Year Released
2014 and 2015. Released during the height of the Ultimate Spider-Man animated series branding.
Rarity
Uncommon. While not a limited polybag, it appeared in only three sets mid-decade, making it rarer than later common venom variants.
Head
Black head piece with large white slanted eyes, jagged white teeth, and a thin pink line representing the tongue. Single-sided printing.
Torso
Black torso with a large white spider emblem consistent with the classic comic look. Includes grey muscle definition lines and back printing of the spider logo.
Legs
Solid black legs without printing. Includes a standard black hip piece.
Accessories
Usually paired with black web strings or 'tendril' pieces (part 6124) and sometimes black super jumper pieces in its original sets.
Color Scheme
Monochromatic black and white (classic simbionte style) with a small pink accent on the mouth.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on the torso (front and back) and head. Lacks arm or leg printing which was standard for the era.
Variants
Includes sh0033 (2012 version with different mouth), sh0431 (2017 version), and several newer variants with white eyes and more detailed muscle definition.
Condition Notes
Susceptible to 'silvering' or micro-scratches on the torso's black plastic. The white spider print can occasionally chip or fade if played with heavily.
Estimated Value
Used: $5 - $8 USD. New/Mint: $10 - $15 USD. Prices fluctuate based on the popularity of recent Venom movies.
Price (New)
Originally available in sets ranging from $12.99 (76004) to $49.99 (76013).
Compatible Sets
76004 Spider-Cycle Chase, 76013 Batman: The Joker Steam Roller (mis-packed/varied), and 76042 The SHIELD Helicarrier.
Character Background
Eddie Brock merged with the Alien Symbiote. This version represents the classic comic/Ultimate Spider-Man show aesthetic rather than the movie versions.
Design Notes
The pink tongue is the defining feature of this 'sh0113' ID, distinguishing it from the 2012 version which lacked the pink detail.
Similar Minifigures
Venom (sh0033), Venom (sh0431), Carnage (sh0175), and Agent Venom (sh0251).
Collectibility
High demand for Spider-Man completists. It is a stable investment but widely available enough that prices do not skyrocket.
History
Followed the 2012 release; this 2014 version refined the mouth printing to add the pink tongue to better match the animation.
Interesting Facts
The inclusion of this Marvel villain in the DC-themed set 76013 was a rare occurrence of a 'Junior' style set cross-pollination in some regions.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed with a black symbiote tendril piece 6124 attached to the back using a neck bracket.
Modification Potential
Easily upgraded by adding printed legs from newer Venom figures or black claws from the Nexo Knights line.
Overall Assessment
A quintessential Venom minifigure. While missing leg printing, its torso logo is iconic and the face print is highly expressive. Rating: 7/10.
