Following the release of the highly dynamic "Spider-Man" figure, American collectible manufacturer Sideshow Collectibles has once again unveiled a new Spider-Man entry from MARVEL for its "Premium Format Figure" series: the "Spider-Man Noir" full-body statue! Both a Collector Edition and an Exclusive Edition will be released simultaneously, with an estimated shipping date in Q1 2024.
Spider-Man Noir first appeared in the inaugural issue of the 2009 comic *Spider-Man Noir*. His story is set in Earth-90214 during the 1930s Great Depression era. His real name is "Peter Benjamin Parker." Thanks to the film *Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse*, Spider-Man Noir has become more widely known. In the original comics, he contends with powerful gangsters and corrupt businessmen, and can generate organic webbing from his body to fight crime. His spider mask is fashioned from the goggles and fabric Uncle Ben used during World War I, making for a fascinating setting with strong ties to reality.
This piece stands approximately 67.9 cm tall, capturing Spider-Man Noir in an agile pose atop architectural debris with an incredibly dynamic feel. Beyond the extensively stretched action, the highly three-dimensional folds of his suit and the flowing sculpt of his trench coat's hem further enhance the visual tension. While the overall color scheme is predominantly black and white, cinematic cool and warm gradient paint applications can be observed throughout. His distinctive spider mask, fedora, grappling hook gun held in his right hand, and leather-textured long boots are all meticulously sculpted. The base also features a Daily Bugle newspaper with the headline "Who is Spider-Man?".
▼ The Exclusive Edition will also include an alternate head sculpt with a damaged mask and a swap-out right hand holding the ancient artifact "Spider-Idol" (tentative translation).
