Life Size Spider-Man Statue: I Am Iron Spider-Man

Do you know what your foyer has been missing? A superhero to greet you after a long day’s work. And what better superhero for the job than your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man? Thankfully, Queen Studios has you covered with this full-scale Spider-Man in Iron Spider suit statue. Just don’t go using him as a coat rack!

Constructed out of polystone, the full-scale Spidey is a limited edition of 299 and measures 192 cm (~6’4″) tall, including the lighted base. The statue is entirely hand-painted in metallic blue and red with gold trim, with internally lit accents in Spider-Man’s eyes, palms, and armor. However, he does not come with the Iron Spider suit’s mechanical legs though, so you’ll have to build and add those yourself. I’d suggest using cardboard and coat hangers.

Unfortunately, for anyone interested in a full-scale Spider-Man but doesn’t have Tony Stark kind of money, the statue costs $7,060. That’s a little bit out of my life-size superhero statue budget right now. Honestly, based on the overdraft fee I just got a text alert about, I can’t even afford one of those cardboard cutouts they have on display at the movie theater. What do you say – want to help me pull the old ‘tall man in a trench coat’ trick to go see Spider-Man: No Way Home?

LEGO built this 1:1 scale model of the X-Wing fighter from 5,335,200 bricks. It’s as big as the real thing, and can hold Rebel pilots – even Porkins. This X-Wing reproduces the official $60 LEGO 9493 X-Wing Fighter.

That one is a mere 560-pieces and a few inches long. Yawn. This one has over five million pieces and it’s 11-feet-tall, 43-feet-long, with a 44-foot wingspan and weighs nearly 46,000 pounds. Just like the real X-Wing. Oh, and it took over 17,000 person-hours to build it.

LEGO created it to help celebrate the launch of a three-part LEGO Star Wars animated series, called The Yoda Chronicles, set to premiere on the Cartoon Network this May 29th.

The engines even light up and produce a roar. Best of all you can see it for yourself if you are in Times Square, where it is currently on display for the next couple of days before it heads out to LEGOLAND California.
