Re: Venom Comiquette - Link in 1st Post

Here's something I worked up really quick in Photoshop to show the difference of a background. I wouldn't worry... by the time the print comes out, i'm sure it will look great.

Re: Venom Comiquette - Link in 1st Post

I think they know the displeasure with the art. But If you're gonna buy the comiquette, buy it for the comiquette. Personally, I don't think it's the best Venom sculpt out there, but it's still worth the pick-up.
 
Re: Venom Comiquette - Link in 1st Post

To be honest, I'm not TOTALLY TOTALLY enthused about the pose.... Of course I like it and think it's pretty sweet. But I just woulda liked to see a different pose.

Personally, I would've like to see Venom in a pose where he's leaping off a building towards you.....Maybe like on this Marvel Masterpieces card?

Re: Venom Comiquette - Link in 1st Post

does anyone know if sideshow allows transferring rewards points from order to another?

i used my points for the exclusive but with that sorry print, i'd rather cancel the exclusive and get the regular for much cheaper price.

I apologize if you've already got an answer, but points can't be transferred from one order to another. Additionally, if you cancel an order you use points on to pre-order, you LOSE those points.
 
Re: Venom Comiquette - Link in 1st Post

Booo :mad: Well at least I can save some cash.

I rushed home to Priority Pre-Order the Exclusive Venom Comquette. The print you are showing for the Exclusive is very disappointing! The background with the red doesn’t fit, and Venom himself just does not look finished. I was hoping to see art of Venom with a fully-detailed background, not this. And I’m sorry to say just does not do the sculpt justice. So please go back to the drawing board, so to speak!

The artwork that you’ve seen for the Venom Comiquette is in fact the final design, although we’re sorry to hear your reaction! We will share your feedback with our teams.

It should be noted that the print work we include with the sculpture is, in some cases, the design representation that we took our sculpture inspiration from. It isn’t and isn’t always going to be a spot-on, exact copy of where our final creative exploration ended, and we don’t feel that it needs to be. The print was Ariel Olivetti’s original piece of art, which we were very fond of, and it inspired the Gore Group and us while creating the final piece. While there are dissimilarities in the forms of Venom, this represents the interesting evolution many items we do take over their lifespan. We felt the print was a fantastic graphic statement and not every piece needed to be seen on the ‘Marvel city skyline.’ In essence, this is what a great deal of conceptual art looks like. It’s character focused. In the end, we felt it would be a nice change to present the conceptual art as it first appeared so that the purity of the source material was represented and the fans could see the full evolution of the project.

I am kind of thinking of dropping the exclusive now and just getting the regular.

yup, me too. Thats whack, for such a awesome sculpt, and such a ^^^^ty EX. The worst print by far :monkey4 Not worth the extra $25, but I just bought a Venom litho for that amount :)
 
Re: Venom Comiquette - Link in 1st Post

The Spider-Man 3 Venom statue is the best one out, too bad it's based on a crappy movie.
 
Re: Venom Comiquette - Link in 1st Post

Just preordered the regular from Alterego. An ES of 350 and a crap print isn't worth an extra $50; ESPECIALLY now that I know that we have alot of statues coming of characters I really want. Although, I am not cancelling my EX just yet incase something changes or if someone else likes the print.

The statue is amazing. :D
 
Re: Venom Comiquette - Link in 1st Post

yep, i guess the only reason to order the ex now is for the lower ES. since i can never see myself displaying that print or using it for anything other than starting a fire with.:banghead
 
Re: Venom Comiquette - Link in 1st Post

still going with ex...:rock
 
Re: Venom Comiquette - Link in 1st Post

still goin with my Ex, I can buy an extra pizza with the money I saved to get reg...
 
Re: Venom Comiquette - Link in 1st Post

You can duplicate the EX with a good printer.....just sayin'!:huh
