Venompool is the name given to a character that users can play at in the "hugely popular" mobile game that is titled ‘Marvel Contest of Champions.’ The character takes inspiration from the quite hilarious anti-hero Deadpool who "has been infected with the Venom symbiote."
Realizing the fan potential of a hybrid character such as Venompool, Sideshow and PCS Collectibles create a statue that will surely deadlight fans. 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.
The Venompool figure retails for $2,500 USD.
