There's probably a bigger market for Venom than the other villains. He's the one I'd want the least but it seems that fanboys still get chubbies over him.
Ive pre-ordered, but am stille not completley sold on this piece, its a shame that that chose some extreme poses that obviously cannot be obtained without some kind of help/support...I'm probably gonna pose him in "a landing on the train" stance like in SM2
Most likely it was the easiest to get. The likeness rights, licensing fees, issues differ from film to film. Much like they did with Terminator or Predators, they'll nab the easiest so it gives them a chance to work on older licenses in the process. The newer films don't usually require too much and many licensees have said the older the film even 10 years comes along with red tape. I guarantee that if allowed HT will go back and do the Power Ranger Goblin and Doc Ock. Whether or not we'll get Spideys too remains to be seen.
This is how im gonna pose him, wish he had better wall gripping hands/fingers though
I wonder if they'll do New Goblin
If they do a bunch of characters (and this is HT we're talking about so I doubt it) I only want regular Spidey, Green Goblin and Doc Ock.
Damn if they did Snowboarder Harry over The Green Goblin I'd be pissed.

If I could pick one other character it would be Doc Ock for sure. Not only because of my affinity for the character, but that design seems like something HT could really sink their teeth into.
Yeah, similar to Whiplash. A Hot Toys Doc Ock would be amazing with the articulated tentacles and the unique body.
I don't think the Green Goblin would be a slouch in the design department for them either. I could just see the complex suit, Willem Dafoe portrait, mask and then that awesome metallic purple glider with pumpkin bombs and that trident thing he had.
Doc Ock and Goblin NEED to happen, but I doubt they will. I'm sure they'd be much better sellers than Sandman and Venom especially since there's so much more to them (Doc Ock's harness, Green Goblin's glider and suit).
It's interesting to note that Goblin and Doc Ock were originally going to have a team up similar to Venom/Sandman in the first Spider-Man together. Glad they didn't go that route.

Im surprised with all the nitpicking that nobody is really pointing out the eyes.
This is 1000 guaranteed purchase for me, I really have no issues except the eyes cause in all the movies, they are reflective. But the HT version has a mesh look.
I'll probably end up modding it if HT leaves it as it is.
