Wow!

This statue just keeps getting better. It’s made huge improvements since first shown, has had excellent refinements over time and this move now is amazing.

Since we’re getting three torsos, can the ripped mask head get some battle damage to the torso? It’d be awesome and believable to have some rips in the costume to match the mask.

Any chance for the torsos to come with an extra small stand or two? Not expecting it of course, just hoping.

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

Doubtful, but would be nice.

Just wondering, what are collectors' opinions on this one and the last Sideshow one (with the girder base)? Does anyone own that one and is still getting this one or is anyone sitting pat satisfied with that one?

I love this piece. I'll be displaying both together. I think when placed along side each other, they flow nicely.

I have the SS: Fantastic pose and sculpt. The base is 'meh'....could have been much better.

XM: Well done, XM always slays, but I dislike the pose (booooooring) and could never get past the silly physics of the piece. He can't be swinging like that. The web would go thru the post. Or did he just launch from the post? Then why did he web-shoot behind him?! Just a "what were they thinking?" piece for me.


Still looking for a definitive SM....

Why do you feel the webbing would go through the post?

I suppose if you really wanted to get overly technical about it, I initially thought that the webbing that's connected to the post would be too weak from a structural standpoint to hold his body weight. But the structure is literally falling apart, so to some degree that's accurate anyway.

I'm happy I have this on pre-order. Don't own any other Spider-Man statues.

Look at the photo and give me a "one second before" snapshot of how we got to the positioning that's there.

He either is swinging around the post, which would equal 'the web went thru'

or

He's jumping off the post, in which case why did he shoot a web behind him? He would jump forward and leap forward. It physics make no sense.
