Funko Pop! Marvel: Venom - Venomized Kingpin #883 (Funko Shop Exclusive)

This item is a collectible vinyl bobble-head figure produced by Funko, representing a 'Venomized' version of the Marvel character Kingpin (Wilson Fisk). The figure stands approximately 4 inches tall and is constructed from molded vinyl with a spring-mounted head. It features a strikingly detailed sculpt where the black symbiotic material of Venom is shown consuming or merging with Kingpin's iconic white suit. Notable design elements include a wide, jagged mouth filled with numerous yellowish teeth, elongated white eyes, and a black 'dripping' texture over the torso. The figure holds a black cane with a yellow gem topper. It is housed in its original window-box packaging, which primarily consists of white and black Cardstock with clear plastic windows. The box displays the 'Funko Shop Exclusive' blue crown sticker on the front window, indicating its limited distribution status. The packaging appears to be in very good to near-mint condition, showing sharp corners and clear windows without significant scuffing or crushing. The manufacturing markings include the Funko Pop! logo, Marvel Venom series branding, and the specific number 883. This item was manufactured circa 2021 as part of the popular 'Venom On' series expansion.

Based on my visual examination of the Venomized Kingpin #883 Funko Shop Exclusive, the item appears to be in Near Mint (NM) condition. The box integrity is excellent, with sharp corners, clear window plastic, and no visible 'creasing' or sun-fading on the white cardstock. The 'Funko Shop Exclusive' sticker is correctly positioned, featuring the authentic blue crown logo. The paint application on the figure—particularly the transition from the black symbiote to the white suit—shows high production quality consistent with official Funko manufacturing. This specific figure was part of a mass-produced exclusive series in 2021; while it is a limited distribution item, high production numbers for the 'Venom On' line have kept market supply steady. Market comparables from recent online auctions and hobbyist marketplaces show a consistent trading range between $15 and $25 USD, rarely exceeding its original MSRP significantly due to the high volume of surviving specimens in mint condition. The primary value drivers are the crossover appeal between Kingpin and Venom fans and the 'Funko Shop' exclusivity. However, a definitive authentication cannot be confirmed through images alone. In-person inspection is required to verify the 'feet stamp' (serial production code), the bottom-of-box (BOB) sticker or print matching, and the tactile quality of the vinyl. Digital images can mask subtle box re-gluing or high-quality counterfeit packaging. For a full authentication, I would recommend verifying the digital order receipt from the Funko Shop and conducting a physical UV light test on the box to ensure no restoration has occurred.
