My first impression was being surprised at how enormous it was. Coming in at 24 inches with the base, what really sets this apart is how wide/long it is. Spider-Man’s off the wall in a pose you don’t really see from any other characters. You need a serious amount of space to display something like this. It has a fair bit of heft to it as well so make sure whatever you’re displaying it on can support it.

I was surprised they fully sculpted and painted the back of the wall, which probably knocked the price up (the price was a complaint when it was released, not that it prevented it from shooting up in value) but considering you might want to display it from the side, that was definitely a good idea. You wouldn’t want some unfinished looking sculpture when your friends check it from different angles.

Besides the iconic and unique pose, the best part about this is it LOOKS like Spider-Man. The way the eyes are shaped and the emotion they’re expressing, the pose, even the base has a good Manhattan feel. Just looking at this statues seems like it’s straight out of a comic.

One issue I have is that the musculature is a bit intense. Spidey’s certainly ripped, but it’s a bit much for my ideal Spider-Man. Though it matches very well with the Venom, which had crazy huge musculature. The back and butt areas in particular, they’re not quite distracting, but I would’ve been down with them calming down a little! Still, a minor point.

The paint on the base is fantastic. Great weathering and colours, look at the dirt and wear around the edges and the differently colored bricks. Spider-Man himself is painted pretty well but there’s some linework that could be better. The one I received is far better than some of the ones I’ve seen, they had completely unpainted lines in some cases. If you’re looking for one, make sure to ask about the paint! You can see some of the paint issues on the front of the mask in the large picture I posted. Keep in mind, that is a fair bit larger than life though.

The exclusive is an art print. It’s not quite the style of print I like displaying but that’s how it goes sometimes with these exclusive prints.

4.5/5. Arguably the best Spider-Man statue to date in terms of the impressive size, pose, and look. Though my favourite is still the 1/6th Diamond Select statue I reviewed way back in the day, it doesn’t have the same impact as this.

Though I’m thinking I should start updating a regular exclusives list for the big conventions.
