Fancy spiders? Check out this creative piece of Flash animation. You can pull a spider around by its legs or just toss it about, making it your helpless victim for any torture you see fit. Still, no one wants to touch a real spider of that size anywhere but here, where the sky is the limit (actually it’s 255 pixels.) You can adjust the scale of both the body and legs, the color and even the speed of the spider. Have a cat? Let the good times roll my friend.

While these glasses look like they aren’t translucent (which might make it hard to save Mary Jane from the villan of the day), they do make you look bad-ass, despite the fact that you might just be totally blind when you’re wearing them. Watch out Venom! If we could see you, we just might spray you with silky webbing.

The jagged edges of the glasses gives that authentic spider web look (but not really), while making you stand out in the crowd. Even if the crowd happens to be a riotous band of comic nerds. — Andrew Dobrow

This spider robot looks a lot scarier than it really is. In fact, it might save your life. The Ellos RescueBot is designed to reach untraversable areas where humans can’t squeeze their meager two legs into, sort of like the Amoeba Bot. The damage resistant robot is a perfect example of Asimov’s laws of robotics. It saves you without getting hurt.

Its main standout feature is 10 lifting arms on its bottom. When it reaches its target, the legs extend, closing around the subject in need of some spider saving. Spiderman might just have met his match. (more…)
