Question What do companies have against McFarlanes VENOM

One of the greatest runs in ASM history and the creation of Venom by McFarlane yet only Koto (small) and DF (Dio) have seen it necessary to produce a version somewhat based on McFarlanes Venom. Why haven't other companies followed suit?

I agree - I am not a fan of the huge slimy tongue versions... that the companied out there seem to produce.

I guess it's more fun to sculpt the other style - but the original was the best.

I think Marvel is still P.O.d about the whole Image thing, and won't okay any sculpts based on Todd's Venom. The McFarlane Venom is my favorite.

A great pity. I would add that version to the Spidey 1:1.

I do as well, and agree it's one of the best. Maybe I'm old school as well, but McFarlane Venom really is the standard. We can thank Eric Larson for the Venom we have seen so many times since.

Blame Erik Larsen for the tongue mess.

Even though McFarlane's version only appeared in a few issues, I agree its the best version.
