Long time lurker first time posting. I’ve gotten 2 of these so far and both had issues with the right leg (color coded red). The first one the leg wouldnt slot into the key all the way and the second one so loose it comes out and can’t support the weight of the Spider-Man body. Has another one had issues?

Is that leg the main metal support or just one of the 2 polystone ones?

The polystone ones. Two in a row so I was wondering if others had issues.

Yes, I've had issues. Don't know where you now stand with this? But be afraid. Very afraid, but hopeful.

Those "iron legs" are well designed with excellent support, & great paint, but you may find yourself out of luck if bent.

Sideshow is coming through, just waiting to receive hopefully a better view.


P.S. I always feared this. The low edition sized runs will be collecting headaches if something ever goes wrong. Replacements may be a mess, and patience it will test.

Just got mine. Fortunately no issues which is rare for me. But hey, I'll take the win and run with it! Solid piece. I love it.

They even wrapped the body, head, hands in a soft cloth to prevent damage. Love to see Sideshow stepping up its game like this. Good for them, good for us.

One of mine was a bit loose and the other key was difficult to get in all of the way. It took wiggling at a specific angle to go it. Once it was assembled it felt very sturdy. The engineering seems pretty solid.

Major bummer you're having some issues.

If you can get the one leg to go in fully, the polystone will dehydrate and restrict over time to where it won't be such a tight fit. As far as the other leg you can use some two-part marine epoxy clay to build out the inside key hole if it's too loose. Just be sure you thoroughly clean any/all of the clay residue from the statue before you let it cure, because once it sets it'll be impossible to remove without damage. Hopefully they have another replacement for you. If they don't I do think you could manage a fix for that if you want to.

Be careful with this one guys. The top pointy parts of the leg can break if they bang up against that middle metal leg. So take your time when putting the body on. Mine chipped clean on that pointy piece of the orange coded leg. Its positioned rather close to the middle leg.

Good to know. Thanks for the heads up.

Sideshow came through with the replacement, & i'm glad to report that he fits, and is now hovering in space/place.

Great work, featuring flawless anatomy, excellent pose, great paint, & a spacial sculptural effect which should leave you breathless.

The base paint is a little simple(not enough depth), but if I had to make one change? It would be to add way more draping, heavier, thicker webbing throughout, making it much more prominent/dominant. As the concept/design is very cool, and the visual impact/contrast would have elevated this thing to drool status.

Great work, showcasing/celebrating the purity of sculpt, can't get enough.
