Some new information has surfaced regarding the Marvel Legends Agent Venom figure.
It has been officially confirmed by Hasbro that he will be a Walgreens exclusive. The second bit of news is really good-- especially if you'll be attending SDCC this year. He will be available for pre-order at the Hasbro booth! (Figure to ship later. He won't be at the show.)
I'm thinking that, because Hasbro will also be selling the figure direct, it will also be available to purchase on HasbroToyShop.com at some point. But, we all know how fast figures like this sell out there.

This is great news, and terrible news...
Hasbro will be teaming up with nation drug store chain Walgreens to release the once previewed (but never released) Agent Venom Marvel Legends figure.
Well, that is great news!
The bad news is that this figure is going to be nigh impossible to find and will likely be selling on ebay for 50-60 bucks as soon as he's released.
Marvel Legends collectors are a rabid bunch and I can imagine that any and all Agent Venoms that make it to the pegs will all be bought up at once by a single buyer. It's not like someone is going to buy one and leave the rest. They will either be "scalped" or sold to fellow collector friends.
The other issue is that Agent Venom will be part of a regular Spider-Man Legends case assortment-- not an assortment of his own. So expect to see Amazing Spider-Mans, Superior Spider-Mans and Electros galore at Walgreens with no Agent Venoms in sight.
Hopefully, if Hasbro is smart and wants to help collectors in any way, this assortment will contain Spider-Girl and Carnage.
The rumored case assortment will be--
2x AGENT VENOM
1x ELECTRO
1x SUPERIOR SPIDER-MAN
1x SPAWN OF SYMBIOTES
1x DEADLIEST FOES
1x SKYLINE SIRENS
1x AMAZING SPIDER-MAN
Good luck to us all on getting an awesome Agent Venom!!
The Walgreens around me don't even stock Marvel Legends, so I doubt highly we'll be seeing this exclusive around us.
ReplyDeleteI'm not entirely positive that they do carry Marvel Legends yet. This might be their first time, much like they didn't carry Walking Dead figures until they got their exclusive Rick Grimes figure in Series 3.
