I was full on thinking this would be a joke. I have a KO Carnage with those problems but thought it was cuz it’s a KO. Thanks for taking one for the team. 😂🤙🏽

[@Sarges_Toybox]

Best way I ever heard someone describe Amazing Yamaguchi is that they aren’t figures so much as they are puzzles…once you figure out how to work with it, you can do some awesome poses, but once you have it you gotta leave it…it’s not something to actually play with. I enjoy mine but it does have its downfalls. I display all my Revoltechs with the stands never without. 🤙🏻

"Falling To Pieces" by Faith No More was playing on my stereo in the background as I watched this... Not intentionally, either, I have to say. Sorry, Dave. It happens to us all, brother! Speaking of looking to the future though: Did ya preorder the Giant Man/Janet Van Dyne two pack?

[@updatedude]

This Venom looks horrible in person with all the massive gaps, which apologists will ignore. I mean, sure, it looks great in photos provided you take the shot from certain angles but in-hand, it never doesn't look like crud, because our human anatomy/peripheral vision prevents us from avoiding the bad bits.

[@owene2530]

It's just not for everyone. I think liking this figure doesn't really make you an apologist, just because it doesn't suit what you like doesn't mean nobody else on the planet will like it

[@powerturtlebusters]

Exactly. I hate that ball joint thing and I hate the revotect tmnt

[@updatedude]

@@owene2530 First off, I respect your opinion and I agree with it to an extent. Second, I'm not trying to be argumentative. Here's my counterpoint. Of course, there will be people who'll like the figure. And it's not as if it doesn't have some redeeming qualities. It looks great in photography from certain angles. But while toys are a subjective thing, this figure, is as near as objectively bad as can be, for a subjective subject matter. Let me clarify/expand. Let's take G1 Transformers toys. Many of the old toys were "bricks" that didn't even resemble the show characters, yet, thousands, if not millions of people still love them. And there's nothing wrong with that. But it doesn't change the fact that they're bad by modern standards. With some being bad even by their era's standards. Objectively, they're bad. But subjectively, they're loved. This Venom is objectively baaaaad. It has some good points. But it falls apart, a bunch of the joints are weak in that they can't hold their respective body part up, it is gappy as all heck when posed, and while I admire the gutsiness of such an experimental pec-joint, it breaks up the spider emblem. All that said, you do you. Love what you love.

[@ethanringe4213]

I can't speak for the venom, but the knockoff carnage is actually amazing. It's only one of two knockoffs I own and it's one of my favorite figures!

[@tylerrichlen3286]

I have the old Captain America and Magneto ones and I can confirm, trying to pose them out is just a mess. They fall apart as well. Not as easily as that venom, but I was pretty sure they were bootleg until I found out they weren't. Just bad designs and bad quality control. It's a shame too because I love how chonky they are.

[@Left_Eye_Lazy]

That’s crazy, your anger was justifiable! I’d be furious about buying that mess at cover

[@Squidgamemenace27]

My yamaguchi Spider-Man does the same thing lol. Don’t mind it that much but it is a bit annoying when handling it and it just separates in half

[@philipcozzolino8750]

The optimistic joyful happiness at the beginning 😂😂

[@jamesdanielski7347]

From experience, that loose torso is going to create a problem with the painted white spider on the chest. The ab portion scrapped part of mine off, just because he was too top heavy and the waist flops all over the place. He needs a much more solid core in terms of engineering.

[@davidpayan1328]

Thanks Dave for warning the collector community 👍 YOU have saved many with the frustration of making the same mistake. Thank you again!

[@Monkey_Boy9602]

I thought the C-N-C Anti-Monitor was cheaply made! (The waist piece was so flimsy that I broke it snapping in a leg and had the same part crumble to bits during the shipping of the second one!) I've never had a store bought figure fall apart like that, though. That's worse than a Dollar Store toy! I feel your pain, boyo.

[@lucianxeh4152]

My revoltech venom is awesome doesn't fall apart unless I use effort and pull it apart. But yes the head csp doesn't stay on well. I just use tac putty for it

[@ludotoyhunter8492]

That’s what I was thinking too. I have this exact figure and the waist on mine didn’t shake and wiggle like his did when he was moving it. Also the hip to leg joints on my figure doesn’t look like his. I think he bought a knockoff and the guy who sold it didn’t say anything about it. The only thing that was wrong with mine was that I found the shoulders to be too slidie and weird. That’s a suspect figure he has…

[@gordondere8907]

You might have a collector's item. That figure could be the initial pre-conception model they made and they just packaged it by mistake and you just happened to buy it. LOL

[@jeanlucacanomontiel4824]

Nah that's just how it is lol

[@billy08ss]

Yeah, anytime I think of those old Revoltech figures I quiver in fear. I had the AY Gambit and I had a very complicated relationship with it. On one hand it looked absolutely glorious once I posed it, but every pose took me about an hour cause every single par felt apart. It was the most frustrating experience!! Thank god Revoltech and Kaiyodo have evolved quite a lot since then.

[@ryantheanimator1156]

I have the legit one I bought way back in 2016 from BBTS and it never falls apart like that. Either you got a factory defect copy or it's an actual bootleg, as the bootleg one also falls apart like that.

