It's May 1st and The Amazing Spiderman 2: Rise of Electro is now showing in theatres throughout Malaysia. Make sure you catch this awesome movie in what is a defining moment of Peter Parker's life. Andrew Garfield is perfectly cast as Spiderman's geeky alter ego.

In its Marvel Universe range of 1/28th scale miniatures, Knight Models has an old school version of Spiderman leapfrogging a New York taxi. It's a beautifully sculpted piece of Spidey in a very dynamic pose; managing to capture the agility that is Spiderman's trademark.

Supplied unpainted and requiring assembly, the Knight Models Spiderman model kit comes in a combination of resin (for the taxi) and metal (for Spiderman). All figure/model parts are sandwiched between two protective sponges and encased inside a cardboard packaging. Pictures above show how a fully assembled and painted Spiderman looks like.
