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.

Dozens of responses from comicbloggers linked here. Above, the controversial "comiquette" from Marvel at left, and a critic's parody response, at right.
