The product stands a “whopping 40 inches” in height and the aesthetic communicates an extremely “aggressive and menacing” pose. In subtle details – from dangerous weapons to broken metal restraints that “emphasize the antihero’s uncontainable power,” PCS Collectibles and Sideshow are able to produce an [authentic statue of Venompool](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skullpanda-x-sanrio). The Venompool figure retails for $2,500 USD.
