What am I missing on this Spidey?

[timb]

Why is this apparently sub-par Spidey up to $41? Is it a variant of some kind?

Looks to me like a fairly new bidder is just getting carried up in a bidding war. Something they will regret after they realize that is like a $10 Spiderman.

For a foreign bidder, this is still "normal". Unfortunately....

Seriously! Ouch!

I saw that auction too. Even more mind boggling is that the suit is in terrible shape.

Now see, I am with your thought process. The suit is horrible, repairable, but horrible. I suppose maybe a diminished availability overseas drives up the prices, but c'mon man! There must be better specimens than this one available.

I don't really get it either. You see much nicer Spideys go for this price or less all the time.

Its the the crotchless version, apparently goes down well the ladies

Rik is right, better specimens are hard to find here. Can't even find a decent loose Kirk or Spock

Wow, sorry to hear that. Where is Belgium again?

You know I'm kidding you. I've seen it on the map...it's orange.
