meh, i dont concern myself with scale. im just a dude who buys stuff he likes, and if that stuff isnt in scale with something else, whatever. but aside from that, i dont have or want any of the other sideshow spidey stuff, so its really a moot point for me. for my money, this spidey works because i like the way it looks. and thats it. and honestly, isnt what this is all about? IMO people get too hung up on matching the carpet with drapes so to speak with these things. to the point where they wont buy something they like because of it, and more inclined to buy something they like less. at the end of it, nobody looking is going to care. most people who see these displays arent "impressed" with our nerdiness, and arent giving us extra points for our ocd to keep everything in scale.
i like the sideshow spidey, but not near what i think about this sculpt, and atop of it, its like 900 bucks now. he's got a nose people! and generally, 1/4's are huge and take up space from other future statues.
looks better - check
cheaper - check
leaves more space for other awesome statues - check
