This AMAZING SPIDER-MAN Lizard Shoots Candy From His Mouth (Or Strictly Speaking, His Neck)!
Nordling here,
As you know, marketing and toy production ramps up months or sometimes even a year or so before a major superhero blockbuster is released into theaters, so I'd imagine more toys from AMAZING SPIDER-MAN will be seen sooner than later. So we'll get a better look at the heroes, the villains, and the et cetera in the coming weeks and months.
For now, though, we're getting an early look at the Lizard through his own Pez dispenser, courtesy of Comic Book Movie. Of course, his face is probably exaggerated a bit, and as I didn't see the Comic-Con footage I have no idea if it's close to what some of you saw in July. But I can kinda see Rhys Ifans in the face, a little bit:
I've heard complaints about the Lizard footage, and I'm sure Sony is anxiously fixing that in post as we speak. But what do you all think?
Nordling, out.

I think those are a couple of pez dispensers and that this site desperately needs some movie news.
-
I had forgotten he was the villain for this one. Shows how pumped I am about it all, I guess... Is that off-white his belly color, or is he wearing a really old, stained wife-beater? Also, too much nose, not enough snout.

Are we really going to have a talkback to discuss the pez dispensers used to promote a film coming out next year?
by Bobo_Vision
-
Big Woooop! I am waaay past caring about this new Spiderman.
-
Looks like the Tosk from Deep Space Nine.
-
What the hell? Lizard with a flat face? Why not just change his name to Reptile?
-
This place has been pathetic for what, ten years now? When was the last time we had test screening reports? News of note?

samuel fulmer, my thoughts exactly. The Lizard wears a lab coat.
by Grammaton Cleric Binks
Killer Croc is the one who would be in a wife beater.
-
So annoying that after 2 movies of set-up we never sa Dylan Baker as The Lizard. He would have been great. And it would have been a nice change of pace to see a "reverse origin." Spidey is attacked by this Lizard monster who he later sees revert back to his science teacher. All those movies Dylan Baker might as well just walked around with TWO arms. What a waste. So no, No, I don't want any of your new Lizard Pez!

So is this film based on the writings of David Icke who claims lizards are running the world?
by Bobo_Vision
-
You didn't figure it out from the headline? You would have been less dissappointed to see a set pic from the movie with the Lizard shooting CANDY at Spiderman?
-
I think.... I liked you better..... as William_Faulkner.... or Skyway_Moaters.
-
I always get stalked by gay dudes like this assybuttjizz.
-
Do not invoke the name of G@BRIELGR@Y Three times lest ...
-
Seriously? Anyone?
-
...with r-tarded assholes like these? Yeah, they're Pez dispensers. They're also the only pics of The Lizard's face that have been posted so far. Idiots.
-
Funny.... you're the serial, compulsive AICN lover with at least three handles (and who hilariously accuses others of AICN addiction). Me... other than once or twice a month.... I'm barely online.
-
Oh,wait - it's Nordling. Now I understand.
-
Man how I wish Raimi had been allowed to use the Lizard in his Rogue's Gallery.
-
then GET OUT AND STAY OUT! You whining losers. Is this the best you can do with your day? How about a piece of news that actually gives our first half decent view of the Lizard?? If you think this story is about Pez dispensers then you're probably the same type of cretins who think Saving Private Ryan is a film about kick ass war shit. Morons.
-
No, Saving Private Ryan isn't a film about kick ass war shit.... it's a sentimental retrospective war film which would've been aces had Tom "Saccharine Sweet" Hanks not starred in it. imo.
-
The problem with guys like faulkner is that they are one note idiots. They think they are more important than they are. Take faulkner for instance. No matter when or where I post, he always calls me a whiny bitch. That's it, that's all he ever says. I just laugh at his idiocy. The best part is, faulkner always gets ignored. He jumps into a TB, says something he thinks is witty, and NO ONE ever responds to him. It's like he is invisible. He thinks people follow him. Like we give a rat's ass about that retard.

