ohhh I get it now. you're one of the Bigger is Better collectors. Lots of luck!

I appreciate your opinion and feedback but I must say i'm happy I didn't listen to you because I would've missed on out on what I believe to be the best Spider-Man available...for $89. It's SOLD OUT now at BBTS, hope others on here took advantage of that killer deal.

Nice Piece. The light pole should've been taller.

Light pole is way too short. Looks good other than that.

Could it be taller, sure. Doesn’t draw back from the piece at all in any way shape or form.

Every single piece has detractors. Every single piece. It’s just what u choose to focus on. People that don’t own it will say meh I don’t want it bc this is wrong with it. Glass half empty type of guys, looking for a reason to disqualify it from one’s collection.

The Bowen crouching venom’s base is too short for it to be an inscale believable ledge. Same goes for the building the 1960’s Spidey on wall is atop, too short for it to be an actual building. Same goes for Bowen Vulture, what is that half a story building?? Too small! Hear are all reasonable real-life scale critiques but it’s all what you choose to focus on. Putting aside unnecessary real world critique for these comic book characters this is the best Spidey statue I’ve seen.

Damn...wasn't following this. I like it. Still considering at $180, but harder to pull the trigger in light of the 50% deal.

Thanks for the heads-up. Scale should pair up nicely with my Attakus 'Gargoyle' Spidey.

Yeah, no prob. Is Attakus 1/8? I've been eyeing that Carnage on and off.

In general? I couldn't say, as I'm not real familiar with them. It's the only Attakus I have, and I think it's ~1/8.

My first statue - picked it up while visiting NY in 1999.

Alright, cool...Carnage is probably in a similar scale.
