Character Background
Based on the version seen in 'The LEGO Batman Movie', this design parodies the 2012 Dark Knight Rises film while maintaining the size of the comic book 'Venom' enhanced villain.

Uses the newer Big-fig mold style with removable arms. The vest/fur combo is a unique texture for the Big-fig line.

Collectibility
High for Batman collectors and completionsists of The LEGO Batman Movie line. Remains the most detailed 'Bane' big-fig to date.
History
Follows the evolution from the first 2007 minifigure-scale Bane to the massive Big-fig versions introduced in the mid-2010s to reflect his size in the comics.
Interesting Facts
The fur collar is a direct nod to the iconic shearling coat worn by Tom Hardy in the 2012 film, despite the mask being more comic-accurate.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed alongside the Bane Toxic Truck or in a Gotham City diorama. Looks excellent positioned as a physical threat to the sh312 Batman.
Modification Potential
Arms can be swapped with other Big-fig arms (like Hulk or Darkseid) for custom looks. The back has two studs for custom-built venom tanks.
Overall Assessment
A fantastic translation of a movie-inspired character into the LEGO Big-fig format. Solid build quality and excellent printing make it a standout for DC fans.
