wow it is still hard for me to believe glenn is gone he was so awesome had a great sense of humor and unlike some reviewers and many youtubers he seemed to actually enjoy making videos not just for veiws and money

[@siryonkers]

I remember seeing Venom for the first time, walking by the Legends. They had the whole wave behind him. I got him immediately. Got home, and went back an hour later to buy the whole wave. Came here to relive some old memories of watching reviews. Glenn and Shartimus were my go-to's for anything Legends-related. Thanks to KZbin, Glenn will live on forever.

R.I.P toy review legend.

[@wewillalleatglass]

When you lined up all the Hyperion body mold mates i got an idea for action figure evolution, you could do a pseudo episode with like all the marvel legends that share a certain body mold showing what Hasbro can do to change the same scup even if its slight. i know AFE isn't easy but its just an idea. great review as always and i hope all the new legends videos can be long like this one.

[@SoftEndy]

YES

[@GlennWebbVideos]

+wewillalleatglass Sounds like an interesting idea. I'll think it over

[@wewillalleatglass]

Glenn Webb I know you said in response to a comment in a video that AFEs are not easy to put together so don't feel compelled to do it. thanks for deciding to mill it over though.

[@KetchupBlogs]

Honestly, I fucking love the McFarlane head. That grin is amazing and it's rare we see that style in toy form much. When is this wave suppose to hit stores in the US?

[@GlennWebbVideos]

+KetchupBlogs Anytime now I believe

[@MChedderbeef]

KetchupBlogs I love it too.

[@spider-keithasmr38]

Glenn Webb RIP GLENN. WE MISS YOU!

[@RickyRat256]

M. Chedderbeef rip Glenn

[@eazybe1]

Awesome review. You really put considerable time and effort into your reviews. Well done :)

[@angiedelrio3307]

RIP love you glenn thanks for the years of entertaining us fans

[@D21BeastReviews]

Magnificent. I too am one of those weirdos looking more forward to the tongueless head. Can't wait for my figure to come in!

[@romel9129]

Rob Pollock I like the tongueless head more too! And I thought I was the only one. The tongueless one reminds me of the old comic book version of Venom

[@kevinbacon5492]

I like it more because it’s been shown Venom’s mouth isn’t Eddie’s actually mouth. So why would it have a tongue? I mean unless Eddie has a 3 foot second, that’s pretty unrealistic. But than again we’re talking about a comic where a guy gets bit by a radioactive spider, doesn’t get radiation powers, but rather spider based powers, than goes to a planet that’s made up of other planets, gets a suit that’s alive that’s secretly a alien, than the alien like a angry ex girlfriend gets a new “host” that happens to be super buff. Than she gets her new host girlfriend to beat up her old host.

[@RickyRat256]

Kevin Bacon lol

[@PunchCounterpunch_Lizzy]

Rob Pollock yeah, I like it as well because it looks like McFarland’s venom

[@beezer387]

Awesome glen thanks for sharing. This wave looks great! Thanks Craig for letting glen borrow your figures!

[@Fourexponent]

Bro I miss him 😭 he’s the one who got me into marvel legends

[@CaptainMcKayRandom]

That moment of silence in the end, followed by "I just did." Excellent. I like this figure. I never did get the Select one, which I regret, so this will likely be a must-get for me so I don't miss out. I prefer the non-tongue head as well, I liked Venom's more streamlined look before the tongue and bulk got WAY out of control. This figure is one I'll definitely grab!

[@TheGamefan1000]

OOOH. Are we gonna SURF THE WEB?!

[@skabcat242]

I still like the marvel select venom, but this one is worth picking up.

[@chanedw]

Still the best reviewer... miss your video.

[@WebVManReturns]

Wait. Venom was played by the main character from That 70's Show? MIND BLOWN.

[@lorddiosliving]

yes

[@dylanbryant6691]

Rip Glenn webb

[@brycebitetti1402]

I wonder how Glenn would've recieved the newer figures we've gotten from Hasbro. He left us right as they started to hit their stride, and I wish he'd been able to pitch in his thoughts on Hasbro's golden era with the line, as well as their more recent fumbles and controversy.

[@rektangular]

Excellent review! Nice to hear you mention A.C.B.A. or Articulated Comic Book Art.

[@deadpooltoys1268]

Great review Glenn!, I can't wait till this figure finally hits stores around me

[@PigeonBoiorsomethinglikethat]

This is the video that got me into his channel. R.I.P

[@reedyleek7315]

I'm so excited for this series of reviews!

[@serghini11]

I am excited about this figure of Venom. I've mostly just have owned a lot of bad Venom figures and recently I've begun to collect Marvel Legends so this would be a nice figure to own.

