Looks great imo, i really like the base on it, i know it's a Spidey piece so it has the smoke but it didn't need it at all and Carnage has none on his base...
I also like these more vertical poses/pieces, i know it's stupid but i do like statues i can display in half a detolf and this looks like a candidate
No interest in the classic head, imo it just doesn't work on these huge bulky sculpts of Venom, i'd say the same for the XM one too.
Gonna be so many comparisons to the XM one but i just see it as more choice, especially if Prime 1 throw theirs into the mix as well....although i suspect that's going to be way after the SS one.
