Cancelled. You know me and collectors editions but this is such a letdown, I mean was that really worth all the hype and build up? Especially for the price they asking, I'm sorry but it's not worth £129.99 at all. The statue looks pretty poor for that price and small, only the size of a steelbook.

A lot of people were expecting a huge, Halo Reach like statue with Spiderman clashing with one or maybe more of the Sinister Six not him on top of a jumped pile of their outfits. I don't even know what's spoiler like with this edition aswell when we knew the Sinister Six were involved since E3.

For comparisons sake look at the Batman Arkham Knight Collectors Edition for example.

That was £89.99 at launch and the statue, which was great quality, even lit up. Very underwhelming.

Thatguy-3102057d ago

they showed way too much before the game came out

Nitrowolf22057d ago

Yeah I saw the same response from a few people who got it as well. I get what they are doing with it,but it just doesn’t work IMO when it really just looks like spiderman perched on a pile of junk

-Foxtrot2057d ago (Edited 2057d ago )

If they made it really big and expanded on the outfits within the pile then I could see it working but even then I don't think it would have looked amazing.

Spiderman facing Doc Ock
Spiderman with the Sinister Six surrounding him
Spiderman and Mary Jane
Spiderman clashing with Mr Negative
A Spiderman bust
A high quality replica of his mask and web shooters
Replicas of his other gadgets

I could go on...there was a huge list of other options they could have gone with instead of trying to cram so much on one small statue. Jeez man I'd have even taken a higher quality statue of just Spiderman.

deadfrag2056d ago

But the fact is that is not,you actually have to see it to appreciate the craft and detail.

zaherdab2057d ago (Edited 2057d ago )

Think might cancel mine as well .... i expected it to be bigger but it looks rather small, i bought some of the MS collector editions late after they were out i think halo 5 cost me 50 canadian and re-core was 60 and those are huge and their quality really shows ... this on the other hand for 200 canadian ... i duno.
I mean horizon and uncharted 4 are and god of war were like 170 $ and they seem to be better quality than this..... i ll rewatch the video again on a bigger screen and decide

thatguyhayat2057d ago

Yeah i ordered this and too late to cancel as its been shipped already

-Foxtrot2057d ago

Depends where you got it from but I got mine from GAME and they told me to just reject the delivery. It's sent back, it gets noted and they'll refund you.

Seraphim2057d ago

while I'd still love one I have to agree. It looks like a letdown. While I'd be happy to have one I'd also be incredibly let down. The statue isn't what was shown simply based off Spidermans stance. Guess that's why, to the best of my knowledge, they never did show the final product this Summer. And for the price, yes, it's small and they went overly complicated with cramming in all the characters features. On top of that the price of $130. Forget how much Horizon Zero Dawn cost me but that is a nice size piece w/ great detail. Or GoW 3 with Pandoras Box, Last Guardian CE, Killzone 3 CE.... I understand these figures aren't cheap to produce but this is just weak compared to what little they had shown and what one expects not only based off what was shown but Sonys own CE in the past.

-Foxtrot2057d ago

It’s funny you mention that because they did say it was going to get a Summer reveal and all of a sudden it’s “a spoiler”. Sudden 180.

I think they had issues with the statue and they ended up with this.

You’re right the pose in the promo pic is different.

Xb1ps42057d ago (Edited 2057d ago )

I agree as soon as I seen it I thought it was corny. Didn’t even know what he was standing on until you mentioned it..

Very corny.... however, I cant f’n wait to play the game though. just under 6 hrs before I can download the game!

deadfrag2056d ago

Are you really comparing that Batman edition to this piece,the piece is not big has big like the Batman Arkham Knight one but has much more detail than the Arkham Knight piece, the craftmanship of this piece is way above the Arkham Knight one.

My friend who have pre-ordered the CE just saw the thumbnail on this "article". Lets me put this mildly, I think he seriously is going to travel across the globe just to show his new baseball bat for the noob that posted it... ;)

Zeke682057d ago

Thank god you guys changed the thumbnail pic, but still, you ruined the Collectors Edition for my friend anyway... He get his C:E tomorrow with the mail so.. he ain't happy, let me tell you that...

