Spider-Man minifig gallery finished already

 

  • Spider-Man minifig gallery finished already

    Posted by Huw, 30 Jan 2011 04:39. Filed under Brickset.

    Thanks to my wife having the hairdresser round yesterday morning (if you have a wife or girlfriend you'll know how long that takes!) and then a football (soccer) match on the TV featuring one of our local teams (Southampton) on Sky Sports yesterday which she was glued to, I had some time to photograph the Spider-Man figs which you can now see in all their glory in the Spider-Man minifig gallery.

    in 2002 when he first made an appearance, Spider-Man sets were a sub-theme of Studios, along with dinosaurs, werewolves, vampires and various other movie characters. Spider-Man became a theme in its own right in 2003, and continued in 2004. It was therefore right across the old grey/yellow head / new grey/flesh head boundary.

    The Studios sets contained minifigs which BrickLink considers to belong to other themes, so these are not included in the gallery, and neither are figures from the 4Juniors sets.

awesome minifigs huw! cant for the next one, what is it?

Posted by StarWars17 in Australia, 30 Jan 2011 05:38

I actually never knew this, but i bought the Spider man set 4852 and it said it was made in Korea! :(

Great pictures Huw! I always thought it was a pity that the theme came to an end after Spider-Man 2, I would have loved to see some sets from Spider-Man 3, and in particular, figures like Venom and Sandman, they would have been amazing! I wonder if they'll ever re-launch the theme, with the new movie in production and all.

@Huw - Could you please make a Star Wars Mini-fig Gallery :), I mean i know it's a overwhelming amount of Mini-figures. And maybe you could do a Star Wars Creature Gallery perhaps. Anyway just some suggestions.

Posted by Legolijntje in Netherlands, 30 Jan 2011 05:45

Great pictures! What would be the next theme? Star Wars? ;-)
Or maybe Atlantis or Adventurers or Spongebob or Vikings ... There are many themes to choose from, but I think you don't have all the minifigs or enough time.

I love these Minifigure Galleries!! Keep em coming. Throw a Star Wars one at us!

Posted by Brickman193 in Australia, 30 Jan 2011 06:26

Nice job!

Posted by Brickman193 in Australia, 30 Jan 2011 06:27

Castle Fantasy would be a cool theme for a gallery - Knights, Wizards, Dwarves and Trolls! =D

Great Job again!!!

Posted by modena in Italy, 30 Jan 2011 06:47

Great job! And pretty fast!
I hope The Star Wars Minifig Gallery will come out soon!

Posted by modena in Italy, 30 Jan 2011 07:01

There are actually lots of themes to chose from, not only licensed. However, I think the licensed should be prioritized. They are a bit more known.

Posted by Huw in United Kingdom, 30 Jan 2011 07:04

Likely candidates for the next galleries are Aquazone (original series), Western, post classic space, Vikings, fantasy era Castle, Exo-Force, collectable minifigures.

I will be doing Star Wars but not yet, for reasons that will be come apparent later in the year.

Posted by aveal in Mexico, 30 Jan 2011 07:39

My votes go fantasy era or post classic space. is it just me or the minifig list for space is a bit a mess?
Anyway keep up the good work, it´s such a better way to look at minifigs=)

I wish my wife would occupy herself for hours at a time on the weekends...oh, yeah, the Legos! Great work once more. Thanks for all your efforts.

Posted by PaulTR in United States, 30 Jan 2011 08:45

Absolutel outstanding! These galleries are amazing, and I appreciate the work you put into them. As a humble suggestion, I wonder if it would be possible to make a minifigure accesory gallery. I know it would take a LONG time for it to be made, but wouldn't it be cool to see every accesory in creation listed?

Posted by Alemas in Germany, 30 Jan 2011 09:12

Great job Huw! *Rolls eyes* Your wife is a football fan?... :P Sounds so... strange. :P

Posted by Alemas in Germany, 30 Jan 2011 09:23

BTW, a bit off-topic, but interesting: On 24th January, Brickset got 5 million page views! :) GO BRICKSET! :)

Posted by Huw in United Kingdom, 30 Jan 2011 09:39

^ That's page views over a 30 day period and on the 24th that's the highest it's ever been. That's an average of c.161,000 a day.

Posted by Alemas in Germany, 30 Jan 2011 09:47

Huw, there are two Huws in the "Online Now" list! :P

Posted by spency13 in United States, 30 Jan 2011 10:05

Do spongebob, huw!! It'll be easy!! But, great job on all the galleries.

