Lycra Spider-Man experience needed

[milk_man]

So ive been looking all over for a relatively cheap spider man costume for halloween. Everything seems to be poorly sized or questionable quality compared to displayed picture.

Ive seen alot of Lycra spiderman costumes coming from china, and they look really good for the price. My main concern is do you get what you see.

For example

This looks like a pretty good looking spidey if you ask me:
Classic Spiderman costume *lycra Spandex * Red/blue on eBay.ca (item 120609183997 end time 24-Aug-10 19:29:44 EDT)

Where as this, with the exact same name and price as the above item, looks poorly made and awkward, almost a completely differen suit. The seems are obvious with webs connecting to nothing, the arms are too straight and the neck isnt correct
Classic Spiderman costume *lycra Spandex * Red/blue on eBay.ca (item 120612905809 end time 02-Sep-10 19:37:16 EDT)

All over ebay these two picture seem to be interchangeable for what is described as the same item. Has anyone any experience buying one of these? And did it turn out to look like the good or bad version? Thanks for any help.

I don't know about this much, but judging from the two pictures, your instinct that they are the same seems correct. It's missing the blue for the obliques and on the arms despite looking really good in that first image.

It's the same seller for both. Likely the same suit.

I had not noticed that, but you are correct. The good one has blue along the sides of the torso but the 2nd one appears to not. The second may or may not even have any blue along the arms.

The main thing I noticed in the two are the shoulders. In the first it looks like one nice piece, in the second it just looks like they sewed sleeves onto a body and hoped itd work out.

That was my main concern. There are a number of other sellers that use the exact picture as the first one, which worries me as well.

I prefer this one, not sure if it a different costume but looks better to me.

For under $50 you can't go wrong.

I thought so too, but I found one that showed the back and wasnt too impressed with what I assume is the zipper.
