I just went elsewhere. Not only was there there site issues, but because they moved servers, all my info was lost on my orders, and they wanted me to fix them all. Easier to just cancel and place my orders elsewhere. There was a dollar and some change difference, so it wasn't a huge deal.
Luckily other places were still having preorders.

I love it. I really like the look of the SM3 costume, and wish it was incorporated into the comics. Gives him some texture. That being said, I will probably coat it in some liquid latex and turn it into a Venom (2018) figure.

Not sure how mods would feel about posting pics of unlicensed/ko figures. Its an easy google search however.

If your posting it to share info, then there's no problems there.

Cool. Then with the blessings... this is what it looks like. It’s popping up everywhere in the usual places to find products of questionable IP integrity.

Before the thread gets derailed with the ko... Really love how MAFEX captured the original look of Venom... it really looks like a 3D version of ASM #300. makes me want a line of 1960’s Ditko Spidey figures... web armpits and all.
Would love vulture, doc ock, gobby, lizard, scorpion, etc with very simple lines and shading.

Really wish I didn’t sell my asm #300... would love to display it as a background for this figure....

The Venom figure that comes closest to his ASM300 look is the old Toybiz 14 inch rotocast figure from the early 90s.That one has the bulk that this one is lacking.

Bulk on the Mafex version looks pretty good to me.

Looks spot on to me. Venom had human bodybuilder proportions in the first appearances, before Erik Larson turned him into a freakshow.

Nah they needed to bulk out the traps,neck and torso a bit and the legs especially for it to be spot on with the McFarlane version. But close enough anyway tho...in that shot of him from the back he looks a little scrawny but that other shot where they recreated the McFarlane pose from those two issues when he came back looks pretty dam good! I wish one of the promotional images for this was with their upcoming Spidey figure, just to gauge how the two of them look together.

Hmm, that looks interesting

So, how does this guy scale with Mezco 1:12 spidey?

[Booster Gold]

I got mine today...I'm really quite pleased with him actually! Yes the (non magnetic)feet do slip off a little easy and he could do with a alternate 'extended tongue' head and maybe he could be a tiny bit bigger... but everything else is spot on. He's bulky and muscular, poses great really the styling really evokes the Venom from the pages of the Spider-man I read as a kid (80s/90s McFarlane etc), not the more OTT versions we've seen since. I love the way his webs wrap messily around his arms, very cool. It's overpriced for what it is, there is no getting away from that, but it's a fantastic figure and really compliments the Mafex Comic Ver. Spider-man I already have.

Anyway here's my quick photos of this awesome figure.
