Very generous score, I'm kinda suprised. I wouldn't give this set anything higher than a 6.
Also, it's weird that Hasbro based these figures off their modern designs instead of the Mark Bagley/Ron Lim designs from the 90s. So now Agony and Riot look out of place next to the previous Scream, Lasher, and Phage figures. I guess I'll wait until they release the inevitable "Life Foundation 5-Pack" exclusive to Hasbro Pulse for the low price of $749.99, or whatever they'll be charging by then.
They always leave room to make more money
the score is compare to Hasbro generally low standard anyway.
$750.99 what a deal, I can’t wait to put in my preorder for a PNG.
Definitely Carnage after Venom
as a favorite Symbiote.
And a Bagley Venom is an immediate purchase if you make it!
Carnage is my favorite. Riot’s face looks so derpy. Agony looks like a Hello Kitty Corpse Bride
Carnage?
@@fattdaddyswagg611 yeah that's what they said. They like carnage
@@fattdaddyswagg611 what about it?
@@fattdaddyswagg611anthony asks your favourite symbiote besides venom and carnage is a based choice
Outside from Venom himself, my favorite symbiote is Carnage. Toxin comes in third, though. He's pretty cool.
I think Riot's head is so big because they're thinking “Big monster man has big monster proportions!”. Oh well. Could definitely be smaller.
Venom is my favorite, but if I had to choose another : Carnage
You know Anthony, I don't even think they needed a new sculpt for Riot. I think the Caliban body would've been a great choice for him. It's big, it's an easy repaint, and there's never been any other symbiotes on it.
They said they needed a body bigger than venom but chose one of the biggest 🤦🏿♂️ caliban would've been perfect 🤦🏿♂️ or at least AOA sabretooth.
Even though he is new in the mythos for Venom but my favorite is Sleeper. He looks more alien, I love the colors of green and black, and his ability to produce various chemical compounds when he is fighting.
Careful with this venom, the ab crunch (for two copies I've seen now) will actually scratch against the paint of the venom symbol at the bottom if you're not careful. Just a heads up for everyone!
Yup happened to mine. It was so wack. Doesnt help that they used that weird new paint they been using lately. Which is more fragile
I like when Hasbro straight up copies diamond select (the Eddie head).
Also I believe these multi packs are getting too pricey mostly under the excuse that riot is "deluxe" size
I wish they'd straight copy DS, but that probably requires skill Hasbro lacks.
They didn't even copy, the select venom came out like 10 years ago, and DS isn't the only company allowed to make that half-venom/half-eddie head.
Yes, I would absolutely buy a Bagley head. It's mind blowing that Hasbro hasn't done this yet, so it's up to people like you to pick up their slack if we ever hope to get one.
White with a pearl gloss in an ideal world but solid glossy white would be fine for me
Perhaps Riot should take over the role Venom originally had before becoming Anti Hero.
Yes, I would buy a Mark Bagley style
Venom head if you make them.
Solid review of this set.
It's crazy to me that nobody's done a mark bagley style venom. I haven't even found any custom heads sculpts done in his style. Its arguably his most iconic look.
I don't mind the monster venom mold, but if they wanna give us the Life Foundation, Agony is close enough but Riot is all wrong. Everyone is saying the Colossus/death head/AoA Sabertooth body and I have to agree. Plus if they had used the smaller body maybe we'd have gotten more bludgeoning accessories instead of the scythe. I think the Null Venom head looks better on this body. Bagley 90s or Larsen is my favorite spider man art.
Symbiote wise, it'd either be Carnage or Toxin (first toxin), I like symbiote that can make weapons but prefer Toxin's overall look.
For me, I would’ve liked it if agony had this color scheme:
All the pink should’ve been that purple/magenta color the head is, and then the head should’ve been black, like you said. Then the rest should be a deep purple
Yes for Mark Bagley sculpt!!!
I've never liked the monster venom mold, I don't think it's enough of a size difference to warrant proportions being that wonky. My favorite symbiote other than venom is either anti venom or carnage, but venom will always be number 1. Thanks for the video Anthony
Damn, I'd really like to see you make a Mark Bagley style Venom headsculpt. That would be great.
