Toying Around Reviews - Spider-Gwen
Marvel Legends Absorbing Man Series
Spider-Gwen
Today we will be taking a look at the Marvel Legends Spider-Gwen, if you are not sure who Spider-Gwen is, well she is from a different reality (Earth-65). On this earth, Gwen was bitten by the spider, not Peter. Shortly after Gwen begins fighting crime, Peter Parker attempts to exact revenge on those who bullied him, becoming this universe's version of the Lizard. In a battle with the Lizard, Gwen was able to subdue him, but Peter dies towards the end of the battle due to the chemical he used. Spider-Woman is blamed for his death, causing an outcry for her arrest, led by J. Jonah Jameson.
Well now that we have a little back story on Spider-Gwen lets take a look at the new figure

Final Thoughts:
So overall I love this Spider-Gwen, she was very had for me to find, but I’m glad I did at last. She has a nice amount of Articulation and it is awesome that she comes with Gwen's head. Some changeable hands would have been nice as well but well. very happy and glad we can add her to our Spider-Verse collection.
