Got mine today and he looks great. Might display him without the big tendril that wraps around. Not sure yet.

Ill display him the way he's supposed to be displayed. Gives him more bulk.

This piece was $859, literally in the hundreds for shipping, and STILL it went to waitlist?! Definitely a sleeper hit with the fan base. Nice job Prime 1 and congrats to those who picked this up!

It's nice but I don't like the character enough to pay that kind of dough.

I’m going to do a mini review my first ever only because I know there are people out there waiting for more pics and feedback with in hand opinions with this guy. It’s also my first Prime 1 purchase.
Price: three payments plus 100.00 Canadian to ship and another 157.00 in Canadian customs so he was little pricey between $1400-1500.00 Canadian all in ( make your own call )
Packaging : box was way too big in height which is why this got expensive. Didn’t see the point of that style box . Outer and inner boxes did their job as DHL managed to puncture my shipper so deep it went through inner as well but stopped at styrofoam inside the box. Everything stayed well protected . Plenty of foam corner support inside box and styrofoam “boards” to further cushion inner box. All the pieces were tissue wrapped with some having sponge protection and fit snug into their respective spots. Job well done!
Extras: Prime 1 included instruction page in colour for assembly which was quite helpful in finding all the parts and putting them back in correct spots. Only peeve I had were little rebar pieces fit into their circular holes but nothing was put on top of hole to plug them . When I opened the main foam containing statue they were all over the place. No weight on these little guys so they couldn’t damage anything but you could run risk of getting those little pieces broken. Take notes Prime 1 plug the holes with tissue.
I love that Prime 1 knows it’s market and how crazy we collectors can get handling our items so they included white micro fibre gloves to handle this beast. Very nice touch
Also threw in 2017 Prime 1 order catalogue. Another bonus.
Statue: It’s Amazing! A very large piece but in scale with my XM Symbiote the quality of this piece blew me away. Sculpt was so detailed and paint apps were flawless. I looked very carefully to try and find flaws and honestly couldn’t. What really impressed me were the fits. The statue went together in ten minutes and everything fit into its respective hole with no issues at all. This was complicated Symbiote wrap and it was done perfectly. The seam on head was well hidden considering he’s friggin white and it didn’t matter what angle I turned him he looked so good. The materials used are interesting you can tell there is soft composite in Symbiote extension and in long parts of fingers to help avoid breaks. I like that
The base was very well done and didn’t take away from Anti Venom. There were some seams in parts of the Symbiote “ horns” I don’t really know how they could have hidden those and honestly you don’t notice because the overwhelming detail in skin texture. I can’t believe someone sculpted this.
Love all the heads ( I got extra exclusive ) and gloss black paint on spider and face are perfect against matte white.
Folks I wouldn’t hesitate on this one it’s an absolute cracker of a statue. Popular character or not this will pair with XM Venom better than Spidey himself.
