Let’s face it: nothing goes together better than Kotobukiya and drooling alien symbiotes. That’s why we couldn’t help ourselves and recently snapped up this Venom statue without so much as a a second thought. And sweet mother of carnage is it one fantastic sculpt!
Released as part of Kotobukiya’s Marvel Comics ArtFX+ line, this 1:6 scale Venom statue is a big boy (much like Eddie Brock himself), with solid PVC molding mounted atop a cold-cast resin base depicting New York City. The end result is one of the most awesome Venom statues on the market, and one collectible we just had to get our tendrils on.
THE SPECS
Sculpted by the legendary Junnosuke Abe (also known as RESTORE), who happens to be the brains behind numerous Kotobukiya ArtFX designs, this particular Venom statue stands at an impressive 16.5-inches tall, with the base giving it a noticeable lift that really helps it catch the eye. It also weighs in at a hefty 12 pounds, so be prepared to have a decent space to display this bad boy.

WHAT IT COMES WITH
The Kotobukiya Venom statue comes disassembled, with the head and arms detached, but we had a pretty easy time putting it together and it’s really a no-brainer. The cathedral tower in particular snaps together and looks great (and is really what drew us to this statue to begin with). It would have been cool if there was a light up LED component like you sometimes see with other pieces (like Kotobukiya’s Cosmic Ghost Rider statue), but that’s a minor complaint. Everything that’s in the box is solid and the packaging itself is gorgeous (if you’re one of those neurotic collectors like us who actually likes to keep the boxes around for display).
THE PRICE
As a higher end Kotobukiya piece this isn’t quite as affordable as the smaller 1:6 figures (like the Kotobukiya Miles Morales statue we recently reviews), but it’s definitely worth the price tag, and with a limited run on these bad boys, you could potentially flip it on the secondary market and web up a tidy profit (although we have no intention of letting ours go anytime soon).
OUR RATING
With its massive scale, intricate details, incredible base and jaw-dropping pose, Kotobukiya’s ArtFX Venom statue has as salivating more than a hungry symbiote. This sick puppy is definitely a must have for fans of both statues and Marvel’s greatest web slinging bad ass.
