Honestly though, this figure does not work really well on a legends display, because he is just too tall. I know Venom's been drawn at a varying degree of sizes over the years depending on the artist, but this figure is taller than the Green Goblin BAF, which was based off of the Avengers Incredible Hulk, which makes Venom nearly ten feet tall if you were to compare him the Spidey. Brock is about 6'3", and if you use the Eric Larsen "Brock transformation" head, it looks ridiculous when posed next to Spidey...Brock's head is like two feet tall!

actually, that is a Mark Bagley transformation head... I know, coz when I was a teenager I had a poster of that signed by Mark, in person... it was used on the Larson collection graphic novels.

Anyway, I just got this as well, and I use it for a classic poster I had as a kid, with Venom and Carnage surrounding Spider-Man. works well... Venom's size is ALL over the place in the comics, so he gets some slack. I want him monstrous. (Minimate Spider-man is a stand-in til I get a decent comics Infinite Spidey)
