[Trivial Psychic]

I've made it no secret that while I'm not a huge fan of Spider-Gwen, I do dig the design and especially like some of the subtle changes that were made to it for the Spider-Verse movie, so I went ahead and managed to pick up the two pack version loose on Ebay for about 12 bucks.



At first glance, it doesn't look like there is much difference, but up close, it becomes more apparent. The most obvious change is the painted laces on her ankles for the ballet style pointe shoes that she wears in the movie. The line work on the hips is different, and is placed higher on the torso and doesn't extend into the legs like the Sandman version. The black pattern that flows over the breasts is also much wider than the original. The mask has less of the pink around the eyes and is a bit more red in color, while the unmasked head sculpt has more muted tones along with more of a nude look to it. The line work on the webbing is a bit cleaner as well.



Overall...I actually prefer this re-release of the figure over the original. About the only gripes that I can come up with is the lack of swappable hands, the lack of newly sculpted feet (pointe shoes are much more narrow than your typical shoe and have a box toe) and the reused unmasked headsculpt that is inaccurate to the film. I didn't let that hinder me, so I worked out my own compromise for a closer look to the on screen character, and I am quite happy with how it came out. I may dump my Sandman wave Gwen altogether in favor of this one, and I hope this look finds its way into the comics at some point if it hasn't already.