[@adamcooke3929]

I would absolutely love to see a ML wave focused on the Maximum Carnage story. We could see a Doppleganger-Spidey, Shriek, Demogoblin, Carrion, Deathlok, Firestar, Cloak or Dagger. Instead of a BAF they could include assorted heads and weapons which connect to 2015's ML Carnage. Or maybe a BAF of Aunt May or Mary Jane. That would be sooooo cool.

[@GlennWebbVideos]

+adam cooke Oh lots to tickle my fancy. If they got released I would be all over those

[@DaikaijuDiscussions]

7:01 what I want to do to Minecraft, fnaf, undertale, minion, spiderman and Elsa, and MLP KZbinrs!

[@raymond7313]

Glenn, you know you're one of the best, Right??? I kinda agree with you, having it in hand makes it somewhat more bearable to look at. I don't own it, yet but, I guess I'm trusting your judgement. I'm a NORMAL Hasbro hating guy. Hate-hate-hate the cartoony look because it makes the figures look cheap and not so appealing. I hope I can appreciate it like you do. thank you, brother. Stay Righteous...

[@ninjanicktf9768]

I think he looks perfect with the claw hands and the protruding tounge head.

[@josephwinborne3620]

I really want to see a Sam Kieth head scuplt version of this. The classic "piano key" grin has always been my idea of a true venom. Just really makes it alien. Good review.

[@PixelPhantom85]

I can't wait to see Spider-Gwen. I'm sold on at least all the Spider characters of this line and the last. Thanks Glenn.

[@mannsscharf3236]

Yes!!!! I've been waiting for this review!

[@ShadowACE1998]

I really like this figure and can't wait to get my hands on one. I started reading Spider-Man during the Mcfarlane era so the look is nostalgic for me.

[@Da_ComputerMonster]

"IWANNAEATYOURBRAINS."-The best voice acting for a Venom action figure. I cant wait to see more! Its a new year with NEW THINGS! (Question, will you be reviewing Speed Demon and Beetle together in one? Since they are on the same team.)

[@xretroman]

very cool, just found one at my local toys r us and did a little review myself. I'll try to pick up the marvel select version but until I do I'm very happy with this version

[@mv0gel]

I love the scale between this venom and the carnage. Very accurate.

[@Prestocorn]

Great review! This Venom figure, in my opinion, just does not even compare to the Select one. I already have Select's Venom and it is, as you would say, a bang for your buck! Once again, great review, Glenn!!! :)

[@SymbiSpidey]

I'm really torn between this Venom and the Marvel Select one. The Marvel Select one probably has a superior sculpt but the thing I appreciate about this Venom is its simplicity which makes it pair very nicely with the recent Spider-Man and Carnage figures. It also better fits the scale of Legends, obviously. I'm torn. I do believe that these two are the best Venoms on the market, however.

[@CeroneGamesGo]

Great Review Glenn. Although im still impressed with Marvel Select Venom. Its just perfect man.

[@venombane7411]

I have this figure in my sights since they announced Venom would be in the new Marvel Legends. Definitely going to get this venom

[@hadvarr8578]

I love the new wave which one would be your favorite of that wave Glenn

[@iceyaloe416]

YES!!!?! I've been waiting for this review

[@solidzdar467]

I'm glad this came out cause it always preferred the sleeker venom over the ones where he has symbiote gooped all over him like the spiderman classics one with the tongue but I didn't want to spend a arm and a leg for the original saber tooth reskin

[@ultramaximusreviews]

I so prefer the 2nd head sculpt.... but the 1st one is beginning to grow on me as I remember the original comics with him...

[@michaelmulligan8527]

I'm really excited for this guy. Is it perfect? Nah. Could it be with a little paint job and elbow grease? Maybe. Either way, i'm pumped.

[@prophet924]

Did the Agent Venom tendrils look better in this Venom? I'm very excited to get this wave eventually. Speed Demon has captured the most anticipated spot for me. Though I love them all. It's funny Hammerhead and Silvermane are so far out of pocket that they only warrant an appearance as heads thus far in Legends.

[@noelrodriguez6625]

YES!! BEEN WAITING FOR THIS REVIEW

[@christianphilippe8979]

The version I got is awesome, but the left hands don't hold in place, just a little pressure and it falls off. Other than that, It's a nice figure.

[@bubbaduck8953]

+Glenn Webb, if you ever plan in doing a Q&A in the future, I've got a question, since you are an 80s baby (which I think you are) are you into 80s Metal?

[@soundwave1a]

Love your reviews Glenn. Honestly I think they should have used the Bulldozer figure as a base. Also this style figure for all the characters seem to have a protruding chest and long neck?? Sorry

[@gravejames7221]

people act like these figures have to be so general and please everyone, but they arent for that. collectors collect different styles for different reasons, i didnt buy this venom because it looks real or looks like marvel select. i got it because it looks more classic and comic bookish and looks like a cartoon almost and its simple.

