Hi-Res Images Of "The Lizard" Bust Give Us Our Best Look At The Villain Yet

On display at the 2012 Toy Fair in New York, these fantastic hi-res images of The Amazing Spider-Man busts offer up a very detailed look at the Lizard, seemingly revealing that he won't have the trademark sharp teeth seen in the comic books.

The Amazing Spider-Man is the story of Peter Parker (Garfield), an outcast high schooler who was abandoned by his parents as a boy, leaving him to be raised by his Uncle Ben (Sheen) and Aunt May (Field). Like most teenagers, Peter is trying to figure out who he is and how he got to be the person he is today. Peter is also finding his way with his first high school crush, Gwen Stacy (Stone), and together, they struggle with love, commitment, and secrets. As Peter discovers a mysterious briefcase that belonged to his father, he begins a quest to understand his parents' disappearance - leading him directly to Oscorp and the lab of Dr Curt Connors (Ifans), his father's former partner. As Spider-Man is set on a collision course with Connors' alter-ego, The Lizard, Peter will make life-altering choices to use his powers and shape his destiny to become a hero.


Fans have already been forced to accept that the Lizard in The Amazing Spider-Man will resemble the original Steve Ditko creation rather than the more monstrous version seen in comic books since, but these fantastic new photos courtesy of Cool Toy Review reveal even more details about how he'll look in the movie. Possibly the most disappointing aspect of this design is how, well, normal his teeth look! Unless he undergoes one final mysterious transformation in the movie, it looks like this is the version we'll see on the big screen. Personally, I'm ok with that, but how do you feel about this design? Sound off with your thoughts in the usual place.





















STARRING:

Andrew Garfield as Peter Parker/Spider-Man
Emma Stone as Gwen Stacy
Rhys Ifans as Curt Connors/The Lizard
Martin Sheen as Uncle Ben
Sally Fields as Aunt May
Denis Leary as George Stacy

but where is the snout!! ;)
ComicsCommando - 2/14/2012, 9:56 AM
What's wrong with his teeth? They're not sharp enough. Hope they aren't like that in the movie.
MrReese - 2/14/2012, 9:57 AM
^^^ God Bless U Tea XD
LMFA0 - 2/14/2012, 10:05 AM
@commando
Hes a lizard not an alligator. They dont normally have very long snouts and dont normally have long sharp teeth
comicb00kguy - 2/14/2012, 10:05 AM
He looks like Killer Croc from the old Batman cartoon. Or like Goomba from Super Mario Brothers.

I like Tea's Lizard bust a lot better.
LAWLZY96 - 2/14/2012, 10:06 AM
I hope he wears a lab-coat in at least one scene.
yeoldeemoney - 2/14/2012, 10:06 AM
@tea Do you seriously have an external hard drive full of boobs pics? I wonder what your fap folders must be like. Probably the biggest pornucopia in the world.
Stumblin - 2/14/2012, 10:06 AM
I don't understand how anyone can say this doesn't look at least Ditko inspired.
merrillmind - 2/14/2012, 10:08 AM
Lizard looks perfect in my opinion. Webb and his movie team really put alot of great detail into the character design,always preffered no snout like Ditkos Lizard or Batmans killer croc,cant wait to see what the HotToys figures for this movie look like.
Wildaniel - 2/14/2012, 10:08 AM
The 2 last pictures of Spiderman and The Lizard are AWESOME!!!
JeffBridges - 2/14/2012, 10:08 AM
You mad, bro?
SeaSerpentine - 2/14/2012, 10:08 AM
Even though I like the Lizard's appearance, his face reminds me of Earl Sinclair from "Dinosaurs".
Wildaniel - 2/14/2012, 10:10 AM
Has anyone been following the viral site markofthespiderman? I went to the first location in Atlanta but I got there too late.
prettynuclear2 - 2/14/2012, 10:11 AM
you couldn't ask for a better lizard. this is live action, not a cartoon.
SUPERMAN2013 - 2/14/2012, 10:11 AM
Some lizards dont have teeth at all,depends what type of lizard he used to grow back his arm
Autobot - 2/14/2012, 10:12 AM
I WANT, I WANT, I WANT!!!!!!
PapaMidnight - 2/14/2012, 10:12 AM
Seems like a regular reptilian humanoid to me. Take a look:

You can see the lizard scratch mark all over Spidermans chest in the bust holding his mask.
thewolfx - 2/14/2012, 10:14 AM
his teeth arent even sharp




HelaGood - 2/14/2012, 10:14 AM
wanted it to look more like the Zorgons in Zathura...



but it looks... meh....

i will still wait to see what it looks like in the theater.
Mysterion - 2/14/2012, 10:15 AM
who cares about his teeth....WHERES HIS HELMET????
SeaSerpentine - 2/14/2012, 10:16 AM
I wonder if David Icke will see this movie.
PapaMidnight - 2/14/2012, 10:16 AM
Hela, me too! Perfect example.
NeoBaggins - 2/14/2012, 10:19 AM
Facepalm fuel.
merrillmind - 2/14/2012, 10:19 AM
And also the smaller scale toys in the last pics look cool clear size difference between spidey and the lizard just like in the trailer when they go into the water,cant wait gonna be a great movie.
checkmate3010 - 2/14/2012, 10:20 AM
Some of the people here are so dumb...