Fave symbiote is Carnage, definitely.
Hey man all I know is those custom venom feet are perfect! I put the head of this venom figure on the knull two pack venom and it makes it look cooler to me! Also you should definitely make a new venom head because the feet were great already!
Venom is by far my preferred symbiote character, but I do love Carnage too. For me they're the only symbiote characters I care about, Toxin and Anti-Venom I have a passing familiarity with, but things like Knull and all the life foundation symbiotes do nothing for me.
I don't care for the Omega Red body on Venom, to me like a lot of Marvel Legends the shoulders look really weird, probably because Omega Red had those shoulder pads to compensate. For me the recent 2-pack Venom was the way to go, I just prefer the heads and general proportions.
Average toy reviewer: "OMG THESE ARE AMAZING"
Chad Anthony: its actually not good at all
Yeah it's the same for me. Venoms my all time favorite symbiote, but if I had to choose another, it's carnage for sure.
The venom head looks directly based on the kotobukiya figure, even down to the tounge
Yes please make a Mark Bagley head, Venom is my favorite
"Venom might be Spider-Man's most dangerous villain"
Green Goblin!
I’ve always like hybrid he’s so rare and the fact I don’t see him much made me obsessed with him as a kid
Ya know for some reason, I think of Jessie and James from Team Rocket when I see this Agony and Riot.
I ordered two sets from Amazon, so I could piece together a good one and return the other. I had scuffs and/or scratches on 1 riot eye, 1 agony upper body and jacked paint on the arms, white eye on both venom/brock heads and 1 of the venom tongue heads.
I'm ok with the set, but I've either been getting really unlucky or hasbro's QC has gotten even worse since switching to these virtue signal packages.
Best symbiote is the one from Spiderman 3 that managed to make Peter Parker become the biggest tool ever (I just pretend that wasn't venom).
YES Anthony, we need a Bagely head & a McFarlane head PLEASE. 🙏
Venom is definitely my favorite symbiote, but honestly Carnage would be my next favorite, especially with Ben Reilly.
Hasbro's Legends are practically a meme now
I think a Bagley venom head would be awesome. If i could put that on this venom figure, I might actually buy the 3 pack. Also, while I prefer Venom, if I had to pick a favorite symbiote besides him, I would say either Carnage or Anti-Venom. Obviously, Carnage is better than AV being a real character and a real symbiote. But I also think that AV looks cool.
I am overall happy with this set, and I collect most symbiote characters so glad to finally have Riot in my collection. Should have happened sooner, and the reuse of Monster Venom is not a shock. They could have done a lot better, but I'll take it over the Toy Biz version, which looked like something out of a David Cronenberg movie. Agony could have been painted better, but I will admit, I like the pink because it helps her stand out in my symbiote collection since most are either black or red.
So, your 2 questions...
My favorite Symbiote... besides Venom... Lasher. I know he is another conflicted character like Eddie Brock, and his colors are cool.
Had to wait until the end of the video to see my favorite figure Darwin. Love it
I'm good with either silver or white eyes. I just think the white eyes for Venom would have matched the spider symbol better. As for the figure itself, they need to redo the Omega Red buck with improved proportions and at least a diaphragm joint. Add in pinless joints that aren't gummy and we would have the best Marvel Legends Venom. It's a great buck for large muscular characters, but it's five years old and needs an update.
The other two figures are whatever for me, but I'm mainly getting this for the Venom. I might swap out the head with one of the KiB heads, likely the second head with jagged eyes and teeth fused to the lips. That was pretty much what Venom looked like when he and Spidey first fought the Life Foundation Symbiotes.
And yes, I would love to have a proportioned Mark Bagley head for Venom here. I'm sure you would be able to set it on the body properly without the neck being too long while avoiding lollipop syndrome. lol That tends to be an issue with the Omega Red buck due to how high the ball peg sits on the neck. So yeah, go for it. I look forward to seeing how it would turn out!
I have been waiting 20 plus years for a good Bagley style Venom. Please make that head, it would be a dream come true.
