Eddie, they did make a Spiral in the ML line... IIRC it was in the Target exclusive Red Hulk ML wave. But I think it would be nearly impossible in MU scale. Just not enough room in the female torsos to cram all those shoulder joints.
On top of Spiral, I'd like to see a MLF set...mostly just Stryfe though.
The line needs more villain really....and more than a Magneto repaint, or a Juggernaut with a new head.

Stryfe would be a pretty easy custom. Cable head, Destroyer body, custom helmet. Maybe not an LBC, but not a lot of work.
hmmmm what if they could make 4 arms onto some sort of backpack/webgear attachment?
would have to use the She-Hulk body too

Venom is a character they just don't have a f@#$% clue what to do with. He was cool in 1988, i.e. the ASM McFarlane era. Then the 90's overexposed him to the point that no one cared if he was published in a comic ever again. Then they tried to make him a disturbed hero. Then they gave him cancer and put Scorpion in the suit. Then they made him a Dark Avenger. Then they put him in Thunderbolts. Then they put Flash Thompson in the suit, and again tried to make him a hero. The bad ideas just keep coming.
I enjoy Venom as a monsterous baddie for Spiderman. He's a big ole mean mother fucker. I also do like having Flash Thompson as Venom, I really enjoy the character of Agent Venom.
He WAS a great baddie for Spider-Man, but he quickly became a one-trick-pony. He could beat spidey at absolutely everything, then some sonic trick, doodad, or gadget would save the day. It was fun the first few times. Then it just became repetitive.
I just don't care for Flash as a hero either. I think about the jocks and bullies I knew in school, and I wouldn't slow down if I saw them crossing the street, so I have a hard time rooting for Flash as a protagonist.
The concept of wearing the suit as a weapon was intriguing at first, back when he could only put on the suit 20 times before becoming perma-bonded. It made it seem finite, like every mission mattered because they were very limited. But then they quickly brushed that aside. I just gave up.

Don't get me started on what Remender did to Punisher... I'm just thankful the Rucka run was able to wash away the bad taste from that frankencastle $#!*.
I really don't give a shit about what happened in the comics. Venom is still a cool looking character, and as a toy figure... I can imagine him however I want. My toys don't follow any specific bio or whatever.
Kinda like Retaliation RB being a Ninja, in the bio. Once opened, that bio shit goes in the trash along with the rest of the package. Funny how some people act like that crap is written in stone or something.
Anyway, I just want a good Venom figure for my shelf - period.

If this site had a gay "like" button, I'd like the shit out of this. I understand why some pros do it. But I don't. Venom is a bad son of a bitch. Just like Storm Shadow is a Cobra assassin and CC's bodyguard. Dusty will never be seen performing "refrigerator repairs" in my photos.
That venom linked above is quite nice...he just needs some added articulation...wrists, knees, feet...and waist, which I have no idea how to do...
I in no way implied anyone's toy collection should be a slave to comics canon, merely that the character as portrayed in recent years is nowhere nearly as cool as he once was.
Funny how some people can't handle some comics discussion in their comic toy thread. My bad.

Totally appropriate place man...maybe I'm wrong, but in instances like this/that, I just assume its not directed at me, but more generalized....
^^^ Pretty much.
My comments were directed to the general toy collectors, who like I pointed out in my reference, can't get past Ret RB being a Ninja because the card says so.
I know most people love to jump on my back every time I write something, but damn. From now on, if I don't quote anyone specifically, or mention names - don't automatically assume I'm attacking you.

KT used to have that problem...he corrected it by using more cute emoticons
Everyone loves emoticons, especially on a site of predominantly male users.
OOOOooo..I wonder if mine have?!...
What head are you using for Archer?...that's a brilliant custom idea
EDIT: they did!...suhhhh-WEET!

And ONLY $14!...YAY!
Well, considering I'll likely never see these in stores.....
Hell, all the con/club exclusives I'll never see in a store are $25-$50 each, so from that perspective, X might as well be an exclusive. If you look at it that way, it seems cheaper...
Exactly why I finally caved...I wanted him bad enough...
Now, if I am somehow lucky enough to ever stumble across him in store, I'll pick up all I can and sell him...though anyone who wants him will have to be willing to pay the $14 I had to
I picked up two last year through ebay, and two from dorkside. Still, I need a few more before I'll be satisfied.

Is there a super skinny bandana'd face you could use for cancer rage Archer?
Use Jungle PoC Duke with some green stuff and shave down the cheeks...
I'm still trying to figure out how to do Lana...
No kidding, we all wanna do Lana
Did you see last weeks episode when Ceryl(sp?) was plowing her over the desk?
