Premium Format New Sideshow Venom PF

Most likely will get spidey. Will wait till my venom points come in, then I'll have about sideshow bucks 120

Nice. Definitely an easy buy.

The Exclusive is nice, but not a must, FYI. Not sure which version you wanted, Symbiote vs. Classic.

Was going to go through sideshow and they have just the classic. Pretty sure.

Then I'd go with that, BUT you may be able to pick it up on eBay for cheaper, for what it's worth.

I'll look into it.

Man I’ve been wanting a nice Venom statue. XM is too pricey and P1 skips leg day. Might have to snag this before the movie comes out.

It's a really great piece! Venom is big to, like a baby in size.

I'm in the minority, but the tongue head is the ONLY one I display. I'm in love it, far more than the other two. I like the proportions on it. The 'warped' look makes him more sinister IMO.

Do you have pics of your XM Venom?

Got Venom Ex. today and set him up. Looks awesome.
What's every ones take so far on the hand and base fitment?
Mine fits good at the back of the hand, but by the fingers there is about 1/8 inch gap(maybe a bit less) from where it sits on top of the base.. Not too noticeable.
Are there some that are worse?

Mine is the same. I don't notice it anymore.

Mine is flush with the base. Love this statue! Got the ex

Can you send a photo of the tooth?

Bro we pay a lot of money and wait a long time for these. It's very easy for them to send you a replacement head. Don't settle for less

I've had my Venom for nearly a week now and I really like him. Venom and Carnage are probably my two favorite comics characters and what drew me to comics in the first place. The Venom comiquette was also what started my statue addiction.

The new Venom is the perfect depiction of early Mcfarlane Venom! People complaining about the gorilla like pose clearly don't know how he was first drawn. He is a lumbering beast with a smile on his face and this statue perfectly captures this.

 

[darren1228]

Also wanted to do a comparison to the comiquette. I was genuinely surprised to find that these two are not that far off in size. The comiquette is perhaps slightly smaller (not by much). So talks of the comiquette being too small and even 1/5 are unfounded. The new PF has enormous thighs and slightly bigger head but the hands, feet, width of shoulders, buttocks match up really closely.

Also amazed at just how detailed the comiquette is even though this was released 7-8 years ago. Martin Canale I salute you! You are a master. I much prefer how the symbiote is depicted on the comiquette as opposed to the "surface of the moon" texture of the new PF. The teeth and tongue are also much nicer on the comiquette.

In the end I'm happy to have both of these in my collection. 1 is the more recognized monster like Venom with tongue hanging out while the other is classic Mcfarlane Venom smiling and having fun while he toys with Spider-Man.

Great comparison. I have both, but I still have to open the new one.

 

[azurepred]

comparison really shows how much better the body sculpt on the original is. I love the Mcfarlane head on the new pf, and the pose is fine, but I'm still not sold on the body texture.

 

[Asdf]

Same here... I guess teh body texture is you must see it in person to see how you like it or not.

 

[FirstPick]

I love this statue. Almost two months since getting it, it still captures my attention.

Yep. Saw it in person at the LCS, pose looks great, McFarlane head on display looks great, absolutely hated the texture of it unfortunately, just can't pull the trigger on it.

Ultimately, I think it's the texture that will keep me away, but seriously, I can see myself getting it eventually. I'm really more and more impressed as time goes on.

I can post some pics tomorrow. I'm going to see if I can pose my 2099 piece next to it, but I'm skeptical I can do it in the cabinet where it's at.

Well got a reply back...
