider-Man Adventure Hero line is obviously the way to go, it's just a question of which crazy Spidey action figure to use (wow, there are a bunch, some of which seem to be from different series):

Bump...we need to decide something. Votes on the pull motion, at least? I say pull it.

[up][up]A collage of that would be great.

Pull it, and I like the idea of a collage of the Spiderman toys.

I think the Beach Spidey fits best.

The collage would be awesome.

Also, I don't know why I'm hung up on the Bungee Spiderman, it just seems so... redundant. Also, considering Gwen Stacy, a little morbid.

Alright, it's time to wrap. The pic is up, potholed, and tagged, and the rest are added to the Image Links page. Locking up.
