Spider-Man as a Samurai

This works way better than I thought it would.

Via Japaaan, Bandai is releasing a samurai version of your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man. Previously, Bandai did the same for Darth Vader, Boba Fett, and a Sandtrooper.

Very cool how Spider-Man’s web motif is incorporated into the samurai armor.

The samurai Spidey will be out this August in Japan, priced at 9,504 yen (US$89).
