Black & Gold is the New Red & Blue
The Funko Pop! line has revealed the “Black & Gold” Spider-Man suit. The outfit—which is also getting a Hasbro Marvel Legends release, as seen in the title image—is an exciting reveal on numerous levels, since the outfit is noticeably reminiscent of the Spider-Armor MK II from the pages of Marvel Comics, which debuted in 2011’s Amazing Spider-Man #656. Developed by Horizon Labs, the suit was designed to provide Peter enhanced protection during the brief period in which he lost his Spider-Senses. A version of the suit was also unlockable in the hit Spider-Man PS4 video game.

With Peter still on the run—presumably hiding behind the safety of the Sanctum Sanctorum—expect the film to be filled with J.J.’s idiosyncratic rantings and perpetual demand for pictures of Spider-Man!
