Tuesday is Bring Your Colorful Arachnid and His Reptile Friend to Work Day

In honor of the opening of the first movie in the freshly rebooted Spider-Man franchise (after only 5 years? really? Then again, Spider-Man 3 really did suck), here are Mego Spidey and his scaly opponent, The Lizard.

When I was a kid, Mego Spidey was arguably my favorite toy--he was a nice representation of the character, and unlike other Mego figures, he didn't have any accessories to lose (belt, boots, gloves, etc.).

The Lizard, on the other hand, is kind of goofy--his outfit is nice (love the plush tail) and the scales on the hands and feet were unique to this figure--but the head sculpt kinda blows the notion that he's a vicious animal who wants to tear the web slinger limb from limb. I mean, dude is smiling, for crying out loud.

You call that a smile?

OK, from that angle he doesn't appear to be smiling. But trust me--he's one happy Lizard!

He also seems to want to hold Spidey's hand. I'm just sayin' . . .