louis gosset jr in ENEMY MINE pez dispenser.. about time..
by paul burnett
..or is it the true form of the queen??
-
Green Goblin.
-
Looks like Dirk Benedict at the end of that weird '70s movie. Except less scary.
-
And a holdover from the mish-mash of scripts that Sony was pushing forward with. The Goblin didn't look great, but I have to say that for all the major villains in Spidey's Rogue's Gallery, his would be the hardest to translate to the bigscreen (visually and how the look ties into the character and performance), especially for the very first movie in the the series (which you hope will be a blockbuster, but the only proven Marvel hero film so far is X-Men). So I'm willing to cut him some slack for that, especially since every villain following Gobby looked spot on in my opinion (though I would have preferred a white lab coat for Doc Ock myself).
-
That or a Goomba. I'm guessing they're trying to keep things grounded, but I don't know, I'd have liked a bit more of a snout?
-
Where's the pseudo-Nazi cap?
-
Give it up, Nordling.
-
And then he throws a huge foam boulder at Spidey.
-
Just imagine how Faulkner's poorly written Jackass Obit a few months back empowered him (under his bobo_vision guise). The guy's delusional for sure. He's obviously yearning to be another choppah (who, love him or hate him, is kind of a real AICN TB force and at the least knows his film history).
-
much like the Power-Ranger Version of The Green Goblin we got.
-
Nov. 29, 2011, 10:12 a.m. CST
Yeah, props to the person who said it looks like Lou Gosset in Enemy Mine...
by Astronut
Good call.
-
...gay dudes show up and start shooting their jizz everywhere. Anytime a nightclub opens, ignorant ass gay dudes jizz the place up! Grand opening. Grand closing.
-
And most of you actually paid to see that shit.
-
Was there something wrong with the original design from the comics?
-
And another Tobey Maguire dance number!
-
Great, now I've read the 100% true spoilers of Prometheus AND Spiderman! Fucking lame reporting guys, you could pick 3 random talkbackers who could do a better job than you useless fucks over the last few years. I've read 3 laughably bad articles in a row: Batcopter, Prometheus spoilers, and now the Spiderman Pez Dispenser debate of 2011. Fucking lame.
-
Doesn't Sony have anyone like us to vet character design? Yes, it looks kinda' like Killer Croc. Kinda' like Gosset Jr. in "Enemy Mine." Kinda' like the actor... but not like Marvel's "The Lizard." I'm guessing it's the same Hollywood BS that necessitates actors take their masks of all the goddamn time in superhero movie. "So people can SEE MY FACE! I'm a STAR!" Groan. If you're playing Spidey or Green Goblin or whoever... you're playing a person that wears a mask. Deal with it.
-
And a flying snowboard?
-
Sort of a reptilian Planet of the Apes mask. It's just the underwear guy from Notting Hill for fuck's sake, why do we need to see his face? You can keep his eyes that's fine, but make him look like the lizard goddamnit!
-
...and was surprised it held up so well after all this time. And surprised it was as violent near the end as it was. Funny after you become a parent, how you look at shit differently. I watched 'Raiders' with my son when he was 6, and was like, 'Wow, is this age appropriate?' Now, 3 years later, it's his favorite movie of all time. Smart kid.
-
When I do a google search for the lizard on google it looks nothing like that toy. Did the people making this movie do any research at all??
-
Not at all. Now Spider-Man is facing V lizard man. Blah. Bring on Dark Knight Rises and Avengers!
-
Ridiculous villains for today's times
-
And instead looks like Killer Croc. FFS.
-
Nov. 29, 2011, 10:58 a.m. CST
oops, ...didnt want a hint of him left once he transformed...wheres his fucking snout/jaws?!
by Cervantes
-
Aside from being green.
-
With the Killer Croc mention. Curse this metal body, I wasn't fast enough.
-
Man I'm really slacking in this thread.

