12/13/2023 0 Comments Monster venom wave marvel legendsOf course, I know Venom and Carnage (even though the Symbiotes are not my favorite corner of the Spider-Man mythos) and Typhoid Mary and Spider-Ham are two that I definitely hold dear, but since this is a Venom-focused wave, it gives guys like Poison and Scream a chance to get into ML when they might be challenged to get into a standard wave otherwise. Now, I will admit, this series features a couple characters who are a bit outside of my wheelhouse. Our good pals at Dorkside Toys are shipping this series now, so we wanted to take a look at a series that features a lot characters getting their debut bows in the Legends line, and of course, lots and lots of Venom. Tom Hardy is taking up the Venom reigns for Sony, and the new movie is out very soon, so Hasbro is chasing down the exposure with an entire Marvel Legends series devoted to him and his adjacent characters. If you don’t have this Venom figure it’s worth picking up, but know that it’s a pretty basic figure.Even with the folding in of Fox to the House of Mouse which includes the Fantastic Four and X-Men coming home, there are still some movies being released that fall outside of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. That’s extra annoying given how Carnage has tendrils popping off arms and legs. They’ve thrown in a tendril neck piece, and the teeth are slightly different, but it’s the same body. The other problem I had is how similar this is to a previous Marvel Legends Venom released only three or so years ago. Luckily I have that older version so I could swap the body out with this. That isn’t to say every figure will have this defect, but it’s worth looking for just to be safe. This figure’s emblem is blown out and looks damaged. My biggest issue with this figure was the white paint on the chest emblem. It’s a good thing I did too because this might be the saddest release of the bunch!Ĭheck out the unboxing below to see what I mean. I’ve already unboxed all of the figures in this wave which includes Spider-Ham, Carnage, Typhoid Mary, Scream, and Poison leaving the title character of the wave to last. Sadly there are no movie tie-in toys here, but it was a nice gesture at least. This is a wave that pretty much coincides with the release of the hit film out in October. When I found out Marvel Legends was doing a Venom wave I got excited.
