The latest Bingotoys Fembot, Spider Girl, was relased a few months ago. After their visually interesting take on Windblade, I was curious about how well their Black Arachnia turned out.
I don't recall the price on the Wind Girl, but I don't imagine i was materially different. While Wind Girl came with more weapons, SpiderGirl comes with two sets of faces (flesh coloured and full gold). There's a few weapons but heavily armed she is not. Furthermore, there's the other parts necessary to do the spider transformation.
Some parts were recycled off Wind Girl, whether that be direct reuse or slight retool, but to me it feels like they added several points of articulation for the purposes of, well, having her pose, as they didn't really seem all that necessary for transformation.
The most obvious of these would be the the hidden back arch/ab crunch within the abdomen section. The segmented thighs are here again, but there's also drop down hips.
The Spider abdomen CAN fit on Spider Girl in robot mode, but it throws an already average stable figure into unbalanced mode, and it's pretty bulk so you might as well leave it off. The weapons are... kind of there. They're not particularly impressive. Actual articulation isn't bad, better than Nicee as this gives you posing options for the torso and better shoulders tow work with. As mentioned, stability isn't terrible, but ultimately she's not ThreeZero Arcee and her die cast metal frame/joints. To that end, there's a stand you can use, but I never do.
The faces are.. an interesting choice I guess at least it gives options for both the prudish and freeballing collector. The battle mask is a nice touch, which cover the beautifully chromed eyes nicely.
Paint work is surprisingly good. I guess there's really nothing too complicated, especially if you can paint the parts separated and have a good masking system in place. The color choices are also quite good.
Build Quality wise, there's realy nothing too bad ont he figure itself. Fists do actually fit on the body and everything else is sufficiently tight and tabs into place. The strange exception to this are the weapons, which have these really stumpy handles that are a tad loose int he holes.
Transformation is... non sensical. As I expected, it really is the main body forming a frame for all the other parts, but it is less annoying to put together than some of the other Fembots I owns.
