The verdict

I built this one in an evening and kept turning it around just to look at the mouth.

The brick yellow teeth against that gaping black jaw, with the tongue hanging out on a ball joint so you can pull it off, is the kind of detail that makes a bust feel like a character instead of a decoration. At $49.99 for 413 pieces plus a genuinely nasty new Venom minifigure, this is one of the better value busts LEGO has put out in a while. If you love Marvel villains or just want something with real presence on a shelf, this earns its spot.

Best for: Marvel and Venom fans who want a shelf piece with more attitude than the average LEGO bust

The full review

What it is

I will admit the first thing I did with this set was pull the tongue off and put it back on about six times. That is a silly thing to confess, but it tells you what LEGO nailed here. The mouth, with its jagged brick yellow teeth and that long ball jointed tongue, is genuinely the star of the model. The eyes have that wide, unsettling shape from the Tom Hardy films, and the veins running across the torso give the whole thing a texture that photos do not quite do justice to. It looks like Venom, not a generic monster head with a logo slapped on.

The catch

I do want to be honest about where it falls short. The legs are just black, no printing at all, and that bugged me more than I expected once I had the rest of the sculpting to compare it to. At $49.99 it undercuts a lot of last year's busts on price, which is a nice change, but 413 pieces still builds up quicker than you might hope for a display piece at this size. If you are picking it up expecting a long weekend build, temper that expectation, it is closer to a focused evening.

Who it's for

Get this one if you are a Marvel fan who wants a genuinely characterful bust on your shelf or desk, or if you collect the villain busts and Venom has been the gap in your lineup. Skip it if plain, unprinted legs on a display piece are going to bother you every time you look at it, or if you were hoping for a full poseable figure rather than a head and torso.

The parts story

What the build is actually like, and the pieces worth knowing about.

The build moves in the way most LEGO busts do, you start at the base and work upward through the neck and jaw before layering in the muscle and vein detailing on the torso and arms. Nothing here is technically tricky, it is more about watching the face take shape a plate at a time, which is oddly satisfying given how much personality ends up in that mouth by the end.

The standout pieces are all in that mouth. The brick yellow teeth pieces read brighter than the film's off white fangs, but it works in person, and the tongue on its ball joint is a nice touch since you can pull it out entirely for a slightly calmer display look. The arms carry printed vein detailing that holds up well close up, and the new Venom minifigure has its own printed vein pattern across the head and torso instead of the usual spider symbol, which makes it worth grabbing even if you already own other Venom figures. The built-in nameplate base with LEGO Marvel and Venom printed on the tile is a small but appreciated finishing touch that saves you from needing a separate display stand.

Fun facts

01The tongue is only attached by a single ball joint, so builders can pop it off entirely if they prefer a more restrained display look.
02The Venom minifigure included here uses a jagged, vein like pattern across the head and body instead of the usual spider symbol seen on most Venom minifigures.
03At $49.99, the set undercuts the price of several recent LEGO Marvel busts while landing in a similar piece count range.
04The set launched on July 1, 2026, based on Venom's design from the 2018 Sony film starring Tom Hardy.
