Venom Figurine By Kotobukiya


The new Venom 12" figurine from Kotobukiya is sick.
By day, this sculpt heaps on the ugly. I've never seen Venom looking so repulsive in such detail, and I mean that as a compliment. That face is truly nightmarish. The teeth are jagged and disgusting and the gums give way to exposed muscle fibers. That twisted grin gives it a palpable sense of menace. Kill the lights and switch on that illuminated base, and the added lights feel like they serve a purpose, not a gimmick. The way light hits the logo, the eyes, and the teeth make them all pop in dramatic fashion. A lot of thought went into the effect when the pose was designed.
It's priced at US$250, but place your order at bigbadtoystore.com and you can save $50.
