It has Todd MacFarlane  all over. The head is much better that the huge ML head.  ML has a thing for a while of putting huge heads on figures. You put the masked one side by side the unmasked and in no way they match. 

yeah i hate the big head syndrome they have on their figs. Alot of the figures have disproportionate body parts all the time. Tiny feet, big heads, etc. With the Venom, youd think that after it was first revealed at i think SDCC, they would hear what everyones saying and go crazy to change it.. instead they are just like welp nothing we can do, already went to press. Which is most likely why they cant change it but its weird to show it and then get so many negative remarks to it that they just are like well crap and not do anything to fix it before it goes out to mass market.

There is also the lollipop syndrome.  Thsoe head floating on the neck pegs. It suckes when it happens with nice figures.

This looks pretty good, but the price point to me is just too high.

Thats right! I forgot about that too. They just always like to give them long necks, mostly on that butt hyperion body mold.. awful.

Happens a lot to female figures too. Elsa Bloodstone is an example and I believe that the new Widow has the same issue.

While this figure is amazing, im not sure that I really need it. I have the Marvel Select one and the one from the Hasbro marvel Legends Absorbing Man wave. I'll probably skip this one.

This does look crispy. Almost makes me wanna delve into the mafex world. It’s just so hard when I’m so invested for years in the legends line and that scale  I honestly didn’t have a problem with the size of the Legends Venom’s Head. I think it looks fine. How is the current quality control on these mafex figures?  Because I have heard some gripes in the past.

Really excited for this one. Great representation of the mcfarlane venom. Only gripe mine is that he seems to be a bit thinner but overall its an awesome figure for me.

Toybiz venom still the best ever by a landslide! whats with this smooth, dull skin??

Even if Mafex doesnt give us the tongue, i think this would be a great figure, Mafex its getting better quality in their last releases

[abnuggler 26]

Usually Mafex fits in scale better with ML than other import figures Im intrested to see how this figure would scale in my ML Spidey Villians Collection (I still think the Marvel Select even being a little bit on the large side is hard to beat for venom) Im thinking itll be a little bit small but still looks 100 times better than the ML one

More based on his first appearance with McFarlane art style. He didnt get all tendrilly until later on. He had a sort of generic body with smooth musculature. And the mouth is exactly how McFarlane originally drew him.

With the exception of not having a good Brock head, the Marvel Select Venom is still the quintessential Venom figure for me. It has great detail, decent articulation, and captures the classic and modern depictions of Venom. It even has the Madness attachments. All for about $30.

I absolutely love that figure. I only have a few gripes with it. The articulation could be way better and its alittle oversized if used in with Marvel Legends.
