El Venenoide from the
2021 Marvel Lucha Libre Edition line stood out as one of the most distinctive releases in the Funko Soda range, especially for collectors who focused on low-run items. Limited to only 12,500 pieces worldwide, this Soda SODA Canister figure gave fans a stylized luchador take on a symbiote-inspired fighter, making it a strong choice for anyone who wanted something different from standard superhero designs. Its rarity and crossover appeal between Marvel and wrestling themes made it a frequent centerpiece in display shelves.
This El Venenoide Soda release came in the signature SODA Canister packaging and matched the compact, display-friendly scale collectors expected from the line. The figure showed El Venenoide in a squared-up stance with clenched fists, an intense, narrowed-eyed expression, and a prominent red tongue extending from his mouth. He wore a black and gray mask with bold, angular patterns, a white chest emblem over his torso, black tights, gray boots, and black wristbands, giving the character a clean, high-contrast look that photographed and displayed well in-box or loose.
As part of the Marvel Lucha Libre Edition, El Venenoide 2021 Marvel Lucha Libre Edition Soda connected Marvel-style character concepts with classic lucha libre aesthetics, reimagining familiar themes through wrestling personas. The Soda category offered an alternative to standard POP! vinyl figures, appealing to collectors who preferred canister-style packaging, limited production runs, and a cohesive line that blended comics culture with wrestling-inspired character designs.
