I think they just missed the mark. Sideshow seems to force things into working rather than exploring all of the options. I really liked this piece at first, but I just can't justify the price with respect to the poorly designed McFarlane portrait.

Saw the latest Spider-Man movie...

That franchise is dead to me

It’d be nice if they followed the same format as the 90s cartoon

Peter Parker is a grown college student...

They are dragging this origins thing out like turkey meat

Oh well, the PF is cool and it lights up!

Had some credit to knock the price down, so why not?

Well, MCU Spidey never had an origin on screen...

I originally wanted them to do college Peter also but starting with High School Peter gave them more to work with for longer (the next movie is supposed to be his Sr year, so college years would be next?), and more of an emotional punch for his bond with Tony since he’s a boy, it’s more dramatic when they took turns watching each other die.

And it’s straight from the comics, both original and Ultimate Universe. The first 3 years of Amazing Spider-Man in the early 60s are Peter in high school and he graduates on panel. He’s the original solo teen hero.


Maybe just like the comics they can introduce Harry and Gwen at college. Ned is the only off putting thing for me although I realize he’s more like Ganke from the Miles Morales comics than 616 Ned. My other gripe is minor with MJ. Otherwise I like what MCU has done with Spidey.

I’ve been waiting for a nice Spider-Man piece to add to the collection. This fits the bill.

The ex edition seems to be max 1500 lately. The higher price seems to be affecting the edition size.

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

That's kind of a low ES for a spidey statue these days, but quite a few people dislike this one I guess. I may wait for as long as I can before ordering.
