It came from the Toy Chest: No, he's not Boricua. Stop appropriating MY culture!


 Miles Morales IS NOT PUERTO RICAN. As an Actual Puerto Rican, I can complain when a second Generation Nuyorican (read, not real Puerto Rican) is being passed off as Puerto Rican. I've expressed myself on the matter. So, let's look at the Doubly pandering Boricua Suit Miles Morales. 
Look out! Here comes the Pander-Man!

Articulation:
Holy ass crackers! Miles has articulation similar to maximum series Spider-Man. This like Martha Stewart says it's a good thing... guess we can say Miles does whatever Peter Parker can.
5.0
Miles: Yo perreo sola.



Paint and sculpt:
The sculpting seems to be new.. arms and legs seem to be the only reused parts as the headquarters are most likely new. There do not seem to be any paint issues on mine which is a good thing since I got him online. 
5.0
Miles: I AM Puerto Rican:
Nefty VO: where were you born?
Miles: New York.
Nefty VO: Where were your parents born?
Miles: New York. Both of them.
Nefty VO: So Basically, A grandparent was Puerto Rican. Making you Second Generation Nuyorican, NOT Puerto Rican. So take off that stupid costume that makes a mockery of my culture!


Accessories:
As always, here's where the Rhode Island bros drop the ball.
They gave him the old styled.Web line that requires a c-grip hand which he does not have. They could have given him an electric effects or two for his venom blasts. But at least they gave him the bare minimum hands to make him passable (fists, wall crawling, thwip)
3.0


Overall:
Miles gets a 4.33 as his final score. The usual lack of accessories is what brought him down. It wasn't a total waste of money but after having him in-hand; he's not that great.
