Rarity
Uncommon. While widely available in 2014-2015, this specific variant with the white torso printing and open mouth has been surpassed by newer iterations, making it a target for collectors of specific era variants.
Head
Black LEGO head with a dual-sided or single-sided print (depending on specific set release) featuring large white jagged symbiote eyes and a wide mouth displaying sharp teeth and a red/pink tongue. No hair or headgear required.
Torso
Black torso with white printing. Focus is on a large, stylized white spider emblem with multiple legs stretching toward the shoulders. Includes abdominal muscle definition in light grey/white. Back printing features the continuation of the spider legs and muscle definition.
Legs
Plain black legs without printing. Standard hip piece in black.
Accessories
Typically comes with 'Super Jumper' elements or black web/tentacle pieces (part 15064) in various sets, though none are shown in the image.
Color Scheme
Monochromatic black and white with a small splash of red for the mouth/tongue area. High contrast aesthetic typical of the Venom character.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on the torso and head. The white ink is opaque enough to stand out against the black plastic without appearing grey, which was a high standard for 2014.
Variants
Standard Venom (sh113) has a black mouth. A very similar version (sh055) appeared in 2013 with a different eye shape. Later versions (sh632) feature the 'venomous' transformation or different spider emblem sizes.
Condition Notes
Main concerns are 'torso cracks' under the arms and fading of the white spider print on the chest due to play wear. Check the neck stud for 'head-drag' marks.
Estimated Value
Used: $5.00 - $8.00 USD; New: $12.00 - $15.00 USD. Value is stable as he is a core Marvel villain.
Price (New)
Originally available in sets ranging from $12.99 (Junior sets) to $49.99 (Batman: The Joker Steam Roller).
Compatible Sets
76013 Batman: The Joker Steam Roller (2014); 76004 Spider-Man: Spider-Cycle Chase (earlier variant); 10665 Spider-Man: Spider-Car Pursuit.
Character Background
Eddie Brock (or Flash Thompson) bonded with an alien symbiote that originally belonged to Peter Parker. He possesses all of Spider-Man's powers but with increased strength and a darker temperament.
Design Notes
This design was heavily influenced by the 'Ultimate Spider-Man' animated series, emphasizing a bulky, aggressive look rather than the slender classic comic look.
Similar Minifigures
sh055 Venom (2013), sh632 Venom (2020), sh740 Carnage, and various Spider-Man iterations (sh038).
Collectibility
High for Marvel completionists. While not the most expensive Venom, it is considered the 'definitive' 2010s-era version of the character.
History
Venom first appeared in LEGO form in 2013. This 2014 version refined the mouth printing and helped establish the character as a mainstay in the Marvel Super Heroes line.
Interesting Facts
Despite being a Spider-Man villain, this specific ID (sh113) was famously included in a DC Batman set (76013) as a 'bonus' figure in some regions or cross-promotional efforts.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed fighting a classic Spider-Man minifigure or paired with his 'offspring' Carnage. Use black vine/tendril pieces to create a 'symbiote' explosion effect.
Modification Potential
Excellent for MOCs. The torso is often used for custom 'Agent Venom' figures or black-suit Spider-Man customs if the head is swapped for a masked Peter Parker head.
Overall Assessment
A solid, mid-tier collectible. It perfectly captures the menacing essence of the character with clean, iconic printing. A must-have for the 2012-2016 LEGO Marvel era collectors.
