Choosing between action figures usually comes down to what kind of display story you want: a superhero shelf, a video-game character centerpiece, or a music memorabilia figure with a recognizable stage look. The four picks here cover very different collecting lanes, so the best choice depends less on a universal "best" and more on franchise, poseability, boxed presentation, height, and how much the listed price matters to you.
Quick take
- Best Spider-Man tech-suit pick: CT Toys Mess Toys Superior Spiderman Octopus Spider Action Figure Boxed, because it centers on the Superior Spider-Man / Doctor Octopus concept with an adjustable build and black color theme.
- Best lowest-price display choice: Michael Jackson Smooth Criminal Moonwalk Action Figure Model Toys, because it focuses on the white suit and fedora Smooth Criminal look and has the lowest listed price in the group.
- Best video-game character option: Figma SP-140 Doom Eternal Slayer Model PVC Action Figure Boxed Statue Gift US, because it is built around Doom Slayer and a TV, Movie & Video Games theme.
- Best blue-suit Spider-Man alternative: Hot-New Mess Toys Scarlet Hero Spider-Man Blue Suit 1/12 Action Figure, because it pairs a Spider-Man franchise tie-in with a blue suit and adjustable design.
Listed price comparison
The listed prices run from USD 33.99 to USD 52.49, with the lowest figure about 35% below the highest. That spread matters if you are comparing a character you already collect against a figure that is mainly filling a display gap.

Decision matrix
Choose by character first. If your collection is organized around Spider-Man, the two Mess Toys choices are the natural comparison: one leans into the Superior Spider-Man / Doctor Octopus idea, while the other emphasizes the Scarlet Hero blue-suit look. If your shelf is more about gaming characters, Doom Slayer is the clearer match. If music memorabilia is the priority, the Michael Jackson figure is the outlier in the best way.
Choose by display style next. The Michael Jackson figure is described around the white suit, fedora, black shoes, and dance-pose concept, so it reads as a performance display piece. The Doom Slayer figure is a boxed PVC model with a 16cm height, which makes it more straightforward for a gaming-themed setup. The Spider-Man figures both list adjustable features, making them more appealing if you like changing poses.
Choose by color palette. The Superior Spiderman option is black and tied to The Amazing Spider-Man movie attribute. The Scarlet Hero option is blue and also sits under the Spider-Man franchise. The Michael Jackson figure is white, while Doom Slayer is listed as "as shown," so it is less color-specific in the attribute set.
Choose by size clues. The two Mess Toys Spider-Man options list a 6-inch height, while the Doom Slayer figure lists 16cm. The Michael Jackson figure description gives an approximate 18cm / 7-inch height. If you are arranging figures together, those numbers help set expectations for shelf presence without needing to compare every accessory.
Concise product notes
CT Toys Mess Toys Superior Spiderman Octopus Spider Action Figure Boxed
This is the most specific Spider-Man concept among the four: the title and description point to Superior Spiderman, Doctor Octopus, and a black suit direction. The adjustable feature and 6-inch height make it a practical fit for collectors who like superhero figures that can be posed rather than left in one static stance. The main limitation is price position: it is the highest listed item in this comparison, so it asks for a stronger preference for the Superior Spider-Man / octopus-themed design. It also has a more focused Spider-Man appeal than the Michael Jackson or Doom Slayer choices.
Michael Jackson Smooth Criminal Moonwalk Action Figure Model Toys
This figure is the clearest choice for a music-themed shelf. The Smooth Criminal framing, white suit, fedora, and Michael Jackson character focus give it an instantly recognizable display identity. It is also the lowest listed price, which helps if you want a character piece without moving into the top of this comparison's range. The limitation is that it sits outside the superhero and video-game lanes; collectors building a Spider-Man, Marvel-style, or Doom-focused display may find it less connected to the rest of the group. Its appeal depends heavily on wanting the Michael Jackson performance look.
Figma SP-140 Doom Eternal Slayer Model PVC Action Figure Boxed Statue Gift US
The Doom Eternal Slayer figure is the pick for shoppers who want a game-character focus rather than a comic or music figure. The Doom Slayer character name, PVC material, boxed statue wording, and 16cm height all point toward a compact display piece for a gaming-themed collection. It also sits near the low end of the price range, close to the Michael Jackson and Scarlet Hero options. The limitation is that the color is only listed as "as shown," so it does not give the same simple color cue as the black Superior Spiderman, blue Scarlet Hero, or white Smooth Criminal figure.
Hot-New Mess Toys Scarlet Hero Spider-Man Blue Suit 1/12 Action Figure
This is the more accessible Spider-Man choice if the Superior Spiderman design feels too specific or too high in price. It has the Spider-Man franchise connection, a blue color listing, adjustable features, PVC material, and a 1/12 action figure title, making it a straightforward pick for a Spider-Man display. The description centers on the Scarlet Spider / Ben Reilly-style suit idea, which gives it a different personality from the black Superior Spiderman figure. The limitation is that it competes directly with another Mess Toys Spider-Man figure; if you specifically want the Doctor Octopus-era Superior concept, this blue-suit version is not the same theme.
Final recommendation
For most shoppers, start with the character lane. If you want Spider-Man, compare the two Mess Toys figures first: the CT Toys Mess Toys Superior Spiderman Octopus Spider Action Figure Boxed is the more distinctive Superior / Doctor Octopus-themed choice at USD 52.49, while the Hot-New Mess Toys Scarlet Hero Spider-Man Blue Suit 1/12 Action Figure keeps the Spider-Man franchise connection at USD 34.99 with a blue-suit direction.
If price is the deciding factor, the Michael Jackson Smooth Criminal Moonwalk Action Figure Model Toys has the lowest listed price at USD 33.99 and a very defined white-suit performance theme. It is the strongest fit for a music memorabilia display rather than a superhero shelf.
If your collection is centered on games, the Figma SP-140 Doom Eternal Slayer Model PVC Action Figure Boxed Statue Gift US is the cleanest match because it names Doom Slayer, lists a 16cm height, and uses a TV, Movie & Video Games theme. At USD 34.94, it stays close to the lower end of the group while offering a different character lane from both Spider-Man options.
The simplest buying call: choose Superior Spiderman for the boldest Spider-Man concept, Scarlet Hero Spider-Man for a lower-priced Spider-Man alternative, Doom Slayer for a gaming shelf, and Michael Jackson Smooth Criminal for a music-focused display piece.
