P.S
The koto 1/6 venom is looking great but they could have done better on the portrait.

I think there are multiple 1/6 Koto, so to be clear, I'm talking about this one:

Same here, I wasn?t a scale snob at first but I sold most of it once 1/4 started dominating my collection and I decided I want everything to match in size for consistency in grouping characters together. I have a few Bowens left: Museum Spidey, Extremis IM and a few mini busts, and that?s it for smaller scales.

I have PCS 1/3 Spidey and will be getting Miles but I don?t think I?m considering any other 1/3 aside from Black Panther, Storm (apparently PCS is making them) and Gambit if anybody wants to make him. 1/3 statues look great?all of XM?s 1/3 Marvel statues are tempting?but i don?t want to give up that much space to regularly buying them.

This one is excellent. I?d buy something similar to that in 1:4

This Dynamic Forces Statue is one of my favorite versions of Venom..it goes back a long time ago but it was made after the Todd Mcfarlane famous cover. Lucky I still have this in my collection. Always wanted another Mcfarlane or Bagley Venom made to look like what we grew up on.

Nice throwback...I'll add the Marvel Select Zombie statue from back in the day since we're on the topic. The GG bust might just be the best ever, though.

Yeah that GG Venom bust is hard to beat. Can’t hardly find that thing either.

Yeah, I think we've got a pretty comparable collecting philosophy. 1/4 is just a perfect size. I'd love to have all my statues that size, but I've got a handful of Bowens and Kotos that are just too good to get rid of, and my first statue - from 1999, an Attakus Spider-man on gargoyle (black variant), is like 1:8 scale. And I can't get rid of that.

I know those are your favorites, and I agree - I'll consider 1/3, but only for my absolute favorites. No way I'm collecting anything close to a 'line' of them. True centerpieces.

Yeah, you're talking about the more recent ArtFX line.

The Venom I posted, and these two:



were from the Fine Art line from 7-8 years ago.
