As I mentioned, this figure gets you an Eddie Brock head, but also a Venom head (open mouth) that is different from the previous (mostly) closed mouth and tongue wagging heads included with the previous version, as well as some symbiote tendrils about the neck. So, even if he was not getting his own series, and as he is a popular character, it was time to get a new version anyway. This new figure is built on the same large base as the previous Venom figure (but with fists instead of open hands), which has become pretty difficult to find. I am going to split the efforts up into two different looks, so today we will be focusing on the (standard) Venom, Poison, and Scream. Collecting all six standard figures in the series will afford you the chance to build up a “Monster” Venom Build-a-Figure, so you even get a couple of different options for the titular character in the wave. Of 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. 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.
