Black Costume Spider-Man - Secret Wars

I have loved the Black Spider-Man Costume since the moment I saw it. It's so simple, but very dramatic. Because of this I have always wanted to own the Secret Wars figure. I looked at him several times when I was a teenager when I first got back into collecting toys after a short hiatus. He was always pretty expensive at this one toy dealer I'd go to. So I always put my money towards Vintage Star Wars figures instead. Well, I saw this guy at Wizard World Philly and had to get him. This figure is in amazing shape.


Now I finally have both Secret Wars Spider-Man figures. I really should try to pick up some more of these characters sometime. Like all the figures from the line he has five points of articulation and a very basic sculpt. All his details (and he doesn't have many) are painted on. Spidey has one oven hand and one closed fits. His legs are pre-posed. This makes him always look ready for action.

  1. I like this one, the red and blue one as well as the Baron Zemo from the line. As a kid my favorite one to use with during play sessions was Kang who fought both my Sgt. Rock and G.I. Joe Breaker figures.

  3. I loved the Secret Wars figures. It's odd that they don't quite get the love that Super Powers does. I thought these guys were the coolest. I kept an Iron Man forever. I'm not sure when I lost him, but I remember losing him as a kid for several years in a shed. When I refound him in the old shed, I about flipped. Suddenly Iron Man was back in my adventures.

    Not sure how I ever lost him again. I've always wanted to rebuy a SW Iron Man since then. Alas, I've yet to do it. Always too expensive.
