We got our first official look at the Amazing Spider-Man statue kicking off the Kotobukiya Spider-Man ARTFX+ Series of statues yesterday, but at the time Koto hadn’t revealed the full lineup. Luckily, we’re not going to have to speculate any more: the full lineup including Spider-Man 2099, Spider-Gwen, Venom, Miles Morales Spider-Man, Carnage and more has now been revealed!
Like the Marvel NOW X-Men Series before it, this Spider-Man set will consist of seven totally different statues (and likely a couple of as-yet unrevealed paint variants for exclusives).
The seven characters included in this Spider-Man ARTFX+ Series are as follows:
- Amazing Spider-Man
- Venom
- Carnage
- Spider-Man 2099
- Miles Morales Spider-Man
- Agent Venom
- Spider-Gwen
We know that Spidey himself is kicking off the line and will be released in November 2016, but we’ve no idea yet what order the remaining characters will be released in.
That said, Koto typically likes to release a female second in these Marvel ARTFX+ lines and save the most popular character for last, so my pure speculation is that the Kotobukiya Spider-Gwen will be released second and the classic Venom seventh. We’ll see how close my prediction ends up coming to reality!
Meanwhile, Carnage is the first-ever pure villain Kotobukiya will be releasing as a Marvel ARTFX+ statue. This is a bit of a switch, as it feels sort of bizarre to have Carnage hanging out peacefully in a lineup with Miles Morales, Spider-Man 2099 and Venom. Hopefully Carnage will ultimately be the first of many villains in this 1:10 scale, however, and he’ll be able to hang out with a group of baddies soon enough!
While I suspect Miles would have gotten a statue long ago if Bowen Designs were still in the game, Koto is the manufacturer actually giving him his inaugural statue. Miles’ pose looks like it will mirror Peter Parker’s, making the two excellent bookends for the series.
On the Agent Venom front–yep, both the Flash Thompson Agent Venom and the classic Eddie Brock Venom both appear in this lineup, even though the two characters can never coexist at the same time since they’re both the same symbiote. Weird, right…?
Spider-Gwen is in a crouching pose that seems pretty similar to the poses Peter Parker and Miles Morales are in, but that’s fine–we’ve seen plenty of Spider-Gwen statues already this year, and this is the only one (other than the Gentle Giant Spider-Gwen Animated statue) to be in this sort of crouched position.
What do you think of this lineup, Marvel collectors? Do you agree with the character selections that Koto made for this series, or do you think there were other characters who deserved to make it onto the ARTFX+ Spider-Man figure roster?

Ugh….
I want them, but no, I don’t have space and I can’t afford em.
My 6″ scale collections are already ridiculously hard to keep a handle on….
I feel you, friend. I want them all…
Seems incomplete without the Kaine and Ben Scarlet Spiders.
Anya Corazon, Jessica Drew, Julia Carpenter, Anti-Venom, Iron Spider, Mayday, Superior Spider-Man would all be good too.
Definately gonna pick up, spidey, venom and agent venom.
that is mac gargan venom
How can you tell?
The eyes and the spider arms go over his shoulders, instead of around his pecs and under his arms, flash agent venom has turned into that but the eyes don’t look like that.
The logo and more evil eyes.
I really wish Jessica Drew was included in this line
Jessica in her new suit would have been the only one I’d have looked sideways at. It’s a shame there was no Jean or Kitty in the X-Line.
What??!! No Ben Reilly?? This saddens me more than the excitement I first had
The Ben Reilly costume could probably be repainted as an exclusive easily enough. They’d just need to add the web shooters.
