Spider-Man. Spider-Man. He has the oddest costume variation of any mutated human. Can he look like cringe from 1990? Yes, he can … by crickey? Does that work as a rhyme?
Spider-Man is no stranger to weird costumes. Of course, we’re not talking strictly about Peter Parker’s alter-ego. His clone had a strange costume when he was introduced, too. All red with a blue sleeveless hoodie and ankle pouches? Really?
Today we’re looking at a new Toy Fair exclusive. Hot Toys is going to be giving us a real obscure Spidey suit that had a short run in 1990 and then went more or less forgotten until it popped up in a recent video game.
Over at Figures.com, we got all the details about the Cyber Spider-Man costume. It’s quite retro if you remember the cybernetics obsession in comics during the ’90s.
- Newly developed masked head sculpt with LED light up left eye (green light, battery operated)
- (3) interchangeable right eye pieces that can create different combinations of Spider-Man’s expressions
- (10) pieces of interchangeable hands including:
- (1) pair of fists
- (1) pair of opened hands
- (1) pair of web shooting hands
- (1) pair of cobweb swinging hands
- (1) pair of gesture hands
The cyber suit is a callback to Spider-Man issue 21 from 1990. An injured Spidey is “repaired” and fitted with a cybernetic arm and a load of those pouches. Pouches and metal arms were huge in the early ’90s comic books. Artist Erik Larsen could draw some amazing-looking metallic appendages during his time at MARVEL Comics.
What should other outfits from Spider-Man’s history get their own Hot Toys figure? Multi-arm Spidey? Fisherman Spidey? Yes, it exists. Let us know in the comments.
