My general meaning though is that writers and artists have switched between suits, but still have him wear his classic costume most of the time. Unlike back in the day where he lasted quite awhile wearing the black symbiote suit or Ben Reilly was Spidey.

Thanks man. I knew the FF suit was made out of unstable molecules and could change design, I didn't know it could change color.

Man I though Kaine was dead..? I can't believe he just gave that shit away.

I remember back in the day, Spidey would go to Europe and all he would have was his symbiote suit. He would walk around in Paris in like black paints and a white button up, and as soon as shit happened, morphed.

It's actually kinda badass.

I always refer to that suit as his diamond armor.

I don't even know who Kaine is....character spoiler!! lol

Alchemist559 · 08-17-2012, 08:54 AM

Is this the same jubilee sculpt from the figure? If it is, it looks much better unpainted.

Alchemist559 · 08-17-2012, 09:02 AM

Also does anyone remember the website for the guy that had cheap head sculpts? It was like a new site that had tons for cheap, not onyx, not glassman, someone else. Sombody posted it here and it is now lost in the pages.

He's a jacked up looking clone of Spidey from the Clone Saga with the Jackal. Another villain we never see in plastic.

Yeah, that's just a cast of it, it's actually a great head sculpt, the issue is that for some reason the factory has screwed to pooch on painting them.

Not sure if you know this, but Kaine is the new Scarlet Spider...

Kaine is one of the clones of Spider-Man created by the Jackal. Ben Reilly (Scarlet Spider) was a clone as well. Back in the 90s, there were a bunch of clones made of Spider-Man. It was a complicated story line and I really don't want to try and get into it right now lol.

New avatar. What you guys think???

Did you guys figure out yet that I like Cable...

synapse17 · 08-17-2012, 11:12 AM

I like the new Avatar.

In regards to Scarlet Spider, I haven't read the series yet but I do have issues #1 and #2. I have to go to my local shop and pick up my "pulls" for the last 4 months to get the remaining issues. My LCS is cool - I show up 3-4 times a year to get all of my "pulls" and they are totally fine with that ha ha. Anyways, all I know about the new Scarlet Spider is that it's Kaine and I think he's in Texas or something.

Reaver Strike · 08-17-2012, 11:26 AM

Who's looking for a King Laufey?

I don't quite understand that one either .... Just checked and I was right - he's in Houston. Apparently he's hiding out or something? I dunno - I need to go read these issues I guess.

Hey guys. Made stupid mistake while making customs today. Wrecked an X-factor Jean Grey (green x uniform). If anyone's got one for sale or trade, please hit me up. I'd really appreciate it. Longer shot still, but if anyone's got an extra phoenix I could use one of those too.
Thanks a bunch gang!
