Statue Sideshow Spider-Man Mark Brooks statue

Agreed. That tornado-webbing of a base needs to go.

Manager: "So, How long did it take to finish spider man statue?"
Sculptor: "It tool me 45 hours and 5 minutes."
Manager: "What's up with 5 mins?"
Sculptor: "Oh yeah! that's how long I spent on the base while I ate my pizza."

The base is different. I don't love it, but I don't hate it.

I think it's the other pieces in the line that will inevitably get me to buy this one.

i won't pass up another chance to reiterate how much that base ruins that Spidey sculpt. they finally remember to give Pete a nose and then do this to make up for it. ugh.

I did pre-order this because I simply love the Ditko looking Spider Man. I actually have not seen another non Symbiote Spider Man statue I have ever liked before. I always had issues with the pose, sculpt, etc. so I decided to get this one.

Yes, the base sucks. It's just odd. I have watched a couple You Tube videos on it and it doesn't annoy me in those as much as it does in still photos. But for me wanting a Spidey that looked like the Spidey I grew up with is why I got it. Perfect world, Spidey has Gwen's base but oh well.

Lastly, the half Spidey/half Peter head is creepy and will never be displayed. Overall happy with this since Spidey looks Amazing and let's face it, I don't really stare at the bases on my other statues that often but the character.

My desire to collect this line has hauled.

I'm happy for those that like it though.

If I want it, I'll probably wait for eBay.

My interest in spider-man has been reignited lately with what time I've spent on the PS4 game. (Game's phenomenal)


That said, I've been eyeing a premium format or maquette Spider-man to fit my growing statue collection, but have never jumped on any because of the poses that Spiderman's been coming in... (my main fear is stability and space constraint).

This Mark Brooks line seems to be just nice in terms of size and pose, though I must say the base is an extremely odd choice that none of us in our wildest, full out stoned or drunk state would come up with. That said, I am considering a purchase.
Was wondering if there would be any custom artists who would either craft up an alternate base/ headsculpt if the demand is large enough? Or is there already an existing artist who does such customs? Would love an alternate base for this.

I don't have as much of an issue with the base as some, although I get the reasoning why some people don't care for it.

With that said, I'm curious to know if there are people that do custom bases for statues, like singcityjosh was suggesting.

Statue looks nice but the base is not up to par and at 1/5 scale, I'm out.

 

[Sweet Rabbit]

Still looks bad

 

[Phoenixblazes]

Does anyone actually like the base?!

 

[AC_808]

Nope. Don't think anyone does.

Here's a guy that does:

Hint: look for an art director.

 

[maximus_73]

Does anyone have picture of Spiderman without the base... I am considering display him without the base.

Would have been so easy to have designed a winner:

What were they thinking??

Their art direction is questionable sometimes. Your quick mock up looks MUCH better.

 

[Craig Walker]

Yeah, I just put the corner wall of the Legendary scale. But it shows what it could have looked like.

 

[maximus_73]

I want to display without the base but I don't know if possible.

I figured out what would make the base awesome: Add sharks.
