A wonderful Spidey stop-motion animation. Took me ages to find it after the last I saw it couple of years ago. Made by Xipster for that year's SDCC (San Diego Comic Convention).
Love the smooth and realistic web slinging action, not to mention the Aerosmith's version of "Spider-Man" song. If you pay attention, you will notice the seamless transition of the 6 inch movie Spidey to the 18 inch movie Spidey and back.
Enjoy!

Toy Review - SIC Movie Realization Spider-Man and Black Spider-Man
Bandai has been very successful with the toy line of Super Imaginative Chogokin (SIC) based on characters created by the late Ishinomori Shotaro. The success saw a number of spin-off toy lines. In 2004, SIC Movie Realization was created as a form of SIC reinterpretation of movie characters which includes characters like Devilman and Masked Rider.
SIC are very good with highly articulated action figures so if you put two and two together, you will soon realise that they would make a very good Spidey figure. Indeed they did just that, and in this review, we will be looking at the SIC Movie Realization Spider-Man and Black Spider-Man 2-pack.
This is in fact my first set of SIC figures and I am pretty sure many Spidey fans who do not own any SIC figures might actually pick up this set. Let’s get going then!

Toy Review - Spider-Man Unleashed 360°
It’s been a while since my last toy review. Recently, Hasbro has released a Unleashed 360° movie Spider-Man figures boasting of “Ultimate Posability”. Let us have a look at the Spidey figure and see how it fares on my chart.

Custom - Broken Peg Fix on Anniversary Spawn
Backdated entry. A little ashamed actually, promised a good friend of mine > 6 months ago to fix his Anniversary Spawn for him.
By the way, I will be giving a detailed description of what I did. So to start with, what is wrong with it? Here is a pic of it after being fixed. So sorry I did not take any WIP because I didn't know if what I did will work or not.

Custom - Broken Peg Fix on Marvel Select Black Spidey
Ok, not really a custom but another figure fix of mine...
I broke the right arm of my Marvel Select Black Spidey sometime back. Had a bit of a heartache as it is the first Marvel figure which broke on me and it had to be a Spidey...

Toy Review - SMC 14 Buzzing Beetle
Since the last review on Mysterio, there had been a good influx of Spider-Man wave. Singapore is honoured to be the first country to be receiving assortment 14. In this wave, there are 2 villains, namely Buzzing Beetle and a repainted version of Scorpion. I shall cover the former in this review. This is possibly the first review of Beetle worldwide! =)
I know Beetle, one of the oldest villains our fave webhead had to face but seeing this figure, I cannot seem to refer him to any Beetle I know of. Just some history on this character if you are not familiar with him, (data quoted from http://www.spiderfan.org/):
Abner Jenkins was a skilled factory mechanic. However, he had other plans, constructing a sticky-fingered battle suit with flight capabilities in order to become a master thief. Early run-ins with Spider-Man and Daredevil convinced him that he needed power as well, resulting in a sleeker battle suit with more offensive capabilities and greater strength.

[added] I manage to find the reference art Toy Biz (probably) used. Its the Thunderbolts Beetle as shown in the comic cover below. And I must say it is (very) comic accurate so kudos to Toy Biz, though I wonder why they did not go for a more classic (and more commonly known) armour.
