"Venomized Groot earns a middling BrickScore of 66.4 across both reviews — a fun collector's novelty with a clever dual-build twist, but hampered by fragile tentacles, a sticker-heavy finish, and a build that barely evolves beyond the 2022 original."
Both reviewers land in mixed-but-leaning-average territory on Venomized Groot, praising its clever dual-build concept and strong character mashup visuals while flagging real construction frustrations. The partial venomization is considered well executed and the figure displays nicely alongside other Groot variants, but fiddly tentacle assembly, fragile connections, and a heavy reliance on stickers hold it back. Neither reviewer gives an outright recommendation, and both note the set is essentially the same construction as the 2022 I Am Groot (76217) with a new aesthetic coat of paint.
Where they split: Both reviewers agree broadly on strengths and weaknesses, but diverge slightly on design aesthetics: BricksFanz scored it higher (72) and appreciated how Venom's visual control is mixed with Groot's normal form, while Hoth Bricks scored it lower (55) and found the overall result "visually messy in places."

"It's visually a little messy in places, the head is a little fragile even if the figurine is stable on its supports"
Hoth Bricks"These are very fiddly to buildable, especially attaching the teeth to the 2×2 dome plates and they are easily knocked away from the body due to the connection method used to fix them to Groot."