Lizard? Looks more like a cross btwn the Hulk & a Sleestak.
by Cinemajerk
I always remember the Lizard having more of a lizard like snout...not a humanoid like jaw. And of course the purple pants and white lab coat.
-
they were kind of eerily good...except gollum looks goofy and too happy/cute, and Sam looks even sadder and mopier than the movies...if i recall correctly, the dispensers are even height appropriate to each character (I think Gimli, Gollum and the hobbits are shorter than the rest of the humanoids)
-
Very creative, but not so sure it's a very challenging villain. Maybe it's not as strong of a Spider-Man as we've seen in the past...
-
Put it on my Christmas list!
-
Ok, that was pretty funny. Props.
-
I'll have to let my geek buddy's wife know.
-
It's sad that our first glimpse of The Lizard came out this way. Sony has screwed up the promotion for this movie in every possible way so far.
-
Nov. 29, 2011, 11:42 a.m. CST
it's a weird time for LOTR pez though- too late for movies, too early for Hobbit
by zom-bot.com
the faces are mostly pretty good. Viggo and his dirt-beard look a little wonky. can anyone verify my shitty one day memory? were the hobbits and Gimili actually shorter pez dispensers? was the gandalf one taller? maybe it was just the heads and the way they had them lined up that threw me off.
-
and no Boromir! shame!
-
to appeal to maquette/bust buyers? these are almost so detailed (but badly) they undo the basic-ness that has always been a pez head likeness.
-
Nov. 29, 2011, 11:45 a.m. CST
Google, geez wait for your geek buddies. They're usually more reliable.
by Grammaton Cleric Binks
But yes they come in different heights with the hobbits and Gollum being shorter.
-
The CGI may not be complete yet, but I saw a camera-phone capture of the Lizard snarling at two girls from the Comic Con footage and the... snout, for lack of a better word... was much longer. This must represent Connors in either his early stages of mutation or mid-morphing.
-
. . . about the lack of news around here a bunch of douches. But . . . now I'm . . . fighting . . . the urge . . . . ngggghhh . . .
-
and tell him it's a Prince Charles Pez.

You people do realize that you're hating on a Pez dispenser, right?
by Mugato5150
It's time to take a long, hard look a yourselves.
-
been saying this for a year now, this movie is nothing more but hollywood making quick money out of gullible losers. You KNOW this is gunna be a big heaping stinking steamy pile of nutty brown bullshit... kids will like it...
-
Sony: Kids will eat this shit up no matter how bad it is! Have you seen the numbers for Smurfs and Chipmunks? 'Nuff said, indeed.
-
Nov. 29, 2011, 12:42 p.m. CST
mugato5150, YES. We wanted a Komodo Dragon in a lab coat, we got V.
by the Green Gargantua
Just like when we wanted an Alex Ross style Goblin and we got a "Power Ranger" villain
-
If anyone from the production is reading this... and the image of THE LIZARD you guys are making is represented by this PEZ dispencer... you are in a world of hurt. See... THE LIZARD was never about making the character look like Connors. Was this a contractual thing you did for your actor? Did you say to yourselves "We have to make the villains look like the actor for subtle acting?" Did you not want to scare the little tykes with an actual scary creature? What is going on with you guys? You're making a cross between The Hulk, Gollum and Killer Croc that has little resemblance to the actual LIZARD character. This has all been done before. I want a character that actually looks like a freakin' bad ass LIZARD. I mean freakin' look at this awesome guy!!! http://fc07.deviantart.net/fs39/f/2008/334/4/a/Spiderman_vs_the_Lizard_new_by_FritoFrito.jpg You're creating what could be the most lame humanoid villain if what I am seeing is true. Good luck with that sequel.
-
Nov. 29, 2011, 1:01 p.m. CST
want a good reference of what lizard should look like???
by fat_rancor_keeper
check mcfarlane's version from the 90's
-
It's a front 2 dimensional shot of a candy dispenser that doesn't show whether he's got a snout or not. If I was a sadder, lonelier man I would suggest that there does seem to be hints of a mouth going along the side of his cheeks that might actually suggest that he does have an elongated snout. But I'm not... Or am I? I am! Christ! And I know that there's a general downbeat attitude to AICN here these days, and it's not a shadow of the site that I first started reading and talkbacking on (on my long lost user name password combo) but I do know that if in 1998 AICN had put up an early picture of a Darth Maul Bubble bath or somesuch that a hell of a lot of you would have been doing the Snoopy Happy Dance.

