Wish we would get a more Mark Bagley styled heads. So much of the 90s spiderman comics was done by him, especially the Maximum Carnage saga. I understand Todd created him but in my mind Mark's work sticks out in my head first.
Same. I love McFarlane and I'm stoked for this figure because I haven't gotten the prior "grinning" heads, and I think this is the best of them so far, but Bagley is the ideal Venom for me. I'd kill for one modeled after Lethal Protector 1.
I’m getting mine soon. I was just charged. Great review. You’re still the best Poser in the game. Heartbreaking to see they didn’t give him the drop down hips and the neck hinge. One day we’ll get the drop down hip, neck hinged, toe articulated and pinless version. Hopefully before I’m dead.
Nice review as always, can't wait to get him. Wish we had gotten a new Bagley style head and pinless arms/legs. Guess that means we can fully expect another new Venom in a few years. Having bought the last two Venoms, my biggest wants were the torso twist + butterflies. Glad we're finally getting that.
Oh my goodness, boy oh boy, bruhv, is it ever good to see u!! I feel this very strong need to start out by informing u just how much I sure have been missing and needing me some Just Jay content!!! I can’t tell u how good and happy getting this vid made me feel, both while in the act of watching it, and just seeing that it was in my list of posted new videos to be able to be watched. I don’t know how it somehow seems to have happened, but I just realized that without having u in my weekly viewing rotation, between ur videos and ur live streams, that u now represent an era or a time capsule of a place and time in my life that I forgot I didn’t have anymore! I miss u so much buddy, awesome work as ever and having it like this makes it mean even more to me!! So getting all that bonus footage with ur poses and with such a fitting choice of song, playing almost like it was meant to be a secret (wars?)? And then with that classical music at the videos actual true end? Chefs kiss, MUAH!! I love ya and am still so thankful for u, my friend!!!
Yeah i agree thats still the best Goblin, and im happy with the animated series Venom, if they make one pinless one day and with a toe hinge then i will upgrade
I painted the spider onto my movie Venom. So far that has held me over, but this one is tempting. If I have the money and see this in the wild I'm picking it up.
I do wish they would've gone with smooth forearms though for a nice classic look - I supposed they'll do another version later on with that being changed.
Honestly, I was on the fence about this one. The Spiderman Retro figures are the only ones I keep Mint On Card, so I was definitely in for one, but wasn’t sure if I really needed a second one to open. I’ve been a huge Venom fan since I was a kid, so I’m glad to see this one turned out decently well. The King in Black Venom is probably going to remain my definitive Venom on my shelf, but this video makes me look forward to getting this version in hand.
Even tho i already have the Deluxe Monster Venom & Venom from the Knull 2 Pack..i still pre-ordered Walmart Exclusive Venom the other day..i believe its the most CLASSIC style Venom out there.. Anyways im happy to see you posting Marvel Legends reviews regularly again..im looking forward to more of your Marvel Legends reviews 👑
He lookin good, and if I see him at ol Wally world I'll probably pick him up...My personal definitive Venom right now is that Deluxe "Monster Venom" repaint. I just love the exaggerated size when compared to the "Pizza Spidey" Buck.
i hear ya for th3 neck limit for dumbell styled once i took a page from the retro spidey and used a xacto knifr to cut a lil notch so my movie venom can hunch over but still look forward
It's always awesome to see your videos Jay, definitely worth the wait. I already have a great venom figure (Knull double pack) but this one is so damn tempting!
U r in my opinion the very top tier toy reviewer to date. I have favorites but hot damn it’s always Christmas only wish you had more of them. Your opinion however holds a lot of weight in the collector zone it’s always seemed. Rage on brother 👊🏼
I hope Hasbro gives us a more classic-style tongue head (maybe with slime?) when they inevitably rerelease this figure again This tongue head is a bit too modern for my liking
I played with the real retro venom over 30 years ago. He had fixed arms and his hands were flat out like a zombie but he was big like early venom comics. I played with him until his paint wore off
Leave it to J to provide all the details we need when it comes to figures. This Venom looks amazing! Definitely an upgrade from the 3 Pack Venom. Hell, the more durable white paint is enough reason for me to buy this. I was always hesitant to mess with the 3 Pack one because of potential paint chipping. The torso on this Venom also seems to have a larger spider/dragon symbol on the chest, which is especially better on the back. I believe there is more chest to back ratio on this buck, too, since the Omega Red mould was a little slim in that regard. My only issues with this figure is that the head seems too high up on the body, and the arms may be a tad bit too long. Something about this new torso seems to make this more apparent. Still, that stuff won't really matter when Venom's not in a vanilla pose. Overall, incredible! ^^
Yeah, he addressed EVERYTHING in this review. From the plastic, the paint, the range comparison (laughably disappointing) It's wild. So much passion put into his reviews.
Love the head, but holding out for a pinless update I think. The veiny pee pee arms weird me out me a little too… Would love a redo at omega red himself, though I wonder if they could/would do a dedicated torso with a cyclops/cable style set up for the straps? Great vid as always anyway! Love the subway dio.
Man it's been a while since I watched your figure reviews and man I forgot how much I loved them till you poped in my recommended XD Last time I watched a review of your was when you reviewed the mafex Black suit Spiderman XD Man what ever happened to the old videos?
