The new Hasbro packaging did not include a comic book and the new molds eliminated finger joints, which were a mainstay during the Toy Biz era, but the company did continue with the theme of Build-A-Figure pieces. Beginning January 1, 2007, Hasbro became the new license holder to the rights to produce toys and games based upon the Marvel Universe. The first wave featured the heroes of Iron Man, Captain America, and the Hulk, with Toad as the villain.

It copied the clam-shell packaging and the included comic book that had shipped with the Spider-Man Classics line. The line initially began in 2002 as a spin-off of Spider-Man Classics, both produced by Toy Biz. This line is in the 6-inch (150 mm) scale, with spin-off lines in the 4-inch (100 mm), 8-inch (200 mm), and 12-inch (300 mm) scale. You can get the whole thing right now on Amazon.Marvel Legends is an action figure line based on the characters of Marvel Comics, initially produced by Toy Biz, then by Hasbro. If you want the Monster Venom figure you’re going to have to buy the entire set. It’s a decent wave though if you’re seeking more Symbiotes or characters like Poison who are within the realm of Venom’s world. The Venom figure is practically an entire rerelease. The Carnage head, for instance, has already been used as well as his hands. Many of these figures lack accessories and many parts are being reused. In regards to this wave I wasn’t completely blown away. The veiny arms and legs are also quite cool and his posture is actually quite like the recent screenshot from the new Venom film. I’m a sucker for purple Venom figures and this one doesn’t disappoint there. The tendril details are nice and the figure’s paint job is excellent. This is a very nice addition to any Symbiote or Venom collection. It’s a hulk of a figure.Ĭheck out the unboxing below to see for yourself: The conventional Marvel Legends packaging simply wouldn’t allow a figure as big as Monster Venom. One of the coolest things about build-a-figure action figures is how large they can be. Click any of the links below to read and watch the unboxings for the previous characters.
