Marvel Legends Monster Venom Series Venom Action Figure

Scream’s hands are exactly what you’d expect-razor-sharp, elongated fingers flexed into deadly claws.

This character doesn’t need anything beyond what Hasbro has given us with her.īut while she’s light on accessories and sculpting detail, Scream has three other key features that really make her stand out: her hair, face and hands. Once again, though, I’m giving Hasbro a “pass”-I can’t think of a single character-specific accessory that I would ask for or that would add to my enjoyment of this toy. It’s hard to describe, but I definitely dig the visual appeal of the colors/paints of this action figure.Īlso like Poison, Venom Legends Scream comes with no accessories beyond a Monster Venom Build-A-Figure piece.

Just like the white sheen on Poison, the pearly yellow here has an extraterrestrial feel to it that pairs exquisitely with the brown paint deco. This is largely because of the pearlescent paint Hasbro picked for Scream. In this instance, I think that painting on the Symbiote gives a really cool visual effect-in fact, I think the smooth texture looks aesthetically better than a highly detailed one would. Marvel Legends Scream uses a standard female body without added sculpting detail, but I’m not going to complain. In the past, I’ve complained about Symbiote figures where a generic body mold is used with no Symbiote “texture” sculpted on. So when I saw the prototype of the Marvel Legends Venom Scream action figure premiere at New York Toy Fair 2018 in February, I snapped a few photos and promptly mostly forgot about her, focusing on more exciting things ( like Spider-Ham!) instead.īut once I got this figure in-hand last week, I felt pretty foolish-because Marvel Legends Scream is a figure that feels both fresh and fun amongst all the other symbiotes that have been released the past few years. I swear I’m no sexist, but the design for Scream just never really resonated with me. While the Life Foundation Symbiote Lasher ( who I reviewed a six inch figure of earlier this year) has always been a favorite of mine, I’ve never liked his “sister”, Scream.
