Japanese toy brand Kaiyodo's "Amazing Yamaguchi (アメコミヤマグチ)" action figure series, known for its astonishing super-posability, recently announced the commercialization of a new character from MARVEL comics, "Agent Venom" (エージェントヴェノム). Today (the 5th), they updated the product information and released more complete official images. Pre-orders are expected to open on September 15, 2023.
Updated on September 5, 2023:
Agent Venom is a character born after "Flash Thompson" bonded with the symbiote. After becoming an adult, Flash chose to join the military and served in Iraq, but lost both his legs during a mission and was subsequently discharged. He later participated in the U.S. government's secret project "Project Rebirth 2.0" and successfully bonded with the Venom symbiote, becoming the new host. He not only mimicked the appearance of legs but also gained some of Spider-Man's and Venom's abilities, becoming undetectable by Spider-Sense. However, Agent Venom also has the flaw that "the symbiote suit will cause him to go berserk if attached for too long."
This approximately 17 cm tall "Amazing Yamaguchi Agent Venom" boasts a muscular physique and rich sculpted details, including the massive white spider emblem on the chest and abdomen, spiked armor on the forearms and calves, multiple equipment pouches, and straps. Although primarily black and white, different textures create a sense of depth. The head sculpt is also incredibly cool, and the sharply detailed symbiote effect parts further enhance Agent Venom's intimidating presence! What's even more awesome is that the symbiote effects can be combined with hand parts to hold guns, significantly boosting his firepower and promising exciting playability. However, with so many sharp points, it's definitely wise to prepare yourself before handling it.
The accessories are incredibly rich, including four handguns, four holstered handguns worn on the body, equipment pouches, a rifle, interchangeable eyes, web effects, numerous symbiote effect parts, bullet firing effects, and multiple interchangeable hands. Furthermore, ordering from Kaiyodo's official online store will grant an additional interchangeable head sculpt.
