YES!

Love this cover and the custom statue is pretty cool. Sideshow or XM should do a full Kitty statue.

Awesome display TheRiddler!

Yup, that's a very nice cover. Love it too!

Absolutely agree, SSC needs to do a full 1/4 statue of Kitty.

Quick pic, before any jumps on me, just a cell phone pic, nothing special.

I’m sure someone else has better. I probably won’t take better photos until I move and resituate everything.

My opinions of them as a set:

- Con: I’d prefer they didn’t use forced perspective bases, especially since the illusion they create only works from specific angles, but Miles and Gwen’s bases are passable.

- Pro: Miles’ pose is everything I wanted for a 1/4 Miles. Peter’s pose is good.

- Even: Gwen’s pose is ok. I’d rather they had her shooting like Miles and Peter rather than holding a cell phone.

- Con: we all know Gwen’s white is too gray, my guess is to simulate it being night, which is themed in her base and Miles’ base, it’s obviously (to me) nighttime, but Peter’s base has sunlight on, so that stands out in person and kind of subtracts from the overall display.

- Miles and Gwen’s bases match together pretty well. Put her on the left hand side and him on the right, it almost looks like their bases were designed as a sequence.

- Con: Peter’s base is odd. It’s forced perspective like the others, but it’s a different approach. Miles and Gwen have little sculpted 3D buildings and really create a scene, Peter has the main building and then the little buildings are flat decals. Visually it doesn’t blend as well. His compacted, simpler base just appears cheaper looking by affect and execution. Also, it’s not as stable.

- Pro: all together they do work decently enough though. On a high shelf (where I normally keep them) they are cool and I have no regrets. Guests who aren’t as invested will dig them and they’ll get that they’re swinging through the city as opposed to looking like they’re playing on toy houses.

I have multiple Peter and Miles in 1/4. For this trio, Miles is my favorite. And because I’m a Miles fan I’d say this is in my personal Top 10 statues and he’s a keeper even without the Peter and Gwen. For Peter, I have more of him in 1/4, I choose the Comiquette (my #1) and Amazing PF (the one leaping over the whatever that is) over this forced perspective base PF. If it had a better base I’d like it more because the figure itself is top notch.

Those look pretty good together, and a nice breakdown on the pros & cons. Like many, I'm not too keen on forced perspective bases, but I think it works better if there is a FP element in the background that is removable (like with Psylocke and Mr. Sin), rather than the entire base being FP. The one thing that might bother me with these three is that Miles has a fabric jacket while the other two are fully sculpted.

Thanks for the pic Peedi! Looks great. Came in to add this one but saw I'd missed your reply!

Yeah force perspective but these still make a nice group!

I love how they all look together!
