Symbiotes! MOAR Symbiotes! If you’re down with the Symbiote squad, you will be happy with this wave. Venom, Carnage and Poison are 3 heavy hitters and all three are on point here. Carnage stands out with lots of extensions, 2 sets of hands including a weapon hand, alt unmasked head. Venom is a clean standard venom with an alt head and extensions around the neck. Poison is the weakest of the bunch but he does have a crazy chest going on and he reps the comics well. Construction and paint are clean on all 3 aside from fig-to-fig variances and mess ups. Bottom line, these 3 paired with Scream and Monster Venom is a solid Symbiote starter pack worthy of attention.
This wave is flying off the shelves but some individual pieces are still available over at Dorkside Toys. Hit the links below to check all their Marvel Legends in stock.

Have some back logged Marvel Legends here, going up this week. First up, part of the Apocalypse wave - Apocalypse himself and Wolverine.
Marvel Legends Apocalypse and Wolverine Photo Shoot - The Toyark - News
Those Apocalypse pictures are awesome. I wish I could get my lighting to work like that. Not to mention whatever you used for the background building is incredible.
Lighting - that's years of trial and error with multiple units, and currently flashes. Can't easily explain that quickly.
The building - is actually the floor to Extreme Sets NELA Level 6 propped up.

I just put it far back so it blurred out. I was looking for something basic and neutral in color, saw that in my bin, and gave it a shot. It wound up working as a destroyed building way better than expected.
Venom Wave Part 1 - Scream, Typhoid Mary, Spider-Ham:

Might have to look into picking up a Typhoid Mary for an X-23 custom. The sculpt and outfit is pretty top notch.
Is that a new katana with Mary? Hope it shows up with a Deadpool figure in the very near future...
All awesome figures, and a really nice quickie photo shoot. I miss Tony's epic tour-de-forces, however, so hopefully he gets a bit more time on his hands soon.
BTW, the Pork-Grind head would fit on the original Marvel Legends Venom figure (from the Absorbing Man wave), correct? Considering picking up an extra Venom for when Spider-Ham comes in the mail and want to go the cheapest route.
Ha, I have 7 galleries done and 17 more figs here to do, so time is not in the cards any time soon
. I spent fancy pants time on the BAF from this wave though, up later this week.
scream looks like she's wearing boots.
Need to get that Typhoid Mary...
That's not Anti-Venom, it's a Poison (specifically the Spider-Man Poison). We got the actual Anti-Venom back in the Hobgoblin-BAF wave.
^^^I was going to say the same. Pretty sure the box said "Poision" on it too.
Head swap. Only want the outfit's sculpted details. So I guess you could say I'm using Typhoid Mary for her body, not her head. Change the legs, swap the heads, swap the hands, and it'd make a nice plain clothes X-23 custom.
I can attest to that. xD
It's an understandable mistake, Poison is a What If? original and a bit forgettable and obscure even among symbiote characters, while Anti-Venom up until a few months ago was appearing quite frequently.
They're a relatively recent modern marvel thing. "What If" hasn't existed in over a decade. Marvel Multiverse is now "What is". Since they've rewritten the origin of all symbiotes, poisons are going to play a bigger factor later.
Spider-ham looks so cool!

And even if they are bringing him back in recent Venom comics, Anti-Venom has been far more recognizable as having the inverted white and black colors for years, so it's an easy mistake to make.

Though "venomized heroes" might be more applicable. Wasn't directly Venomized Avengers though there were a bunch of them too. Really hope they do some of the other poison versions too. Deadpool Poison and Ghost Rider Poison, and many others were really freaking cool. And I'd love a GwenomPool too. She was an interesting breakout character from her ministory. Not really a fan of her Poison outfit though.
Most Poisons take the colors of their heroes non-venomized suit. In Spider-Man's case, he went more anti-venom colors because his spider suit wasn't so much a venomized version of his costume unlike the others. So instead it's inverted from the poison. Or potentially, based off of his future foundation suit.
