Hyperreal Superhero Figurines

Hot Toys Created a Life-Size Spider-Man for the Amazing Spider-Man 2

— May 7, 2014 — Life-Stages
The Amazing Spider-Man 2 is set to release at midnight tonight and if you are a die-hard fan and want to cosplay at the theater, this suit from Hot Toys would be perfect for your spidey-debut. Unfortunately, it belongs to the life-like figurine wearing it. So, you could always just bring your spidey-friend along with you—Marvel fans are bound to be extremely envious.

Hot Toys has made life-like figurines in the past, but never any in the likes of Peter Parker’s secret identity. This Spider-Man is a movie-accurate 1/6th scale collectible figurine and comes highly detailed with a figure stand that features a flexible pillar for posing. It also comes with six pairs of interchangeable palms – some stick to cobwebs and others feature real-life apparel like winter jackets and scarves.
