Andrew Garfield Spider-Man action figure

Marvel Universe Andrew Garfield Spider-Man. Via.

And in other Marvel toy news, there will be new Marvel Legends figures. "Wave 1 will be: Klaw (classic look), Hope Summers, Constrictor, Steve Rogers as the Super Soldier, Iron Man (one of his classic armors), what looks to be the new movie version of Ghost Rider, the Comic Con Thor and the Build-a-figure is Terrax." (That is a remarkably undesirable lineup.)

Spider-Man redesigned by Joe D for Project Rooftop's current contest.

These were real Spider-Man costumes?

Hornet, Prodigy, Ricochet:





If I understand it right, these were costumes Peter Parker wore in the comics several years ago. As a bonus of questionable worth, you can use them in upcoming game Spider-Man: Edge of Time by preordering from GameStop.

UPDATE: Thanks to the commenter, here's the Wikipedia entry.
