Superhero Week: Spider-Gwen statue from Mondo
Spider-Gwen is an alternative reality Spider-Man… except it’s Gwen and not Peter Parker who gets the power. The result is a cool looking, cheeky, superhero who is as likely to climb on top of a mast and take a selfie as she is to web-sling her way off somewhere else. In fact, the statue from […]

Sillof’s Real Joe’s are G.I inspired
Geek Native has featured some of artist and model maker Sillof (aka Jamie Follis) designs before. I rather like his mashups like retro Star Wars and steampunk heroes. This time it is different.