At the end where you have black costume Spider-Man and Deadpool pose with Venom. You should have had black costume spider-man and venom looking at each other with the side eyes because they have beef. 😄😄😄 Greatness as always sir, keep doing what you do and I'll definitely keep watching.
Great review J! Completely forgot this guy was even coming out haha. I'd like to track this one down if I can, so I can have a "normal" looking Venom instead of just having the Monster Venom on the shelf which I like but isn't the most dynamic.
Small heads up, you said you are hoping for a new Vulcan update, we’re getting that with the new punisher 2 pack, punisher has Vulcan arms and legs, so I’m assuming it’s an updated Vulcan torso as well!
Awesome video like always. The neck thing is all Hasbros fault. The double ball peg is the go to for necks, they just keep doing it wrong on the engineering side. The jada toys Ryu and fei long are the perfect examples of how its supposed to be done. It really isnt hard to get right.
Definitely looks better than the 3-pack version. Even with all the choices for Venom, I've still stuck with the 2006 Toybiz 'symbiote blast' Venom, until now. Got mine preordered the moment it dropped.
The double ball joint is a superior joint to the swivel hinge. Unfortunately Hasbro does not know how to do a double ball jointed neck, so we're stuck with new and amazing figures with mediocre head range.
I read a while back that the double ball joints aren’t that great because of safety regulations. Apparently the joint has to be a certain depth within the body, otherwise it can’t be sold to younger audiences. That’s why the range isn’t great. I’m not sure if it’s accurate or not but it would explain it, so I’ve gone with that as an explanation ever since I first read about it.
@@SlicedNugget That’s a lie from the marvel team. If that were the case, then the Black Series figures would have the same problem, but those figures have incredible head and neck range. I think it’s because placing it deeper in the head keeps the QC under control, which is very important when you consider how many Marvel figures Hasbro produces in comparison to their other lines.
❤ the glenn pose. Never forgotten, what an amazing man. 10/10 review for the best ML Venom made to date
Wish we would get a more Mark Bagley styled heads. So much of the 90s spiderman comics was done by him, especially the Maximum Carnage saga. I understand Todd created him but in my mind Mark's work sticks out in my head first.
I’ve been begging for a Mark Bagley Venom figure! Especially from “Venom: Lethal Protector #2”
Dude, same. Bagley has been the GOAT ever since Lethal Protector. Pretty much every other artist just sucks at drawing Venom's face and head IMO.
Great comment . I was watching a UA-cam video recently, apparently Todd didn't even create , some random fan
Same. I love McFarlane and I'm stoked for this figure because I haven't gotten the prior "grinning" heads, and I think this is the best of them so far, but Bagley is the ideal Venom for me. I'd kill for one modeled after Lethal Protector 1.
@@danieldelewis2448 Whaaaaaat ??
Love the in honor of Glenn pose glad to see he’s not forgotten
I only came to his channel retrospectively from J - and glad I did
He never will be. Glenn will always be a Legend!
I’m getting mine soon. I was just charged.
Great review. You’re still the best Poser in the game. Heartbreaking to see they didn’t give him the drop down hips and the neck hinge.
One day we’ll get the drop down hip, neck hinged, toe articulated and pinless version. Hopefully before I’m dead.
I need a repaint of this venom, but MvC style Blue and White, with a new head that has the green drool
Oh, HELL yes. 🤘
Same
Was gonna pick this guy up to paint him just to look like the MvC Venom!
Yes!
This looks better than the promo pics and in hand pics. No regrets about PO'ing it now
Getting him in Mexico was tough but the battle was won lol I like how he feels, though it came with a bit of paint chipping on the insignia
You got the best reviews on the internet!! Very entertaining and informative! Love this channel bro!
...dont ever stop the posing session!
Good to see you again man love when you put up a video
I feel spoiled with J Hernandez videos lately
The best at fig review vids with all the things folks wanna see and know.
Can’t wait…wish we could get it in light blue too
I love the new McFarlane head but if I want to use a venom head with the tongue sticking out, I go for the one that came in the Knull two pack.
Great video Jay! I'm down with that Ali Express too! Lol I'm waiting on Earthworm Jim! Lol
Had to thumbs up the video at the start with the J.Hernandez is back screen
Yo good to have ya back J
Hell yeah!! Couldn’t click fast enough. This is the subject and host that make this man my favorite reviewer!!!
It’s a good day when Jay drops a video
Damn now I feel like a need to go to Ali and buy one instead of wait for the one I pre ordered! Love seeing these videos J! Much love brotha!
I always click like on your videos as soon as I click the start button.👏👏👏
Love seeing you upload video’s again man!
Thanks buddy, been wanting a good retro Venom and this one checks all the marks. Pre-ordered.
Nice review as always, can't wait to get him. Wish we had gotten a new Bagley style head and pinless arms/legs. Guess that means we can fully expect another new Venom in a few years. Having bought the last two Venoms, my biggest wants were the torso twist + butterflies. Glad we're finally getting that.
Thanks for the great review. I'm still satisfied with my Amazon 3 pack Venom, but I'm happy for people who never got that figure.
Thanks to J I got this pre-ordered. I just assumed it was sold out like other walmart/target exclusives I've previously tried to get.
Oh my goodness, boy oh boy, bruhv, is it ever good to see u!! I feel this very strong need to start out by informing u just how much I sure have been missing and needing me some Just Jay content!!!

