Venom (Movieverse)

Eddie Brock was a famed investigative journalist and podcaster, until his insistence on investigating into Carlton Drake's Life Foundation organization lead to his disgrace and the self-destruction of his relationships and career. Brock discovered that the Foundation had captured and was attempting to replicate an alien Symbiote, named Venom who bonded to Brock transforming him into a dangerous vigilante, dedicated to bringing Drake to justice.

After stopping Drake and his own Symbiote partner, the monstrous Riot, Brock and Venom decided to remain together and continue to watch the streets as its new Lethal Protector.

Venom - Blu-Ray Retro Action Figure (Walmart Exclusive)
Released exclusively at Walmart retail stores, the "Retro Action Figure" Venom was included in a special Blu-Ray package alongside the film. The figure is an original mold standing roughly 5" in scale and inspired by the style of Marvel Super Heroes: Secret Wars figures, but is based on the 2018 Venom film design, lacking the classic white spider logo on his chest. The figure features the classic five points of articulation with swivels at the shoulders, hips and neck.

The figure includes two original accessories - swappable arms that are molded into far more dynamic shape-shifter weapons, with the left arm transforming into a bunch of Symbiotic goo while the right arm is formed up into a sickle-like arm-blade.

The figure received a separate release outside of the Blu-Ray box set, still exclusively at Walmart stores through a promotion in which the stores sold a series of cards featuring Vudu digital film codes; the figure was resold with the Vudu code and no Blu-Ray; with a slightly different carback to reflect that it would no longer be sold in a large box.

Venom (Venompool Series)
Released as part of Hasbro's Marvel Legends: Infinite Series line, the cinematic incarnation of Venom was included in the 2020 Venompool Series, a set of Venom themed characters originally intended to tie into the theatrical release of Venom: Let There Be Carnage before the Covid-19 Pandemic delayed the film into the following year too late to change the planned schedule for figures. The figure is based on the design depicted in the 2018 film, which had not received any Legends figures during its original run.

Venom is an entirely original sculpt, standing significantly taller than the majority of the figures in the line to replicate the scale of the character seen in the film, and covered in large, white painted veins. The mold features a diaphragm joint in the torso, but lacks butterfly joints in the arm to fully maximize the articulation.

The figure comes with two heads and four hands. The first head features Venom with a fully unhinged jaw and his tongue out, while the other head features the mouth closed. The hands allow you to swap between a pair of fists or a pair of open palm claws. The figure does not include any Venompool Build-A-Figure pieces.