The reason the Lizard looks the way he does in this movie is so that it looks believable when he talks. Otherwise, if he talks while he has a big snout and ridiculous teeth, it'll just look cartoony.

If he does evolve into the snout monster, I hope he doesn't talk at all in that stage.
MovieMann - 2/14/2012, 10:22 AM
DITKO!!!
merrillmind - 2/14/2012, 10:23 AM
@thewolfx wow thats a dumb reaction if you read classic comics like Ditkos legendary run on Spider-Man you would know they nailed the design,he isn't an alligator or shark besides no lab coat which wouldnt be pratical he looks phenomenal one of the best comics to film translations ever.
NeoBaggins - 2/14/2012, 10:23 AM
Apples beware; this mutha[frick]a got a mouth full pretty good, um, people teeth?
Wildaniel - 2/14/2012, 10:24 AM
So how about that comic con footage of The Lizard? He has a snout, or is it another lizard from his army? LOL. Im guessing they decided not to go with a snout.
xXkryptoniteXx - 2/14/2012, 10:24 AM
@Helagood

Dont you wish favarou did this movie???
I can't wait to see this movie and this lizard is actually a cross breed look with the old and new. Old one with face new one with no clothes or somewhat a cross breed. In the final transformation he'll probably have that lizard face that people want, comic con teaser showed it already so it's expected.
DylansMyDog - 2/14/2012, 10:25 AM
@Mysterion Haha genius
TheGreenRanger - 2/14/2012, 10:26 AM
BOO, WHO CARES. Movie is going to blow anyway.
TheAmazingChrisReeve63 - 2/14/2012, 10:26 AM
Wow. Very Ditko-inspired. I like that. Maybe with future Spidey movies, we'll probably see him growing and evolving more and more into the Lizard that we know with the elongated snout and sharp teeth. Just like how the Lizard when he first appeared, he started out having that humanoid-look to him, then further on he evolves into the reptilian, long-snout, Lizard that we mostly know of.
But, that's what I think Sony will do with Lizard further on in future Spidey movies (that is, of course, if he'll star as the Lizard again).

@tea - LoL, you just made my day. Man, where in the hell do you get all of these hot pics? I salute you, good sir. Keep them pics coming. :D
MrReese - 2/14/2012, 10:26 AM


Todd McFarlane FTW!!! XD
thewolfx - 2/14/2012, 10:27 AM
@merrillmind

spare me with your pathetic damage control


this is supposed to be a modern take on the spiderman mythos

so why the [frick] would they not make lizard look menacing

i dont really care if he has a snout our not (even though the snout is much cooler) they give him dentures and not creepy little lizard teeth.


heres a tip though before you make yourself look stupid you might wanna look first .

@checkmate3010

Most people here don't care about the logistics of things.
They just want everything to be ripped straight from the pages of their favorite comics, they still don't realize that film is a totally different medium.
If you want the long snout, go read the comics.
Unas - 2/14/2012, 10:28 AM
Apocalips Lizard
Fogs - 2/14/2012, 10:29 AM
Hmm... this isn't helping to make me interested in this movie.
Odin - 2/14/2012, 10:29 AM
Thats killer croc, not lizard. Spiderman costume is terrible, since when has spiderman had yellow eyes.
merrillmind - 2/14/2012, 10:30 AM
Just think if Bane even ended up looking closeTLizard is still a giant lizard unlike bane who is always a massived juiced up baddie in comics but seemily not going to end up very big at all. What I'll never understand is Nolans bane has a mask that takes away any way of reconizing Hardy so why didn't he have different size men wear the mask leading up to a very massive muscular body builder and just dub in Hardys voice? Would have looked great I mean has anyone here seen pics of most world champion body builders they exist and wouldve worked in Nolans real-world film.
Sanderman - 2/14/2012, 10:31 AM
looks good to me
Tonic24k - 2/14/2012, 10:33 AM
Not feelin the yellow eyes. Looks like he's got jaundice.
Growler - 2/14/2012, 10:34 AM
I like the way that whoever sculpted the bust got the essence of Rhys Ifans' features in there.
Looks great to me.
superotherside - 2/14/2012, 10:35 AM
It's okay. I would have liked the final version with the snout but it's okay the way it is. I'd have liked him with the lab coat, I know giant lizards don't wear lab coats but still it disturbs me that he's technically naked... that is just...
rbfn04 - 2/14/2012, 10:35 AM
And a Joker smile.

I love the "yeah, he looks like Ditko's cool. Waht about the lab coat? Nah, wouldn't be practical" ROFL. C'mon, this Lizards is shitty, thi costume is shittty, Hipster Peter is shitty.
OdinsBeard - 2/14/2012, 10:37 AM
do the orange eyes on spidey bother anyone else?
thewolfx - 2/14/2012, 10:38 AM
they bother the [frick] outta me odinsbeard
rbfn04 - 2/14/2012, 10:39 AM
What the piss eyes? Yep, bother me. So does the poor redesign in the costume
AsianVersionOfET - 2/14/2012, 10:41 AM
I LOVE Spider-Man's suit.
