This Venom comes with a 'separation anxiety' feature 😂
Me
It falls apart like a counterfeit Turbo Man.
Ooohf
LMAO
Well some assembly is required
doesnt, he is pulling, you can hear the revoltech clicks specially when he pulled the torso and the leg.
So basically a Figma figure? haha Those things feel like water in yours hands lol
Remember those Crash Test Dummies figures that were designed to fall apart? It's like they decided to reuse them to make Venom.
Or every mafex and yamaguchi figures lol
Nah, those crash test dummy figures stayed together until you INTENTIONALLY pulled them apart.
Fun fact hank Azaria who voices many characters on the simpsons also voiced Eddie Brock/venom in the animated Spider-Man series
Best way I ever heard someone describe Amazing Yamaguchi is that they aren’t figures so much as they are puzzles…once you figure out how to work with it, you can do some awesome poses, but once you have it you gotta leave it…it’s not something to actually play with. I enjoy mine but it does have its downfalls. I display all my Revoltechs with the stands never without. 🤙🏻
I was full on thinking this would be a joke. I have a KO Carnage with those problems but thought it was cuz it’s a KO.
Thanks for taking one for the team. 😂🤙🏽
This Venom looks horrible in person with all the massive gaps, which apologists will ignore. I mean, sure, it looks great in photos provided you take the shot from certain angles but in-hand, it never doesn't look like crud, because our human anatomy/peripheral vision prevents us from avoiding the bad bits.
It's just not for everyone. I think liking this figure doesn't really make you an apologist, just because it doesn't suit what you like doesn't mean nobody else on the planet will like it
Exactly. I hate that ball joint thing and I hate the revotect tmnt
@@owene2530 First off, I respect your opinion and I agree with it to an extent. Second, I'm not trying to be argumentative.
Here's my counterpoint. Of course, there will be people who'll like the figure. And it's not as if it doesn't have some redeeming qualities. It looks great in photography from certain angles.
But while toys are a subjective thing, this figure, is as near as objectively bad as can be, for a subjective subject matter.
Let me clarify/expand. Let's take G1 Transformers toys. Many of the old toys were "bricks" that didn't even resemble the show characters, yet, thousands, if not millions of people still love them. And there's nothing wrong with that. But it doesn't change the fact that they're bad by modern standards. With some being bad even by their era's standards.
Objectively, they're bad. But subjectively, they're loved. This Venom is objectively baaaaad. It has some good points. But it falls apart, a bunch of the joints are weak in that they can't hold their respective body part up, it is gappy as all heck when posed, and while I admire the gutsiness of such an experimental pec-joint, it breaks up the spider emblem.
All that said, you do you. Love what you love.
I can't speak for the venom, but the knockoff carnage is actually amazing. It's only one of two knockoffs I own and it's one of my favorite figures!
Oh yeah? Interesting, what's the other one??? I have a sweet tooth for good bootlegs
@@jacobjames4537the arkham knoght bootleg is really good
@@jacobjames4537 the other is a fake Mezco punisher, well according the box a "Mezco Tyoz" 🤣. It's not very good though, the joints pop out every time you move it. I don't know how often you've tried putting a leg back in that's encased in a soft good prison, but it sucks.
Wow, and to think this is the Venom I'd wanted to upgrade with for the articulated fingers, thus having Eddie flip the bird. Guess I'll stick with my old Toybiz one after all.
Same here! I was gonna get this but definitely not now!✌️
I have one and it's not bad. Just get the reissue, it doesn't fall apart at all, and the poses are amazing
Guys, this is a KO. I have an original revoltech Venom and its fine. Already posted some comments about this here.
Had a KO carnage falling apart like the Venom in the video back in the days.
I was just about to make a Crash Test Dummies joke! Someone beat me to it! Sophisticated audience!😂
"Falling To Pieces" by Faith No More was playing on my stereo in the background as I watched this...
Not intentionally, either, I have to say.
Sorry, Dave. It happens to us all, brother!
Speaking of looking to the future though: Did ya preorder the Giant Man/Janet Van Dyne two pack?
I had it in my head 😂
Any excuse to play some faith no more
Dang, Dave cut a promo on Amazing Yamaguchi...
I hope Dave was able to get his money back.
That’s crazy, your anger was justifiable! I’d be furious about buying that mess at cover
Thanks Dave for warning the collector community 👍 YOU have saved many with the frustration of making the same mistake. Thank you again!
I have the old Captain America and Magneto ones and I can confirm, trying to pose them out is just a mess. They fall apart as well. Not as easily as that venom, but I was pretty sure they were bootleg until I found out they weren't. Just bad designs and bad quality control. It's a shame too because I love how chonky they are.
That's too bad, I do hope you keep up with that Sinister Six idea though, sounds like a fun plan!
Brother I’ve already found a better Venom! Thank to so much for the donation!
