Personally, I love them all. It makes my already assembled collection instantly more valuable!

Sideshow will listen, but ultimately its going to come down to how many people PO. If lots they will complete the line for those folks. If not many then they will move on. This forum to be fair is a small number of people who PO.

Keep in mind when SS shows these pieces, they are at the factory already way into the production phase, why they don't change much if they can help it and if its not popular they will have a small ES and move on.

Besides its not the last Spiderman Sideshow will do, will see another in likely less than 3 years. Then there's XM and the several dozen from custom groups.
I’ve seen the XM Spider-Man and MJ Statue in person and I hated it. My friend wanted to sell it to me at a loss and I passed on it. Thought the base was too distracting.

I think an FP base makes more sense with a diorama like this, but with a single character, not so much.

From pics is no so far except for Psylocke. But curious to hear those who seen in person, what is their take on it.

Cross country skiing is great if you live in a small country.

Never saw one in person, but don't mind the look or effort at all. Just another different take, which should be allowed to have it's own space.

The figure sculpts themselves are great, & I would be very curious to see these up-close, and judge that effect.

Its a fresh take, and I think its innovative and modern. So far, the few videos on Youtube who did video commentary they mentioned that in person its well done or cool. They mostly focused on the character, which is good and means the FP does not distract but complement the statue. But just like any form of art, you'll either love it or hate it, and I think its fine to have diversity. (I myself had enough of rubbles and destroyed rocks)

But what is undeniable is the sculpt, and dynamic pose of the trio is very good, I can feel the swinging and jumping, and it was achieved very well.

I don't collect Spider Man (yet?) but I can appreciate what they are trying to do here.

I actually like the Psylocke base, then again it's the only one without severe angles and highly distorted perspective.

The others, spidey line and wolverine, look a little silly.
