XM mob? The conversation is about comparing the three 1/4 Venom statues all released around the same time, P1 included. It's a conversation.

This was an easy decision once all factors were evaluated.

I'm really hoping the texture looks way better in hand. It's easily the best value out of them all for NA customers, if you could only choose 1. One of the things that made ordering the P1 easy was the long wait, I'll pay for it laaaaater lol.

SSC Venom pose won't please everyone
Prime1 is too busy
XM failed the white spider at the back (imho)

All 3 have nice sculpt.
Need to see in hand pictures for SSC and prime1 statues.
For me XM is disqualified du to the back spider, rather buy the bust

The symbols legs are wrong. Way too thin. Sure there are different variations in the comics but XM's looks really bad in my opinion. Worst version out of all statues and toys I've seen.





Compare to:

He looks like he is taking a dump . I can't help but picture crap flying out of his bottom. But I wouldn't pose him with that view.
And it's not worthy of a 360 display. IMO. But still a great piece. All the Venoms are cool. But the comiquette is my still favorite.

Compare to:

Yeah the symbol is probably the only knock on the statue. It's also not as clean as I feel it could be as well. These are very minor things and for me, it's not a big deal.

The SS venom is growing on me,

1) It's nice and compact, takes up less space horizontally
2) Don't like the heads and seams on the prime 1 one. Plus I reckon it's gonna be humongous.

Can anyone who has seen the SS in real life tell me what they think? Just honest thoughts.

Dont worry, pal. Forps is here. I can handle XM's wolf packs while i am playing ball with Michael Jordan and running versus Bolt. Piece of cake.

The above problems with the symbol on his back are the LEAST. The whole statue is a disaster. A mere 400doll statue is getting hyped and pushed all over youtube and facebook for it being a "grail", "a masterpiece", BETTER than the COMIQUETTE!

NO WAY. NO WAY. NO WAY.

His back is totally wrong, his legs are too thin, his colours are 100% toyish, there is no depth, the sculpt is 15 levels inferior than the Comiquette's. It is simple bigger than the Comi. But wait till the beast from Prime1's comes in our hands.

I can handle these wolf packs with so much ease. Go to XM THREADS, guys where you are mocking Sideshow or downgrading everything else except from your beloved comapny. It is my opinion, you know. I know what you are doing and i am not going to give food for you in order to ban me. I must protect new collectors from certain TACTICS being used (shady tactics from free stuff to FREE trips being given out). I am 100% objective towards all companies. I was the first that wrote Deathstoke PFF was a joke, Darkseid PFF was too small, Jatanna needs a 2nd head sculpt. I am one of the FEW guys having no financial interest in any company. I am 100% objective.

I like Sideshow's Venom and Prime1's better! ? As for one guy who said i cant afford a XM Venom, i am still laughing. Man have you even seen some pictures of my collection here before i deleted them? I have almost all LSBs ever produced by any company, all of Sideshow's statue grails, i had even bought 3 XM's but sold them the NEXT DAY. I hate the "toy vibe" they ooze. I hate it.

Go praise XM on your threads and bashing Sideshow there and leave us who love Sideshow's and Prime1's effort here. I have NEVER wrote to your XM threads. Never.

I love Sideshow, is there a problem with this or i should become a pusher of 1-2 other companies to calm you down? NO WAY. It is my opinion and the opinion of MANY collectors and nothing will change it. Not some guys here or some youtubers or other people BASHING Sideshow, night and day having an interest AGAINST Sideshow.

is art objective ?
