Slideshow has unveiled it's venom action figure from the Spider-man official movie merchandise.

Venom Link, spoiler warning

I really wish they would have left the raised webbing off of Venom, and had made the trademark venom logo white. I also find this Venom to be too skinny.

However, I will wait until I see it in motion to make a real judgment about it. It could be that there are subtle things about watching it in film form that can't be communicated through a detailed action figure.

I agree on the too skinny part. Venom should be a huge monstrosity drooling lots of green slobber everywhere from his gaping, razor sharp grin. The raised black webbing isn't too bad though. Normally I'm a by the book type, but this time it still looks neat.

Everything I have seen makes him look way to small and short. This looks good, but its a toy. Not the actual movie look. I will wait to cast my judgement till I see it on film, but I still say, Topher was a craptastic pick for Venom.

As has been said, we'll have to see it in the film itself. Good to know they've done nothing terrible to the general design. Though I prefer a bulkier Venom perhaps they've made this one closer to Spiderman's side in an effort to play up the duality aspect.

What worries me is the pants. It looks kinda like...loose leather pants?

It's definately going to be hard to know until you actually see the movie, though.

Other than Venom being smaller than versions I've seen in the past, his design still looks pretty amazing. XD I can't wait for an actual screenshot or trailer clip or something...still, I'm excited.

So Venom will be in it as opposed to just Sandman and Green (or Hob) Goblin?

[Spoiler]I never understood why Venom was only bulky when he took over Brock.
Was it because Peter ditched the suit right when it entered it's high peak of evil? [/spoiler]

[Spoiler]In the comics, Brock was a bit bulky from the start. This is why I agree with Steve about Topher being a bad pick for Venom.[/spoiler]

Honestly, I kinda like it. It's not as terrible as I expected it to be.

Not exactly the Venom I remember from the classic PSX games, but neither was Spidey himself, come to think of it.

What kind of drugs were they smoking when they picked Topher Grace?

Actually, Topher isn't a bad choice physically if they're basing this Brock's appearance off of the Ultimate Universe's Eddie Brock Jr (and according to wikipedia, the film character is also a Jr as well). According to wikipedia, Eddie in the film will be an amalgamation of both Brocks, so as long as you take it in that light, I suppose he's not so bad.

I think that's exactly it. I don't think it's an accident that Mr. Grace slightly resembles Mr. Maguire, either.

Venom in Spider-man 3? SWEET!
