They are two completely different brands with different points of articulation and scale, and neither work particularly well with the other.

I love the Select Venom just as much as everyone else, but it would look entirely out of place with a Marvel Legends collection, for as nice as the figure is, it is simply too big. This Legends version of Venom is simply the best Marvel Legends version of this character that there is date, including the Toy Biz days. My Select Venom is awesome, but as awesome as he is, he stands posed on my shelf collecting dust. The Legends one is getting played with when he finally arrives...

understandable, but then i can think of a few legends that look better then the select versions.... pizza spidey looks better then the other select spideys i've seen. hasbro legends also wins me over due to the fact they have a bigger variety other then just the 20 plus movie figures they put out yearly with 3 comic versions of characters they put out.

Anyways with Absorbing man, i started wondering about him so i decided to see what comic was his first appearance, apparently he first came out in a journey into mystery comic, he was battling Thor, and on numerous occasions i've seen him fight hulk... i wonder how he got thrown into a spider-man wave. im sure they might have fought once or twice but i don't believe he's a regular spidey villian, at least not what i can recall with my Spider-man expertise per say lol
