REVIEW: Venom Marvel Legends Poison Spider-Man Figure

Posted on by September 4, 2018
Poison Peter Parker Marvel Legends Six Inch Figure

When I asked readers on social media what recently-released Hasbro Marvel Legends figures I should prioritize reviewing first, I was pretty stunned to see a multitude of votes for the Venom Legends Poison figure. Having never read even one panel with the character before, I rushed to buy the Venomverse TPB so I wouldn’t be writing blind. Now that I’m thoroughly acquainted with both the character and the Marvel Legends Poison figure that’s now available, what’s the verdict? Read on…

Marvel Legends Venomized Punisher Venom Exclusive Figure!

Marvel Unlimited Plus 2019 Marvel Legends Venomized Punisher Figure

Sharp-eyed readers noticed that earlier today I mentioned Hasbro had unveiled five new Marvel Legends figures today, even though only four new ML debuted at Canada Fan Expo 2018. The fifth one sort of flew under the radar, because it was quietly and unceremoniously announced via the Marvel Unlimited Plus website. That’s right, the MU Exclusive figure for 2019 has now been revealed, and I suspect its one no one on Earth guessed: Marvel Legends Venomized Punisher!

Marvel Legends 2019 Fan Expo Canada Figure Reveals

Hasbro is really spreading the love this year as far as Marvel Legends 2019 figure reveals at summer conventions go! Following a boatload of announcements at SDCC 2018 and the Unboxing Toy Convention in Mexico, Hasbro had another quartet of announcements up their sleeve for the Canada Fan Expo 2018: Marvel Legends Mystique, Weapon X, Guardian and a Wendigo Build-A-Figure!

Venom Marvel Legends Spider-Ham Figure Review

Marvel Legends Venom Series Spider-Ham Review

When I cracked open three cases of new Marvel Legends waves all at once today, I was rather overwhelmed and unsure of where to start with reviews. Well… almost unsure where to start, anyway! Because the character whose inclusion puts the biggest smile on my face of any new ML figure this year is in this wave, and there was no way I could pass up doing his review first. Kicking off my Venom Legends reviews is a figure I never thought would be done: Marvel Legends Spider-Ham is now available!

REVIEW: Marvel Legends Teen Groot Thor Rocket 3-Pack

Review Marvel Legends Infinity War 3-Pack Groot Rocket Raccoon Thor

Toys R Us’s quick and catastrophic collapse earlier this year through the entire toy industry for a loop, and also left a slew of Toys R Us exclusives stuck in distribution limbo. One such exclusive is the subject of today’s review: a three-pack that managed to hit TRU stores in some regions, but left others (like mine) barren. But online retailers have come to the rescue, bringing us once-lost exclusives such as this Marvel Legends Infinity War Groot, Thor and Rocket Raccoon set I got from Entertainment Earth…

REVIEW: X-Men Marvel Legends Psylocke Figure Apocalypse Series

2018 Marvel Legends X-Men Psylocke Figure Review

It’s a real testament to the strength of the 2018 X-Men Legends series that a new 6” Psylocke figure can be mass-released for the first time EVER by Hasbro, and rather than being the headliner of the wave, she’s just one of several most-wanted figures from the Apocalypse Series. After being absent from retail lineups for a decade (since her Toybiz figure), a new Marvel Legends Psylocke Figure is finally available! Is this the definitive Jim Lee Betsy Braddock?

REVIEW: X-Men Marvel Legends Wolverine Tiger Stripe Figure

Close-Up of 90s X-Men Wolverine Legends Figure

Continuing along in my week of reviews completing the 2018 Marvel Legends X-Men Apocalypse series, we come to the fifth 6” Wolverine figure that Hasbro has released in the last two years. While some people might be burning out on ol’ Logan just a hair at this point, I imagine this latest version is one that very few X-Men fans will be able to pass up: the 2018 Tiger Stripe Wolverine X-Men Legends figure is now available! Is this the definitive version of this costumed Wolverine that fans have been waiting for?

REVIEW: Marvel Legends Gladiator X-Men Apocalypse Series

We’re in the middle of another Marvel toy news drought, which makes this weekend the ideal time to knock out the final entries in my series of 2018 X-Men Marvel Legends Apocalypse Series reviews. And at this point, it’s time to talk about the figure that seemed like the inevitable shelf-warmer from the moment it was released. X-Men Legends Gladiator seemed destined to be a slow-selling repaint—is there more to him than meets the eye?

Marvel Legends Multiple Man Review X-Men Apocalypse Series

Review Marvel Legends Madrox Multiple Man Six Inch Figure

While the building of the 1990s X-Men roster has been pretty blatant throughout the first three series of X-Men Legends, what many fans may not have noticed is that, slowly but surely, we’ve been getting one character from Peter David’s X-Factor per wave as well. With Havok and Polaris out of the way, I think Hasbro made the right choice for the Apocalypse Series entry. Full cases of Madrox are on the way for army-building ease: is the Marvel Legends Multiple Man worth army-building?

2018 Marvel Legends X-Men Magneto Action Figure Review

It’s a quiet day on the news front, which makes it the perfect time to dip back into my big bag of unreviewed action figures. So today, I’m continuing onward with a look at another figure in the X-Men Marvel Legends Apocalypse Series. The X-Men Marvel Legends Magneto figure was one of the most-anticipated figures when he was first announced, but does he live up to expectations now that he’s been released and is available for ordering? Here’s my ML Magneto review…

REVIEW: X-Men Marvel Legends Sabertooth Figure! Apocalypse Series

2018 Marvel Legends Sabertooth Hasbro 6" Figure Choking Wolverine

While we’ve gotten a plethora of 6” Marvel Legends Wolverine Figures over the years, fans who’ve started collecting Marvel Legends figures over the last decade may be surprised that there hasn’t been an iconic version of Sabertooth released in all that time. In fact, it’s been 15 years since the Jim Lee Sabertooth had a new action figure released! But those waiting for an upgrade to the old Toybiz Sabertooth need not wait any longer—the X-Men Marvel Legends Sabertooth figure is now available!

2019 Marvel Legends Figures Kree Sentry Living Laser Night Hawk

I had a little bit of an ulterior motive for talking about the 2019 Marvel Legends Hercules & Genis Captain Marvel Figures this morning. And that motive was: I didn’t want to be too far behind when Hasbro revealed more new Marvel Legends 2019 Figures tonight! Because for the first time ever, Hasbro unveiled upcoming Marvel Legends figures at the Unboxing Toy Convention in Mexico: 6” Living Laser, Nighthawk and the Kree Sentry Build-A-Figure!

2019 Marvel Legends Captain Marvel Genis & Hercules Figures!

Marvel Legends 2019 Hercules and Genis Captain Marvel Figures

Before closing the book on SDCC 2018 Marvel Legends coverage, there’s two more new figures that I need to talk about that didn’t logically fit with any of the other waves that have been discussed. Neither is a character that hasn’t been covered before by ML in some form, but I think fans will be in agreement that these are better renditions of these characters. Coming our way in the Avengers & Captain Marvel Marvel Legends waves next year: Hercules & Genis-Vell!

Marvel Legends Storm Review (X-Men Apocalypse Series 2018)

Demand is high and supply at retail still isn’t plentiful, but the X-Men Marvel Legends Apocalypse Series is slowly but surely starting to permeate retail stores. I reviewed the Apocalypse Build-A-Figure last month before I got sidetracked with SDCC 2018, but now it’s back to business and time to play catch-up. And what better place to start than with one of the X-Men’s two most legendary leaders: the Mistress of the Elements herself—X-Men Marvel Legends Storm!
