Some collectors keep those blinders on forever and that's really unfortunate. Good to see you diversifying your stuff, GT.

-ES is posted and it's relatively low. People proclaim the end of Sideshow.

-Donald Trump becomes president and my house quadruples in value when 1000 expat Americans move into my neighborhood.

-Thread disappears for a year

-People get it in-hand, praise it to high heaven, EX sells out, people cry

Don't even joke about Trump, COI!

If he wins, I'm not only going to move into your neighborhood, but I'm going to move into your house!

Let's not turn this into a political conversation. That never ends well.

After the news today it's looking bad for Trump

You guys know we were being facetious, right?

I really didn't want the subject to switch to Trump.

I kind of want to see trump win only because I want to see a celebrity be president. Would be so cool to have a popular star be president. I've never been into politics at all. Not my thing working in Washington DC.
As for venom I want to see this in person. SS spidey I was not a big fan of until I saw it in person. The pose does hide a lot of his body though.

No really? Not hoping for a Trump premium format then I guess.

Actually if trump wins it would be cool to have a trump switch out head on a SS statue since thier portraits are so good overall. Not a trump statue. But for example a unmasked batman with a trump head as Bruce Wayne or Clark Kent. Would be a fun thing to have saying if he wins president.

good luck getting that skin tone right

Well here's my personal take on this piece...This piece looks really good in person. I already own the first Venom from Sideshow so I will be passing on this for that reason only....the texture looks fine and imo does not take away from this piece. It has nice dynamic pose which I feel looks much better than the first venom. If you don't have a 1/4 scale venom and you don't want to go through the XM hoops then this is the one to go for....
