Re: Venom Comiquette - Link in 1st Post


Well, I'm basically neutral on the character. I don't really like him or really hate him. I thought maybe the statue would grow on me, but it's size and cost make it difficult for me to buy him ANY TIME, but now that SS moved up the release date, it's pretty unlikely I'll get it. Particularly because I have a LOT of stuff ordered for 1st quarter. Basically the most ever. Doc Holliday PF, Evil Queen PF, Duke, Mystique,just to name a few of them.
 
Re: Venom Comiquette - Link in 1st Post

this piece looks soooooo much better in person. pictures are not the same.
 
Re: Venom Comiquette - Link in 1st Post

I am gonna cancel the EX, the print is not impressive. Nor was I too high on the statue at SDCC. Venom with big hands long curly nails, wth...
 
Re: Venom Comiquette - Link in 1st Post

you guys cancelling are frickin' insane. This is probably the best SS piece put out in several years. That is if it looks like it did at SDCC. If you are thinking about cancelling or have already cancelled, you're not worthy of owning such an awesome piece.

:lecture :lecture :lecture :lecture

IF this goes I will not have nothing left on PO if I decided to cancel this and that's a long list of items.

This was by far the MUST of this year!
 
Re: Venom Comiquette - Link in 1st Post

The print sux.. But i bought a reg version. I saw this at comic con and it looks really good. I bought a spidey back in black just to display with this piece. The bases match up. I agree with you people that are cancelling... CRAZY!.. This is the best venom statue to date.

I own the bowen "bart sears" version couching. And the SS version makes it looks silly.

a little dramatic, but cancelling the exclusive does not mean I won't get the regular - I have to ask myself, is spending an extra 25% (yes things cost way more for those of us outside the US) for a print worth it?
 
Re: Venom Comiquette - Link in 1st Post

Exactly, it's basically a pizza

No, it is alot more than that once you include CA taxes, shipping, and the discount online retailers give. I have the EX on preorder from SDCC AND a Regular on preorder at Alteregocomics.com.

Sideshow Venom EX: just at $300 (goes up a bit at ship time)
Alterego Venom Reg: $241


That is roughly a $60 difference for a piece of crap print that NO one has liked and a lower ES. Normally, I would keep the EX just for the lower ES, but I can't justify it for this piece. I will use the extra $60 to go towards my Doom fund and get Alterego points to boot.


If anyone wants my Venom EX it's yours for cost + fees/shipping to you; remember, I live in CA for you gotta pay the sales tax.

Agree 100%, this thing is amazing and the detail on it is perfect.

No no no no no, LCS are out of the equation that is NOT "retail"

Alteregocomics is an ONLINE RETAILER; Sideshow is an ONLINE RETAILER/DISTRIBUTOR. ...so, you are saying you never compare items that are on sale? C'mon man, saying that you can only compare Sideshow's 'retail' price is a stupid arguement.

Yup stupid argument. But the "exclusive or fail" crowd will just find another excuse. I'd say "exclusive or fail" is true for a lot of items but definitely not for Venom. Enjoy your $60 savings!

We call me stupid, I'm comparing the price of what Sideshow is selling it for on their reg and Ex.

Alter Ego That is a dealer, c'mon man, LETS BRING IT SON!!!!!

:lecture :lecture :lecture, I still see it as comparing apples with oranges...

If you go off the original site it's secondary market.
