For this new release, Venom has a few key differences from his movie replica incarnation. The symbiote has a more viscous texture that looks like ooze constantly moving around ,and his very own spider logo that has veiny accents.

Venom also comes with a few extra accessories, like an alternative headsculpt, three different sets of
