I think your "guess" is bang-on, & logically makes perfect sense, as the arms position is extreme (but wickedly cool!). I did expect Venom"s head to be "fused" minimizing those seams, leaving the tongue as a separate/removable piece.
Not the ideal, but after mucho reflection & vid inspection, I can't see or imagine these petty seams breaking this Venom dream,.........as a whole.
I presently happily live with the following;
- Sh!tty eyes on Thanos on Throne.
- Fused thighs & a short/fat board for Surfer
- "Wrong" suit for Astonishing Wolverine.
- Too loud tubes, making Freeze look like a cheap boob.
- Less than stellar teeth on Sabrtooth.
- Lack of paint/detail on Punisher's arms.
- Imaginary OCD "leans"
- & now outrageous/conspiracy "seams"????!!!!!!!
I can go on, and on, but you get the picture? All our collected sculpts have something that's "OFF", but yet we go on,..........every time.
As some of the sculpts mentioned above, which I dig, I feel this Venom's "good" far outweighs, and crushes any "bad" aspects regarding this sculpt. And when seen side by side with other statues, (including a 1/3 Predator!), he not only holds his own, but dominates & demands our attention.
Darren, I feel this is the "new/old" Sabretooth scenario playing out all over again, where the initial reaction to Sabes was grave, & now, it's wow! I'd advise to take another look, which can't hurt.
