#297 - Cyborg Spider-Man\/Songbird<\/h3>\n

<\/center><\/p>\n

After a savage beating at the<\/a> hands<\/a> of<\/a> the<\/a> Sinister Six<\/a>, a half-dozen of his greatest foes, Spider-Man was given a cybernetic arm and eye piece to allow him to continue his pursuit of the band of villains.<\/i><\/p>\n

Aww, that's a shame, they gave away the gag. In the issue<\/a>, Spidey wakes up after his butt-kicking to find Cyborg X<\/a> has apparently given him robot bodyparts, not realizing his metal arm is really just a fancy cast to help his arm heal. That doesn't quite explain the big white tourniquets on his head or leg, but whatever. The set includes a normal arm to replace the metal one, but it's hard to have a \"plain\" Spider-Man with stitches painted all over his costume<\/a>. The arm and the eyepiece are new pieces, and look just like the comic did.<\/p>\n

Melissa Gold was once known as Screaming Mimi, a sonic-powered member of the Masters of Evil. When the Masters pretended to be heroes as the Thunderbolts<\/a>, Melissa got a new costume and a new name.<\/i><\/p>\n

I once made a custom Songbird Minimate<\/a>, but it was nowhere near as good as this. She has a purpose-made shoulder pad, and very intricate apps to create the blue-and-white pattern on her suit. Her hair<\/a> is white with pink stripes in the front. Her gloves have been seen on a Sentinel<\/a>, among others. To show her powers (like Klaw<\/a>, she can turn sound into solid shapes), she comes with a big translucent pink set of wings. There's a hole in the center, and a peg sticking out of her waist that plugs in to hold her aloft. I'm not sure about the stern look on her face, but overall she's good.<\/p>\n

Like most modern Minimates<\/i> sets, these figures come with clear disc stands. Weirdly, they're two different sizes - Songbird's is normal, but Spidey's is tiny. Wonder why?<\/p>\n
