However, the rest of me will likely cancel the order before it ships.
I am struggling with wanting a complete collection on the one hand, but on the other hand I am realizing that I shouldn't devote precious money and display space to something that I don't like that much. My first reaction upon seeing the final picture was a feeling of disappointment. The more I look at it, the less I think it will fit in with the dioramas I already have. I can't let Sideshow's official position that this is part of the line, combined with my desire to be a completist, drive me to the point of paying money for a piece that I don't like that much.
yes i ordered spidey v venom but unlike the majority, i like the exclusive alot.it is a vs piece but i dont know where the " diorama" comes from.
venom is breaking out of something but from what i dont know.
on the order page ss dont even explain what the base is supposed to be.
i consider it a vs bust not a dio and im buying it because i like the sculpt
and what there is of the fight scene + its a gore group piece and will go
near the rest of there vs dios that i own.it would have been nicer having 2 full statues on a proper dio base but im giong to enjoy owning this for WHAT it is.
I ordered both of them. But wether they stay or not will depend on the ES. Hopefully SS will keep the ES down on both versions, otherwise I will get them on ebay for half the retail price.
Nope! I dont care for it either but I am not THAT pissed about it for completist reasons. I dont feel compelled to have every piece. I just dont care for Busts although I love the FF piece and ordered it. I dont like the weird arm of Venom nor the fact that it's half a figure. Spidey looks fantastic as he did on the Hulk Dio but that's not enough for me on this one.
No. This one will be able to find for a nice price on ebay in the future so I'll go that route if I decide to pick it up.
But instead of spending $124 on this piece I placed it on something I would rather have.
I passed and will stick to VS dioramas that are FS only, no matter how SS categorizes them. It pains me to pass, since I love Martin and the Gore group.
As far as it being #4 in sales this week, I'd bet most of that is speculation. Once the edition sizes come up, there will be A TON of cancellations.
I haven't ordered it yet, but I probably will. The only VS Dio I own is the Hulk/Spidey and while this doesn't fit in with that; I do have the FF piece on order, and this will go nicely with that. I do wish it was complete, but I really like the way it looks. I'll be getting the regular, I might get it from a retailer and save some bucks.
I think it's an excellent piece for people that don't want to spend the money on a real Vs. diorama. I'm sure a lot of fans have been pining over them but the price has prevented them from buying. This is for them, not for the Vs. completists.
