I agree with Bullseye about the Spidey sculpt. It's greatness gets overshadowed by the massiveness of The Hulk.

People's attention immidiately gravitate towards the big guy. They seem to miss that this is really one of the most agile and "spidery" Spider-Man's out there that actually looks fluid and cool.

Look at the Spidey PF and then look at this one. That "it" is missing on the PF.

Hey guys thanks for the feedback and additional pictures of Spider-man. He is just too good to leave in the box IMO. He needs to be displayed.

this is a true masterpiece. the only small problem i noted but really doesn't stop me from giving this an A+ is the fact that i think spideys fingers were too long.

but this is second favorite diorama after x men vs sentinel.
i'm a happy customer.

I disagree. There are many Spider-Man sculpts out there that "overshadow" the SS Spider-Man (my opinion of course). It has nothing to do with the size of the Hulk statue. Tell me which statue is overshadowed in this picture?

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

Boy, isn't that the truth. That PF Spidey is just lacking something.

All the other ones are looking straight at the camera and the SS one is looking down positioned all the way in the back and blocked by another statues foot, how could you compare when its not even in the shot?? Of course its overshaddowed you cant even see it.

On another note no one said that this Spidey overshadows all other spidey's?? He said this spidey gets overshadowed by the Hulk

Eliminating the Bowen standing pose on the left, and comparing the remaining 3 side by side, the SS Spidey wins as the most fluid and agile of all of them. The Bowen one in the middle looks goofy and the other one on the right doesn't look very natural.

Many sculptors try to pull off the dynamic poses from the comic pages but very few succeed. Martin's Spidey is the best one that I have seen accomplishing the spidery pose. It's a pure spider-sense moment. It's telling Spidey to jump out of the way or get smashed.
