review by james hanson

the desription: This figures features the Spider-Man in his now famous (or infamous depending on your view point) black costume. It is heavily articulated having about 15 points of articulation more or less. It comes with a wall mountable base that features the black symbiote and a pipe and is a grey brick wall. It also comes with a reprint of Amazing Spider-Man # 252, where Spider-Man wears his black costume in his own book for the first time.

the review: While a mostly black figure can't really boast being heavily detailed, this is a phenomenal figure, especially if you're like me and think the black costume is the best thing since an egg white omelet, you'll want this figure. It looks absolutely great and is dead on, capturing the essence of the black Spidey costume. The black symbiote on the mount is a great touch. The biggest complaint is that with the wall mount you need a clear plastic handle which holds up Spider-Man if you decide to put him on your wall. It takes away from the walkin' on walls thing and looks cumbersome. That's still a minor gripe, this figure is the shiznitz! Also, I question putting Spidey 252 in with this figure--wouldn't putting the Secret Wars in which Spider-Man first received the symbiote better explain stuff? Another minor gripe and really more of a personal opinion. This figure is perfect for the fans of the Black Spider-Man.
