Apart from
the price - $700 - (that we’ll all have to get used to regarding Prime 1:4 figures from
now on), I’m all praises to the 2099 Spider-Man. Finally, a piece from Prime 1
that exhales personality. I loved the base even don’t understand it because I’m
not a 2099 reader, but I assume it have to have a meaning in the context of the
character, with its complex geometry and, yes, the lights. It sums for an
awesome display.
The pose is
another plus, pretty cool and full of movement, a novelty as far as released Prime
1 statues go. The sculpt of Spider-Man is spot on as fantastically detailed,
with all the wrinkles and textures coming together in a very nice composition. They
manage to put an expression within the mask that really add personality to the
statue. Another novelty to the generally expressionless Prime 1 figures. The
translucent effects on the webs and the smoke are not gratuitous and also adds
to the overall coolness of the statue. I’m especially impressed by the spider
in the uniform and the claws. I loved the modelling of the feet both above and
below it. The painting is flawless, as one might expect from Prime 1, but is a
relatively simple dichromatic figure, so is not something that’s really eye grabber,
apart from the precision of it.
I can see
collectors having a hard time choosing between this and the new Deadpool PF as
this looks like will be the first Prime 1 figure for a lot Sideshow diehard
fans. Deadpool is a much prominent character, even though it received too much
exposition what may cause an overkill and Spider 2099, well… it’s not really
Spider-Man (even though it looks cooler and darker than your friendly
neighborhood). I got curious because the alternate head show protuberant fangs
on whoever is behind the mask. Not the greatest exclusive ever and I wouldn’t
display the figure with this alternate head but let’s be honest, this figure
doesn’t need nothing than it already have. So where will you spend your $700: Sideshow
Deadpool or Spider-Man 2099?
