"The Venom bust scores 68.9 on the BrickScore and lands in Mixed Reviews: for dedicated fans of the character it is a genuinely enjoyable build and a strong display piece, but its limited parts value and purely ornamental final form make it a harder sell for general LEGO collectors."
The Venom bust is a character display piece that owners clearly enjoy, earning a 4.8-star average across 3,636 ratings, the majority of which are enthusiastic fan purchases. The expert consensus, however, is more measured: a BrickScore of 71.2 in the Mixed Reviews tier reflects strong display value (71.5) and adequate build experience (64.9) offset by weak playability (42.8) and parts value (51.5). The set works best as a shelf piece for Venom fans rather than a substantive building challenge or parts haul.
Where they split: The main tension is between the enthusiastic fan response (4.8 stars, 86% recommendation rate) and the more reserved expert assessment (BrickScore 68.9). Fans rate it highly as a character piece; the expert scoring penalizes its limited playability and parts value, which is a fair distinction for non-fans.
