Hot Toys Announces Spidey from Spider-Man 3

I can’t remember the last time I felt that a Hot Toys figure was lacking that something extra special, but I was expecting a bit more from this announcement.

What do you guys think of the new packaging for 2011?

Hot Toys Spider-Man 3 Teaser Pic

Sideshow posted this teaser image of a Hot Toys Spider-Man 3 figure on the Sideshow Facebook page. I wonder if we’ll get the black suit included with the Spidey figure. Maybe we’ll even get the emo disco outfit. What the deuce, Sam Raimi?!
