This one was a labor of love for me, and a project I've had floating around in my mind for a long time.

For the Spider-Man books, I've always been a bit more of a fan of Harry Osborn as the Green Goblin than I was of Norman in the role. Some people see Harry as second fiddle to old man Norman, but while Harry had died by the time I was 4 years old, I grew up on my dad's back issues. I *loved* the complicated history between Harry, Liz, Mark, Peter, and MJ. Harry's confrontations with Peter just seemed much more... personal than they ever were with Norman, especially since... well, let's face it, aside from the secret identity thing, Norman really had nothing to do with Peter's life outside of his dealings with Harry. Harry ALSO knew Peter's secret identity, but there was also personal torment because he was also Peter's friend. And they've TRIED to do some weird father-son dynamic with Norman and Peter since his resurrection... but to me, it just wasn't as strong as what we'd gotten with Harry.

So if I was gonna do a large scale Spider-Man shelf, having a Harry Osborn was a must for me. But rather than do the cliche "Here's a second Green Goblin figure, and I shall name it Harry" thing, I wanted to have a Harry that was visually distinct from his father, similar to what was done in "Clone Conspiracy." To accomplish that goal, I took the head from the original ML Green Goblin, and trimmed the ears down so they'd be more in line with the smaller ears used on Harry's mask. I then used a Scarlet Spider figure to give him the same lean body type as Peter, with a bit of sculpting to give the hint of scalemail like with the other goblins. It was a ton of work to do, but I wanted to distinguish him from the future Green Goblin figure that I knew was inevitable as soon as Hobgoblin came out. I then went out of my way to choose colors that were accurate to Harry's appearance in the comics, but also contrasted against the darker, muddier take on Norman.

The result is a Green Goblin that, at least in my mind, fully captures the Harry Osborn version of the character.
