Last hebdomad ’s goopy Groot was merely a goopy vanguard for goopier thing to fall , it seems . blistering toy is already all over these red-hot “ Venomized ” Marvel variants inspired by the Spider - Man : Maximum Venom cartoon , and while this one is n’t life story - sized ( oh god please , we ’re not all Jeff Bezos ) , it ’s still just as insane a take on a Marvel fable : Iron Man , but with all the spikes .
The 13.5″ tall Venomized Iron Man come with a crew of fittingly wild appurtenance . Aside from some standard Iron Man - y alternate men — include a light up repulsor blast palm — the figure comes with some Venom - coat alternates for its other half . That express on over to the two heads include : one is half Iron Man ( and still , of course , illumine up in one eye ! ) and half Venom , while the other is short Tony completely conduct over . If that was n’t enough , the hulking figure is available in a special variation that also occur with a big symbiote sword script .
Oh , and those massive pincer claws abound out of his light - up dresser ? They ’re articulated . Yikes . Venomized Iron Man is set to drop in mid-2022 , and is currently not available to pre - order just yet , but will be before long ( and the symbiote is ready to consume your pocketbook appropriately ) .
