We'll eventually find out through Sideshow.

Looks like Tbolt is on your arse there Spidey. Gotta love those member that'll follow you and track your past post...
Lol, they were literally the top two posts on this board at the time, no detective skills required!
Really, seems like any banter about these things irks someone.
Wouldn't be the first time one statue came with the print for the set would it? Wasn't this the case with Rogue/Gambit?
I just happen to think this group and the new Cap can go toe to toe with the grails. I get why people question the eyes/raindrops, but to me, they make this piece more interesting!

LOL...true
The funny thing is I'm not buying a single one of these statues. My Spidey thirst was satisfied with the trilogy.
You are about the prints happening with the Gambit PF.
These new piece my go toe to toe with past grails, but they'll never see eye to eye. Because the grails will always tower over them...just saying...

Well I think the new Cap for sure makes a case for itself.
Spidey for Spidey the original gets the nod, but he works with other 1/4, this is really meant as a stand alone.
I just think these new pieces speak for themselves and an owner doesn't have to feel like they 'settled'.
That said, if I had the original, not sure I would be interested, a little too similar, and the ladies themselves would be out of scale. But soooo many new collectors on board that never had that chance.

I would love if Spidey had prints of all 3 plus COH as the exclusive.

All this discussion is great and it is interesting to hear what people do and don't like about a given statue or series as well as their reasons for passing on them or purchasing them.
I've only been collecting for a short time so I find your opinions and advice are quite valuable (most of the time).
Personally, I feel that this line is definitely going to be a success because the pieces are very appealing and very different from other statues of these characters. I do see the artists style in the sculpts and think that the 2D to 3D conversion was masterfully executed. Just sayin'...

So I will start by agreeing with you... I think the New Cap is going t be a damn fine piece, and that it will make a FANTASTIC addition to ANYONE'S collection... AND.... It will be able to STANDALONE, and there in lies one of my MAIN problems with this line.
None of these statues can truly stand on its own. The mere fact that they are 1/5 scale will mess that up. MJ and Gwen would be towered over by any of the other Marvel Women PFs, and Spidey will just look small on his own when put beside the other big guns like Batman, Superman, and Hulk. So you would have to buy at least two of them, and the completists will buy all three, and that will be ATLEAST $800 to complete the set. I know I would have to get Spidey and MJ, and I would only be happy with MJ really. I am sorry to say for me that would be 'settling', and while it may cost me as much as the entire new trio here to get the original Spiderman Comiquette, at least when I put him beside Batman and Superman he won't look Robin sized.
My collection is gong to be very limited in number, and only my favorite characters will be in it. So I won't get a Spiderman I am not happy with, the name says it all really. I am so glad that others love this trio, I love that collectors are excited about it, but it isn't for me. I wish it could be.

The original Triology were all Canale and Gore Group, and that brings a whole lot of greatness...

Ummm... No
Same pose they just reversed the legs and brought the other arm forward, and sure the wall is different, but he is still clinging to a brick wall. MAYBE if the new Com had a more original concept, actually swinging perhaps, I could get behind it more, but to me it is begging to be compared to the original, and that is a MAJOR issue for it in my mind as it falls short IMHO.
As for the 2D to 3D conversion being masterfully done, that is YOUR opinion, and in MY opinion the facial sculpts are WAY OFF the mark. I am not saying they are ugly or anything, but they lost a whole lot of J. Scott's basic style, and personally Gwen suffers more from the loss then MJ does.... Just sayin...

Although I have always wanted to give you the benefit of the doubt, it really sounds as though you are now simply trying to justify your decision not to get this statue (or set of statues) when justification is really not required. The two statues in question have a completely different feel and mood to them. Simply the fact that they are both posed on a wall clearly does not make them the same.

Yes, as I had stated, it is definitely MY opinion. What I think carries more weight than your light argument, however, is that JSC thought enough of these pieces to put his name behind them and I'm pretty sure he knows his own art style better than anyone else might.

Yeah but no. Im sorry but i have to interject... this is the same exact sculpt with both hands springing webs instead of one on a spray painted wall. It was a remake with slight variations from a sculpt already perfected except this one is 1/5 scale. Im buying it but lets not pretend SS reinvented themselves with this sculpt

Sigh.... You know... I am just going to bow out m8. I could go into a 6 paragraph explanations and use PS and everything to show you my reasons, arguments, and points .... None of which are light by the way.... BUT... there IS NO POINT. All I will actually accomplish is pissing off the guys who love this piece, who have ordered it, and who will be proud to own it. I am not getting it so what right do I have to do that .... None.

for you thinking your opinion carries "more weight", for you it does, and that is fine, but I will say, the simple fact that stated something like that ... Well ....
Although the last part of your paragraph made no sense to me, I would simply like to clarify a couple of things that may have been unintentionally misconstrued.
I did NOT state that my opinion held more weight than anyone else's opinion. What I stated was simply that if JSC, the artist in question, has decided to stand behind and endorse this signature line of statues in their current form that he must be pleased with how they have turned out. As you probably know, before final sculpts are approved, the artist has input into what they feel needs to be changed to accurately bring "their" special art style to life. Who knows what these pieces looked like in the early stages. The point is that JSC has approved these and HIS opinion does carry more weight TO ME.
As for Spiderman's sculpt being a rework, I DO understand how a collector may not want a similar pose for two statues and that is fair but, again, this was based on a particular artist's work and Spiderman DOES spend a lot of time in that type of position. To me, this looks like an entirely new piece thanks to the facial expression and body style. There is no need to waste time in Photoshop to try and show that his legs or other body parts may be at a similar angle to those of another statue because, being that both statues are of the same character, that would be expected.
This is a forum and voicing your opinion is great but it is probably a good idea not to take offense when others do not wholeheartedly agree with your point of view (I'm not saying that you have done that, I am simply making a general statement). We don't all see things the same way, thankfully, and I think that is what helps to keep discussions interesting, in my opinion.

I stand corrected as I misread what you typed. However, I am still out of this. While I have far more to say, like I said, I am not ordering these and don't want to say or do anything that may affect the enjoyment others get from them.

There's not much engineering involved on that one