YES. Bro, PLEEEEASE make a Bagley head for this guy. 🙏🏽😫 For the culture.
Question of the day: I definitely favor Carnage, Lasher and Phage were easily my favorite back then if I had to choose any but Venom. There’s so many of them though, so this changes for me tons.
You should definitely make some Bagley heads for Venom, I know you aren’t asking but I would absolutely buy a head for Riot if that somehow came down to plenty of people actually wanting one 😂.
But I would absolutely buy a Bagley Venom head.
I got these on the way, I’m psyched but kinda wish I waited.
I prefer the white eyes, unless they’re gonna start making symbiotes with silver eyes from here on, just an odd choice.
I would love a mark bagley and mcfarlane style venom head sculpts anthony also i love anti venom and phage
Yes on the bagley headsculpt!!
Yes!!! A Bagley head sculpt!!
Carnage!!!! He was my first Marvel action figure as a kid
White eyes! I agree with the lack of accessories in this pack, and yes! Please make a Bagley Venom head!
I would absolutely buy a Venom head from you for this figure. I actually just recently got your Venom feet. Great work!
Also, outside of Venom and Carnage, my favorite symbiote is Hybrid. Surprised we've yet to get a figure of him.
Venoms proportions remind me of those children's toys I got as a kid that had their pimps and head big as a stylistic choice
Besides Venom, I rock with Carnage. I liked him even since I picked up the Spidey comic with his original appearance back when I was a kid
Venom would’ve been dope with another normal Eddie Brock head like he did with the older venom
Wave. And this venom head more looks like movie venom. Seeing they were on a repaint kick why not use the same headsculpt from the animated series Comic-Con and just don’t add the cell shading!? Another swing and a miss. The venom heads from the knull pack work well enough though on this body.
1) Other than Venom, Carnage for obvious reasons
2) Yeah we NEED good venom heads. One smiling and one open.
3) I preffer white too. For me, it looks better and it's easier to fix if the paint is scratched.
We reached a point where even the "good" MLs are overpriced and not worth getting full price. All the ones i've been getting were very discounted. That's what everyone should do, not pay everything and wait for discounts.
Yes, I would love a custom head made by you for this Venom!
Favorite symbiote is Carnage. Being Venom on crack and that awesome Maximum Carnage SNES game (Based on a subpar comic) cemented him as my favorite of the symbiotes.
Great review, I do think you were a bit generous in the final rating. I was expecting a 7 tops. Maybe even a 6. As usual Hasbro could have done better, especially given the price point. Might be my favorite Marvel legends Venom though.
Cletus Cassidy and Ben Reilly Carnage are top of my list! 🤘🖤
Venom is the goat, but if he didn't exist my favorite would be Sleeper cause of his ability to transform into a cat
Would LOVE a Bagley head for this figure. Tried swapping the earlier version from the Absorbing Man and movie waves, and, they're ok, but a tad too small for this body.
PLEASE DO make a Bagley head! I'd love that. Been wanting that forever. And I prefer Venom but if I had to choose another symbiote I'd say Toxin. Probably because he's the best of both worlds where he can be lanky and creepy or huge and bulky. Love it
Venompool is my favorite. But I guess that would just be the Venom Symbiote.
Yes, please make a better head, that’d be awesome!
Phage. Glorious orange symbiote.
Yes please to the Bagley head. Currently using the head from the absorbing man wave but a custom head made to fit the body would be awesome.
Venom is easily my favorite. Scream is my second. I'd love a Bagley/McFarlane head!!
Definitely want a bagley head for this body.
Never read the comics but loved the old toybiz riot and wish this looked like that.
Loooooove the brock head sculpt
I’m happy I canceled my order. The Venom looks cool but that’s about it. I already have the retro animated series Venom so I’m good.
I do prefer Venom btw but if I had to choose someone else it’ll be Anti-Venom. It’s actually a different symbiote from Venom.
6:11 I think it's the best head we've gotten.
In terms of design my favorite symbiote is Dark carnage followed by toxin with the red upper half and black legs. And then anti venom.