Another terrific video J, and that new diorama backdrop is fricken amazing!
it was easy for me to subscribe after watching this video. love the editing and the music and setting. really great stuff dog!
Many thnx, man, very much appreciate it! 🙏
Soooooo true , every time I watch J's videos I feel like I'm getting spoiled, he is one of my favorites...Thank you J.
Yeah i agree thats still the best Goblin, and im happy with the animated series Venom, if they make one pinless one day and with a toe hinge then i will upgrade
Another great review JH. Thank you! I ordered 2 :)
Not a returning viewer but an Old friend Brother! I'm always here 💗 Bro!
I painted the spider onto my movie Venom. So far that has held me over, but this one is tempting.
If I have the money and see this in the wild I'm picking it up.
So happy got my preorder in, can’t wait, another banger review!
Hmmm. Seeing the scarlet spider I’m gonna get some blue stuff and make custom molds for feet for all of my figures.
Great video 👍
I do wish they would've gone with smooth forearms though for a nice classic look - I supposed they'll do another version later on with that being changed.
the pictures didnt do it justice. Looks pretty good.

Love your review , high quality as always
lovin this review!! one of my most anticipated releases this year. i just wish he could crouch as good as the spidey figures
Even tho i already have the Deluxe Monster Venom & Venom from the Knull 2 Pack..i still pre-ordered Walmart Exclusive Venom the other day..i believe its the most CLASSIC style Venom out there..
Anyways im happy to see you posting Marvel Legends reviews regularly again..im looking forward to more of your Marvel Legends reviews 👑
2 @jhernandez JAWNS in the same week 👊🏾👊🏾👊🏾👊🏾
He lookin good, and if I see him at ol Wally world I'll probably pick him up...My personal definitive Venom right now is that Deluxe "Monster Venom" repaint. I just love the exaggerated size when compared to the "Pizza Spidey" Buck.
That Spider Buggy is dope! 🤟🖤🕷️
i hear ya for th3 neck limit for dumbell styled once i took a page from the retro spidey and used a xacto knifr to cut a lil notch so my movie venom can hunch over but still look forward
Ordered 2 because of this video.
I would have started this video even sooner, but I was still watching your last video 😆
My venom collection doesn't need this one even with the little changes, but I'm hoping for the MvC version if the rumors are true
It's always awesome to see your videos Jay, definitely worth the wait. I already have a great venom figure (Knull double pack) but this one is so damn tempting!
McFarlane Spidey.
That Venom head shows it must be done.
Imagine if Hasbro did artist series like DC?
That's the dream, man. My big want is an Art Adams F4 box set.
torn between keeping my king in black venom or selling him for this guy! choices!! great review as always J
Two different aesthetics, definitely keep em both!
King in Black is fantastic, definitely keep it!
Great review as always …. I love that dio by the way
Thank god I secured mine when I had the chance.
I hope it's as good as you described it.
Awesome Venom 🤘🔥🔥🔥🔥
Reminds me of the Spider man 3 venom
U r in my opinion the very top tier toy reviewer to date. I have favorites but hot damn it’s always Christmas only wish you had more of them. Your opinion however holds a lot of weight in the collector zone it’s always seemed. Rage on brother 👊🏼
Thank you J for providing info and entertainment. Always great looking forward to when these drop 👌
I hope Hasbro gives us a more classic-style tongue head (maybe with slime?) when they inevitably rerelease this figure again
This tongue head is a bit too modern for my liking
J in the Hoooouuuuuse👍🏽 you’re the Best Man!!!
Yet again another banger video from the GOAT!
I played with the real retro venom over 30 years ago. He had fixed arms and his hands were flat out like a zombie but he was big like early venom comics. I played with him until his paint wore off
I had the first 2 from ToyBiz ... the one that you could squeeze goop out of ... and the other with the flicking tongue.
Leave it to J to provide all the details we need when it comes to figures. This Venom looks amazing! Definitely an upgrade from the 3 Pack Venom. Hell, the more durable white paint is enough reason for me to buy this. I was always hesitant to mess with the 3 Pack one because of potential paint chipping.