[@jacobchanza5484]

Wow,i had no idea one of the actors from That 70's show played Venom!

[@jacobchanza5484]

Eric you dumass

[@SpideyFan2002]

I am actually one of those people who loves Topher Grace’s Venom & see him as the best Venom incarnation.

[@geezburgers]

I really want this figure and Pizza Spidey. My local Walmart had one Pizza Spidey and no more. They still have the TASM2 figures, which I own.

[@spoodurmin9742]

Do you live in Montreal? Cus I bought the last Spidey from my Walmart.

[@MrBigB]

Peter Parké no i did

[@bobbyjensen264]

Hey Glenn, will you do a comparison video with the sinister six one?

[@Lulu.mp4]

I have a Marvel Select Venom but I also want to get this one so I can have two Venom action figures. Also, because it looks like a great figure.

[@gagecrawley6223]

I think we need both reissues of Venom, Carnage, Anti-Venom, and lastly, the Patrick Mulligan version of Toxin. All figures with interchangeable heads and accessories. We also need the Life Foundation Symbiotes.

[@muisverriet]

Gage Crawley Maybe a boxset with all the symbiotes.

[@AlFigures]

as always, excellent review!

[@jsdrummer91]

I LOVE THIS McFarlane style holy shit! Cannot wait to get this! Love your reviews, as always, +Glenn Webb

[@goliathandwasp]

Always a great review thanks Glenn

[@Justmenesto2]

Looks pretty good.

[@darell8310]

So exciting!

[@dustythedustcat]

Hey, can I ask you a question? *not counting this one*Say you got the Infinity Gauntlet, along with all the Infinity Stones, what is the first thing you do?

[@Kaz_7567]

A pretty good figure. But when i look at him, i see more possibilities for a costum Senator Armstrong figure from metal gear rising.

[@Clockwork28]

Definitely getting thank you Glenn

[@TheDanpics]

How does the plastic feel on this guy? A lot of legends lately, like Blizzard and Batroc, have been made from super cheap feeling, hollow plastic or that terrible thin rubbery plastic.

[@rjbart4199]

Glen PEED himself! Excellent, all is going according to plan. MUAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

[@ProtoArrow]

Great review Glenn

[@thebloodedgecrew65]

I may get this, I prefer the tongue head but as you said the bright green is eh... I know a lot of fans hate the show but i hope one day they make a articulated Ultimate spiderman, the tv show suit tho i love that show haha

[@skyfirebrad7616]

Hey, Glen have you tried using the symbiotic tendrils from agent venom to plug into this one ?

[@brucenbrooklyn]

It would be cool if they made a black suit spider-man and a future foundation Spider-Man. If so then my spider man collection would be complete

[@spawn138]

i love the Select better that one is amazing

[@davidbaker8445]

reveiw the ben Reilly spiderman next please

[@davidbaker8445]

***** do the parts interchange easily

[@RickyRat256]

David Baker dafuq is cap sunshine

[@SageForsaken]

have you ever added articulation to a spiderman. it seems in the comics he is often really hunched forward looking down to see a crime from on high before swinging into action it seems adding another abb crunch and altering the legs / hips would be needed to get some of the posses where his head is basicly knee level. I think characters like beast wildchild and wolverine may also need this.

[@GlennWebbVideos]

+Sage Forsaken I haven't as for me the articulation is enough but I know other people have done so

[@SageForsaken]

+Glenn Webb Thanks for the quick response. As always pour on the power!

[@lorddiosliving]

+Glenn Webb hello good review

[@SageForsaken]

Glenn Has passed away. his videos will remain up and his family will get the money from them. he has years of action fifure reviews some great custonizing videos and some fun unboxing videos so pleaae enjoy them. But know he isnt ignoring your comments. if you want to hear some funny podcast listen to his articulation assembled pod cast were he talked about recent movies figures and more

[@Imlogini]

Your outro was hilarious.

[@ryanf3284]

Awesome ! Can't wait to get my symbiotic fingers on this venom !

[@oggibs4726]

I feel you

[@JULIDINHO]

I know good thing there is going to be one every year or every wave/baf

[@Frozzy66]

I prefer the open mouth head better since to me that better fits what I imagine Venom go be like rather than that odd looking smiling head.

[@thejordyoshi]

Would the tendrils from the Agent Venom figure fit this Venom? I ask this because they seems more fit for the muscular Eddie Brock than the repainted Carnage tendrils.

[@GlennWebbVideos]

+Josh Yord Hmm I'll check and tack it on to the end of my next review

[@cyberneticghost47]

awesome I just got my case today.

