Just when you thought there couldn’t possibly be any more Marvel SDCC 2013 Exclusives yet to be unveiled, an unexpected (and I do mean unexpected) straggler has swung into the fray! Coming to San Diego Comic Con 2013 this week as a surprise last-minute Marvel Exclusive, it’s the high-end Gentle Giant Ltd. Peter Porker, the Spectacular Spider-Ham Mini Bust!

Let’s get this out of way before I go on: I tend to like things that other people think are stupid and utterly hate. From kid Anakin Skywalker to Orko to Wesley Crusher to Wheelie to Jar Jar Binks, I have a real weakness for things that normal people think are, well… bad. So I don’t think that anyone is going to be flabbergasted that I also love the pig Spider-Man, Spider-Ham. Yes, as a kid, I actually owned and loved a pile of comics featuring Peter Porker, the Spectacular Spider-Ham. And yes, I liked him more than the actual human Spider-Man. Bring the torches and pitchforks on, if you will. Even with a life-long love of Spider-Ham, however, I never in my wildest dreams thought we would ever–ever–get a high-end Peter Porker Spider-Ham bust. But thanks to the Gentle Giant Ltd., that’s exactly what’s coming our way in just one more day when San Diego Comic Con 2013 begins!

There’s really no accurate way to estimate how well this Gentle Giant Spectacular Spider-Ham mini bust is going to sell, as there’s not exactly a lot of Spider-Ham merchandise out there to use as a gauge. In my opinion, there are probably less than 500 people out there who are big enough fans of Spider-Ham to want to own a high-end bust of Peter Porker, so I feel like an edition size of 500 Spider-Ham mini busts ought to be plenty. That said, some sellers are already listing the Spider-Ham bust for $100+ on ebay, so who knows where the secondary market value of this bust will land?

The 2013 SDCC Exclusive Gentle Giant Amazing Spider-Ham bust will be available this week exclusively at the Gentle Giant booth at San Diego Comic Con, with a retail price of $45. I’m a Spider-Ham fanboy, so I’ll be sure to pick up this Peter Porker mini bust and review it in the near future.
