one of the only figures I have yet to see at retail myself.

Reaver Strike · 11-21-2011, 07:48 AM

I've seen the spiderman line restocked numerous times but no SS Venom. Rhino, Carnage, TB Venom and plenty of Hobgoblin.

Optimus Vader · 11-21-2011, 07:50 AM

I have one in my sales thread for $12 shipped. That's cost + shipping.

BigHanksCustoms · 11-21-2011, 08:09 AM

Yeah in my neck of the woods SS Venom is non existant, through a few restocks. No Shocker either.

I picked up a Lizard, but feel he may be a tad too tall. I may strip the good parts off him and make a slightly shorter custom for my shelf.

Rhinos and Doc Ocks make up the majority of the Villains in my areas Spiderman assortments. The villains are woefully outnumbered by the hordes of off the wall Spiderman variants.........

yeah I just checked 2 more targets being mon. is stock day and no ss venoms anywhere,just the usual BS.

I've never seen SS venom at retail, but I dont understand why everyone wants it. I like the other one so much better. In my eyes it looks waaayyy better, the SS one is to short and buff. I feel the toxic strike (or whatever the hell they call him) is the most accurate version.

SS I suppose has a different look but as far as displaying with other MU charcters, I don't think he looks good or fits in at all

I think ss venom is one of the sickest figures out there,the overall look of this guy is just awesome.

I agree, although I don't mind the Toxic Blast Venom at all (save for it's lack of knee/ankle joints) He' a good "beefcake" base for customs too.

I like the heft that SS Venom has. The Spiderman line of 3 3/4 figs is a bit of a let down overall. But the line shines when they come out with a their hefty villains, Rhino, Lizard, and SS Venom don't disappoint)

Because people like different things?

I like both versions almost equally, but not having knees kinda sucks for Toxic Blast.

..and not to get too deep, but they're two completely different characters.

D00MTR0N · 11-21-2011, 10:20 AM

I never bought toxic blast because of the knee problem,why make such a cool figure and screw it up with no knee articulation?

Your not alone here. I like the paint apps on ss venom but they should of made the grey more black. The purple is cool since the mu dark spiderman is purple and black. I actually think the paint apps on mu dark spiderman is great and ss venom should have been done this way.

I like both versions of venom but I'd like to add my two cents, toxic blast should have knees and ss should have a scorpion tail attachment instead of the arm thing he has. SS should also be purple and black.

Picked up Punisher 2nd version and Gladiator, I figure with me getting all the X-Men ones Gladiator is def. a must have

Does someone have a side by side comparison of the 2 Punisher's I could see? Didn't realize there were two.

wolverine2281 · 11-21-2011, 10:59 AM

you talking about these two?

Exodus · 11-21-2011, 11:01 AM

Wow looking through the wave lists, some of them were majority X-Men character related. Wave 6, 8, 10, 13 is all X-Men, 16 and a little of 17. Seems like every other wave there was an X-Men character. Pretty Awesome =)

wolverine2281 · 11-21-2011, 11:01 AM

bonus Target 2 pack one

Awesome thanks, wave 2 IMO looks a lot better because it's blacker and face is decent looking. Wonder how the 3rd one will look. They should just do a different version on him. Like Frankencastle....

wolverine2281 · 11-21-2011, 11:03 AM

well, not entirely all X-Men but yes the majority in those waves

I don't have a side by side..but..if you aren't a collector of the complete line...wait 6 months or so..the next punisher is leaps and bounds better than both of the others.

wolverine2281 · 11-21-2011, 11:05 AM

the one on the top is wave 3 and the bottom is the first wave. New punisher looks bad ass

Awesome tattoo by the way Wolverine =)
