Can you help identify these statues ?

Bought these in a lot of statues and toys. I think it's strange to not have any stickers or markings for these 3 so I thought maybe someone would recognize them. YES they are

Spiderman just curious from what year or make maybe!!

 

 

About a foot tall.

 

About 8 inches tall

 

Crouching but the base is as large as the first statue

I think that might be Spiderman . Might need others to confirm...

Ha ha too funny

Red and blue suit?

 

Superman, definately Superman.

 

 

Ok really...

 

The first one was produced for tie in to the Spider-Man (Toby) movies (based on the costume design). Not sure which one. Factory X had the statue license for the first movie. Not sure if they held it for all three movies.

 

The second and third look like they were kits. Well painted, but kits maybe.

To my eye they look like import knock-off vinyl figures (judging from the paint jobs).

 

The second pose is this one: Ebay

Very possible I would think they would have markings otherwise although they are ceramic type material. Thanks for the input.

[miraclemet]

if they're ceramic they're definitely kits.

 

here's the horizon kit for the third one

They seem to be made of the same material as the superman statue but I just call it ceramic like. I believe they could be kits though. The rest of the figures were easy to figure out and for a hundred bucks I think I did alright.

Nice collection.

 

What I meat by 'import knock-offs' was going by some of the over-spray I noticed. Right or wrong I always think "Mexico" whenever I see it.

 

It's easy enough for street vendors to re-cast a statue or kit-figure as Chalkware-type figurines, with quickly airbrushed detail colors (resulting in over-spray).

 

Whatever yours are made of they certainly display well enough.

Ahh those Mexican knock offs!! Maybe we should put a wall up!!!

Actually there are some very expensive statues out of Brazil with the same style paint. It's just a technique I suppose.

 

Typically dry-brushing and dark washes are used to pull out detail. That technique uses Black to airbrush in shading. Quick hits in the right places.

 

Make sense? You can really see the technique in this figure. Collar bone, solar plexes, stomach muscles and where the foot touched the base.

I agree I thought they were too cool to pass on!! Besides the guy only wanted a hundred bucks for all and I thought it was a steal. The Superman Returns statue was nearly worth that alone.