Smokehouse2057d ago

I was expecting something better. We already know those characters are in the game, why do you need to wait until you beat it to unbox it lol. I don’t get it.

Dark_Knightmare22056d ago

people didn’t know about one character

deadfrag2056d ago

Very well craft and detail a bargain for the price.

Neonridr2056d ago

damn.. I don't want to watch the video, but looking at the blurred photo it definitely looks a little underwhelming. My Kratos and Aloy statues are pieces of work and look amazing on my shelf. This thing looks flat and plain. And I don't know if it was worth the "new" pricing scheme for these Collectors Editions. I guess I could always not open it and return it to Best Buy...

Why couldn't they have made it look amazing?

deadfrag2056d ago (Edited 2056d ago )

First this is a statue of Spider-man a icon you can not even compare it to Aloy and Kratos thats the truth, the piece and its not what the video seems to show ,its not massive like the Kratos one but its well made,detail out of the ordinary,its not for everyone likings but i love it and frankly the price is suitable not to mention for collectors and Marvel aficionados its a must its a rare piece. Well my collector dost me 135€ and for me its well spent on this edition.

Neonridr2056d ago

The problem is the Horizon and God of War ones were cheaper, and the quality of the statues are ridiculous. So why is it ok to justify the additional price for a lower quality statue just because it's Spider-man.

The Death Of Arkham Has Me Worried About Spider-Man

Saad from eXputer: "After the rise of Rocksteady and its fall with post-Suicide Squad, I'm worried about Marvel's Spider-Man suffering a similar fate."

Hofstaderman19d ago

Why? According to the well publicized Insomniac leaks they have a slew of plans for Spiderman including its sequel.

CrimsonWing6919d ago

The sequel has had rumors that it could be sold piecemeal style or might be GaaS.

https://youtu.be/XCFr3KRB9G...

This is all coming from the leaks you mentioned. The problem is the industry is not doing well no matter how ill-informed people spin it on here when they see “sold 3 mill.” In those Sony leaks it showed the struggle to get ROI and they spend an insane amount of money to develop, which makes 0 sense to me when there’s not much to show for the increased development costs. Case in point would be Suicide Squad vs Arkham Knight.

I believe we’re in the middle of seeing a drastic change in media and distribution. This goes for movies, but more so for games and the industry is scrambling to figure out how to get more money out of consumers rather than stick to the “buy it once” to play it all.

https://www.theverge.com/20...

These are things you need to pay attention to in order to know which direction the wind’s blowing with this sh*t storm. I was almost certain the GaaS initiative was killed when Jim was leaving, but now seeing the success of Helldivers 2… I’m thinking we’re in for a bumpy ride. I just don’t know what that looks like yet, but I don’t think it’s gonna be pretty.

Insomniac still has a good generation left in them before they get cannibalized by investors. It'll probably happen around the mid PS6 gen, when we see the beginning of the fall.

dmonee19d ago

Huh with this article? If Sony and Insomniac want to abandoned the Spider-Man franchise and make a half baked, live service Spider-Man game, and miss the mark with their fans, then God bless’em!!!!

Seems unlikely when they abandoned the GaaS spiderverse game but are still going ahead with single player games like Wolverine and Spider-Man 3.

Spider-Man 2 (2004) and Ultimate Spider-Man use to be my favorite until Insomniac games took over.

Inverno153d ago

I'd still choose Ultimate above all other games, followed by Shattered Dimensions

Abnor_Mal153d ago (Edited 153d ago )

My favorite and still champion Spiderman PS2, followed by Marvels Spiderman2, then Miles Morales, followed by Marvels Spiderman, and finally Ultimate Spiderman.

I need to drag out my PS3 and try Web of Shadows, owned the game for years and years and never played.

Rimeskeem153d ago

Shout out to cultured vultures for NOT making this 40 separate pages.

Relientk77153d ago

Spider-Man (2000), Spider-Man 2: Enter Electro, and Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions were all so good! I have fond memories playing them.
