Hot Toys Reveals Their Fierce New Venom Figure

We may have to wait until next year before Venom comes back to the big screen, but Hot Toys has decided to release promo shots for their new Venom figure based on the Sony film.

Check these out:

Here's the official description:

"On my world, I'm pretty much a loser. Kind of like you, Eddie. But here on Earth, together, perhaps we could be something more." – Venom

Venom is one of the four alien symbiotes drifting through space on a comet as an advance scout party, looking for worlds to conquer, and approaching living body as hosts to survive. However, the symbiotes never really found a place where they can exist in harmony with the life forms of whatever planet they find themselves on. Not until Venom finds Eddie Brock on Earth, finds himself to live in equilibrium.

Long-awaited by fans, today Hot Toys is excited to officially present the dark, villainous Venom as a 1/6th scale collectible figure inspired by movie that shares the same title.

Masterfully crafted based on the appearance of Venom from the movie, the screen-accurate vinyl figure measures approximately 38cm tall displays a high level of detailed sculpting, specially on the texture of his skin, fearsome fanged mouth and tongue. The latest figure introduces a body painted with black polarized paint that gives natural shiny glow from different viewing angles; two newly developed head sculpts featuring a grinning head sculpt, as well as a head sculpt with fanged mouth and interchangeable protruding tongues; interchangeable weapons and accessories including symbiote weapons and Riot's symbiote sword; multiple Venom with symbiote accessories attachable to figure's back spewing black liquid; matching hands for iconic gestures; and a movie-themed figure stand.

Moreover, the Special Edition available in selected markets will include one additional Venom maw with symbiote accessory as bonus item exclusively for collectors.

The ultimate symbiote figure is striking fear into your unconventional Marvel display!

While Venom was critically panned when it came out, I think a lot of people can agree that the look of Venom was pretty spot on—save for the white spider emblem on his chest. Unlike Raimi's Venom, we have a big, hulking figure who had all kinds of weird black tentacles coming out of him. I kind of just wish this came with an alternate Tom Hardy head, but they can always make that an extra with future figures.

Though Venom was unclear with its connection to the MCU, it's said that Marvel and Sony have agreed to have characters cross over moving forward. It's going to be interesting to see when Marvel plans to have Spider-Man interact with the symbiote, seeing that the storyline is pretty much one of the most iconic from the comics. I'm not expecting a shot-for-shot remake, but at least something true to the spirit of the comic.

For now, Venom 2 is set to come out on June 24, 2021.
