On September 4, I was one of the many eager Hollow Knight fans who hastily opened up every gaming storefront to experience the moment when the ludicrously long wait for Hollow Knight: Silksong finally ended. Like everyone else, I experienced the crashing of these storefronts, but eventually, to my delight, I managed to install Silksong on my Nintendo Switch 2.

The foil card included with this toy is "Agent Anti-Venom, Horrifying Healer" and it can bring back a target creature from the graveyard. This card can also deflect, and the action figure is an accurate replica of the powerful anti-symbiote character--the lore around him is way too much to get into right now. For accessories, Agent Anti-Venom comes with several sets of alternate hands, two blast effects, two smoke effects, tendrils, and a powerful arsenal of weapons.
