'Back in Black' Spider-Man Comiquette

Manufacturer: Sideshow
Sculpted by: Not sure
Dimensions: 16.5" H x 8.5" W x 13.5" D
Edition Size: Unknown
Release Date:June 2009
Retail Price: $269.99

Points in favor:
  • Clean colors - as you can't really do that much with black and white
Points against:
  • Similar in Design and Pose as the Iron Spider-Man
  • As with the Iron Spider-Man, he may have one more muscle than humanly possible.
While I am leaning toward liking this statue, this appears to be nothing more than the Iron Spider-Man sans the tentacles. So, what this really comes down to is which one you prefer.

Updated Recommendation: Pass - Robert is right about the eyes.

While I wouldn't mind having a Spider-Man in the black costume, I am not quite certain that I would spend the $269.99 for this one.

Additional note from Robert: If you want to spend that kind of money on a cool Spider-Man, I'd recommend following Zimm's previously recommendation of the Armored Spider-Man by Sideshow Toys.

Also, they got the eyes wrong.

I thought something was wrong with the eyes and I didn't figure it out until you mentioned it. I'm going to update to a PASS
