New Venom Bust Joins LEGO's Marvel Display Series

76356 Venom Bust arrives on July 1st, bringing the symbiote's toothy grin to LEGO's growing collection of Marvel character busts. At 413 pieces for £44.99, it slots neatly between the existing Iron Spider-Man Bust (379 pieces, £50) and Iron Man MK4 Bust (436 pieces, £50).

Venom takes its cues from the 2018 film rather than comic book designs, which should please fans of Tom Hardy's take on the character. An exclusive Venom minifigure comes alongside the main build, adding a bit more value to what's essentially a display piece.

Bust sets occupy an odd space in the LEGO world. They're clearly aimed at adult collectors who want something more sophisticated than action figures, but they're not quite as impressive as the larger helmet series. The Marvel busts strike a reasonable balance - detailed enough to look good on a shelf without requiring the space or budget of a proper UCS set.

At roughly 11p per piece, the pricing feels fair if unremarkable. The completed model measures 17 cm high, 17 cm wide and 12 cm deep, making it a compact addition to any desk or shelf. The tongue can be removed to alter the appearance, giving you two display options from one build.
