I'm sorry, but I hope there are next to ZERO sales for this POS. Hot Toys needs a wake-up call.
Cue broken record... why not an ACTUAL VENOM!?!
Where are the preorders for VGM Original Spider-Man? White Widow? Mantis? Valkerie? Taskmaster? Yon Rogg?
Who the hell asked for them to do this random crap from a cartoon series that by comparison to
every other Spidey animated series isn't even very good?
What is really funny is that he doesn't even look like that from the source material, lol.
Their Cosbaby line is actually the correct design from the show:
I had the exact same thought when I first saw it, then realized that this is actually from an ARTist line.
So ... they choose to make weird stuff. Some really original and cool looking (Samurai Predator also from ARTist) others just plain weird (Alien girl from Hot Angel).
I don't mind them getting some experience making these before Venom - which will most likely have limited articulation.
Wow. I only half-glanced at the title and assumed this was the Venomized Groot thread. At this rate, HT may release a Maximum Venom Venomized Eddie Brock by mistake one of these days...
Oh there's an audience. I said it over in the Groot thread but there's this bizarre fetish for Vemomized characters. It reminds me of the tacky truck decals, oversized black graphic tees, and affliction shirt crowds. Everything needs to be the edgy and dark version so they can "like it".
I do suspect there's a Marvel down push since so many other companies are also going in on this theme right now. I feel like it was on the buffet of themes that Marvel asks companies to focus on for a cycle, and given the above fact, they'd be dumb not to capitalize on it.
I would have rather gotten a realistic version of any of the comic/cover designs than what they came up with... seems to me they kinda missed the point of "venomized" because it just looks like venom with random iron man parts..
