It’s now up at spec, but the 3-day discount doesn’t appear to be available.

It is.... more or less.

At least the bulk of the discount has been applied.

I think Spec’s is $45/$40 higher, which isn’t all that unusual.

Not easy because this is the first Spider-man statue from anyone I've liked more than not (because it's closesr to a classic Romita look for the character).


It's an iconic scene- especially since it was the big cinematic entrance of a Spider-man executed under Marvel Studios creative control.

But unlike the Thanos 1/4, which is also from a specifc uber-iconic moment, the shield bit doesn't really encapsulate, or personify, the character the way that Thanos moment did.
The moment with the shield was just a throw-away, fan service bit.

A very unfortunate and ill advised creative decision from Queen to go the way they did, as the shield would have made *the perfect* deluxe extra on a statue where the standard was a basic right arm pose.
Instead, they gimped it to being only scene specific, and then bizarrely offer an unmasked portrait as the ex. It's a great likeness, but how many people are actually going to display it like that? And how the hell does that jibe with it's overall intent to be so screen specific?

I'll probably regret passing on it over the next several years, as I continue to wait in vain for a retro Spider-man that checks all the boxes for me, but the shield limits the appeal of this one just a little too much for me.

like you just said, the unmasked portrait is not scene specific either, so adding a regular, non shield arm should be a simple thing to add and will make a good difference in the profits for them. Win-win.

If they do a Cap to partner this scene then the shield will make sense. Personally I like the shield as a point of difference to the other Spiderman statues. I'll prob just go for the normal edition through as he was never unmasked during that scene. Plus I already have a portrait with the IS Spiderman 1/4 scale.

It doesn’t really bother me much as I’ve bought all the Spider-Man statues released by Iron Studios. So I think I have enough variety as it is.

And then there’s Sideshow statue that I have and all the 1/6 & 1/4 figures from Hot Toys.

this thing is awesome but as others have mentioned, misstep not having a no shield display option

Has a discount but not full at Spec, but they do have free shipping. Huge plus.

Are you sure? Though of course it’ll only be for US residents, but I didn’t see the option.

But then again the descriptions on both pages has wrong information on it. I think from the Thanos piece.

Agree with Phoenixblazes, Spec DOES NOT have free shipping on the Civil War Spidey.

statuedepot still has the cheapest price in the US that I've seen, but still no where near the big discount that QS is advertising.
