LEGO has revealed the Marvel Venom Bust (76356): 413 pieces, a removable tongue and a Venom minifigure — the bust collection turns properly sinister.

Venom Finally Joins the Bust Collection

LEGO has revealed the Venom Bust (76356) — a 413-piece display model of the symbiote as he appeared in 2018’s Venom, complete with a decorative nameplate on the pedestal and a Venom minifigure to pose alongside it. It joins the growing Marvel Bust Collection in LEGO’s adults range, and it is the first entry that leans properly villainous.

🕷️ This story is part of our LEGO Marvel hub — every Marvel set we have built and rated, from the Daily Bugle to Avengers Tower.

Why It Matters for Dads

The Marvel Bust Collection has quietly become the most dad-compatible corner of LEGO’s adults range: compact footprint, real shelf presence, and a piece count that fits actual life. At 413 pieces, this is a one-or-two-evening build after bedtime — not a three-week dining-table occupation you have to negotiate with the family.

And Venom is a genuinely good pick for the treatment. The official renders show the muscular physique, veins, eyes and that famous mouth in vivid detail — and the teeth and tongue can be removed to alter the appearance, which is exactly the kind of party trick that gets a “whoa” out of visiting kids before they are told, firmly, not to touch it. If you want to revisit the source material first, our Venom (2018) review covers the exact movie this bust is modeled on, and the whole chaotic corner of the franchise — sequels included — lives in our Sony Marvel Universe hub.

One honest note, though: “displayed alongside others in the Marvel Bust Collection (sold separately)” is LEGO politely announcing another collect-them-all treadmill. Budget for the bust you actually love, not the complete shelf — for more gift-sized options in this universe, our Spider-Man gift guide has the full range.

What’s Next

The set is listed on LEGO.com; an Amazon listing had no ASIN yet when we published, and we will wire it in the moment it goes live. This one sits high on our own wishlist — expect a full hands-on review with our own photos once it is built and on the shelf.

The Dadnology Take

The bust format is LEGO’s best idea for grown-ups with limited shelf space and even more limited evenings, and Venom is the most characterful subject it has had yet. A 413-piece build with a removable tongue and real display presence is an easy recommendation to get excited about — we will confirm whether it delivers when ours is built.

How many pieces does the LEGO Venom Bust (76356) have?

The Venom Bust has 413 pieces and measures over 17 cm (6.5 in.) high, 17 cm (6.5 in.) wide and 12 cm (5 in.) deep — a compact display piece rather than a shelf-eating monster.

Does the LEGO Venom Bust (76356) include a minifigure?

Yes. A Venom minifigure is included, and the pedestal with its decorative nameplate has an option to display the minifigure alongside the completed bust.

How much does the LEGO Venom Bust (76356) cost?

Check the official LEGO.com product page for current pricing in your region. An Amazon listing was not yet live at the time of writing — we will add it as soon as it appears.
