The Amazing Man-Spider Cosplay! [Pic + Video]

We see too many Spider-Man cosplayers at cons, but one thing we do not see very often is a Man-Spider cosplay!

We meet up with cosplayers Mike and Shelly (who last year made an awesome Totoro costume) and check out their new Man-Spider cosplay! Mike and Shelly walk us through their sculpt and build of this striking cosplay, one of our absolute favorites from Silicon Valley Comic Con.

These Funko POP! Harry Potter Advent Calendars Feature 24 Harry Potter POP! Figures!

This has to be one of the greatest advent calendar we’ve ever seen! 24 days, 24 Harry Potter Funko POP! figures! If you want it, better pre-order it now, because last year, this thing went out of stock *really* quickly!

Countdown to Christmas with a line of Harry Potter-themed pocket Pop! mini-figures. Featuring the Wizarding World’s favorite witches, wizards, beasts, ghosts, and house elves, this Harry Potter Pocket Pop! Advent Calendar promises a very jolly holiday indeed, especially when paired with treacle tart and a mug of hot Butterbeer. Includes 24x Pocket Pop! Mini-Figures.

One you slide off the slipcover, the front of the interior box folds down and, combined with a few standees, creates a little diorama of Hagrid’s snow-covered hut in front of the backdrop of Hogwarts itself.

And if the one above isn’t to your liking, Funko also has a second one this year (Cheaper at Amazon.com):
