My "Cheese" face for pictures also look like I have stuck poop. Maybe that was the art direction for the head shots to sculpt.

Haven't seen any pictures of this guy so here we go. My second life size bust (Queen Studios Venom was the first). Here are my thoughts:
1. Bust comes in two boxes (both of them are plain cardboard boxes).
2. Bust comes in one piece
3. Bust is simple and paint is clean (I don't mind at all as this is how Spidey should be).
4. Nice details showing his nose, ears, clavicle, and muscle groups. The folds and creases in his costume is nice. No overly exaggerated tendons and veins and I like that.
5. Bust is light so be careful if you live in an earthquake zone as he might tip quite easily.
Overall I really like Spidey and pairs great with Venom. I wasn't as wowed with Spidey as Venom but I never expected to be. Spider-Man should not be as textured and as sophisticated a sculpt as Venom. For the price (also knocked off a couple hundred with reward points) I have no regrets. These two will be the centerpiece of my collection and will be an eye catcher for sure.
excuse the photos that look really similar...I really didn't have time to look them over and edit them.

Thanks for the pics. I was looking to get this an maybe move on my OG sideshow spidey bust - but this looks quite small here and I'm thinking I'll keep the OG and pass on this.

P.S. And kudos for having the balls, (& sense), to ignore any BS regarding tendrils or name plaques, and buying this mind numbingly brilliant Venom. The great far exceeds the hate. Well done.

thanks Divo!

Really is a great pairing! And they'll look great in anyone's collection.

Another two points I forgot to mention:
1. I love that they gave him a crouching pose. Really unique for busts. Reminds me of his pose for the Capcom games.



2. I love that they were able to include a blue portion of his costume. Spider-Man is Red + Blue but the majority of busts only show him red. So good job Sideshow! And the idiot that I am didn't even share a pic of his back..doh.
