Cancelled my First Marvel Piece

[customizerwannabe]

Venom mini bust is gone. Spidey is going to be sold too.

First, I can't get over the "spiderman 3" logo. Makes me feel like they're getting free advertisement out of me. Secondly, every time I look at Spidey he looks like he should be next to 2 dozen more of the same thing on a display shelf in an airport souvenir shop.

He cheapens the look of my other statues, and that can't happen. For those that like him, God bless you and don't let my opinion turn you off to it.

i totally agree with you. the logo adds a total cheapening effect, and the bust itself does look like it belongs in a souvenir shop. case in point, i never ordered! good choice!

never ordered any of the mini busts myself but I did order the Venom statue when it was briefly previewed back in Feb. Truth be told I am having second thoughts about it now due to the finish on it......not sure if I'll cancel it or not......

This has nothing to do with a certain "hunk of junk" you recently purchased, does it?

I too keep going back and forth about whether or not to keep my preorder of the Venom statue.....I guess I still have a little time to figure it all out....but I have a feeling the Green Goblin may be the only Spiderman character that I will have in my Marvel collection.

No! The MR MF has nothing to do with it. 50.00 ain't gonna make or break me. Just think it looks cheesy. Doubt I'm going to pick up an of the movie pieces. Possibly the Vs. dio, but it better be good.

The only thing thats tempting me to cancel that order (venom) is that i think i can get him cheaper some were else!

Good for you.. My motto is quality over quantity... The nice items get lost when they are displayed and surrounded by lower quality items..

In a couple of weeks you'll change your mind and want to buy them all back.

This thread is very refreshing considering the ridiculous hauls some folks here have been getting. Streamlining your collection? what a concept!

Both Spidey movie statues would need to blow me away. I passed on the Venom. The SDCC Spidey bust is a "may be". The diorama is almost a guaranteed purchase since I am a diorama collector and it would take care of my Spidey 3 movie fix in one item.

 

[customizerwannabe]

Nope. Not this. Gotta dump Spidey now.

Then how's about you dump your Spidey 1:1 bust into my hands?

 

[customizerwannabe]

Sorry. I'll be keeping quality pieces.

 

[gbeef]

Too bad the Playsation 3 inst cheap... hahahaha it looks the same as spidey!

 

[customizerwannabe]

Whaaaaaaat??

 

[SolidLiquidFox]

I think he meants the letter font on the "Playstation 3" console.

To each their own, I guess. I like it. I think the quality is quite good, and I don't get an "airport souvenir" vibe from it at all. Is it a souvenir of sorts? Sure. Is it anywhere near as cheaply designed or manufactured as an airport souvenir? No way.

I also don't get the hate for the logo. It is a movie tie-in piece, after all. If the bust were being sold as an exclusive item at the premier of the movie, it would be highly sought-after. For me, it is going to be a great memento of what looks to be a great movie experience.

I can tell that without being told that when looking at it. Sorry, it cheapens the appearance imo. I also don't care for the metallic silver webbing. I'm pretty sure the suit won't be silver in the movie. Lastly, I go to higher end airport souvenir shops.
