XM Studios new Venom: Arise

[darren1228]

First thoughts:

1. One of the two boxes are an absolute pain to move around. Super heavy + takes up a lot of space.
2. Venom's body was a ----- to get onto the base...had myself a workout.
3. Venom is massive (I'd say 1/3 scale for normal sized characters)! He will definitely stand out in your collection!! You'll need lots and lots of space to display him but he is an attention grabber.
4. All three portraits are awesome! My favorite is the one with the green saliva but the other two are great as well. Def gonna be switching them out from time to time.
5. I don't care for the mini Venoms. I left them in the box and will never use them. Wish they just did away with them and fit everything in one box and saved us money.
6. They did not give us plug-in parts if you don't want to use the mini symbiotes. It isn't a big problem from the front but there are a lot of gapping holes in the back. Very disappointing as I thought they were advertised from the start. Won't be hard to get a little creative to cover the holes up but wish they had just left out the mini Venoms and given us a complete base.

He looks so much better without all those mini Venoms all over the place. For the money, it's disappointing they didn't provide plugs to plug all the holes. Are the holes only in the back? Or, are there some in front as well?

There are two in the front. Yup quite disappointing for the price.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure people even asked and they were told yes. But, then why does it not surprise me from XM.

And still a definitive 1/4 Venom remains elusive.
