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.

Accidental Rule 63 Spider-Woman
Don't get me wrong, I'm a progressive guy. You want to gender-swap your cosplay? Go for it, I say!
But this, this is absolutely HILARIOUS because I do not think it was a) intentional or b) the model has any idea he is cross-dressing.
What I wouldn't give to be a fly on the wall when this model is showing off his portfolio and someone catches on that he is neither a black suited Peter Parker nor any version of Venom, but he is in fact dressed as the Julia Carpenter version of Spider-Woman!
Like I said: HILARIOUS!
If you want your own Spider-WOMAN costume (I won't judge) you can find it here.

| 'Wait until I tell my friends that I played Venom professionally!' |
| 'Sassy!' |
| 'Spider-gender neutral, Spider-gender neutral, does whatever anyone of any gender wishes to do!' |
| 'Hey LADIES!' |
| 'I don't know, he looks good to me!' |

Spider-Woman by Toy Biz
Another recent gift from The Clawful Punch was this Toy Biz Spider-Woman action figure!
Now I profess to be quite the comic-book savant, but I admit I know little to nothing about Spider-Woman (except that she's pretty danged homina-homina-homina!)
This action figure is pretty basic as action figures were at the time, although she does have knee and elbow joints, which wasn't particularly common in those days of old. She came with a gun and web-shield, which Jboy included but I did not photograph.
I do like that fact that Spider-Woman's head and hair and torso are all a single sculpt. So many female action figures' head articulation is useless due to massive plastic chunks of hair. Toy Biz said 'screwit' and just made it all one piece, and that's laudable in this case.
Although I am not familiar with the character, I love Spider-Man and the Spider-Family and am so glad to have her in my collection. I have eyed the black and white costumed Toy Biz Julia Carpenter Spider-Woman in the past and might need to add her to the collection now that I have this one!
This Spider-Woman's real identity is that of Jessica Drew. She first appeared in Marvel Spotlight #32 (February 1977). She was created by Archie Goodwin and Marie Severin. Read more about her at Wikipedia.
