Great to see SS really filling in the gaps of the Marvel/Spider-man universe.
Couldn't think of any other Spidey related character they could have done.
Just killing it. Hope it's dynamic and around 800$ like Deadpool.
If it's 1000$ I am probably gonna pass.

Hoping for characters not made up in the past 7 years to be made first. But all we get are more Spidey and iron man pieces.
Ouch. That was my last Ale talking.

Feel a bit the same as you two but lot of pros ans cons.

i can fast check some

pros
- overall soft muscular sculpt (especially the arms)
- batery sticks
- face(s)
- base
- and the killing detail nobody will notice when looking at your statue because everyone will focus on broadway and liberty statue: under shoe web mark

cons
- earbud (too big)
- hair
- bottom base too raw
- how will she be next to MB silk ?
- price tag

So the Ex price tag is in most case the deciding factor and it's killing it actually :(

Need to see the entire Line thou

I know that's how the character is supposed to be, but the shoes seem odd for a character designed to swing through the air. Boots would have worked better.

Real eyes actually work that way, but for some (stupid) reason Sideshow's factories (or at least one of them) do have a history of struggling with iris placement when a statue is looking to the side - there's a reasonable chance that while her left eye stays where it is, her right eye ends up looking slightly but noticeably straight ahead. Or even the other way around.

Please, please, please, Sideshow, make sure it doesn't happen.

Maybe the white top shouldn't look so shiny.

I hope it's just the way it's photographed.

Nice statue, by the way. Tempting.

Boots?! Would you put SpiderMan in boots? Aside from the impractical nature and breaking up of the slim, sleek design I like the ballet flat. Also adds a nice pop of color.


The SpiderGwen suit is one the best costume designs in the last two decades. Perfect from head to toe.

I think this is one of the best SG version I've seen--better than Mondo's.

That makes sense.

If you take figures into account, 1/6 is probably the biggest market in terms of collectibles.

I think 1/4 caught fire 10 years ago because the prices were such that you got the most bang-per-buck at that scale. Now that 1/4 prices are running away and so many 1/4 pieces are out there, I could see 1/6 coming back.

Also shipping is out of control, the bigger a piece gets the more it cost
to ship. I just shipped my Is Spider Man statue and to ship about half of U.S. was $170.00, and it's just going to go higher. Also cost the companies more money to ship so that makes pieces cost more, In over 11 years of collecting I have watched shipping quadruple.

When they announced this line I was sure Gwen would be my least favorite, but after the reveal I think she has the most dynamic pose, best switch out option and best base. So now she is my favorite of this line.

This statue is gorgeous, I'm so glad she turned that way, I wanted a Spider-Gwen statue since I'm aware of the character and I was disapointed by all the statues currently on the market and this one matches all my hopes... The pose is very dynamic and perfectly nails the agility of Gwen, the CoH is there, the two portraits are lovely, the base is original, I love all the little details on it.

And finally the return of Mark Brooks in a colaboration with Sideshow. He did one of my favorite statue of all time : the astonishing Scarlet Witch comiquette :wink2:

I don’t get it either VS1976. That’s why after Thanos, I’m only buying Batman villains in 1/4 scale.......if they even make them. I’m just about priced out, which makes me extremely depressed because I love collecting these things....

$425 for a 1/5 scale??? WTF Spider-man PF is $50 more and that's 1/4 scale.

It's a nice statue but I just don't see how this can be priced so much? This is just so insane. Why make 1/5 scale if you're going to price it at $425? JUST make everything 1/4 and charge $100 more.

I don't know about that, it seems it takes them a long time to sell off the regular edition of most of their statues, not to mention we don't even know if they're making the full Edition Sizes.... Some of their statues takes years to sell out. That wasn't the case back when these statues were $350

You're right about that. They do seem to sit for a while, but edition sizes also have gone up since then. They're obviously still selling well or prices wouldn't go up $50 or so every year. Either way, one things for sure, that at this price point they should be producing exact replicas of the prototypes, but they still aren't quite there. I feel like the increases in price haven't been going towards a better product, but is being used for advertising and promotional videos.

