It Came from the Toy Chest: Spider-Pig, Spider-Pig... I will make you a Spider-Ham!

I have nothing for Spider-Ham... He's a Spider-Pig...





So, he's a Peter Porker... Like Peter Parker but with Pork because he's a pig... HA!
So, basically parallel Earth Spidey and is a pig and I just spent $26.49*
*=Without taxes which at PR's 11.5% (I know yikes!) which puts him at $29.53 but if I subtract $15 that I had in Shop Your Way Rewards points that puts him at $14.53 which is a much more reasonable amount for what I got
So now that we got MATH out of the way. Let's be completely honest here: I just bought him for the BAF Part. The figure is a RIP-OFF Even if it's to offset BAF costs the figure is a Rip-off! Plain and Simple. Shoot, looks like I'm getting to review the Mantis Rocket Raccoon after all... (I was hunting for more GOTG to do a group review, but...)

Articulation:
Ham has:
balljoint Head
hinge and rotating Shoulders
Hasbro Elbows
Wrist cut
balljoint Waist WHY?
Boot Cut... WHY?




In comparison to Rocket who is SMALLER than Ham...
Balljoint head
hinge and rotating shoulders
Hasbro Elbows
Wrist cut
Ball joint torso
Balljoint Legs
Thigh Cut
Hasbro knee
Ankle cut
Hinged and rotating tail
( Groot is a statue, but to be fair, being THAT Small it would be very risky to give him multiple POA...)

Ham gets a 1.5 while Rocket gets a 4.0

paint and sculpt:
Hasbro cheaped out on Ham by NOT painting any web-lines. He has them sculpted on, but still.
He's a 100% new sculpt but with BAD Articulation (just check out his torso twist.Being ball jointed causes it to expose all his inner workings.) which makes him look  off-putting at times. But it's Spider-Ham!
3.5

Rocket (and Groot) are based on the 2nd Guardians movie. They've got the sculptural details and all the bells and whistles on paint. Groot seems slightly off. I think it's his eyes.
4.5

Accessories:
Ham only has the BAF Piece, which is YUUUUGE... And an extra head... Pork Grind, which is meant for the Venom from this wave or the previous Venom from Absorbing Man?
You have to admit that the Pork Grind Head is cool, but it makes Spider-Ham even worse since Pork Grind is FULLY Articulated and Ham, well...
3.0 Mostly because of the BAF

Rocket on the other hand has 2 guns, Mantis Torso AND Groot. While, yes, this is ALSO a bit of a Rip-Off, the pain isn't as HARSH as it is with Ham.
4.0

Overall:
Ham gets a 2.67 while Rocket gets a 4.17 It really hurts that Ham scored so low... TBH just get him if you can get him for under $20
