If you’re not into a whole head-covered situation, this adaptation of the classic Spidey suit will do you just fine. It is reminiscent of the 1960’s Catwoman mask, but is otherwise a classic rendition of the Spider-Man costume. Locked, loaded, and ready to sling webs.

Want to go with a more legit, commercially recognizable licensed Spider-Man costume? This is the suit for you. This one comes with the officially licensed tag, for that extra level of authenticity.

If you’re needing a little extra love in the muscle department, this hilarious Spider-Man suit comes with just the extra lift you need. You’ll need your own gloves for this one, but it has padding in all the right places for extra comedic effect.


Oh hey! BoLS might make a little dolla-dolla if you decide to buy these items. We need that money to buy more webbing for our Spidey-Suit, so any click-throughs and purchases are greatly appreciated!
