I pretty much forgot about these until a reader of Superherohype (http://www.superherohype.com/spider-man/index.php?id=931) sent our link in as a scoop, but in our gobs of pictures from Toy Fair, two of them contain new pics from the Spider-Man 2 movie.
Why oh why wasn't Bruce Campbell cast as Dr. Octopus. Why doesn't Raimi give his pal the break he deserves??

He's actually played by that guy in Raiders who tries to sneak off with the idol at the beginning. "No time to argue. Throw me the idol, I throw you the whip." (Seriously, that's him.)

I remember him best as "Angel" in Maverick, but he certainly does have a lot of roles under his belt:
