My 2 Spider-Man suits "Spidey 3" and "TASM" side by side

I took these a while back with the intention of adding them to my other Spidey thread but I figured this is the better venue for them. I give you my two prized costume pieces. In over 10 years of collecting and putting together suits, Spider-Man has always been at the top of my wish-list. I've owned multiple ones, but these are the only two suits I plan on keeping forever. I thought it would be a cool idea to put them side by side (I was really doing it as fit-test shots but hey, I figured why not share)

Both are pretty true representations as to what was on the films. Which look do you prefer?

I also have this shot of my ASM I really like. If someone has photoshop skills and some spare time on their hands, you are welcome to take a shot at making something cool with it just please come back and share it here

I honestly think the ASM suit has a better overall design. It stays true to the source material, but differentiates itself enough to be completely unique. But on the other hand, I prefer the webbing on the other suit, as it's a little more visible.

Gotta say I like the Rami suit better, but it's a photo finish decision. I didn't like the ASM suit at first but it's really grown on me. Awsome shots Fett, and kudos for taking your fitness to the next level

Wow. They both look great on you. I really prefer the Rami suit, as it's more like the comic version. I think the only reason they redesigned the suit for TASM is to differentiate this film from the previous 3. But I will say that they were very clever in the way they made the new, because in a lot of the iconic poses Spidey does in the movie, you can't tell the costume is any different.

Wow that suit looks great (ASM) , its no wonder everyone is doing it. Also the Rami suit is good too.

Good stuff man!

looks sweet! I'm a fan of both suites, but think your frame looks better in the Raimi suite.

I agree. The Raimi suit looks OK on me at 175 lbs but better around 170 to 172 lbs. The lines in the design are just more complimenting of one's body. The Webb suit on the other hand is designed for a leaner, taller Spider-Man. I'm currently sitting at 163 lbs and I still feel I need to lose a couple more pounds to get the look closer. My limbs and neck are not as long as Garfield's but I at least want to get the lean aspect as close as I can make it.

I hear ya man. I went to the gym twice a day last semester (because it was so boring up in massachusetts) and was the leanest 165 lbs Ive ever been, even had my little four pack going and the bicep vein showing, and now I am really regretting sitting on my ass for most of the summer. Now im back up to about 180 and I'm going to have to go back to running 5 miles everyday just to pull this damn suit off if I finish it by comic con. Not gonna be fun.

I really hate the fact that the ASM suit is near impossible to pull off unless you have that natural lanky body type, but the Raimi suit does look really nice on you.

Looks great man! Suits are great reps of the movie costumes. Colors and design is great!

I'm by no means a professional photo editor, nor do I even have photoshop. But I did what I could with your picture because I love the pose!
What do you think?

Same here! I'm actually have pretty much the exact same body as Andrew Garfield, same height, weight, build, hair... Haha.

But yeah, the Raimi suit looks better on you, Fett, so you should just give me your TASM one... Ha, jk! (unless you really want to give me your suit

Both suits look amazing! You have more of the actuall super hero-ish body, I just have the nerd body. Haha

Fett, you look a lot better in the Raimi suit only because he's more beefy. Love them both though

wow these look good

spiderman 3 suit is the best in my book , but they look good on you great picks

Nice thread.
After months of consideration...I prefer the ASM but wished they used bigger lenses.
They thought "hey how do we make Spider-Man look like he's not in spandex? Make him look like he's n a basketball!".
In the end I like it. Took a while. I really did the arms on the ASM suit.
Smaller lenses. And yellow? I works in the end. But I prefer the Raimi.
If only Raimi went with his awesome original Green Goblin design.

I would love to be able to pull a suit like this off, problem is I'm an endomorph and have a body type that would probably be more suited towards Venom then ASM.

I joined in as well.

I like close ups of the ASM suit, but overall, I like the Raimi suits MUCH MORE. The spiders/webbing, and size and shape of the eye frames (Not the color), are just much closer to the spiderman comics for me. I prefer that look.

I love the attention to detail the ASM suit has. The texture of the suit, the elongated/broken up spider. But from a far, I hate the look. It is still great work, but side by side, I like the Raimi suit much more, if only for comic authenticity.

Beautiful, the both of them. Great set!
