In your opinion, do you think he looks better at a high angle (looking down) or low angle (displayed up high)?

 

[FirstPick]

Surprisingly, he looks great from a side angle.
As for top or bottom, I'd say you want to look up at him, but only slightly. So get him on a shelf just above eye height.

Maybe the teeth? I can't tell.

weird choice to have the smoke different colors between the symbiote and Venom. I was actually considering getting Venom to pair with that one, but unless I got the bases repainted, they don't look cohesive as they should.

Great photos, looks like it turned out really nice. I still like this one more-so than P1 or XM's.

Awesome pics guys. Im gonna say im really liking the original sculpt with the long tongue though. I think thats how id display it. I wish i had preordered this, but oh well, cant have everything.

What's your opinion of the skin texture on him in hand?

That seems to my dilemma... the symbiotes on the top of the P1 I'm not a fan of because they make displaying him difficult (add an extra 2-3 inches), and the texture around the neck looks weird since it doesn't match the rest of the skin. This one, love the pose, love the heads, love the size, only things I'm not a fan of is the skin texture (it is more uniform though) and the base. What was the helmeted Trojan statue supposed to represent again?

Trying to get as much info as I can before making a decision and placing an order, since I doubt the EX might be around by the time the P1 releases.

I myself prefer the standard head too, but if you've been following this thread at all, we're in the far minority. Most prefer the Exclusive.

The Ex head and style has never looked all that great to me personally other than for its nostalgia value.

But I do understand why many of the collectors prefer it, but then again I never really read those early issues of Venom.

Maybe that's why I prefer the Prime 1 version, as I also don't like the skin texture on the Sideshow piece, but those who are getting him in hand are liking it which is great.

Both the heads on mine had problems. Chipped tooth on the ex and they painted the end of the tongue black on the reg. Plus my base arrived broken too. Such a shame, hopefully I can get all new parts.

Skin -- Better than expected with more detail than I originally saw. There's pockets and crevices more than there's bumps. These pockets seems to be dusty inside and the higher parts have the smoothness you're used to from Venom. It's more like an Orange skin than anything else, but the colors and textures are very well done in-person. It's hard to explain.

As for the Spartan, that part doesn't make much sense, but the Roman numerals represent the year Venom first appears in comics. So I guess the Roman numerals is what spawned the Spartan head as if it was part of the building in NY. The smoke could be better colored. It needs some black wash.

Would like to see it next to the XM Venom

Later with P1 as well. Three of them together

Damn, I don't know how far back it is but I asked if someone could photoshop the 3 together to scale and someone nicely complied

I would be hoping this EX would still be around when P1 released theirs so I could compare the final production pieces before deciding but their long delay makes it unlikely