Nov. 29, 2011, 1:22 p.m. CST
cushing1967 GOD can't fucking help you, he is busy in the PROMETHEUS talk backs
by the Green Gargantua
And he agrees with us, the pez is a promise of a failed design, the yellow belly/neck alone is enough to warrant spitting and name calling. Awful
-
I was asking the god of wait and see to help me - not your wrathful pez hating one :) You know - the Lizard might well look shite in the finished film, probably will as he should have a flattened head and a real primal look about him which this doesn't with the rounded cranium and stuff. And the piss stained shirt does look very wrong too. But this is a Pez Dispenser (maybe even a prototype dispenser) and I'm just happy to wait and see what the actual finished design looks like in trailers or photos. Ifans is a good actor and performance can go a long way to making what are bad designs more palatable.
-
I'm sure the Lizard in the actual movie will look a lot better than some cheap plastic Pez dispenser, but I doubt he'll look as cool as McFarlane's Lizard in Torment. Definitely a Lou Gosset Jr. Enemy Mine vibe....which kinda sucks.
-
Nov. 29, 2011, 2:27 p.m. CST
Looked on a couple other sites... This is making the rounds
by darthSaul666
This how the studio has chosen to reveal the Lizard then... Can't really blame the site for that... Yeah can't say I'm impressed with the look...
-
i guess the real reveal was that horribly fuzzy still from the teaser or whatever the hell that was.
-
He's just crazy about Pez dispensers.
-
I realize this may be an "earlier phase" of the lizard, before he grows a snout, etc... but if that's the case, then why produce merchandise that is not the "cool full-on" version? WHy release the character looking like this? My suspicion is, this is mostly how we are going to see the lizard in the film. Because the actor gets to appear more like themselves so they can emote!! Awwwwwww....
-
...stick 'em in a Spider-Man Four: Electric Boogalour plastic bubble and voilà! Well done, Hollywood, well done...
-

As much as I hate to say it, couldn't they CGI the head?
by Joaquin_Ondamoon
...at least for long & medium shots? 'Cause as a practical effect, a croc snout is gonna look like balls close up, unless there's some seroius 'shaky-cam' going on. Because you know the Pez head is gonna be what it looks like in the movie. They're not making a Pez dispenser based on a partial transformation of Connors. God, I hate myself for even posting in this "TB".
-
It is a period of civil war. Rebel spaceships, striking from a hidden base, have won their first victory against the evil Galactic Empire. During the battle, Rebel spies managed to steal secret plans to the Empire's ultimate weapon, the Death Star, an armored space station with enough power to destroy an entire planet. Pursued by the Empire's sinister agents, Princess Leia races home aboard her starship, custodian of the stolen plans that can save her people and restore freedom to the galaxy...

-
Holy shit man!!
-
...five minutes on that design. I get that it's a Pez dispenser version, but there's still not a distinctive feature on it.
-
please tell this not how Lizzard is going to look in the movie,please tell me so,please,please,please...

Grand entrance.
-
ignore that guy who said to use McFarlane's work for reference.

For "Toshiro".

Hmmm.... To smell the man, is to know the man.

Fuck this movie, absolutely no one wants it.

Fuck that, either Raimi and Co. skullfucking spidey again or a new spider-man movie
by Al
I will gladly take option 2. Spider-Man 3: NEVER FORGET!
-
From the sounds of it he is huge and monstrous like Killer Croc too. Lizard is more agile, a good opponent for Spider-Man. And he has a more Lizard-like head, which I'm sure they felt had to change so the actor could act through makeup and prosthetics. Whatever, I have never had any hope this film would be good, and seen precious little in anything released or leaked so far to change my mind.
-
seriously, looks like a big, beige bib.
-
no to chinese and orange juice. i should have taken a picture.
-
was on the SONY channel monday night right after HEAVY METAL. Peter pulls a web out of the back of his neck in one shot. Not sure if I really want to watch "this story" all over again.

Man, Spidey is my favorite superhero and I can't even get excited for this
by skycrapper
I figure if Sony can make me, a huge Spidey fan, go "meh" on all of this, then something has gone terribly wrong. I hope this is not the case, but I don't think it is.
-
Does this mean the long-awaited Kraven the Klingon Hunter is coming to fruition?
-
He does look like that but has a longer snout. Not as Long as in the comics but longer then that pez dispenser.
-
Make the villans look like they do in the comic books then everybody will be happy. Its so simple!!

-
Give Spidey a tache and watch him bounce....
-
I actually like the body and think it works pretty well. The bummer is the face. It's completely devoid of anything memorable. Just a green face. No interesting features, nothing to stick in your brain. Blah.
