The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket.

Nice! Did it include the "plugs" for the tendrils?

This piece looks soo sick. Despite some negative feedback. I think this piece is an absolute stunner. Can’t wait for mine.

I plan to display beside my Iron Studios Spidey

What are your thoughts AquaLung?

No, and I haven't heard a word if XM will really be shipping out the missing plugs that we were promised. I would take them but I have no plans to display this piece without all the tendrils attached, so it doesn't matter to me if XM sends them in the end.

Aqua? LOL, okay.

If I like a piece for my collection it really doesn't matter to me the negative feedback the hobby may or may not be handing out. The one good thing about this statue is although it's big. It's not as heavy as you would think, but it isn't lite either. I didn't have the same issue that Art Statue Collector had when installing the peg foot ( you still have to be patient when installing) and the other foot being close to the stone and scratching it all up. All lined up perfectly for me. I will post a pic a little later of what I'm talking about and then if you'd like to go back and look at the placement of the foot from Art's video review. I did have a problem with the 2nd largest tendril not sitting flush once I installed, but it was close enough and being located in the back it's really not that big of a deal.

For me there is no regrets about adding this piece to my collection. I wish XM would have made the saliva translucent green or just translucent, but that's my only nit pick of the piece if you're asking me.

So I finally received my piece. Nice to see everyone enjoying their purchases. I did not receive the additional plugs, but have been told I should be receiving them late this summer. I must say that this being my first XM piece I am still on the fence as to whether I would purchase another. As with others, Venoms left foot is extremely tight and the body does not line up (left hand with nail indentations, and right foot and left knee). I also have the large tendril in the rear not fitting in the slot completely.

The piece itself is immense. I had a pedestal ready for it, but since the plugs did not come with the statue the space will not hold it currently. I am extremely pleased with the portraits, although the transition portrait has the same white line on the lip that a few others have.

This seems to be a little backwards. Venom is now in QC but they are already shipping to collectors. Maybe we'll start getting the plugs that are being shown in these new pics.

Must be the last batches, because they mentioned it in the news.

Pictures from the XM Studios Venom (Arise) 1/4 Statue by Art Statue Collector.

"Venom is the result of an alien symbiote merged with a human holding a bitter grudge against Peter Parker. This combination has proven nearly lethal to the wall-crawler numerous times. Despite his hatred of Spider-Man, Venom has a twisted sense of morality, avoiding harming anyone he deems to be innocent and even performing heroic deeds. However, it is never clear how long Venom's darker impulses can be held in check. No matter how hard anyone tries to keep the symbiote down, Venom always manages to come back, like a plague."
