Marvel Legends Spider-Gwen Action Figure Review

Hi Everyone,

Today I received the brand new Spider-Gwen action figure, ordered from Orbital Comics. The figure is from the Marvel Legends' Spider-Man Infinite Series 3 and is captioned 'Edge of Spider-Verse' on the box.

• The back of the box features the other figures included in the series.
• It also shows how to build the Absorbing Man.

The Packaging

• When I took the figure out of the packaging I was really excited to see her.
• The figure is very light to hold.
• Unfortunately the joints of the figure are not flexible. I find it very hard to move her knees and her elbows.

 

The Costume - Front View

• The design of the figure is spot on. The costume has been recreated perfectly!

The Costume with Wrecking Ball

• As I do not wish to build the Absorbing Man, the wrecking ball is a bit of an awkward accessory to have. However, it can be quite fun if you wish to swing around Spider-Gwen.

 

Accessories

• The accessories include a Gwen Stacy head and a lowered hood.

 

Gwen Stacy Head - Front and Back

• I did not enjoy pulling off the head in order to replace it but it was quite easily done and definitely worth it. I think the Gwen Stacy head looks really cool!



 

 

On Display

• Spider-Gwen does not come with a stand so it takes a bit of balance to display her.
• I have matched her up with a Silver Age Gwen Stacy action figure and a previous Marvel Legends Spider-Man figure. Spidey is a lot taller than Spider-Gwen!



 

 

 

 

Overall, I really like the Spider-Gwen action figure! The costume is perfect and her accessories are very cool. The only thing that could possibly improve the figure is if she was a bit more flexible and if a stand was included.

 

Spider-Gwen is a hot new figure and this is making her quite expensive online!

Spider-Gwen's New First Appearance?

Hi Everyone,

Long time, no blog post.

This morning my Dad was shopping for some Spider-Gwen variants for my Christmas presents and he found an eBay seller listing Hawkeye vs. Deadpool #0 as Spider-Gwen's first appearance.

Now, most of us think that Spider-Gwen first appeared in Edge of Spider-Verse #2. However, Hawkeye vs. Deadpool #0 was released on 3rd September, 2014 and features a Spider-Gwen and lady Thor cameo. Spider-Gwen then fully appeared in the Edge of Spider-Verse #2 which was released on 17th September, 2014.

Pretty cool, right?

Gwen the Duck

Hi Everyone,

All I can say about this Howard the Duck #4 variant is hahahahahahaha! 😂 

                           

It has done the cover to Edge of Spider-Verse #2 proud! 

The Howard the Duck #4 'Gwen the Duck' variant is part of a Marvel variant month where Gwen Stacy takes over the roles of many Marvel characters. For example, we have Iron Gwen, Gwoot and G.W.E.N.D.O.K. I'm not going to be collecting a lot of these covers just because they scare me. They're a little creepy but it shows Marvel has a wonderful sense of humour! However I will absolutely be picking up this one, it's just brilliant! 

Howard the Duck #4 will be shipping on 24th June, 2015. The cover is by Jason Latour, writer of the Spider-Gwen series!

The Comic Bug - Edge of Spider-Verse #2

Hi Everyone!

I have been meaning to post this for a while but now Free Comic Book Day has come and gone it seems like a good time to do it. This is because if you were not able to attend the Comic Bug FCBD Convention in California, this amazing Edge of Spider-Verse #2 exclusive cover has recently hit the internet!

The first appearance of Gwen Stacy as Earth-65's Spider-Woman is featured in this issue. It is a very hot book with five prints and one very expensive Greg Land 1:25 variant.

The cover has been drawn by Siya Oum and the colour edition is limited to 3000 copies while the black and white is limited to 1500 copies.


1) Colour

• The colour has sold out on the Comic Bug eBay store! Over 50 were sold since being listed on Monday for $25.

2) Black and White

• The black and white cover is still available from the Comic Bug eBay store.
• It is for sale at $40.
• Only 6 are available and 9 have sold in the last 24 hours.
• 26 people are currently watching the comic and 15 people have viewed it in the last hour.

There is a set of the two covers currently on eBay with 16 bids. The current price is $82 which just shows how popular this variant is!

It is a very hot book and for a Spider-Gwen collector it is a very significant issue!

Thanks for reading,
Ellie :)

Dynamic Forces Spider-Gwen #1

As I have been away in Florida for two weeks I have come home to a lot of awesome post. I received a lot of great Spider-Gwen variants and the one I will like to share with you all is my Dynamic Forces exclusive sketch by Ken Haeser done on a blank cover of Spider-Gwen #1.

Post Haul!

As I pre-ordered this limited edition comic I was lucky enough to buy it for $65 instead of it's retail price of around $110. The price of $65 was set as a tribute to Gwen Stacy's first appearance in 1965.

Each sketch done by Haeser was different so this is a very unique item. I really love it! :)

The comic book comes sealed by a DF sticker and a certificate of authenticity. It is no longer available to order.
