So I thought this venom was plenty, now I see the concept on the left. Can I get one of those too?

I'm not going to lie. I ordered this but like the concept on the left more.

Hi 1300€ is a good price for venom here in Europe or better buy it directly from sideshow?

For me the concept on the left (pose, crazy feel to it - obviously not physique though) is more Carnage, not Venom.

I prefer B, because you can see the whole body instead of the face and the back.

A conclusion is simply the place where you got tired of thinking.

I prefer B. I would say pose A if it was Carnage. Pose A also says to me he's taking a massive dump and is trying to squeeze one out.

If it cost more, buy less and budget. Don't let sticker shock psyche you out. People spend way more on nonsense because it's in smaller increments and is more palatable that way. Sometimes going for more expensive is actually more prudent in the long run, because you adopt a quality over quantity mentality and end up spending less.

As always wise words. I guess that's how I decided on a couple of my bigger pieces I own. And it's true, deciding to get maybe just 1 statue a year now really makes it count.
As for facebook - the statue collectors page is turning into a cesspool. Just a bunch of elitists snubbing everything they can't get. I've also noticed the same few people commission a piece, they all get one, hype it as the greatest grail ever, then all of them are selling within a couple weeks for like $2500 US. If it wasn't for the sneak peek pics On long be off of that page. Think I might even leave it anyways. For people who collect statues they sure have a lot of negative things to say about them.
And the seam... well I don't know about you guys, but I don't display ANY OF MY STATUES BACKWARDS.

The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket.

For me the B concept is better because I always wanted to have a Venom towering over spiderman and this is the pose that delivers that.

Now all I see is Venom screaming, "I should have eaten more fiber!"
