A recently-revealed statue focusing on the titular hero from Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales is making the rounds online for its shockingly high price tag. The statue depicts the main character Miles striking a heroic pose as seen from the game's initial reveal trailer from Playstation's PS5 reveal event. While the statue itself is one of high quality with plenty of details in it, the price tag on this statue is certainly not for the faint of heart. As statues such as this one are for a very specific group of collectors, that hasn't stopped fans from admiring the hard work that has gone into it.
As one of the Playstation 5's launch titles, Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales garnered critical acclaim from fans and reviewers alike. The game's story, combat, open world, and characters were all praised on top of the fact that the game really makes the player feel like Spider-Man. From Miles' unique abilities to the other quirky characteristics that come with turning into a superhero in high school overnight, players were drawn to Miles' story of learning to be his own kind of hero for New York City. Now fans can truly show their appreciation for Miles with this brand new statue in his likeness. But, be warned. This price tag is not for the faint of heart.
The news comes from the official Twitter account of Insomniac Games. The statue, made by SideShow, is a highly detailed depiction of the newest superhero to swing into New York City, in a shot from the cinematic reveal trailer for Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales. Keen-eyed fans of the game should be familiar with this pose, although it may just be purely coincidental. But, these same fans should feel their spider senses tingling by looking at this statue, as the enormous price tag is sure to scare off the majority of potential buyers. The statue in all its glory will cost collectors $1,005-$1,055. This price has taken many by surprise, but for a collectible, as detailed as this statue, it is seemingly justifiable.
While the price tag will surely make many shudder in fear for their wallets, the statue justifies this enormous price tag with its impeccable detail. The statue displays Miles with his iconic homemade suit created to differentiate himself from Peter Parker's Spider-Man after he leaves the city in Miles' hands temporarily. Miles' left hand is also covered with electricity from his Venom Blast which, as fans of the character and the game knows, is one of Miles's unique powers that separates him from Peter Parker. Those who purchase the statue can also swap out the headpiece to display Miles with either his mask or with his mask off. The statue comes in at 29.5” tall and 12” wide, making it one of the larger gaming statues available for purchase.
The statue is available for purchase now. Although the price will make many fans of Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales pass on buying this collectible, the level of detail that has gone into it is certainly worthy of all its praise. A collectible such as this is a rarity and one that is targeted at a very specific group of collectors. While this price tag will surely scare away some, the opportunity to grab this exclusive statue will certainly attract the attention of fans of Spider-Man Miles Morales or even just fans of gaming in general. Here's hoping this statue's quality is an indicator of what's to come from Insomniac Games' next major release.
