Here's another good one. I was picking up a lot of odds and ends in the Fall of 2010 and sale pricing pushed me in the direction of Hasbro's 3 3/4-inch Spider-Man line which, on the whole, is a kid-driven mess. If you want a Ninja Spider-Man, it exists in this line. There are also other characters, but not many-- Green Goblin (along with Rhino, Doc Ock, Venom, Hobgoblin, and Carnage) may be overlooked in the glut of 2010.
Norman Osborne's first alter-ego checks in at 12 points of articulation, and a design that's closer to the best of modern Star Wars and not Marvel Universe. Check out all the ball joints, the bright colors, and that awesome pumpkin bomb. It's a little squishy and he can hold it in his hand without pegs or fear of dropping it... so far, anyway. He has a great range of motion, but the head is all over the place. I examined several of these before I realized that "good ones" actually exist-- the eyes are often wonky. Be sure to examine yours before purchase. 
Green Goblin has no problem standing on his glider, which has holes in the bottom which can connect with the web accessories included with some other figures. I found it awkward but I really enjoyed this figure overall, the scaley, freaky, retro dude-in-a-mask even has a removable satchel for added awesomeness. Just be warned, the figure's bag "stuck" to his side because of the paint, so you may experience some minor frustration in getting him up to snuff after removing him from his very colorful packaging. This was a pleasant surprise.
