The man with a thousand faces.
Chameleon is one of the few of Spider-Man's most classic villains that I had yet to add to my collection. While the older figure in a sit would've suited me better, I hold more
nostalgia for this silly looking super villain look he had in the show.
Well, work went into this guy, as I'm pretty sure the torso is
entirely new. Aside from that, the head sculpt is beautiful, and they added some black shading to highlight some of his features, which isn't faithful to the source material but does give the figure a more
realistic look. Now then, I have one big issue with the figure, and that's the belt: It's a single piece together with the chest band, it hangs loose over the figure and
can't be removed. Why is this an issue? Because it's a huge
missed opportunity, as the belt was how Chameleon transformed in the show, and it gave away when it was him and not the real character, so being able to put the belt on other figures would've been amazing. He comes with two trigger finger hands, two fists, a pistol, a rifle and a crumpled J Jonah Jameson mask.
The mask accessory has
indentations for his fingers so that he can hold it.
He has the standard Marvel Legends articulation: Double jointed elbows and Knees, swivels on his biceps, thighs, boots and waist with a hinged ab crunch. You can get him into any position that you could
need. He is a touch taller than Bucky Cap.
Not my favorite look for The Chameleon, but Hasbro managed to get his TAS look down to a tee. A removable belt could've been neat, but what we got is great by itself.
