Spider-Man

Venom

LEGO® Venom (76230) turns Spider-Man's symbiote rival into a standalone buildable head rather than a full play scene. With 297 pieces across 100 distinct parts, the set concentrates entirely on capturing the character's snarling jaw and lolling tongue. There isn't a single minifigure in the box, which sets it apart from most other 2022 Marvel sets.

Description

A head, not a scene

Where many LEGO Marvel sets combine a vehicle or building with a minifigure or two, 76230 skips all of that and puts every brick towards one sculptural head. That focus explains the relatively high part variety of 100 different elements against a modest 297-piece count: building a convincing jawline, rows of teeth and a tongue needs lots of small, purpose-shaped pieces rather than big flat panels. The build itself moves through clear stages, starting with an internal frame before layering on the jaw, teeth and tongue detail on top. It plays more like a display model than a toy, and it comfortably fits into one or two building sessions.

A tight, graphic colour scheme

Black, light bluish grey, dark bluish grey and white are the only colours here, and that restraint is deliberate: it lets the stark white eyes and teeth read clearly against Venom's dark, muscular skin. The result is a striking, almost poster-like object rather than a busy multicoloured build, which makes it sit comfortably on a shelf next to other comic-style pieces or dark-toned collectibles. Because so few colours are used, every surface feels intentional rather than arbitrary. The parts list on this page breaks down exactly how much of each grey and black tone is used, which is handy if you ever need replacement bricks.

Who this set suits

This is a set for people who enjoy building over playing, and specifically for fans of LEGO's buildable-head format used across several Marvel characters. Because there are no minifigures, it works better as a desk or shelf piece than as the centre of an action scene, sitting comfortably alongside books or other collectibles. Builders curious about how LEGO engineers expressive faces from studs and slopes will find plenty to study in how the jaw and tongue are constructed, and the modest part count makes it an approachable entry point before tackling larger busts in the same format.

Finding parts for other projects

The parts list on this page is a quick way to check which black and grey elements the set includes, useful if you want to track down individual pieces for repairs or custom builds. Several of Venom's specialised dark parts turn up again in other monstrous or shadowy figures from the same size class, making them worth remembering for future projects. Anyone collecting multiple busts from this format can also use the list to spot which parts repeat between sets.