Knull Venom is the GOAT IMO. Hardly ever see the... F E E T

Would love a redo at omega red himself, though I wonder if they could/would do a dedicated torso with a cyclops/cable style set up for the straps?
Great vid as always anyway! Love the subway dio.
the ball peg neck would work fine if they stopped burying the dam peg and lower ball

Greatness as always sir, keep doing what you do and I'll definitely keep watching.
subbed. Love the personality and the quality
🙏🙏🙏
I preordered one can’t wait. Just in time for my birthday in September
As always chef’s kiss.
Looks wicked. Wish I could get one... dont have WalMarts in the Caribbean. Feeling the burn with Warbird myself. Nice one as usual.
Damn that figure looks so good
Man…I really was gonna pass on this guy. You convinced me J, you’ve done it again!
If you make a cut at the back of the neck with an xacto knife like the scarlet spider, the range of up movement is really increased
Seen that, yeah. With my unsteady hand, I'd mess it up.
Great review J! Completely forgot this guy was even coming out haha. I'd like to track this one down if I can, so I can have a "normal" looking Venom instead of just having the Monster Venom on the shelf which I like but isn't the most dynamic.
They should’ve gave him the same head from the other spider man animated series that snake looking one
Loved that 6:00 , awesome video as always J
🔥🔥🔥 just snagged a preorder after watching this review thnx!
Thank You for this review, now Im sure it is amazing!!
I watched another reviewer #Weekly Allowance and I agreed that Psyduck should always be with Psylocke 😂 Great review
Near perfection. I’m hyped.
Another banger if a video Jay. Love the comparison as I have been on the fence in this Venom
I loved your old videos...but tell me, can he balance?! woooooooh
Xmanny87 brought me here 🙌
Small heads up, you said you are hoping for a new Vulcan update, we’re getting that with the new punisher 2 pack, punisher has Vulcan arms and legs, so I’m assuming it’s an updated Vulcan torso as well!
The new punisher has the torso swivel ab crunch on the Vulcan body.
Yeah, looks good, one of my most anticipated now.
Awesome video brother, Venom's always been a personal favorite. Hopefully we can get a new legends agent venom.
Loved the video can't wait for mine
Daaaaaam you're on a rol J 🙌

The double ball joint is a superior joint to the swivel hinge. Unfortunately Hasbro does not know how to do a double ball jointed neck, so we're stuck with new and amazing figures with mediocre head range.
You are correct. Something needs to be tweaked big time.

Late to the party, but MAN this is nicer than expected! May have to pick this one up. Enjoying all the videos, thanks as always! 😎👍
We have the new punisher body with the reverse abs crunch and torso swivel + butterfly joints, So hope that's the new standard going forward
