For me it is, well worth it. I like it in terms of size, proportions, and dynamic pose (not 100% happy with the tongue portrait, although it´s my favorite... not for quality, but desing, that's just me) The 3 headsculpts are a big plus, y really loved how the McFarlane's head looks (imo better than any other venom statue).
The symbiots on the ground are perfect! you can add them or just take them away (unlike P1 you can't take them away and are on the body), but I like them, it's a more dynamic touch.
As for the details it does have different tones on skin, also symbiotic stuff around the body, and the base don't minimize venom, and "tells" a story.
The price; well yeah it is very expensive, compared to what I usually collect (dinosaurs, aliens, dragons, kaijus...) but it's the price these movie/comic's statues usually sells for due the high demand... I mean I have better statues with higher level of details (scales, skin texture, sharper teeth...), more limited, some even are unique in the world... that costs me less than a quarter of the Venom price, but I really like venom and I had to have it... So if you really like him, go for it. If not, wait for something you like without questioning, there are a lot of customs coming out and the movie is this year.
