As is becoming the trend with Hasbro Marvel Legends 6″ figures in 2016, the last figure that we hadn’t seen yet (and which Hasbro still hasn’t officially announced at all) is the Build-A-Figure of the Marvel Legends Spider-Man 2016 Wave 2 set: Space Knight Venom. We’ve seen photos of the broken-up pieces of Space Venom before in packaged photos, but today photos cropped up online for the very first time showing us the completed Marvel Legends Space Venom Build-A-Figure, along with size and scale comparison photos to the rest of the wave!
And it turns out that Hasbro was correct! Although Space Knight Venom has never appeared in a Spider-Man comic book in this form, he makes a huge and imposing Build-A-Figure that I’m definitely excited about building (far more so than the Absorbing Man Build-A-Figure that came out with this year’s first wave of Spider-Man Legends).
From the scale photos taken by Hong Kong collector Alex Chan, we can see that the Marvel Legends Venom Build-A-Figure stands a little more than a head above a standard 6″ figure, so he’s probably between 7.5″ and 8″ tall.
Space Venom looks especially enormous when compared directly with the teenage Ultimate Spider-Man and Miles Morales Legends figures, though!
The Space Knight Venom action figure features a ton of new tooling, and I love that the Spider-symbol on the front of the figure’s torso is sculpted instead of just being painted on. Even so, I think this mold could be retooled quite easily to make a great Marvel Legends Ulik Build-A-Figure soon enough…
Unlike some series where one of the figures it’s not necessary to purchase every figure in the set in order to obtain all the pieces for the Build-A-Figure, collectors will need to buy all six figures in Spider-Man Legends 2016 Wave 2 to get all of the Space Venom BAF parts.
The six main figures in this series are, of course:
- Ultimate Spider-Man Peter Parker (new teenage boy buck)
- Miles Morales Spider-Man (new teenage boy buck)
- Modern Electro (with interchangeable classic Electro head)
- Classic Hobgoblin (with interchangeable tongue-out head)
- Ashley Barton Spider-Woman (AKA Spider-B*7C#)
- Silk (with interchangeable unmasked head)
Now that you’ve seen the Space Knight Venom Build-A-Figure in all his glory, what are your thoughts, Marvel collectors? Will you be buying every figure in this wave to build the biggest Marvel Legends Venom figure yet, or are you not digging the current Marvel comics look for Spidey’s most popular anti-villain?

What the hell happened to detail? Marvel Hasbro figs suck! Just look at that plain flat paint job, compare to the old figs. Just look at the new Deadpool and Cable guns! Pathetic!
actually i feel like almost all these figures are a step up from most figures just look at silk these all have intricate cleanly applied webbing and the only one with minimal paint is due to the character design and even then hobgoblin still comes with a glider interchangeable head and pumpkin bomb and the paint on the BAF is wonderfully done i don’t think marvel hasbro figures suck at all deadpan and cable both have incredible sculpt and paint and a huge amount of accessories how is that pathetic deadpan comes with a box-ooka and a taco a taco!
Yeah, these figures are pretty good. The “alternate head” thing didn’t used to be normal for Hasbro. My only complaint is that Space Venom himself looks boring. But, if I could afford to, I’d buy the entire line.
Whereas the old ToyBiz figures were inspired by McFarlane Toys, both in paint and in sculpt (gritty paint and lots of detail), modern Marvel Legends seem to be influenced by DCUC figures, with minmal paint apps and a clean, uniform look.
I agree 100 %
Looks awesome.
I’m a Silk fan, so I’ll keep my eye out for her. However… she is incredibly tall compared to Spider Man… is that a teenaged Peter Parker? On the early covers for Silk, she was rendered as the tall knockout that the action figure is based off, but inside the comic, she’s short (as in 4’8″ to 5’2″ short), though not a teen-ager (she’s age 25-29, considering she lived inside an underground cell for a decade from her late teens).
Yup! That’s Peter Parker of the Ultimate universe with a new body sculpt, who spent the entire run as a teenager. Which is why he shares a body sculpt with Miles Morales.
We got an adult Peter a couple of waves ago, the infamous “Pizza Spider-Man”, which might have been the best classic Spidey figure you could buy for under 50 bucks- although with the minor improvements this one brings to the table, we’ll have to see how he holds up.
It is teenage Peter, with a new male sculpt.
My concern was using the teenage body for Silk since she IS an adult, but it might be the wasp build? It’s hard for me to tell.b
both the spider-man are based on the Ultimate Spiderman comic which is a teenagers
I was thinking the same thing, I was trying to see of they used to female teenage body mold on her or is it the moonstone one, because she does look pretty tall compared to him.
This is my least favorite wave in a while. Personally, I am tired of all of the Spider whatever variants. Honestly, I would have preferred a Symbiote Spiderman over any of these. Hobgoblin is the only one that I am interested in and we just got a version of him. This wave would be so much better with a vulture, Doc Ock, Sandman, or Green Goblin.
That’s a different Hobgoblin. The BAF is Phil Urich. He was the heroic version of Green Goblin in the 90s.
Black Spider-Man would have been awesome! Which is why we aren’t getting one. Like Enchantress,
I agree with Dabid. It can be retooled into a nice Ulik figure (would just need two toed feet), and closed fists, preferably with his sihnature pounders. He’d be too big for his listed height, bit so we’re the Absorbing Man and the Rhino, so I guess I’ve accepted Hasbro will forsake accuracy in favor of the fans who mistakenly think bigger is better, and that the B.A.F. has to be large.
im surprised that they didn’t at least have a flash Thompson figure or at least an unmasked head
I love the BAF, Venom looks accurate and awesome. My only big complaint is the young Spidey from the Ultimate Universe. We really don’t need more classic red and blue spider figures. Like come on, they could’ve done symbiotic spidey, all-new all-different, there are so many other better possibilities! Every other figure is quite satisfying, we were in need of Miles and Silk. But if there was another figure instead of Ultimate Peter Parker Spidey, this would’ve been an excellent wave.
I like him, but I wish he had a more Venom-y head. In the comic, he develops the classic Venom eyes and mouth when he gets mad, just like classic Agent Venom, and I feel that would’ve been cool to see as an alternate head
I know that this version of Venom isn’t popular but if you ask me its a million times better than Mac Gargan Venom.
Personally; I love Marvel Legends. But I think it would be so cool to get a Marvel Zombies wave…. That would be so Original and different from the General Waves, that I would buy all figures for sure. Any Luck on that?
I’m honestly not a fan of this wave.
Make scorpion, tombstone. Something else other than just spider man and captain america waves. Namor got his rights back to marvel, make a wave out of him (pun intended ). Make a hulk wave. Give moon knight a new figure. Something. Too many damn characters to keep redistributing the same ones over and over. I don’t mind the alternate costumes but enough with the same characters over again.