I agree 100% with this and last statement. Doesn't matter to them if it takes years to sell out they already produced 10 more statues by that time to keep the money train rolling.

I'd cancel this $500.00 crap I would do $800 with A- paint job, packaging, weight, fitting etc. after 5-8 releases give the collectors B- paint job, weight, packaging, fitting etc at $900 but I'd be kind enough to now include the art print. I'm sure a lot of people will view it as an A+++++ and say ss never went anywhere. Would also make the boobs bigger and continue to put all the female superheroes in poses that make them look like super models or posing for a runway as @nearmint pointed out in one of his huntress video that seems to be getting the job done. Hey if it works continue to do it I'm not mad at ss from a business perspective at all. From a customer perspective.....

Yeah 1/5 was dumb. Would have picked up this and silk if they were 1/4. I’m thinking they did things this way because people wanting sideshow silk and Gwen will probably buy these because they’re the only option. They wouldn’t sell as many if they released them in 1/4 scale first. Seems like it’s just a marketing/sales decision.

Isn't the idea to buy a 1/5th scale - to get a SS piece at a lower price point?

I'm lost, this ins't worth the 1/5th discount to look like this. If this was a PF wouldn't this board be furious?

Don't get me wrong, I'm a fan first, if it was one of my Favorites I doubt I'd say much but the production qualities do greatly vary.

The production piece looks like something from another sculptor. I don't know how Sideshow can reproduce something like the JSC Little Mermaid almost perfectly compared to the prototype in terms of sculpt and paint at this scale, but then they ship out something like this. Their inconsistency and odd art design choices are the main reasons I've been buying more from other companies.

These are water slide decals that need to be cut from the sheet. They are very delicate and are not easy to work with. Something like Microscale Liquid Decal film can be used to strengthen the decals. The decals should sealed with a clear gloss acrylic.

The production piece definitely has flat paint apps. The sculpt details also seemed to be lost. Hard to tell how much of the face distortion is due to the fisheye camera lens on phones versus production issues. Need to see more pictures to judge the factory casts. But the paints are just subpar for this grade of statue.

It might be exacerbated by the relative quality of the photos but the difference there seriously looks like an original piece vs. a recasted knockoff.

XM Pieces have a number on the base that can be entered on the XM Studio's website. That should prove if it is a recast.
Agreed, it looks poor for an XM piece. The eye's donot appear to be looking in the exact same direction as the production piece.

It’s all good. Had such high hopes this turned out close to the proto. Really want Silk but if she’s going to turn out like this no way.

My luck she’ll turn out great just to rub salt in this SG debacle.

On another note. Cant wait to see how the X-ladies turn out. That sh**storm’s going to be glorious if they turn out like Gal WW or SG.

Okay, let me just say, I don't currently own any SS statues, but these photos make me extremely worried about my pre-orders for PF Wonder Woman and Poison Ivy. This production piece literally looks like it came from a different company. Did they save money when selecting a Chinese manufacturer and go with one of those ones that make recast anime figures for eBay???

Sideshow's actually been on a roll with their production pieces lately, this is one of their few duds. I also noticed that their DC statues are pretty good quality compared to their other statues for some reason, so I don't think you have much to worry about.

It's honestly shocking how terrible this turned out to be. Maybe Sideshow didn't have much faith in this line and handed Gwen off to a cheap factory or something, because I have NO idea what happened here. :( The Spider-Verse deserves better!

Oh, no. Is that seriously how this line turned out? I had no idea the QC was so bad. Very happy I didn't crawl down that rabbit hole. Sheesh, that's bad...lol

Edit:

This has me seriously concerned about Emma Frost now. My order was delayed from April to May, then to July, and two weeks ago to August. Gwen and Frost have similar eye placement in the proto pics, so...yeah.

I'm going to be totally bummed out if she's a dud. This is probably the first sculpt for Frost that isn't overly sexualized, and is actually somewhat elegant.

Yup, I seriously can't believe they made the non masked portrait the regular. Just a really terrible idea. It should have been the other way around.
