Premium Format New Sideshow Spider-Man (Comic) PF

[YohanezRwin]

finally.. new spidey for my new collection before XM pulled out of their spidey

 

[Josh-A-Tron]

Yeah, it sucks.

What I don't understand is people complaining about the price and still ordering.
Speak with your wallet, it's the only way SS will listen.

As I said, the only way I'll get this is if the Ex is still available after Spook and I manage to get lots of free RPs.

I can easily afford it but it's just not worth a massive £400 to me.
Not long ago the average PF was costing me £300.

I'm still waiting on MKII Maquette production pics, IM pieces from Legacy have always been much more than a standard PF and I can order that right now for £355.

The price does suck, but I'm using rewards same as you, except I have them waiting. So I'll PO day one and get my EX, but I only plan on paying about $350 for him. A much better price point.

That collection is missing something.... needs more spiderman

Nice collection of Spidey's

Sideshow is never going to decrease their prices, so we might as well accept the new pricing on these statues. If you think it's too much, than you should not buy them and start collecting Koto's. This is just how it is now and there is nothing we can do about it, besides nobody buying anything from them, but we all know that's not going to happen. Hot Toys is steadily increasing prices too, so our hobby has gotten more and more expensive.

Great collection of spideys

I don't think anybody expects Sideshow to decrease their prices and most collectors probably expect prices to go up gradually over time. What we are seeing now are constant shifts in the pricing structure every few months and much higher than normal percentage increases year over year. Edition sizes are larger than ever before, they are getting variant happy (especially with DC), and quality control is still a major concern, which makes me wonder why we are seeing such drastic changes in the price. I personally haven't seen any evidence that Sideshow is improving their product enough to make it worth the extra money right now. I have my fair share of their statues but AA Joker, Darkseid, and Spidey are all statues I would have considered at yesterday's prices. Today they are all passes for me.

I want this but feel it will look odd in my collection with the comi what are the odds of a variant? Also what's the best way to use reward points? Do you get them every month if you have an item on flex pay? Do they expire? I feel like I should have a lot more because I only had $185 when I used them on the batman print

 

[Spidey976]

You'd be nuts to part with it to get this imho.

I am considering ordering it and seeing how I feel when I get it, BUT I can't see myself keeping 2 classic Spideys

I hear ya and I am definitely reaching a breaking point pretty soon here but it IS Spidey. I don't have a 1/4 Spidey in my collection and I'm not about to pay for the old Comi. While I'm not happy about the recent price hikes, I can still afford to get this. I only paid $400 for Arkham bats and after Spidey, it would have to be somethinng INSANELY awesome for me to pony up $470. I am getting very close to having a complete collection so I will be really picky from here on out.

 

[savageHULK]

im so excited. I just can't hide it!

 

[Golden_Boy]

I think it does just fine on it's own. You don't need GG for this piece.. The Story is right there. But for those that want it GG it's a great option and I am looking forward to seeing what they have in store.

I get that the price has you down. I don't blame you. It really sux for you UK guys.

Sucks for international in general! But overseas definitely gets hit a bit harder. As for the base and all, I agree that it works by itself. It's like the Obi-Wan/Vader Mythos statues...they tell a story just by being them. For fans of Spidey, this statue is self-explanatory. In fact, while it'll no doubt have a Green Goblin companion piece at some point, it'd probably be tough to display them as a dio unless you're talking table top!

Yeah, it sucks.

Basically what Josh said. I'm not a fan of the new price, but I haven't spent rewards points since last Spook, so I've got some saved up that'll bring this down past the previous PF baseline. I know I definitely have no desire to get Green Goblin though! I think the wallet speaking will kick up quite a few notches over the coming year or so if prices stay like this!

Variant has been confirmed, 99% certain it's a Symbiote.
You will get Reward Points, 5% of your purchase (unless you get extra reward deals), 30 after you receive your item.

Hi all,

Quick question as I'm new to collecting. Is there a certain time of the day that SSC puts pre orders up on their site? I have never tried to pre order an ex before and really would like to get this one.

Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks in advance

They go up Thursday afternoon, I think between 2pm-4pm EST. someone will know the exact times, but they're not so vital anymore as every statue is TBD for an edition size now.

So basically keep checking the Sideshow page tomorrow and you'll get one without any issue.

And welcome aboard!

Wow this thread is too much to keep up and follow with. So much to read. I better stay away for a while. One things for sure is this spidey no matter if it's great or ok. It's way better than the first PF no question in my opinion. So glad I don't have the original. The fully sculpt is perfect compare to mix media on this. Price is high so I will just buy way later down the road. Still ant find pics of the ex head anywhere. I see the webbing on his hands. It's so small lol. But I still want to see the ex COH someday would be nice.

Sideshow usually puts pre-orders up on Thursdays(though they have done a few surprise pre-orders for special variants and things like that) between 2pm and 4pm EST. You can usually check the newsletter from the week before to see up coming Pre-orders and the Sideshow blog usually also has some information.

 

[johnny1976]

Thank you. Much appreciated.

The whole thing really reminds me of a Mike Deodato Spidey panel. It kinda screams his style.

Agreed... This is a fine looking statue. The totally nailed the feeling of movement and it looks ripped right out of the comics.

Now if they would just do a Deodato Hulk
