Interesting review Gem I def will use this in my decision on which to buy. I had a chance to see SS PF with XM Venom it looked awesome for half the price so I'm leaning now to SS more.

I'm glad I could help. I think it's an unbiased opinion. There are many pieces XM does better...but I think SS has the better piece and price this time around.

Really cool looking piece. But, I can't help but be a bit disappointed with the base color. There looks to be nothing other than like one or two shades of gray.

I do really love the long curved blade arms. Those would be my choice if I owned the piece.

I dunno...I can understand feeling that the all-grey is boring, but it's kind of what I expect for a concrete/stone spire.

I think a stronger argument would be for something more to the base. E.g. moss, bird poop (haha), or maybe sculpturally - broken pieces falling/flying off, similar to Venom's clock's broken pieces.

That's a good point. In my video, I mention that it looks to be all one color...but then again, it's a building.

They could have added more details like you mentioned because it is pretty plain.

This is a great piece but I have to say what I don't like because it bugs me big time. Carnage has no neck. He seems odd in the look. I can't get over lumpy looking skin. He has much different texture more muscle fibre looking than orange peel texture. Please anyone don't be offended it's just something that has me coming back to really have good looks at this.

Can someone start posting pictures of him with their displays so I can see how piece interacts with other statues ( spidey, Venom , etc etc) that could be what I need.
