Released in 2020 as part of the Marvel Spider-Man line-up.
Rarity
Common. It is a mass-produced accessory item widely available at LEGO stores and online.
Head
Standard black head with Venom face printing: large white slanted eyes, open mouth with jagged teeth showing a red background.
Torso
Black torso with white spider emblem and muscle definition. Features the large white Venom logos on both front and back. Permanently attached to the chain pin.
Legs
Plain black legs without printing. Hips are also solid black.
Accessories
Metal key ring and chain attached to the head via a metal pin, which is embedded into the torso and head assembly.
Color Scheme
Monochromatic black and white with a small hint of red for the mouth/tongue area.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on torso and head. The white ink is opaque against the black plastic, a hallmark of official LEGO production.
Variants
The figure design is based on the 'sh632' minifigure found in sets like 76150. Other key chains exist with the older 2013-style head.
Condition Notes
The metal chain prevents the head from being removed without damage. Common wear includes light scratches on the torso from keys and potential fading of the white print.
Estimated Value
$5.00 - $8.00 USD for new/unused. Used examples with heavy wear often sell for $1.00 - $3.00.
Price (New)
Retail price is $5.99 / €4.99 / £4.99 at official LEGO outlets.
Compatible Sets

Character Background
Eddie Brock merged with an alien symbiote to become Venom, Spider-Man's most formidable rival-turned-antihero.
Design Notes
Uses the 2019/2020 updated Venom printing style which features more jagged tooth detailing and a slightly different spider logo than the 2013 original.
Similar Minifigures
sh632 (Standard minifig), sh113 (Original Venom), sh303 (Venom with tentacle gear).
Collectibility
Moderate to low for hardcore investors (as it is an accessory), but high for Marvel fans and casual collectors looking for a portable mascot.
History
Follows the evolution of Venom from a simplistic 2013 design to this more aggressive comic-accurate stylization introduced in the late 2010s.
Interesting Facts
The pin goes through both the head and the torso, making the pieces difficult to repurpose for MOCs without a heat gun or drill.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed on a keychain stand or hung from a corkboard. Collectors often clip them to bags or use them as car mirror ornaments.
Modification Potential
Low for purists due to the metal pin. Customizers can remove the chain and use the torso/legs for custom figures if they can fill the small hole in the head.
Overall Assessment
A durable and iconic Marvel accessory. While not a high-value investment piece, it is a perfect representation of the character for everyday use.
