Reed Richards has gotta take the title for absolute worst though....UGH! :P

I say 3.75" and I'm talking with European Star Wars guys from all over they always say 3.75".... Sometimes I search for 1/18 but not often. I am a 3.75" word user.... I don't like when people say 4" (even though it IS closer to what they are) or when someone types 3 3/4... or say three and three fourths, don't know why but it drives me nutters.

I was at The Entertainer (UK biggest independent toy store chain) and saw a Sinister Six two pack with Ultimate Gobbo and Agent Venom.Perfect scale for a larger figure. Also in the two pack Gobblin had transparent fire arms...never seen that before.

I don't know, something about him seems off. Compared to the Daredevil/Cyclops he's short, round, kinda got moobs. Dad bod.

As someone already said the Silver Surfer body would've been perfect but even the Secret Wars Cyclops body would've been preferable to that one.

Stopped at my Walmart to shop and checked the toy aisle. The pegs are up for both singles and comic packs but no stock yet.

CCC.

I think it works for Union Jack. Don't know why, but it fits with him being all WW2, I don't picture him as being Captain America with the pecs and abs, more of a normal guy for the time.

I also checked my Walmart. Nothing new here. They even removed their black series 3.75 inch Star Wars pegs.

On the plus side TRU did get all the new stuff in. My friend got me all the comic packs.
Iron Man & Cap-Falcon are up for grabs for cost plus shipping.

I think the Goblin from Sinister 6 is fine for 3.75, but Venom is too big. Agent Venom was always relatively normal sized in comics. Venom and now Venom Space Knight are bigger and could be a 5 inch figure but not Agent Venom. Any thoughts from anyone else?

deathofthelines · 02-23-2016, 08:48 PM

Taller than marvel u big bodies by a head.

I don't know anything about agent v outside the cartoon and yea I have to agree not a big guy. Now rhino goblin and Zola seem like they should be big guys compared to the average marvel u fig

Mostly a normal sized guy. Venom is now Venom Space Knight. He's big and bulky like Venom of old, but has a more streamlined look. Host is still Flash Thompson.

Annnd now I remember why I don't buy comics anymore

I will never forgive Bendis and the people at Marvel who greenlit that arc.

The figures I ordered on eBay arrived already, can't wait to crack em open.

This sounds terrible. My knowledge of Venom stops with Eddie. Once he stopped being Venom I stopped caring.

I can't speak for space knight but I really enjoyed agent venom when Rick remender was writing it. He had a cool arch rivalry with jack o lantern. I hope we get an agent venom in the 3.75" scale, or a proper Brock venom like the 6" one that is out now. I can always use more symbiotes. I still think a maximum carnage set would be a good SDCC exclusive.
