I still can't really figure out how to get this bad boy transformed right. But he looks real cool.

 

I love this toy. He looks totally badass psycho killer in both modes. Legs are kind of loose but he can still stand. I think I figured out the waist. I'll post a pic of how I did it since the instructions suck ass. When you have it folded correctly in there, you can peg the chest to the waist and also peg the side fenders to the chest too.

 

Picked him up today after seeing Cat1's damned pics yesterday night. Damn you Cat1!

Car is probably one of the most solid alt modes I've seen in a while.

Transforming it is a BITCH. But I finally got the waist to do what it was supposed to.

Kinda wish the legs were a better designed.

 

thats how i got him to stay two. just hate how it bends the inner panel

 

Yeah i hope long periods in robot mode dont warp it permanently

 

Got it last night. I mainly got it because it was Venom.

Echoing everyone else, the car mode is great. The muscle car motif fits the character pretty well, and it's nice to have the bigass white spider insignia synonymous with Venom in both modes. But yeah, that transformation is a total bitch. I'm sure I still didn't get it right, but if it's solid enough to sit on a shelf I'll live with it not being right.

Looks get a B-, engineering gets a WTF-.

 

Thanks for the pics and reviews guys! This is the coolest looking one so far I think. Doesn't look too bad.  

 

Could someone give me a comparison pic of him standing next to an Alternator/Binaltech, and a comparison of Vehicle modes? I heard these guys were roughly Deluxe-sized, but I've also heard he stacks up pretty well to the alts.

 

I'm too lazy to transform Venom and an Alternator both back to car mode tonight.

 

Does Venom have bicep swivels?

 

He sure does.

 

Thank you, that's exactly what I needed!

 

Is it just me or does his tongue remind me of Legion Drones from Kiss Players? Potential Custom @_@?

 

We want ALT mode pics! We want ALT mode pics!  

 

Video review available here:

 

Picked him up, I rather like him, though I ended up using a video review to figure him out since the directions were so useless on the waist part. (Not so much the clip, but getting the "plates" of the skidplate and waist plates lined up correctly.) I'm pleased, but not thrilled with him. As mentioned by others, but I'll say again, he's quite a bit larger then I thought he would be, he's a big car all right.

TF tip, I find it a lot easier to transform back to vehicle mode by leaving the middle lower bumper bit as the last step, otherwise the hood may not get lined up properly.

Marvel TF Crossovers Venom Pictorial Review

Getting back to doing my full pictorial galleries instead of just video reviews. First up, Crossovers Venom:



Spidey's nemesis, and the first Villain to get his own Mech (actually, the only one so far, to the best of my knowledge.) Venom's alternate mode is an angry muscle car:









Got the custom plates:



And toothy grill:




Transformation is a little tricky, and the doors like to pop off, but once you get it down he's pretty damn awesome:









As always, he lives to menace Spider-man:




All in all a great figure, with a couple of minor weaknesses (difficult transformation, overly large leg kibble). If you can only buy one of these things, Venom should be on the short list.






Video review, as always, available here:

 

Walks from the shadows in the middle of the streets, wearing a a brown cloak and a top hat..

*pauses*

jumps out from the shadow jumping in the air wrapping the cloak off, twirling him self, and points "YOU, PEAUGH!!"

Lands on the ground and throws hat to the side

*Pause*

"THAT IS JUST BRILLIANT JUST BRILLIANT!!"

 

I got Venom today, I like the figure a lot, despite it's flaws. His car mode is just fantastic, and huge, and can very nearly sit in with Alts. In fact, I weighed him and at 8.1 oz that does put him firmly in Voyager territory, which is pretty nice at the $15 (or $16) price point. I like the way they worked his feet, as you can put him in a decent number of leg poses since you can shift his feet around so much. Although his leg joints restrict that somewhat. His arms are kind of a bitch to work with though.

Ha, one thing I just noticed looking at the one Venom and Spider-Man pic, is that they put each of their missile launchers where they shoot their respective webbing from. That is, Spidey shoots his webbing from the bottom of his wrists, whether they be artificial or not, while Venom shoots it from the top of his wrists.