The optimistic joyful happiness at the beginning 😂😂
My yamaguchi Spider-Man does the same thing lol. Don’t mind it that much but it is a bit annoying when handling it and it just separates in half
From experience, that loose torso is going to create a problem with the painted white spider on the chest. The ab portion scrapped part of mine off, just because he was too top heavy and the waist flops all over the place. He needs a much more solid core in terms of engineering.
I thought the C-N-C Anti-Monitor was cheaply made! (The waist piece was so flimsy that I broke it snapping in a leg and had the same part crumble to bits during the shipping of the second one!) I've never had a store bought figure fall apart like that, though. That's worse than a Dollar Store toy! I feel your pain, boyo.
if the OG is like this imagine the knock-off
Yeah, anytime I think of those old Revoltech figures I quiver in fear. I had the AY Gambit and I had a very complicated relationship with it. On one hand it looked absolutely glorious once I posed it, but every pose took me about an hour cause every single par felt apart. It was the most frustrating experience!! Thank god Revoltech and Kaiyodo have evolved quite a lot since then.
My revoltech venom is awesome doesn't fall apart unless I use effort and pull it apart. But yes the head csp doesn't stay on well. I just use tac putty for it
That’s what I was thinking too. I have this exact figure and the waist on mine didn’t shake and wiggle like his did when he was moving it. Also the hip to leg joints on my figure doesn’t look like his. I think he bought a knockoff and the guy who sold it didn’t say anything about it. The only thing that was wrong with mine was that I found the shoulders to be too slidie and weird. That’s a suspect figure he has…
This company probably won't fix the design or problems with this figure, they will just start calling it a model kit instead.
Had the Revoltech Magneto. Alt heads and magnetic power effects aside, it will be the only Revoltech I will ever have. Those articulation joints are ridiculous compared to the main Marvel toylines like Legends and Select.
The only Revoltech I'm hearing good things is Cable, especially with his MvC2 style outfit. And of course he costs an arm and a leg, pun intended.
The war machine and iron man figures are actually the dopest ones. They have awesome accessories and the poses they get in with the accessories is amazing. The Deadpool one is also great and so is the Wolverine. Outside of those 5 (cable being the fifth) you’d probably be better off buying mafex figures instead. I was upset that I got the gambit one only for the other mafex model to release months later and I was so disappointed that I didn’t just wait.
Deadpool 2.0, Psylocke, Spider-Gwen, Harley Quinn, and then the whole My Hero Academia line are great. As far as a cutoff point I’ve heard that everything before the Deadpool 2.0 are majorly hit or miss
The Bleeding Edge Iron Man & the Carnage figures are considered great in my opinion. What's weird with Revoltech is that they all look so goofy & overexaggerated that they only look good in action poses, but I'd give Bleeding Edge Iron Man a pass and Carnage is really great, he looks overexaggerated but still looks good in standard calm "vanilla" poses...
@@ludotoyhunter8492 Thanks for bringing up the Iron Man and War Machine figures. That's the time the exaggerated articulation actually makes sense.
I have the AY Cable and I love the way he looks. The sculpt is so dope. BUT I never pull him out to pose anymore because it just falls apart in my hands. Really disappointing. I have 10 AY figures. 7 out of the 10 have loose joints in some form with my Cable being the worst - he can’t hold anything past a regular vanilla pose. Flash, Superman and Bleeding Edge Iron Man all have tight joints and look incredible. All the rest have a leg that separates at the knee or a shoulder that is constantly coming out or a loose/fragile hip joint etc. In the end I really like AY figures and they do seem to be getting better with joint quality but it is still very frustrating to have these issues on figures that are supposed to be collectors items and demand premium prices. 🤷🏽♂️
I have the legit one I bought way back in 2016 from BBTS and it never falls apart like that. Either you got a factory defect copy or it's an actual bootleg, as the bootleg one also falls apart like that.
I'm glad to finally see you go off on this figure, you've been complaining about it for months! I will say though... at least the pieces just come off and don't snap completely. But it really does come off like a model kit with how often the pieces pop off.
This video better not be a sign... I have the AY Agent Venom pre-ordered and it's coming out this month...
You might have a collector's item. That figure could be the initial pre-conception model they made and they just packaged it by mistake and you just happened to buy it. LOL
Nah that's just how it is lol
Oh come on its just an extra feature.Its like IN THE COMICS.Remember that issue When venom exploded.Its a reference
well they say that any mistake that is a mistake is one that cannot or will not be learned from. so its not REALLY a mistake if theres something to learn from it. thanks for sharing the info so other people can learn.
bro, I laughed so hard not at your pain just how excellent you captured it because I felt like exactly at least 4 times lol
I collect vintage and modern megos and I've learnt to repair/paint and customise them and all dc/marvel legends figures too.
