I was totally wrong about the switch of head.
Disappointed that they couldn't have sculpted Peter's nose on one of the sculpts.

Overall impressed by the piece.

Without question, the Spider-man piece I have been waiting for. Thank you.

the base killed this one for me. If it wasn't for the weird smoke/fire effect and the emphasis on pairing it with the eventual Goblin piece, I'd have pre-order this. Passing completely on it though

killer pose...just tried to hard to be unique with the base and it ends up taking attention away from Spidey

The piece overall has been praised a lot. I think that people are simply not 100% sold on the base and much less on the price point.

This isn't a $500 Statue, it's half of a $1,000 Dio.

Anyone happy to display this and pass on a GG?

after my Wonder Woman disappointment im considering skipping even spidey, just cant deal with these frustrations, this calendar year I have only re-ordered the Pred 2 maq, need Black cat to complete my campbell collection
Spidey and Aquaman were on the list to get,,,but Igo hinted a variant spidey , might wait for that since I have the original spidey comiq.. I used to order 15-20 statues from Sideshow yearly from 2011,, last year around 12,, this year Im pretty sure it will be around under 5,,,,meanwhile XM has 3 of my pre-orders this year already, SHe-hulk, Ms Marvel and Thor,
i used to staunchly support Sideshow even with their high ES, cos i always felt SS had the superior Art department working for them,, but whats the point,, the final product is full of quality issues which I usually ignore but Sideshow doesnt deal with damages the way they used to before and i dont like keeping damaged ones in my collection and I cant settle for return cos I will lose the customs fees(85-90$approx),instead Im stuck with 25$ credit

Lets look on the brightside, maybe the price hike is partially related to SS answering demands for a lower ES and better QC...

If Sideshow continues their trend for terrible GG portraits, then I'm happy to pass on him.

The only thing that concerns me about the base is the skinny looking connection between the hoist/hook and the trolley...just looks destined to break, unless it's a separate piece somehow.
