This term refers to a specific action figure line, a sub-line of Hasbro’s Marvel Legends series, focused on the character Venom and his related symbiotes. These highly detailed and articulated figures are often exclusive to the Target retail chain, making them desirable collectibles for fans. A typical example might include a 6-inch figure of Venom with interchangeable heads and hands, or a larger, deluxe figure depicting a specific variant like Carnage or Anti-Venom.
The exclusivity of these figures to Target creates a heightened sense of collectibility and demand. This retail strategy contributes to the overall popularity and market value of the figures, often leading to online discussions, reviews, and a robust secondary market. Historically, exclusive releases have proven successful in driving collector engagement and fostering community within the action figure hobby. This exclusivity also offers Target a unique product line to attract customers interested in these collectible items.