My point is,,if I came across this I'd pin/glue it to the joints,for me it's all part of the fun.
But yeah,though I see it as a challenge shouldn't have to.
When I saw the beginning with it on top of each other,I'd glue it like that paper mache or sculpting clay onto a base and let it set,repaint it and make it look liquefied venom.
Man.. this Venom made the "broke-leg-Mafex" Spiderman look good.. 😨
Yeah at least a little glue fixed that!
I think he never heard of Quality control
My bad, I don't think I've ever seen you unhinged, then regaining your composer😂. Love watching your content from San Antonio,Tx.
Hey thanks brother. I got it together at the end there! :)
Honestly, owning 3 revoltech, being black panther, arkham knight and flash, you can really tell that Arkham knight is an older figure. Small pieces keep falling off here and there, and the wrist pegs for some reason are at an angle. He looks good, but very frustrating to work with.
BP and flash are much sturdier and can actually stay put together
You walked so that we could run. Thank you for your sacrifice.
Ah well it's been a good run, displaying model behaviour is no longer an action figure review show anymore... we can thank amazing yamaguchi venom for that.
I think you can probably use glue or tissues so the joints have a better connection but I don't know how to do it on a revoltech because I mostly buy 3rd party transformers and those can have lots of issues so yeah
That's a shame, because the fogure looks gorgeous. That paint looks so fkn sharp. In the box, and posed, yeah, amazing. But falling apart and being all loose like that, yeah, that's a deal-breaker.
As a former holder of this figure I couldn’t agree more I really hated it
The amount of times it falls apart when recording has to be a work
I feel your pain, man. I bought a Spider-Gwen figure that dismantled itself upon the unboxing. Ruined my day. I tried to look on the bright side, but I failed to find it (I mean, what can I reuse the parts for, kit-bashing a Spider-Trans?). My deepest sympathies , brother!
Dam man I'm in Tokyo right now and saw him on shelf and was tempted. Mafex are much harder to find than I was expecting.
I bought a revoltech carnage action figure about 5 years ago…. it 2 was the WORST action figure I have ever purchased….. I own over a thousand action figures in my collection and that carnage was the worst! Next time bro just ask your fans who are quality companies 2 purchase from….
We won’t lead u astray!
P.S. ( I hope you kept your receipt!)
I spent 27.99+ 9.99 shipping for a knock off from Amazon. The only problem i had was that his tongue falls off constantly.
watching this made me feel so bad yet I couldn't help but laugh a bit. Dave you're quite the character my man, and I'm sorry you had to deal with this abomination :(
honestly, mine is pretty solid. My only issue was the weight, too heavy for the stand, currently using two to hold him up, have him with the AY Spider-Man and AY Carnage in the pose of that one trio pic by Bagley. i love it
Your warning comes about 3 years too late for me😂😂😂.
For monster Venom I'm happy with the Marvel Legends Eddie version. If you want original comic Eddie go with the Mafex. Most of my Venoms are Marvel Legends and I like them just fine, but the Mafex is on another level. The Yamaguchi Venom is floppy and I just didn't care for the aesthetic after having it in hand. Though I kinda feel that for all the Yamaguchi figures. They have this weird pointy overly exaggerated look to them over their normal appearance.
I know what you're going through some of these revoltech figs lol. I love their articulation but some of them just fall apart so quickly. Like the revoltech Psylocked, I hated adjusting her face and hair because it keeps on falling off when I try to pose her.
Yeah it’s a shames as some of the styles are cool.
Come on Dave it’s a good figure if you give it a chance, I got the bootleg & with some mods like just tacking the ball pegs it’s good now, so I can only imagine how much better the original would be
I feel your pain! I bought this guy because he looked beautiful. But how do you make a figure that falls apart at every joint? Who would've thought Bootleg figures are superior quality to this? I refused to ever buy another figure from Revoltech again.
In simple terms revoltech venom is just….well hes poseable hes looks great in dynamic poses sure, but he is definitely NOT user friendly at ALL and as a guy who bought him I can confirm that, I still keep him around but hes a pain in the arse to handle
Suggest u dont let this figure ruin ur perspective on revotlech figures, just keep in mind that this is a really hold revoltech figures, one thing ive noticed is that they rarely used balljoints back then, fyi the joint that kept popping off on ur venom is NOT a ball joint its a hinge joint that pegs onto the torso and etc. which is the problem with these old revoltech figures, its hard to handle hinge joints the only part that has ball joints is prolly the leg up movement but the newer revotlech figures use alot of ball joints to match yo with how action figures are traditionally made now
I bought their version of Deadpool (legit, not knock-off) and it was exactly the same. I made the decision never to buy one of their figures again.
