Two new additions to my BootLEGO Spider-Ladies collection (which previously only consisted of Silk) - Spider-Gwen and Spider-Woman!
Spider-Gwen is all the rage now, so of course when I spotted this bootLEGO I had to have her. I know nothing about her except (I think) she's an alternate universe version of Gwen Stacy that was bit by the radioactive spider instead of (in addition to?) Peter Parker. The minifig is pretty basic design applications but I do appreciate the 'extra mile' they went in adding the design to the 'inside' of the hood. I've never seen LEGO do that.
LEGO made Spider-Woman as an ultra-low-quantity Comic Con exclusive, so it's nice to see her as an ultra-low-price BootLEGO.
Spider-Woman has two facial expressions and even came with a 'web' accessory. Spider-Gwen came with a couple useless pieces that represent who knows what, and a gun because bang bang. Both came with a stand.
Both of these bootLEGO ladies are of unknown origin but are on the high end of the bootLEGO quality scale. I definitely recommend them if you're tired of your Spider-Man themed LEGO minifig collection being nothing but a sausagefest.

BootLEGO Silk Minifigure by Sheng Yuan
Three of my favorite things about BootLEGO minifigures:
1) They are inexpensive as f*%(k.
2) You can get obscure characters that LEGO will likely never make.
3) Did I mention how inexpensive they are?
To wit: This Silk minifigure cost me a grand total of thirty eight cents. That includes shipping from the other side of the planet. INCONCEIVABLE!
Also: Silk. I don't know much about Silk, other than she's a Spider-Man ally with the same powers as Peter Parker (apparently she was bitten by the same spider that bit Petey shortly after he gained his extraordinary powers.) Silk is a pretty unlikely minifigure to ever grace an official LEGO set, and I am always down for female superheroes, especially female Spider-verse superheroes (Silk being the first one I am aware of) so I simply could not resist adding her to my collection.
Did I mention she cost me a whopping 38 cents?
Silk is manufactured by Sheng Yuan, a bootLEGO company that has, in my experience, always produced a quality product.
Silk comes with your standard Sheng Yuan base (not shown), a spider and a simple web stand/build. I really like the spider and web piece as they fit well into any Spider-Man themed build. It's nice to get accessories/extra parts that aren't random and useless.
Silk's hair piece is a bit rougher than usual, not the smooth/shiny quality of a standard LEGO hairpiece but more a rough/muted plastic type. It does give her hair a nice dulled texture, although the piece also has an extra hole on the right side - I assume this hairpiece may have been derived/ripped-off from the LEGO Friends line and has that extra hole so a flower or bow or other hair accessory can be added. I don't know and I really don't care; It does little to detract from the piece and if it did bother me 1) I could replace it with any other countless LEGO/bootLEGO hairpiece I have lying around or 2) I could GET OVER IT BECAUSE THE FIG COST ME 38 CENTS FERCRYINOUTLOUD!
