    DST Amazing Spider-Man redux before and after pics

    Picked up this awesome new 8" figure from the new movie.

    The good, AMAZING sculpt. The bad, HORRIBLE paint.

    The red is pale, the blue is way too light, and don't even get me started on those orange eyes.

    SOOO...I decided to go all out movie accurate. Repainted all the blue to the correct shade with the reflective quality it has on-screen.
    Eyes were done with a mix of gloss black and gold and look 100% accurate to the screen. They look black until the light hits them just right and shows the gold lenses and blue frames. Detailed the webshooters and silver toe/heel detail on the boots. Went over the red plastic with transparent red paint to intesify the color, and viola!

            Great paints, enyawd. It's a shame the sculpt and the figure are still, IMHO, pretty crappy....
            sigpic Oh then, what's this? Big flashy lighty thing, that's what brought me here! Big flashy lighty things have got me written all over them. Not actually. But give me time. And a crayon.

              Nicely done, sir!

No signed paper can hold the iron. It must come from men. The words of Ten Bears carries the same iron of life and death. It is good that warriors such as we meet in the struggle of life... or death. It shall be life."

                  Wow, that is MUCH better. I saw a Hasbro variant Spidey from the "Comic Series" in the new movie packaging that had that same pale blue. What is the deal with that?

                  Again, nice work!

                    You really nailed it. Great job!

                    Where did you get the figure btw? I've been looking everywhere. All I've found are 3 3/4 figures that were just recycled from older Spidy lines and 8 inch non-posing figures.
