Spider-Man PF shipping

Just got my tracking notice for Spidey PF. He'll be here on Tuesday. I might be one of the few that actually kept the exclusive on order.

Maybe the only one...When you get it, crotch shots please..

You betcha, they're all on order. I pretty much collect everything Sideshow, except the busts.

It'll be interesting to see how many people report on this thread. The cancellations for this item keep rolling in. Low Quantity Alert is up at 80 from 5 a few weeks back.

Whoever approved this piece will probably get a talk from Sideshow management...

I hoping that it's proximity to the Green Goblin PF would improve Spidey.

that is a lot of stuff!!!! :chew

I really wanted this piece but alas, I had to draw the line somewhere!

I haven't gotten the shipping notice yet, but I'm looking forward to it. I think people are cancelling only because there is SO MUCH shipping rather than people thinking it's inferior. I think once owner pics start popping up there will be a run on them.

i can't wait to match mine up with Green Goblin!!

I also cancelled as there is something not good about this statue. He is not like the spider man that is neighbourhood friendly or the pose is not good for spider. It has to be more dynamic imo.

BTW, the pose is from marvel comic book "secret war"

....just curious...what does neighborhood friendly look like?...I kinda get a visual of the 40yr old virgin.

I kept my order and it will be here Tuesday.
It may not be the best PF but I think it looks fine after seeing it in person.

My thoughts... Poor pose, poor choice of blending material, and poor exclusive..

Me thinks we need another 1/4 spidey...

speedracer has received his already & posted pics oer @ statueforums:

That was the case for me with the Wolvie Comiquette Ex.; I had Iron Man, the Spider-Man PF and the Medicom VCD Vader and Stormtrooper coming, it was all just a little overwhelming. Since I already have the Wolvie Vs. Sabertooth Dio It made the decision to cancel his comiquette a little easier. That and the fact that my wife would have divorced me for sure!

I would have paid double for this if they had done Spidey in the classic, Romita Sr style or even a cool retro Ditko-look. McFarlane and his influence is the worst thing to ever happen in comics, IMO.

I prefer Erik Larsen's Spidey run on Amazing Spider-Man over the McFarlane run. I am sure I am in a minority on that one. I started collecting comics around that time as well.

It's funny because The HulkVsSpidey diorama is sort of an amalgamation of different styles. Hulk is all McFarlane. Martin Canale nailed that part. Spidey is a bit tougher to call. There is some Mark Bagley on it with a hint of Mcfarlane. The eyes are not McFarlane though.

The Spidey PF just seems a bit flat footed. No particular artist style stands out on it and that may be part of the problem I have with it.

I don't know what exactly that means, you better ask Stan Lee

However, my understanding of this wors is this:
