According to the official introduction, this work belongs to the Artist Collection series of Hot Toys. As the name suggests, it requires artistic creation. Therefore, based on the setting of the American animated character of Venom Iron Man, Mr. Khoo Fuk-Lung’s personal Hong Kong comics characteristics are incorporated, thus expanding into a new field.
Compared with the image in the animation “Spider-Man: Maximum Venom“.
It is not difficult to find that this action figure does not actually refer to the styling settings in the animation.
There is still a big difference between them in terms of shape and style.
So looking at it this way, Hot Toys’ Venomized Iron Man Action Figure is actually a new original design concept materialization work that breaks through the traditional framework.

This venom symbiote shows the look of Iron Man being parasitized by venom, especially the upper right body has been completely swallowed by venom.

The depiction of the left half of the armors is good, the outer armors have worn out depiction and aging-effect painting.
In addition, the outer armors have a large number of symbiont details, showing that the venom symbiont is constantly attaching and extending.
Iron Man’s right leg and foot have been completely swallowed by the venom, and the left leg and foot‘s armors have been climbing by the symbiote. The erosion details on the armors are really good.
The left half of Iron Man has light-emitting mechanisms, you can see that the palm of left hand, arc reactor on the chest, and left eye can all emit light.
Regarding the part of the venom symbiont, the iconic details such as white eye, irregular sharp silver teeth and big tongue are faithfully recreated in this action figure.
On the chest of Venomized Iron Man, in addition to the white spider pattern, Hot Toys also provides three articulated biochemical mechanical pincers outstretched from the chest.
The biochemical mechanical pincers are also equipped with realistic bones and blood coatings. Displays together with the spider pattern on the chest, the three-dimensional impression is very strong.
This Venomized Iron Man Action Figure also comes with interchangeable protruding tongue accessories of different shapes.
The back of this Venomized Iron Man is depicted in good details. In addition to the white spider pattern, explosive muscles have also been highlighted.

In terms of accessories, Hot Toys’ products have always been relatively rich. In addition to the interchangeable tongue introduced above, this Venomized Iron Man Action Figure also comes with five interchangeable hands and a specially designed character-themed figure base with a graphic card.
At the same time, this action figure also includes an interchangeable newly developed Venom head sculpt. The details are well portrayed, both the eyes details and the texture of the tongue are very good.
