This figure has an all-new body that stands around 7.5″-8″ tall, and is totally massive. The actual headliner of this series has to be considered the unexpected arrival of a SONY Venom movie figure! Fans have been asking for a Marvel Legends Movie Venom for two years, and this looks like a great one. Venompool looks “fine”, and I have a suspicion he may win me over when I can actually build and play with him. I won’t lie-I am not exactly excited by this choice, but I understand the decision to make a mash-up of two of Marvel’s most popular mainstream characters as the anchor to this wave. While the character has appeared briefly in the comics, this Venompool BAF is clearly based on the mobile game design. While I’ve seen a lot of collectors surprised by the high reveal of the Venompool Build-A-Figure, I had little doubt we’d be seeing this bulky behemoth show up after statues and and even a Hot Toys 1/6 figure of the Marvel Contest Of Champions character were announced last year. And after a leak last night of all the figures basically confirmed the series, Hasbro has reinforced that confirmation themselves in today’s Fan First Friday (Tuesday) livestream. When we saw the Venomized Spider-Gwen (Gwenom) and Miles Morales Spider-Man figures at Toy Fair (plus the Walmart Exclusive Venomized Captain America figure), the writing was on the wall that a new Venom series was on the way. Given the success and popularity of the 2018 Marvel Legends Venom Series of figures with the Monster Venom BAF (and Spider-Ham!), there was little doubt we’d get a Marvel Legends Venom 2 wave of figures to celebrate the second movie (which has now been delayed from October 2020 to June 2021 by the pandemic).
