If they are going to add extra legs, keep it to 4. That way he has the same number of limbs as a spider.

I'd vote for comic accuracy (3 mech legs), but I have no real horse in this race. I read the comics but don't collect male statues.

Firstly, I thought Arachnids have 8 legs...and if that is the case...then it never made sense for him to only have three arms with 4 appendages as well...UNLESS MARVEL CONSIDERS HIS PENIS THE 8th one???

Oh well...just my crazy thinking.

if venom is end of year or early next year then when do you think these will get released?

I have a feeling spidey is gonna make a grand entrance....
2017 for these. I'm thinking the last statue that will probably make it out this year is Mysterio. 2016 is going to be tame compared to 2017. I expect people's mind will be blown by what's coming in 2017 and beyond. I just hope the statue market continues to thrive.

I don't know much about Iron Spidey but always thought the SS statue was really cool. I'm sure this one will be awesome too.

Yes and IMO it remains one of their best statues to this day.

What a fantastic statue.

Shame I absolutely hate this costume/version of Spider-Man

No because at least 4 would make him have 8 limbs like a spider. 5 is just random.

Still think 3 is the way to go though. Costume details are one thing but changing the core design/functionality of the character is another.
