Iron Studios 1/4 scale Spiderman

[SLO_MO]

I'm in the camp that this is too busy a piece and spidey is sorta lost in all of it for me. But I love that we are getting so many great choices from SS, IS, Prime1, XM etc such that there seems to be a new release every month to satisfy our diverse taste. Cheers to the manufacturers for the recent offerings

Yeah I'm very interested to see what Prime 1 does - a lot of their stuff is amazing. Has it been confirmed if their offerings will be comic based? I would think that maybe they were working on items for the new marvel videogames.

I'm not a big Spidey fan, but I fell in love with this piece when I saw it. A work of art is a work of art. I can't wait till they ship it out next month (fingers crossed). What I really love about it is that it's very detailed and can be admired from all angles. I ordered an electrical turntable for this piece so that I can rotate it every once in a while without having to touch it too much. I really, really hope it fits in my besta well enough to rotate otherwise i will have to fork over some more cash for a custom display. =(

This is my favorite spiderman piece I have seen to date, since I am a huge comic fan. Going to be interesting to see what XM comes out with. I have no interest in the movie spiderman personally so if Prime 1 is movie version I am an easy pass on that one.

Love it or hate it the iron studios spiderman is unique

Aren't P1's Marvel items on hold or delayed or something ?

 

[Shoo]

Yes, they will be comic-based, and yes, they're delayed

If there is one critique I've heard that just boggles my mind and is borderline insulting to comic creators and artists alike it's this one.

Not anatomically possible on a real human.

To me that is coming from someone who doesn't even read or know about comics.

Last time I checked the song was:

Spider-Man
Spider-Man
Does whatever a spider CAN

Not:

Spider-Man
Spider-Man
Does only whatever a human with no powers can

This whole "I can't see any human being able to do this". It's quite possibly the anti argument for comics in and of themselves. He's Spider-Man. The most agile super powered hero in Marvel. To me it's the equivalent of someone seeing a Mr Fantastic aka Reed Richards statue and saying: "I don't like this statue. There is no way a human being can stretch their torso 10 feet like that. Makes my torso hurt just looking at it."

Spider-man isn't a normal human. Quoting Wikipedia: he is able to flex his body like a contortionist, assuming postures that would be impossible or harmful for normal humans. His tendons and connective tissues are at least twice as elastic as the average human being's.

This has been proven and shown for over 50 years thousands of times. Not hundreds. But thousands of times.


So love it or hate it... Saying "no human being can..." What? Turn green and into a behemoth? Have claws protrude from their knuckles? Be a god who swings a magic mallet? Contort their body into nay impossible poses because of their power set?

I sometimes feel like people are just being statue political at this point on here when I read something like this, as the inmates are running the prison on SSF and we all know it. The reply of "Everyone is titled to their opinion" is fine as well.

But not on this.

Spidey is a freak contortionist that would make a normal contortionist look like someone who could only sit indian style. That is cannon and fact. And facts, whether we like them or not, are very stubborn things.

This, this, this, this!!!!
people acting like they've never read spidey comics before.
The character is renowned for awkward and flexible movements.
Saying you don't like the statue is one thing, but criticizing him for not moving like a "human" is a bit silly when you consider who we're talking about.

 

[Destroyous]

It's basically the greatest pose I've ever seen on a statue.

 

[Aphotic]

The spidey pose does grow on you and is a nice throwback to the comics. There are instances and certain positions that make it look awkward. This piece is definitely growing on me, I think there are a few of us on the fence that want to see in hand pictures before any triggers are pulled haha

 

[ambasah]

this is the best spiderman statue I have ever seen and am grateful that a company dared to make something so different.

 

[danny_addick]

Cannot wait. Best spidey I've seen - I'll decide between this and the comiquette when it arrives and keep my favourite.

I'd like an update on timing though.

I agree this could be iron studios Xm magneto. The statue that puts then on the map. Pose, sculpt, base, love it all

Very nice set up! I've been contemplating if I should get the ssc iron spidey or just wait for xm's. Probably will be a good while before that gets released though.

 

[CF79]

Looks great FF76!

thank you
