For the most part, it's hard to find fault with Sony Pictures' Venom (from a design standpoint, at least). The Lethal Protector is physically imposing and comic-accurate...aside from one crucial factor.
As this Venom hasn't ever crossed paths with Spider-Man, he doesn't have that iconic white logo on his chest. Instead, there are some white veins which are arguably too subtle to make an impact. How and why Sony couldn't figure out a way to include something on the anti-hero's chest is still a mystery to us, but its absence spoils an otherwise solid design.
Hot Toys has today announced plans to release a new Venom figure; however, rather than being based on Venom: The Last Dance, it's inspired by the Marvel Comics.
If you're a collector, chances are you'll immediately notice that Hot Toys has re-used the movie figure's body and made a few changes which, when all is said and done, make this a near-perfect design...and one we'd love to see in the MCU!
After all, if this is how Venom were to look in Spider-Man 4, it's hard to imagine anyone complaining. The eyes, teeth, logo, and web-shooters add up to make this a version of Eddie Brock it would be spectacular to watch battle Tom Holland's Peter Parker on screen.
Here's the official description of the 1/6th scale collectable:
Venom is a striking anti-hero in Marvel Comics, known for his terrifying black symbiote that enhances his host, Eddie Brock. Born from an alien organism, Venom grants superhuman strength and agility, along with the ability to shape-shift. Initially a foe of Spider-Man, he embodies a complex mix of vengeance and protection, often blurring the lines between hero and villain. His menacing appearance, featuring a toothy grin and white spider emblem, makes him one of Marvel's most recognizable figures.
