Arachnid Hero by PCB
Well, what can i say that hasn't already been said. This figure has been pretty much, unanimously voted the best of 2014 and you'll hear no arguments from me. I'd go as far as to say it's the best of both the official and custom releases (no small feat considering the awesome year we had).
The moment Adam mentioned that he had a Spidey fig on the way i knew we'd have something special on our hands but he's totally surpassed my expectations with a simply beautiful minifigure. Based on his appearance in The Amazing Spider-Man 2 and taking inspiration from the 2013 SDCC fig, Arachnid Hero has a stunning design, a level of detail that you'd expect from digital printing and beautiful, vibrant colours. The printing is absolutely top notch and i love the fact that instead of just going for a perfect recreation of the SDCC fig, Adam has made the design completely his own and it puts the SDCC version to shame. When put together, they compliment each other really well but the PCB version really does go the extra mile.
For me, what truly makes PCB's figs stand out (apart from the brilliant designs and vibrant colours) is the extra little details and the shading that not only give the figures character, but make you feel like they've jumped straight out of a comic book page.
Hats off to you Adam, you should be beside yourself with pride on this one :).
As always, there are more pics in my stream and i'll be posting pics of Arachnid Hero alongside the SDCC , M4U and Christo versions of the Amazing Spider-Man soon :).
