Hands On With 19 Inches of Venom

We get up close and personal with the shiny new statue for Marvel's Spider-Man 2 's Collector's Edition.

Marvelā€™s Spider-Man 2 is here, and with it, another entry into the great long history of adaptations of one of Spideyā€™s greatest foes-turned-frenemies in Venom. But do Marvelā€™s Spider-Man fans really care about examining this latest take on the iconic character, or are theyā€¦ interested in a certain amount of inches of him?

ā€œ19 inches of Venomā€ became the rallying cry of the overlapping circles of Spider-Man fans and horny monster lovers alike back in September, when Playstation UK inadvertently set social media on fire advertising the then-upcoming collectorā€™s edition of Marvelā€™s Spider-Man 2, which features a sizeable statue of the gameā€™s take on Venom battling the Spider-Men.

But now, the day is finally here with the actual release of Marvelā€™s Spider-Man 2, and we can indeed treat ourselves to 19 inches of Venom. Didnā€™t manage to snag one of the collectorā€™s editions yourself, or that fancy new PS5? 19 inches of Venom too rich for you? Saving yourself for Hot Toysā€™ 21 inches of him later next year? Have no fear, io9 is here to give you a close-up look on what youā€™re missing out on.
