I think that the spiders were urethane, honestly. I'm grabbing up a pair from Nerdvana designs on FB and getting my frames from TJack. After I get my frames, I'm getting oracles screen printed bottoms, and getting the stretched honeycomb for the arms.
I did wrist and ankle zippers on my suit. they make life WAY easier. Costume is much faster to put on, with less stress on the material, and I can take out my hands for delicate tasks, lunchbreaks, or using my phone.

That's what I tried with my suit, but there wasn't enough room to get in even with the rear belt zippers. I had to add another zip going vertically down the butt seam. The zippers form a cross.I might do a zipper after the emblem and down to the belt. I might be able to add zippers on the back belt. I guess it'll be like a t zip if you think about it
The spiders on the film suit are not urethane. The outside edges are the same material as the webs, and the top surface is textured like an iron-on transfer, and is slightly reflective.I think that the spiders were urethane, honestly.

Thanks. The pattern file was originially printed by FOD, but I then hand-dyed the fabric to make the colors much deeper. I will make a thread explaining the build when I have some time.WOW, the colors looks so vibrant and I don't see fading when its stretched! Did you get this printed at FOD?

I'd really like to see a thread on this if you made one! Looks a lot better!Thanks. The pattern file was originially printed by FOD, but I then hand-dyed the fabric to make the colors much deeper. I will make a thread explaining the build when I have some time.
I thought of neopren first, too. But neopren isnt that strechable like lycra. And it has to be very thin neopren, because of the "waves" of the fabric on most pictures.
There is 1mm thin neopren, but its not that stretchable! :/
and also the red looks so shinny in the movie,nerver saw the same red as a replica yet..