[@manudfgadfgadfv8759]

if the OG is like this imagine the knock-off

[@johnowens8974]

This company probably won't fix the design or problems with this figure, they will just start calling it a model kit instead.

[@warrenrohr]

bro, I laughed so hard not at your pain just how excellent you captured it because I felt like exactly at least 4 times lol

[@Shadi092986]

Had the Revoltech Magneto. Alt heads and magnetic power effects aside, it will be the only Revoltech I will ever have. Those articulation joints are ridiculous compared to the main Marvel toylines like Legends and Select. The only Revoltech I'm hearing good things is Cable, especially with his MvC2 style outfit. And of course he costs an arm and a leg, pun intended.

[@ludotoyhunter8492]

The war machine and iron man figures are actually the dopest ones. They have awesome accessories and the poses they get in with the accessories is amazing. The Deadpool one is also great and so is the Wolverine. Outside of those 5 (cable being the fifth) you’d probably be better off buying mafex figures instead. I was upset that I got the gambit one only for the other mafex model to release months later and I was so disappointed that I didn’t just wait.

[@CollinandBri]

Deadpool 2.0, Psylocke, Spider-Gwen, Harley Quinn, and then the whole My Hero Academia line are great. As far as a cutoff point I’ve heard that everything before the Deadpool 2.0 are majorly hit or miss

[@AMercenary...Withaheart]

The Bleeding Edge Iron Man & the Carnage figures are considered great in my opinion. What's weird with Revoltech is that they all look so goofy & overexaggerated that they only look good in action poses, but I'd give Bleeding Edge Iron Man a pass and Carnage is really great, he looks overexaggerated but still looks good in standard calm "vanilla" poses...

[@Shadi092986]

@@ludotoyhunter8492 Thanks for bringing up the Iron Man and War Machine figures. That's the time the exaggerated articulation actually makes sense.

[@magiqman43]

I have the AY Cable and I love the way he looks. The sculpt is so dope. BUT I never pull him out to pose anymore because it just falls apart in my hands. Really disappointing. I have 10 AY figures. 7 out of the 10 have loose joints in some form with my Cable being the worst - he can’t hold anything past a regular vanilla pose. Flash, Superman and Bleeding Edge Iron Man all have tight joints and look incredible. All the rest have a leg that separates at the knee or a shoulder that is constantly coming out or a loose/fragile hip joint etc. In the end I really like AY figures and they do seem to be getting better with joint quality but it is still very frustrating to have these issues on figures that are supposed to be collectors items and demand premium prices. 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@spring-nv3fi]

I think you can probably use glue or tissues so the joints have a better connection but I don't know how to do it on a revoltech because I mostly buy 3rd party transformers and those can have lots of issues so yeah

[@elmuchacho3379]

Honestly, owning 3 revoltech, being black panther, arkham knight and flash, you can really tell that Arkham knight is an older figure. Small pieces keep falling off here and there, and the wrist pegs for some reason are at an angle. He looks good, but very frustrating to work with. BP and flash are much sturdier and can actually stay put together

[@rupturedguts7328]

I collect vintage and modern megos and I've learnt to repair/paint and customise them and all dc/marvel legends figures too. My point is,,if I came across this I'd pin/glue it to the joints,for me it's all part of the fun. But yeah,though I see it as a challenge shouldn't have to. When I saw the beginning with it on top of each other,I'd glue it like that paper mache or sculpting clay onto a base and let it set,repaint it and make it look liquefied venom.

[@Fuzzy_Barbarian]

I'm glad to finally see you go off on this figure, you've been complaining about it for months! I will say though... at least the pieces just come off and don't snap completely.

[@pilamonakaswivelman9984]

In simple terms revoltech venom is just….well hes poseable hes looks great in dynamic poses sure, but he is definitely NOT user friendly at ALL and as a guy who bought him I can confirm that, I still keep him around but hes a pain in the arse to handle

[@pilamonakaswivelman9984]

Suggest u dont let this figure ruin ur perspective on revotlech figures, just keep in mind that this is a really hold revoltech figures, one thing ive noticed is that they rarely used balljoints back then, fyi the joint that kept popping off on ur venom is NOT a ball joint its a hinge joint that pegs onto the torso and etc. which is the problem with these old revoltech figures, its hard to handle hinge joints the only part that has ball joints is prolly the leg up movement but the newer revotlech figures use alot of ball joints to match yo with how action figures are traditionally made now

[@pp_black74]

I bought their version of Deadpool (legit, not knock-off) and it was exactly the same. I made the decision never to buy one of their figures again.

[@Weremoogle]

I've had the same experience with a few figures myself. It's disappointing. Pose, reattach, and then don't touch.

[@venomsjunkmail]

For monster Venom I'm happy with the Marvel Legends Eddie version. If you want original comic Eddie go with the Mafex. Most of my Venoms are Marvel Legends and I like them just fine, but the Mafex is on another level. The Yamaguchi Venom is floppy and I just didn't care for the aesthetic after having it in hand. Though I kinda feel that for all the Yamaguchi figures. They have this weird pointy overly exaggerated look to them over their normal appearance.

[@joshuamiguelcruz9703]
