They are two completely different brands with different points of articulation and scale, and neither work particularly well with the other.

Personally, I don't care for the Select Venom. But then, I'm not a fan of the Select toys in general. Venom though, he just looks off to me. It doesn't help that he comes with those ugly overdone heads that popped onto his shoulders in that one story (which is when I really started to despise Venom and the symbiotes in general).

That's what I was trying to figure out too. Maybe he was supposed to be in the next Avengers BAF wave but that was axed for the Civil War line and they wanted to do Overkill Red Skull instead? They really should have done someone far more important like Kingpin or a Spider Slayer.

Honestly though, outside of Fisk, I can't really think of too many more huge villains Spidey has. Maybe they should have done a really nice Doctor Octopus?

To be fair, Ghost Rider has teamed up with Spidey on several occasions.

Anyway, here is an updated list of my Spider-Man wants:

Classic Green Goblin
Classic Electro (or at least, a comic accurate one)
Doctor Octopus
Kingpin
Sleepwalker (he can even come with a hoodless head to put on a Spidey body)
Sandman
Mysterio
Vulture
Scorpion
Lizard
