It's all about the scale,not which looks better.Stop getting your e-feelings so hurt.

Sideshow Venom comiquette is easily the best.

I also own the Bowen full-size statues, so I'm not showing any kind of favoritism either.

One other thing to remember Sousuke22, this is a pro-Sideshow forum...many of them seem to despise Bowen statues for some reason. Just like if you go on Bazinga!Bazinga! it'd likely be vice versa. It's ridiculous....me I like all companies as long as the statue looks good I'll buy it.

Sorry to say this, but I don't understand when people ask others what they should buy...to me...if you like it...YOU should make the decision, not others. It's your money, your collection...I understand valuing opinions of others, but ultimately it comes down to what you're happy with.

Thumbs up

I bought the SSC comiquette before the hype and in person it really gives off the brute power vibe. (picture isn't enough to feel it). I like the 'bring it on' pose very much.

I don't have a Bowen venom, but yes I agree, the crouched 'ready to leap and go for the throat' pose is very venom like (natural). I like it too.

The 1/2 scale custom; I have to compliment the beautiful paint job, but the pose looks a bit to static imo.

I almost bought the Marvel Milestones zombie spider-man vs venom also but it is pretty small (10inch instead of the 12 they claim). But it is unique (daring) and I like the gruesomeness.

I like the SSC one best overall, although I do like the pose of the Bowen model better, as a lot of users have said.

I've been looking to purchase the SSC Comiquette, but I've been unable to find one for under $700, and I just can't swing that. It doesn't seem like people are very willing to let these pieces go.

A conclusion is simply the place where you got tired of thinking.