To answer your question during the video YES PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD PLEASE MAKE A MARK BAGLEY STYLE HEAD FOR THIS VENOM FIGURE lol That would be incredible and finally give all of us our ideal marvel legends Venom. I know you would crush it and make it look amazing 🤘
The GOOP Troop
Make the venom head!! Also Carnage is my fav. The latest Carnage figure with the extra texture is my fav ML
I kinda understand why they chose to go with monster venom body for Riot, they wanted him to be bigger than the omega red body but like it just doesn't fit his proportions... I would've chosen the Caliban baf personally... yeah it would've been a repaint with the symbiote texture but like... all the other life Fondation symbiote are all just straight repaints with any sculpt work at all so I don't think the Caliban body would've stood out too much. That's just my opinion
Agreed
You should totally make a venom head!
Good review!!
Quick Question: When are you going to review Toad from the 20th Anniversary Wave? I was waiting on your Review to know if the figure was worth buying
Can you review the mafex venom? Im thinking of getting and you pick apart the faults which is what i need
My favorite is symbiote Peter, then carnage then venom, then army venom
Yes to a Mark Bagley or Eric Larsen head!
would definitely be intrested in a bagley or even a mcfarlane venom head👍
I prefer the leaner look on the movie venom. Omega red should have been bigger than buck he was released on. favorite symbiote: symbiote spider-man of course! carnage is just mid.
I'd take a Mark Bagley style Venom head for sure
Definitely need a Bagley head!!
Yes to the head for this venom!
My favorite next to Venom is Carnage as well.
I wasn't too impressed with the box set either. Did you notice that the Venom hips weren't painted and are flat black?
I really would have loved a better version of Riot too. I said it before but I want a Sony Movie Carnage and Riot. Easily reuse the Movie Venom figure and simply repaint it nicely. Anyway, a lot of people were content with this box set because of the price and I told people that the price for the three pack was so cheap because these are all reused molds with little to no accessories and only really came with three, new head sculpts. I still want the Venom though lol
Because I have the MAFEX Venom, I will never need another Marvel Legends Venom ever again.
Mark Bagley venom head! Yes please!
I also don't like the head on that Venom, it's definitely the eyes doing it, they're too squinty for my liking, they need to be bigger, less furrowed. I ultimately made the Knull pack Venom my main comic Venom (with the addition of the Anthony Customs feet!), and passed on this 'cause I don't like the Venom enough, and I don't have any of the other Life Foundation symbiotes, so the 2 that are in this set aren't must-haves for me. As far as multi-pack must-haves go though, the Stryfe and Pretty Boy in that upcoming X-Men 5-pack are a different story.
Do you know when you will be shipping out the venom feet? I ordered as soon as the video came out. I cant remember if you said when they would ship out tho.
I've been shipping and production since the sale ended. There were hundreds of orders as soon as the video went live.
My favorite marvel comic villain of all time is carnage. So yeah. He’s my favorite symbiote
If you make a Bagley head for this Venom I will cry tears of joy and I’ll order 3
My daughter even said “her face is wrong” when comparing the toy and packaging art.
The Knull Venom heads and hands make this Venom look way better. I think the hands it comes with are too big and the Knull Venom hands balance everything out.
Yes Bagley Venom would a huge W.
Other than venom, carnage and toxin, and yes i would like a bagley head for this
They maybe could have used the hair from the Walgreen's Medusa figure for Agony's hair?
Hasbro sure loves giving figures big heads lmao
Carnage is my favorite next probably Anti-Venom and then Agent Venom👌🏻
Other than venom and carnage, since they’re the obvious two, I would go with Scream. I like the crazy hair
PLEASE MAKE THE VENOM HEAD
Patrick Mulligan Toxin is my favorite.
I Pick Venom But I Also Like Carnage Riot Phage Agony Scream Lasher & Toxin
Hey I have a question when you use the ab crunch on venom does is stract the lower body white paint?
I didn't notice any
Scream is pretty cool liked her in the comics. I feel they should have used the Caliban body for Riot.
Yes a Mark Bagley head would help the Venom figure
