Even with that issue, I absolutely love this piece! It is a beast. I am going to display him without the spawn behind his head. That piece took away from the portrait.

I always hear people say that about Ikea instructions, but is it really that bad? (I’ve also seen that a lot in TV shows to show that a particular sex couldn’t do it on their own, which is of course ridiculous). Like many here I’ve put together plenty and I’ve never had an issue with the instructions themselves.

I wished they would have maybe color coded them to make putting it together a bit faster, but really just a nitpick on my part. No breakage, no paint chipping. The plastic webs even went in perfect. One tendril by his left hand doesn’t key into the pipe like it’s supposed to, but I couldn’t be more satisfied. Love this piece.

Did you try heating up the problem piece like it says may be required in the instructions?

All I'll say is that in my opinion, Ikea instructions/furniture are about as easy as it gets.

Just checking with you guys, so did I just hear that it is also alright to heat up pieces of the webbing?

I ask because the large piece of webbing that goes on the largest pipe, like barely fits, and it feels like it's going to break if it force the piece in.

I heated it, but use low heat as the heat itself caused it to curl up a little. Ironically, this was the shape it needed to be, but I cant guarantee it would work like that every time.

Well it is right there printed in black and white on the Venom instructions page. But unfortunately it’s not the first time they included such text.

People across the two forums and the Facebook groups have successfully used the method to get pieces to key in correctly.

This turned out amazing. Only the McFarlane head just doesn’t look like it fits in with the rest of the statue, but it is still well done. I cancelled mine after all the delays. I used the money on other things so I’m kinda 50/50 on regretting or not.

Killer piece, congrats guys.

I'm on the fence with this one, really need a Prime 1 Spider-Man to go with it. Lame licensing restrictions.
