Thongy figurine of Spiderman's girlfriend (maid?) incites blogger ire


Mapletree7 says,

Marvel Comics, in their infinite wisdom, has chosen to release a new statuette to celebrate the success of the Mary Jane (wife of Peter Parker) character in the wake of the record-breaking Spiderman III movie.

The statuette features a busty Mary Jane leaning over a bucket and washing Spiderman's costume. Don't miss the thong, ripped jeans, pearl necklace, and bare feet. Female comic book fans are not amused. No, we are not amused.
