Spider-Man as played by Nicholas Hammond in The Amazing Spider-Man (TV series-1977)
The Amazing Spider-Man is the first live-action TV series based on the popular comic book The Amazing Spider-Man, not counting Spider-Man's appearances on the educational The Electric Company series, and was shown in the USA between 1977-1979. It consisted of 13 episodes, which included a pilot movie in the fall of 1977. None of the episodes are available on DVD, but almost all of them have been released on VHS. Despite being set in New York City, the series was mostly filmed in Los Angeles.
This version of Spider-man has been on my to-do list for years. To say that my dear friend Matt Jaycox motivated me to complete this custom is an understatement. I would say he more or less challenged me to complete this custom. With his constant (but always lighthearted) pestering this custom was never too far from the front of my mind.
When Diamond Select released their Spider-Man retro figure pack almost all of the pieces were in place. The boots, web-shooter, and belt were exactly what was needed. I was able to design and print a suit resembling the one from the TV show as well. The only thing left that really defines this version of Spidey were his eyes. How were we going to tackle those beautifully shiny eyes.
Enter Lasermego.com (pmwasson)! Paul was able to make the eyes as close to the show version as possible AND make them overlay the eyes on new DST Spider-man head. Finally, it all came together!
Presenting, for the first time in public, my custom Nicholas Hammond Spider-Man:

I am unsure if there were any costumed villains on the show so I posed him with the Fly Twins and Doc Ock. If Somebody wants to suggest a villain from the show for me to make, please let me know. I'd love to add one to his Rogues Gallery.
Group shot of some of my various Spider-man customs and original Megos:
I hope you enjoy my customs as much as I do, and, as always, thanks for looking!
Peace, Love, and Megos!
