That's what I'm talking about! Great pics guys! Reminds me of apoc. Bad pics were scaring people off. These shots look great.

Nothing wrong with this statue B. Don't get me wrong, I don't believe in mint/perfect, you can always find something on these things but this is a good one.

Just unboxed mine! Very happy with him.
Although he is small!

He's 1/5th. Of course he's gonna be smaller. This piece really had a ton of presence and personality that I really don't even notice the size when looking at it. To me if a statue can make you forget about scale every time you look at it that means something.

Well I wish I could report a perfect spiderman but mine arrived today with some issues. Spiderman himself was actually pretty decent. Couple small blemishes in the lines which weren't really all that noticeable and a paint glob other two but very small. I know it's hard to get the suit painted well. Has been for most companies that have released a spiderman statue. Because of the difficulty of the various lines in his costume. His foot does fit perfectly flush in the base which I was really happy about. The major issue I had was with the base. Whatever clear coat adhesive they used to put the wall decal on with has a huge puddle of something that was applied way to heavy and it looks really bad at most angles. I'd be completely content with this statue and the few small issues if it wasn't for the base... Still undecided as to whether or not I'm going to opt for an exchange or just send it back. I don't like making quick decisions on my babies so I'm going to leave him displayed for a couple days and see how I feel about it in a week or two.
On a more positive note it really is a nice statue overall. The paint doesn't look glossy in person like it's showing in pictures. It's definitely nothing like the prototype but I don't think the paint looks nearly as bad as others have stated. I think the shading in the costume was done rather well. I don't think he's too small like many have said. Up next to the original CQ he looks tiny but he can easily be displayed with several of the statues I own already rather nicely. Especially Venom and Carnage. In the comics Venom and Carnage always appeared to be huge in size compared to Spiderman and I think he stacks up rather nicely with those two. The only nitpick I have with the actual sculpt are his extended fingers. Elongated index finger is an understatement but still overall SS did a good job on the sculpt.
If your a collector that missed out on the original but would like a really nice looking spiderman to display with your collection look no further. This statue is for you. If you have the original (just my opinion) there's no need to drop the money on this one. The original is Defintely the undisputed Spider Man champion of my marvel collection. Just my personal preference peeps. I was really hoping that this version would wow me and I'd be able to part with the original to fund some upcoming releases but that ain't happening!

Oh its all good King. They really aren't that bad. I'm probably over analyzing just a bit. I tend to do that with statues. It's definitely not a make or break by any means. They just seem a little longer then normal. Hey you know what they about guys with big hands and big feet? Mary Jane knows what's up.
I'm still leaning towards keeping this. My main hesitation is I want to keep spiderman and all his attachments and just have the base replaced. Just terrified if I do that he won't fit into the next base that they send as perfect as this one. Then I'll be **** out of luck as I don't see SS sending me yet another replacement if the only issue I have is a small gap.... Oh the decisions we face as collectors! Real world problems yo
Well, I have faith it will fit. Just put in a ticket with them. Got a pic of said glob?

Hi. First time commenting, long time stalker 
. I could use some help. I have gotten many Sideshow statues in the past (TMNT line, Mary Jane) and all of them have looked great but I just go this one today. No huge issues (breaks or gashes) but there are multiple paint flaws where there are black smudges and parts where the blue of his suit ran into the red. Like I said nothing major but its bugging me a bit considering the premium price of the statue. I am considering contacting Sideshow about it but I do not want to seem like I'm quibbling over small imperfections (and maybe even worse I get one in worse condition). I added some pics. If anyone wants to check them out and let me know what you think as far as whether I should contact Sideshow I would really appreciate it. Thanks!

Just a quick look see and I those issues don't seem to bad other than the reg portrait. I'd see if I could get that replaced for sure. I mean, you could try for the full body replacement and keep the one that looks the best if they decide to send you one. Doesn't hurt to reach out and see what they say. Maybe even a credit for said imperfections?

I would asked for a full replacement, people have to stop letting SS off the hook with their shoddy QC.... I'm not saying the statue has to be 100% perfect but it should at least be over 90% IMO....

Yeah even my TMNT collectibles have a few minor issues and, like you said Dan, I definitely do not expect 100% but this is the first statue I have ever gotten from Sideshow that I have been disappointed in. It is just kind of bugging me knowing those imperfections are there even though they are not that bad like KingB said. The base is perfect but the statue definitely has its flaws. I guess I will take your advice and contact them and upload the same pictures and see what they say. Thanks for the advice!

You can definitely see it in these pics but it looks a lot worse in person. If you look at the difference in shading in one half of the eye on the wall vs the darker half you'll see just how wide of a goob it is. The adhesive was over applied just a bit! Haha

Just tonight, I've gotten three invoices and three shipping notices.....These guys really need to get their **** together
-Tav, sorry about the issues brother...I hope you get a great replacement if you decide to go that route.
Mine has shipped finally! Should be here Friday!
Well boys and girls. I have managed to dodge a possible QC nightmare/ bullet. It looks top notch and happy there were no smudges or major imperfections or damage. I am so relieved and will be keeping this. Here's on quick snap. I'll hopefully take a few more in natural light tomorrow.

-Congrats King! On a good looking Spidey!
