At Comic-Con of 2013 in San Diego, Sideshow presented a group of three statues devoted to the world of Spider-Man and the unmistakable style of the talented Jeffrey Scott Campbell. In addition to the hero, depicted in one of his most iconic poses, the group included two very elegant pieces dedicated to Mary Jane Watson and Gwen Stacy, the two key-women in the life of Peter Parker, in the (rather usual) 1:5 scale of the Sideshow Comiquettes. Later, the same line was further enriched with a black (classic) version of Spidey and a very nice statue of Black cat. All of the pieces were designed by Campbell, while the sculpt and painting were mainly handled by Steve Schumacher and Kat Sapene, respectively. The first piece to be released was Mary Jane, with a very wide edition size of 6000 pieces. Due to the particular pose of the character (sitting on a small pouf), the size is quite small (15 x 15 cm), with a height of just 29 cm and a weight of only 2.3 Kg. The statue is very appealing: MJ flaunts a physique as a true top-model and overflowing with sex-appeal. The body is sinuous and slim, showing a generous decolletage and a perfect silhouette. The wife of Peter is barefoot, wearing a pair of ripped jeans and a short, tight-fitting shirt, with the costume of Spider Man resting on her shoulders. The attention to details is very high. Note the perfect design of the spider web on the suit and the color shades on back, the multi-colored covers of small magazines on the pouf and its shape, slighty curved because of the body weight, the realism of the tension in the costume's sleeves (drawn by both thumbs) and the very good painting on abdomen, legs and arms. The oval face of Mary Jane is awesome and very faithful to the style of Campbell: an excellent make-up highlights the wonderful blue eyes of the top-model, her sensual red lips and the graceful, small and uphill nose, as well as her freckles. A long red hair partially covers the forehead and falls down up to the breast level. The statue devoted to Gwen Stacy is a heap of refinement and elegance! It was released with a run of 4000 pieces and has a limited size of only 18 x 13 cm, with a height of 46 cm and a weight of 3.6 Kg. The blonde girls is depicted with a breathtaking body, walking under the rain with an open unmbrella and wearing a very sexy minskirt, a tight shirt and a graceful trench. The figure is really attractive and shows two long, slim legs (painted with delicious pink nuances and highlighted by the high-heeled boots), a perfect waistline and a beautiful breast, emphasized by the wide neckline. Note the elegance of the pose, with the trunk slightly rotated backward, the rounded body contours shining through the adherent clothes, the long blonde air and the trench moved by the wind and the thin, manicured hands, embellished with e dark red enamel. Also the Gwen face is very nice and painted in a masterful way. The somatic traits are very pleasant, with the closed eyes revealing the girl's light blue makeup and a dazzling smile pointed out by a brilliant red lipstick. However, in this piece two original details immediately catch the eye. First, the top of the umbrella, perfectly shaped, which depicts the mask of Spider Man and provides the whole piece with an excellent chromatic impact; second, the presence of various fragile and tiny raindrops, both on the base and the umbrella, which enhances the realism of the scene and represents a real touch of class! Finally, the Spider-Man statue was the only one to be released in a regular (3500 pieces) and an exclusive version (1750 pieces), equipped with an additional head partially showing the unmasked face of Peter Parker. The dynamic pose vaguely reminds the Comiquette and is very typical for the character: due to his incredible powers, in fact, Spidey is firmly anchored on a vertical wall by his feet, with both arms bent and the hands open in the classic pose of launch of the web. The physique is long-limbed, but exhibits a hyper-defined and powerful musculature, especially on legs and abdomen. The design and painting of the web on costume is excellent, while perfect shades point out any muscle contour on the blue patches. Note the incredibly thin and long fingers of both hands, the large red spider on back and the smaller black one centered on chest and carved in relief. Also the attention paid to the wall is amazing: its section reveals an inner brick structure and, on the back, it is enriched with a metallic drainpipe. Both faces are very well done and faithful to Campbell's style: the white patches at the eyes are large and equipped with a rather curved, elongated design and a well balanced thickness of the black contours; the small nose is the only bump appearing on the mask, while the exclusive version shows a sly smile very appropriate to depict the ironic personality of the young Parker. In my humble opinion, this trio represents a must for any fan of Spidey, due to the excellent design of all pieces, their elegance, the wonderful painting and the top-quality sculpt. Not by chance, and in spite of an excessive run, the market quotations (especially of Mary Jane and Gwen statues) have risen notably, thus confirming the generall appreciation of all collectors.
