Marvel Rivals' most unexpected fan-favorite pairing is getting a dedicated Marvel Legends 2-pack. Confirmed via Hasbro Pulse's official announcement and reported by Marvelous News, the Marvel Legends Marvel Rivals Venom & Jeff the Land Shark 2-Pack opened for pre-order April 29, 2026 at 1pm EDT, part of Marvel Rivals Wave 1 with a Summer 2026 release window.
This is a confirmed release with a locked pre-order date, so here's what's included and why this pairing matters more than a novelty pack-in.
Hasbro Pulse's official announcement, as reported by Marvelous News, confirms the following:
Jeff the Land Shark has become one of Marvel Rivals' most unexpectedly popular characters, so bundling him directly with Venom gives collectors a way to secure the fan-favorite land shark without needing a separate single-figure release, while also reflecting how the two characters are frequently paired in-game. That pairing helps the set feel intentional instead of random, especially for players who already associate Jeff with the game's lighter, meme-friendly energy.
For collectors, that matters because Jeff is the type of character who can easily become the hidden reason a multipack sells out faster than expected. Venom brings the obvious marquee name, but Jeff gives the release its personality and distinctiveness.
Since these figures are based on Marvel Rivals' in-game character models rather than comic or film appearances, collectors specifically invested in the game's visual style get a more accurate match to what they see on screen than a comic-continuity figure would offer. That is especially useful in a crossover-heavy Marvel collecting space where the same characters already exist in multiple visual interpretations.
For a Marvel Rivals collector, that difference is not cosmetic trivia. The whole point is that these releases preserve the identity of the game itself rather than defaulting back to a safer comic version of Venom.
Releasing alongside individual Spider-Man and Moon Knight figures, this Venom & Jeff 2-pack gives Marvel Rivals fans a fuller roster of game-accurate figures to collect from the same wave, rather than a single isolated crossover release. That makes the 2-pack easier to understand as part of a deliberate line build-out rather than a quirky one-off experiment.
Collectors planning around Wave 1 should also think about how the 2-pack changes the shape of the lineup. It adds a bundle-style release to a wave that might otherwise feel like a run of straightforward solo-character offerings.
Venom alone already has strong shelf presence, but Jeff changes the tone of the display in a way another large character probably would not. The contrast between Venom's heavier design and Jeff's smaller, more playful appeal gives the set a visual dynamic that can stand out even among other Marvel Legends releases.
That contrast is part of why this pack has broader collector appeal than a routine game tie-in. It is not only about owning another Venom. It is about owning a pairing that feels specific to the Marvel Rivals moment.
For displaying both figures from the 2-pack together, EVORETRO's acrylic modular case keeps Venom and Jeff protected side by side. A shared case makes sense here because the appeal of the set comes from the duo relationship, not just from one figure carrying the whole release.
For a dynamic display pose highlighting Venom's game-based design, EVORETRO's 4-step acrylic display stand adds shelf presence. Using a riser or elevation also helps Jeff stay visible instead of disappearing next to Venom's larger silhouette.
This release is strongest for Marvel Rivals players who want game-accurate shelf pieces, Marvel Legends collectors who like character bundles with clear theme logic, and Jeff fans who do not want to gamble on waiting for a possible standalone figure that may never come. It also works well for buyers who prefer a more playful display mix instead of only serious, heavy-hitter Marvel characters.
It is a weaker fit for someone who only wants comic-accurate Marvel Legends versions of these characters. The game tie-in is central to the value here.
Even though the opening date has already been announced, multipacks tied to an active game can surprise collectors by moving faster than expected once character popularity spills beyond the usual action-figure audience. Jeff especially creates that kind of crossover appeal, because interest in him often comes from humor and fandom energy rather than from standard completionist habits.
That means the safest approach is still to treat the pre-order window seriously instead of assuming the pack will sit around like a routine side release. A Marvel Rivals item with both Venom and Jeff has more built-in attention than it may first appear to have.
The most important details to keep straight are the April 29, 2026 pre-order opening time, the retailer list, and the Summer 2026 release window. Those details matter because a game-based multipack with a surprise fan-favorite like Jeff can get more attention than a buyer expects at first glance.
It also helps to decide whether you are collecting Marvel Rivals specifically or just Venom-adjacent releases more broadly. That makes it easier to judge whether the 2-pack is a must-buy or just a fun optional add-on.

This Venom & Jeff the Land Shark 2-pack gives Marvel Rivals fans a dedicated game-accurate release for one of the title's most popular pairings, with pre-orders already open ahead of a Summer 2026 release. The biggest draw is that the pack feels genuinely tied to the game's identity rather than just borrowing Marvel names.
Securing a pre-order now avoids missing the wave. Having a case and stand ready means both figures will be properly displayed once they arrive.
