Spider-Man Noir

One of the best finds from my Greenhills haul, Spider-Man Noir is fun to shoot with,  not to mention that the design can be used for any western or cowboy scene set up. In fact, it is reminiscent of Westworld's Hector character, owing to the leather vest and black ensemble.

The bag contained 14 parts - 1 head, 1 hat, 2 arms, 1 torso, 3 hands, 1 leg connector, 2 legs, 1 cape, 1 pistol, and 1 baseplate. The baseplate has 4 studs.

Dissected Spider-Man Noir
The legs are printed with black-gray color scheme, detailing the pinstripe pants. The toes have extra prints which either create the look of steel toe shoes or that Noir's wearing boots.

Pinstripe Pants
Nothing special with the back of the legs,  no prints.

Basic Black
Noir's torso prints detail a double-breasted leather vest; the brick is not leathery itself -  well,  at least the illusion of cowboy leather is there.

Buttons Up! 
The back torso printing carries the iconic eight-legged logo in white. It covers the whole back torso which I think can be inter-changed to the front for a touch of creativity in shooting scenes (just cover the back with a cape).

Spider-Man,  Spider-Man
Noir's head has the iconic slanted white eyes,  which imbibe the goggles he wear in the comics. The gray printing in the mouth area passes for the shadowy outlines of the mask, while the thin gray printed lines at the top of the head detail the leather stitches.

Dude,  where's my gun?... and arms!? 
The printing on the back of the head details the leather stitches, similar to the front printing.

Stitches
The assembled Spider-Man Noir minifigure looks bad ass. The fedora hat (the texture is of course, ABS plastic!) and black felt cape complete the awesome look.

There is no official minifigure release of Spider-Man Noir but the video game has its version. 

Video Game version
I'd say that Xinh knockoff version looks spiffier than the game version, which is also close to the comics version. 

Comics version 

If you're into knockoffs, go and get one. It's a  nice addition to Spiderverse collection.
