About this deal

This means that Venom Funko Pops have amazing flexibility when it comes to design choices. Due to the Symbiote’s powers to take over characters, Funko have free-range to adapt any Marvel hero or villain to their choosing and let their imagination run wild. Ask Conrad Lant - whose working name is Cronos - if he sees any parallels between the absurd events chronicled in This Is Spinal Tap, and the experiences enjoyed by Venom, the legendary heavy metal group he has fronted, on and off, for almost 30 years, and he is instantly dismissive. "That movie was never pointed at us," says the singer/bassist, evenly but firmly. "It was aimed at bands like Saxon, and Samson, and Iron Maiden. They all lived that ludicrous lifestyle; we never did. We were always down to earth, we always had friends who'd give us a slap if we got too full of ourselves." Boasting one of the more menacing looks among Marvel villains, Funko Pop Venom offers collectors several Venom, Carnage and Toxin figures alongside multiple "Venomized" versions for many of the biggest Marvel heroes.

Later that decade, Lant reformed the original Venom, playing before 89,000 fans at 1996's Dynamo festival in the Netherlands; though Mantas and Abbadon soon left the fold again, Cronos still leads a rejuvenated Venom. A new album, Hell, has been released, and remastered versions of their old albums have been reissued. The roots of the group lay in Guillotine, a Newcastle metal band featuring Dunn on guitar. "It was very much a Judas Priest kind of affair; Jeff even had the blonde hair, the Flying V guitar and the moustache," remembers Lant. "I came along to a rehearsal, and we ran through a couple of Motörhead and UFO songs. And then I said, 'I've got some ideas for songs of my own,' and so Jeff and I began work on what later became Welcome to Hell, In League With Satan, and a bunch of other early songs." What was a flashy gold and red Iron Man helmet now looks like a medieval knight and gothic monster got together. You still have the general shape of metal, however it has morphed organic spikes that protrude like a punk outfit, along with jagged teeth widening out of the mask to form a mouth piece.With thousands of hours of episodes, movies and videos, as well as some exclusive sneak peeks, there’s always something new to discover. I've always been interested in satanism," offers Lant. "But we're entertainers, and we used subjects like satanism and paganism to entertain people, like horror movies do. Listening to a Venom album is the same thing as watching an Evil Dead movie. I don't go around murdering virgins in my spare time. It's frustrating when people can't make that distinction; I mean, David Bowie's not actually from Mars, is he? But we were always being misquoted in the press," he sighs, with a shake of the head. "'Venom admit to dancing around a campfire with virgins'? Nonsense."

The first of Earth’s mightiest heroes in this Funko Blog list to fall to the Symbiote is the Venomised Captain America Vinyl Pop (#364). Miss an episode on POP, Tiny Pop or POP MAX? Catch up on your favourite shows anytime and anywhere, whether you’re at home or on the go! Marvel Comics collectors can find Agent Venom or the color-inverted Agent Anti-Venom chase variant as a Pop in a Box exclusive. The base for this Pop is excellent. What could have been just a standing Pop like the others, the designers went with a dynamic take-off/hover look. The clear red plastic stand is well moulded and is very stable.The body mould is basically the same as the standard Iron Man Pop Vinyl, with the exception of the paint job, the Venom symbol emanating from the Arc Reactor and the spikes and claws. What makes this Pop differ from the other recent crossovers is that it hasn’t fully consumed Hulk, with the stance of the figure looking like it is in the throws of Venom fighting with the green beast for dominance (or Hulk is just too big for Venom to consume).
