Toy News: MARVEL COMICS PRESENTS: THE KOTOBUKIYA COLLECTION VENOM LIGHT UP FINE ART STATUE



A KOTOBUKIYA Japanese import! In 1984’s Secret Wars storyline by Marvel Comics, Spider-Man’s original blue and red costume was damaged. He found a gooey black substance that flowed over the hero’s body, creating a black and white costume that seemed too good to be true. A few months later, it was revealed that the substance was actually an alien parasite! After Spider-Man rejected it the parasite joined with Eddie Brock to become the monstrous VENOM.

Kotobukiya is proud to present Venom as you’ve never seen him before. The first in a new lineup of Marvel Villains, the alien parasite is captured stalking his prey with wicked claws at the ready and his signature toothy grin splitting his face. Though Venom is static and calm on the surface, inside you know he’s up to no good. The black costume is visually striking with dark blue accents and set off by the white sections on Venom’s face, chest, back, and hands. Every inch of the villain’s hulking musculature is sculpted to perfection, as are the details of his horrific open mouth.

Venom is absolutely massive at 13 inches tall, dominating the Marvel Comics Kotobukiya Collection of Fine Art Statues. He stands atop a specially-designed circular base that lights up with interior LEDs, further enhancing the display options of this amazing villain. Sculpted by Junnosuke Abe, Venom is constructed of high-quality cold cast porcelain and is a limited, numbered edition.