[@Jack_Klash]

I like the figure, it's the best Legends Venom, but I do prefer the Select Venom... I wish there was no green slobber on Venom because it looks a bitch cheap and he doesn't always have it.. And the smiley head looks good but I like the way the Select did it more.. This one has sharp teeth that have space between them, the Select one has has square teeth that have no space between them and it looks very menacing.. Still a cool figure, I hope I can find it :)...

[@TheBronySpidermanFan]

Glenn you should do a pizza spiderman custom with the black suit painted on it

[@TheBronySpidermanFan]

+The Framemaster(Ben_ToaofFire) Well let's hope If not Glenn Consider it

[@haseo8162]

when is this suppose to hit shelves of local toy stores? I've waited patiently now and still no one has these like wtf.

[@minecraftislifehaieveryone9130]

I usually hunch venom over a bit so he is not standing in attention to spider man while he trys to kill him

[@KafeiAle]

i get the advantages of reusing molds but i miss the sculpted details

[@alexgiordano5915]

I have a question for The new marvel legends ''Absorbing man'' infinite series , VENOM . The head of VENOM , can interchange for the head of ''Marvel legends Agent Venom '' ?? And put the VENOM head , in the body of Agent Venom??

[@GlennWebbVideos]

+Alex Giordano Hmm I'll check and tack it on to the end of my next review

[@alexgiordano5915]

+Glenn Webb , Thanks :) .. is very interessing for a dispaly wiht Agent Veno ''unleshed''

[@elromano2000]

the more I look this figure, the more I want it, it just feel like the cartoon jump out of the tv and it complement the pizza spidey

[@TheBronySpidermanFan]

Also Glenn This venom reuses the hands of saber tooth and the feet from anti venom

[@davidsalgado250]

no the venom tounge is not glued in you can just pull it out no problem and put it back in no problem

[@BeaverBoy]

check if the tendrils from agent venom fit in his back!

[@MrBigB]

Cape and Cowl Animations it does

[@gabe5499]

If I put the marvel select black suit spiderman head on this, would it work?

[@alexmesser2147]

Nice! So, between the two, the Select is the way to go?

[@SymbiSpidey]

+Alex Messer Depends on what you want. Marvel Select Venom is more realistic looking and Marvel Legends Venom has a more cartoony/comic-y look to it that blends in perfectly with the new Spider-Man. Can't go wrong with either, IMO.

[@alexmesser2147]

+SymbiSpidey Thanks! I may pick this one up, because he looks great, and has an Absorbing Man head. The one that I've decided I "Want" however, is the Select.

[@EviltheNub]

+Alex Messer I had the Select Venom, and at first I loved it. But after a while the flaws with the figure started to overshadow the positives. The sub-par articulation combined with the ugliness of the elbow and thigh swivel joints really limited what I could do with it. You couldn't get it into very many dynamic poses without it falling over due to no ankle rocker.

[@pearlescent_ftw]

I lost it at "I want to eat your brains!" xD

[@Itsnotanymore-ku7dz]

I love your Bobby Caldwell referencing profile.

[@aws08barbatos]

has this wave released? I preodered him last month and I was told I was getting mine at the end of the month/ February

[@BeaverBoy]

I cant find him, I'm just using my tigershark figure as a base body so i can make one.

[@SpiderusPrime]

"WE ARE VENOM!"

[@CrimsonMoonM]

I don't like the head because it looks like a lightbulb when viewed from the front.

[@drilariodalmas5002]

Glenn please do a spiderman and deadpool action figure evolution 🙂

[@GlennWebbVideos]

+Ilario Dal mas Please send me al the figures I would need to do that

[@jt6761]

Nice review!

[@wwkenkanekiww1027]

R.I.P Glenn we will miss you

[@trevrr]

I went to the store today to pick this up and there weren't any of these darn

[@HarlequinLiger]

The only ML I want is Spider-Gwen. I hope she's not short-packed. I like the classic Venom (as a character), but honestly, I don't like this toy very much. The idea of it is great, especially with the interchangeble heads, but I can't stand how long his neck is. I also wish the shoulders were broader, and it would look cooler with claws (like the ones on the Toxin figure). I don't think I'll be getting it. Thanks for the review!

[@GlennWebbVideos]

+HarlequinLiger Everybody is one per case except Ben Reilly Spider-Man who is two per case. I imagine demand for Spider-Gwen will be higher then for a few of those others though. But good luck

[@HarlequinLiger]

Ugh, yeah, I figured so. I'll be prepared to pay an arm and leg for her, unless I'm lucky enough to see her on retail for a reasonable price (which is rarely the case). Thanks.

[@GlennWebbVideos]

HarlequinLiger Depends how urgently you want her. I remember movie Black Widow and Scarlet Witch being snapped up super fast but eventually supply seemed to meet demand
