Alas, dear readers, I have terrible news. Disturbing, even. We have been lied to about the size of Marvel’s Spider-Man 2‘s Collector’s Edition’s Venom. Despite Sony’s offer to treat ourselves to 19 inches of Venom, Venom is in fact, upon a thorough investigation conducted by io9 today, just shy of 14 inches tall—closer to twelve, if you if you take the base out of consideration.
Hell, the statue itself barely hits 18 and a half inches, from the very bottom to the highest tip of Peter Parker’s fingers. The deception! It’s a good job Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 is a pretty decent video game, otherwise this would just be insult to injury.
