The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket.

There is no chance of this Spider-man statue selling out any time soon. I know the Black Symbiote Spider-man costume is cool.
However, anytime Peter wears the Symbiote costume in the comic long term; something really bad happens to him.
If you were looking for only one 1/4 scale Spider-man for your marvel collection, this costume would not be the first choice.
Don't get me wrong, it's a great looking statue, but the meaning behind it, the tragedy, well it paused my enthusiasm.

I get what you're saying, but as a reader I loved those stories the most because of how different it was from the usual stories. I embraced his struggles, his uncertainty, and the resulting tragedies. For my collection, this would be the perfect singular 1/4 scale Peter Parker Spider-man.

That's what made reading Spider-Man comics exciting. All the struggles he went through. And that black and white costume was pretty sick! I already have a 1/4 red/blue Spider-Man statue and a 1/4 symbiote black/white Spider-Man statue. But I wouldn't mind having this one as well ....

Even though the Symbiote ends up either making Spider-man evil? Betraying Peter in battle making him lose control? Absorbing Peter's body? Becoming a villain Poison? etc That's the one Spider-man you want for your collection?
Granted, if you are looking for an anti-hero collection, it make sense, but that is not Spider-man to me.

Understandable, if you are a Spider-man collector then yes I could see this as a must have.

Yea, it's like wanting Venom and Carnage in your collection. Or even Black Cat, Gwen Stacy and Mary Jane in your collection. They are all part of the Spider-Man lore.

Even for all of those reasons, yes. Although those were all traumatic for him as a character, he overcame it all and became a better person through it. And because of all of that, those are my most favorite and memorable Parker Spidey stories... which is how I'd like him represented in my collection.
I know I'm an outlier and you would be totally correct for most people. I tend to like darker and more morbid stories so all of that ticks my personal preference boxes.
The closest I've come to liking a regular red and blue suit Parker Spidey is the MCU one by Queen Studios. I like the sculpt and interestingly enough, that piece is in a crouching pose as well... so that seems to be another big factor for me.
This wouldn't be my only Spidey, just possibly my only Peter Parker one. I really love the Sideshow Miles Morales. I also love the Prime 1/Sideshow and Bowen Miguel O'Hara/Spidey 2099. Add in a few female spiders like Sideshow or XM's Ghost Spider and Sideshow Silk... Symbiote Parker would be in decent company.
