Marvel Comics Venom Statue by DST In Stores Now

under Marvel Toy News

This week, it looks like Diamond Select Toys has a lone release. Their great looking Marvel Premier Collection Venom Resin Statue hits comic and specialty shops today. The statue will stand at 12″ tall and features Venom breaking free from a glass enclosure. The statue is priced at $150. You can see a few photos after the jump.

Brains! Venom is back, and DST is celebrating his rebirth with this approximately 12-inch resin statue of the original symbiote!

Breaking out of a glass tank, Venom is at his full power here, and is a must-have item for any Venom fan. Limited to only 3,000 pieces, it comes packaged in a full-color window box with a certificate of authenticity. Sculpted by Alejandro Pereira!

    Would LOVE movie Venom to look like this... sadly, with Marvel not involved with the movie, he'll probably look like a Power Ranger.

    One of the things that's most interesting about DST is that the typically hire freelance sculptors to do some of their work. They actually rarely seem to sculpt much in-house. Gentle Giant does many of their figures, while statues and even some specific action figures, are contracted out.

    Nice sculpt. Except for the buttocks.

    Every other part of the body has the symbiote form-fit to the max, yet the cheeks are strangely... covered?... diaperized?

    Let's just say when you get a better "crack" out of flexing trapezius than your glutes... there's an issue. It's odd.

    I'm not sure who sculpted this in particular but, I believe these statues are art directed by Clayburn Moore, who did a lot of stuff in the 90s and is an absolute beast when it comes to anatomy.

    Anyway, yeah this looks really good. It seems to me that they're trying (successfully) to channel the old Horizon model kit Venom...which IMO is probably the best sculpted Venom out there.

    It’s comics magic. Same reason you can see Rogue’s bellybutton in perfect detail, but nipples are missing... or sabretooth’s leather jumpsuit is so tight you can see veins in his neck, but he’s got no package...

    But really, is it really such a big deal? Do we really wanna see Venom jr flopping about?