Hmmm..., That's weird, I thought 🤔 you already have a Venom figure but from Marvel Legends like the 3 pack Venom or the cool ass looking King In Black Venom which I think is the best Venom action figure so fight me people.
use acrylic matte agent to fix the joints,this is what you have to do when you play the old revoltech and early ay figure
I've had the same experience with a few figures myself. It's disappointing. Pose, reattach, and then don't touch.
I've never seen a review with the figure falling apart piece by piece and the reviewer continuing to review it😂 sorry that happened to you but you made it entertaining
I bought this guy awhile ago and once I opened him up he started falling apart all over the place. Its not even worth the effort me to sell him since I threw away the box lol
Nah, he's not lying. I've actually owned that fig before, and it looks cool, but it falls apart very easily.
I had a similar experience and decided that i'll never buy a revoltech figure again
He will fold like Superman on laundry day!!! That was fucking hilarious!! Such a great line sir!! So sorry for your purchase buddy. But great video sir!!
Wow that sucks. It must have been pricey too to cause such a reaction. That sucks getting burned like that.
I had the same experience with the carnage figure. It looks so wicked, but it handles like a wet noodle with everything popping off
The daisy thing at the end was brilliant.
this one needs a 2.0 badly, I like the design but the joints they used were just not meant for a big character like him
Even Lego products don't breakdown like that once you pop them in... Big oof!
I feel your pain.I bought that POS when it came out and mine snapped in half at the waist after a few days. Total trash!
These are the moments we as collectors NEED to see!!
Its sad cause it had a lot of potential but the quality doesnt hold up as you keep playing with it. Wish they reissued this more secure
I'm suprised you bought it , I thought you knew it was this bad
Reminds me of the X-Force Deadpool. Great looking figure but his damn leg and arm kept coming off. And his back piece to hold the swords doesn’t stay on
I can vouch for you on this. I had the exact same experience as you. 20 minutes fn' around with it, I put all the parts in a ziplock and tossed it to the side.
Oh wow 🤯 my coworker bought this figure from Amazon and because of the low price he paid for it and the low quality of it i thought he got a cheap Chinese knockoff. But i see it’s not just him
Large Cojones, absolutely my friend.
I heard about this issue on revoltech 1.0 figs, this is why it took me a long time to get anything from them and I only have the spiderman 2.0
We thank you for your sacrifice, major PSA
Yeah I'm glad I avoided getting this venom. I'm just not the biggest fan of monsterous venom designs and this one just wasn't it for me.
I ordered one of these 4 years ago on eBay. It broke as soon as I took it out of the box. Trash! I thought it was only me. Sorry, Dave!
Bought a Wolverine and Deadpool a few years ago, Wolverine's left arm broke as soon as I took out of the box and moved his arm.
The Lego buildable venom seems more sturdy
Well Dave, you were warned…. Many people told you that the Yamaguchi Venom is garbage. At least now you know first hand at least.
I get why people dont like this fig especially with the awful QC issues but I have it and I love it even with its problems because it just looks so cool
Just get some other Amazing Yamaguichi figures and you can mix and match all their parts together lol
I was broken hearted to get a Hatsune Miku figure knock off that can't stay together even a little, but the real ones are too expensive. Now I just have some small knockoff Miku statues and that's fine. Love Venom but it looks too technical for my taste.
As an 'in-box collector' - I don't have these issues .... :-) Hope you can get a refund - contact the company direct?
Of course one could only argue that these Yamaguchi figures look like that and having loose joints etc cause they're not supposed to vanilla pose but yeah it looks horrible
Looks like a regular Yamagucci to me. I had a Spider-Man Yamagucci and I did bought another one eventually (a KO) but only to use the joints and hands in a custom but I've never got a Yamagucci 'for keeps'.
They're all awful...
Mine still in box. ill have to git it out soon now!
essentially the same vibe I had with the shf guts. Canceled all my pre-orders for shf instantly
Sooo, no Model Behaviour seal of approval?
bro I got that when I was 5 or 4 and it keeps breaking and now I have like little pieces of it
The Revoltech Venom was the first venom I ever got. I was so disappointed 😢
interesting to see an over engineered, yet under engineered design. thanks for the education.
I had this but never opened it. Glad i sold it.
I understand where you're coming from this figure feels bad that's because this is the old style of the amazing yamaguchi figures. nowadays these figures are really good
This is why I don't buy these figures from that company. I admit I did at first would buy the knockoffs and yeah they were junk. But then I actually bought one from Big bad toy store and it was just as bad and I'm like nope I'm good. Not to mention I don't really understand the point they got so many joints and they break but yeah you can buy a marvel legend and get better quality and looks better in my opinion as far as the way they do their joints and will actually hold up. That's another reason I don't buy figma,Mafex, and Amazing Yamaguchi Revoltech.
To be fair, this guy got reissued because of these issues. Is this the reissue or the OG drop? OG is CURSED with bad QC.
Amazing Yamaguchi Figures are Like A 80's Pick and Mix Bag.
