search youtube for a review on Queen's iron Spider-man bust. He said the packaging was very good as far as providing protection.
A big difference between the two WW here is that the Infinity represents her upper trunk fully, while the Queen is only concerned with the front of her upper trunk.
The Queen portrait profiles are excellent, but below the shoulders and arms, there is nothing to see in profile.
We haven't seen any profile views with the shield attached, but I can imagine it looking slightly awkward from that angle since there is no sculpted back.
With the Infinity bust, I feel like the asymmetrical composition gives it greater visual interest. Also, because she's fully represented front and back, there is a much wider range of display and viewing angles where this looks attractive and interesting.
The base on the Queen is much nicer, but it also harmonizes well in terms of both color and form, with the symmetrical pose above.
I don't find the rougher hewn base on the Infinity attractive in and of itself (unlike the Queen), but I feel like it also harmonizes well in terms of color choices and form with the particular sculpt above it.
In other words, despite liking the Queen base more, I don't think I would like it with the Infinity sculpt or vice versa.
I expect that anyone who goes with the Queen version will be enormously happy with it once it's in hand.
For the Infinity, I would like to see the hair color on the production pieces closer to black, and possibly see the hairline lowered (though I don't see it as a glaring issue here as some others do).
When Sideshow puts up the pre-orders for it closer to the end of the year, if the deposit required is still only 10% I will probably order it and then figure a way to finance the balance before it ships.
The big kink might be if we finally enter that long anticipated world wide recession.
