i went from leicester about 150 miles to west marlin or somethingorother today ,,kent,,,,, ,,,,,,, to buy a spiderman figure ,,,,, ,,,,,, had steak in a fayre n square called the old rectory ,,,,,,(spank the wank banker and some other shite dond that was switched off ,,,, for those interested ) then made the long traffic laden journey home ,,,,, with 5 mile an hour traffic nr the dartford tunnel etc .
but im gutted ,,,,,,,,, the figure isn't lifesize ,,,,,,,,, its 1 and 1/2 times lifesize ,,,,,,,,,, spidey is in an iconic crouching pose ,,(with bolts at his hands and feet , so you can bolt him to your roof if you owned a comic shop etc),,,,, and thus the whole thing is about 4ft by 5ft ,,,,,,, and no matter what angle you turn it ,,,,,,, the fucking thing wont go through a standard doorway into the flat ,,,,,,, the only way round it as i see it would be to hire someone to take out an upstairs window and hoist it up etc and replace the window etc ,,,,,,,,, but i dont own the flat ,,,,,,,, unlike my superman and batman figures ,,,,,, spidey is in one piece resin/fibreglass ,,,,,,,,,,,,, so basically im screwed .
so ive had no choice but to take it to my dads and put it in his conservatory for now ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
so a 300 mile awful round trip ,,,,,,, plus a huge dent in the wallet ,,,,,,, and im not gonna see the benefit .
grrrrr ,,,,,,, ,,,,,, why the fuck didn't i ask for measurements etc first ,,,,,,,,,,, what a tit.
when i can get round to it ,,,,,,, photos to follow
