Thanks Bryan, you guys again showing you're true class acts.

So yea, Venom is massive!!! Holy crap, I'm not entirely sure the space I have reserved for him will fit.

I wholeheartedly respect your opinion but with so many other awesome Venoms on the market, why does THIS one takes the cake for you? I'm genuinely curious.

Thanks for stressing that Grumpy. But it's like most people here have blinders on when it comes to the few of us XM fans that often defend (unnecessarily at times since the product speaks for itself) XM. So they automatically think we have nothing negative to say or critique when it comes to XM and that couldn't be further from the truth.

I speak my mind on XM products just like I speak my mind on Prime 1 products, or SS or PCS products. IN fact, I criticize or critique XM products more than any other company because I like their products and AD the most and want them to be successful and continue to strive for bigger and better things.

But I dare anyone to challenge that I have not lambasted XM for certain things...hmm hmm...Elektra being one. Venom McFarlane jaw being another (although admittedly I was first thrown off thinking it could be just a 1 up situation). Knowing how huge a fan of Transformers I am, I have almost had arguments with XM about Optimus Prime's abdomen area or the size of Starscream's wings, etc. The color of Witchblade's armor...list goes on.

For the better part of several months I have been working on refraining from making comments or getting involved in silly banter. Anyone who knows me from my numerous posts in the past knows I would have laid into Forps in the SS thread a thousand times over with his asinine comments. But I refrained...not worth it any more. No need getting my ire all worked up because others spit faulty or idiotic information about anything. And no matter what I say...people are going to believe what they want to believe...I can't do anything about it.

Quite simply because it looks the best. It looks most like the style if Venom I prefer. Again, it comes down to simple aesthetics.

Cool man. I'm really happy to be getting this myself. Not sure if it's going to be my favorite yet but it definitely looks like a heavy contender! I have their 1/4 Bust and the Comiquette so the decision will be tough. It's funny - theres so many awesome aspects from each statue that if put together in the right order, I feel the ultimate Venom statue would be made. Love the pose and switch out's on XM's. Love the TEETH on the bust (they're nice and sharp, not rounded off) and the base on the comiquette is my favorite. Love that Daily Bugle reference. Anyway - keep the pics coming peeps!

Only in a perfect world does everyone take responsibility for their mistakes and only in an even moreeee perfect world do people take steps to correct them. I'm just saying - don't expect everyone to do that. Not XM, not anyone - because the minute you take that for granted and they DON'T or CAN'T, your gonna get upset. Thats all man. Kudos to XM for being classy tho, I respect that. It's nice to see a company that listens. BTW - I'm not coming at you sideways either Shizzle. I've just been fairly quiet on the forums lately, sitting back and seeing what everyone has to say. I'm just lettin loose
Just to clear the air...XM has stated as much that if there is an ISSUE ON THEIR PART...they will fix it and the money will not come out of the collector's pocket to do so. Bryan said as much on this very forum numerous times.

The Venom McFarlane head is such an example. Black Widow leaning was an example. Ant-Man head was an example.

Thats funny because shorudan JUST posted that piece above about not guranteeing the correction of all mistakes. And ALL I am saying is that while they have been great in doing it SO FAR, do not take it for granted. Because when the time comes that they don't or CAN'T (and it will) - You guys will be dissapointed and upset. *Just clearing the air*
