On Tuesday, Hasbro revealed a new Marvel Legends 2-pack featuring Venom in his Space Knight look and Mania. The set will cost $55.99 and will be available exclusively from Target.
A little less than a decade ago, the Venom symbiote was bonded with Flash Thompson, who ended up joining the Guardians of the Galaxy for a bit. The figure is a rerelease of the Build-A-Figure from 2016 that comes with a couple of arm-blade accessories and a surprisingly great alternate head.
As for Mania, that’s a long and convoluted story involving one of Flash Thompson’s gym students named Andi Benton. It ends up involving a lot of other symbiotes, shady characters, and gods/extraterrestrials. All you really need to know is that she’s a cool character with a cool design. Her figure’s design is pretty basic, but ends up looking really nice.
So is the set worth $56 (and dealing with the Kobayashi Maru that is Target’s preorder system)? You definitely aren’t getting your money’s worth on paint apps, but the oversized Venom figure makes the price a bit more palatable.
If you want a set for yourself, it’ll be available for preorder on Wednesday, June 22 at 1:00 PM ET with an expected arrival this fall.