Posted by carding in United Kingdom, 30 Jan 2011 10:18

Looks great but you can't make out the hands of the ambulance driver.

Posted by Huw in United Kingdom, 30 Jan 2011 11:25

^White on white, what do you expect :-)

^^^ On my PC and iPad at the same time, while reassembling the Western figs for the next gallery...

Posted by Alemas in Germany, 30 Jan 2011 11:28

@Huw: YAY! :) WESTERN! :)

Posted by broomhandle in United States, 30 Jan 2011 11:34

time cruisers would be easier than sponge bob, not even a year out!
star wars I bet will take some time, and always updating.
Great job on the lighting, and keeping the setup the same, great work!

Posted by Zacherano in United States, 30 Jan 2011 13:44

Thanks for the awesome new Spider Man gallery Huw! I really like this one, and the photography is brilliant. :-)

Posted by Captain Maersk in United States, 30 Jan 2011 14:14

Thanks for the great work Huw! I will be eagerly awaiting the Western minifig gallery. It is one of my most favorite themes. Bummer I only bought 3 of the sets while they were out. I never was too interested in the Native sets and now I regret passing them up. Keep up the great work!

Posted by ceroknight in Canada, 30 Jan 2011 14:40

@starwars17:whats wrong with that? :|
Thank you huw for doing this, I can't wait for future pictures.

Posted by KLOKRIECHER in United States, 30 Jan 2011 14:48

Awsome galleries. I'm looking forward to see the next minifig galleries. :-)
Did you check out my galleries on my website? It's called www.klokriecher.de.

Posted by Zacherano in United States, 30 Jan 2011 14:59

Cool gallery, thanks!

Posted by cjg in United States, 30 Jan 2011 16:35

Collectible minifigs would be a cool one. Maybe if you do a SW gallery, you could do only certain episodes at a time. Or have other people do some of the other episodes.

Posted by Greyface in United States, 30 Jan 2011 17:30

@Huw - are these going to be updated? Like when the new Harry Potter sets come out, will you update those?

Posted by legomancooper in United States, 30 Jan 2011 18:08

Huw, are you telling me that you have ALL of the minifigures in these gallerys? then i would know you are the real LEGO guru.

Posted by wiredforsound in United States, 30 Jan 2011 21:02

You are missing the 1376 set from the Spiderman figure list. The figure is the same as the one used for 4853, 4854, 4855, 4856, 4857 which means its first appearance is actually 2002.

Posted by 1265 in United States, 30 Jan 2011 22:30

@wiredforsound - That Spiderman figure is the same as in 4851 and 4852. However, it should be it's own figure since it comes with a neck bracket.

Posted by StarWars17 in Australia, 31 Jan 2011 04:26

@CeroKnight
It's meant to be made in Denmark, Hungary, Sweden, Austria, Switzerland, Germany, China, Mexico or the Czech Republic :(

Posted by knuclear200x in United States, 31 Jan 2011 13:32

With the release of Universe, its long long LONG overdue for the return of the Doc Ock tentacle backpack thing. which must be where it debuted i guess...

Posted by Huw in United Kingdom, 31 Jan 2011 15:26

@1265 & wiredforsound: you are right: I've added that fig separately now.

Posted by BobaFett2 in United States, 31 Jan 2011 19:35

Actually, the subtheme was Jurassic Park 3. Not Dinosaurs. Anyways-great job, I'm amazed that you have all those Batman figs, Spider-Man figs, Prince of Persia figs, and more.

Posted by legoDad42 in United States, 31 Jan 2011 19:58

Rockin' the figs again. Loving it.
You know, I'd love to see when you have a chance, Agents figs. The villains are excellent.

Posted by legoguy2805 in United Kingdom, 01 Feb 2011 03:18

Great job with the Toy Story and Spider-Man galleries, Huw! Since you're doing mainly licensed themes at the moment, is there any chance you will be doing a Avatar minifig gallery soon?

Posted by plantbit in Australia, 01 Feb 2011 04:14

Huw, I don't care if people don't like how the minifigs look with the white. I think you have captured them and adjusted them quite well. I would like to see the Series 3 minifig gallery with your pics. I just noticed today that there are 2 types of each for Series 3. This should be fixed as they normally come with all their equipment. Just something to slot into your plans.

Posted by Huw in United Kingdom, 01 Feb 2011 08:07

^ I was wondering whether to include their 'equipment' when I do them. What's the consensus?

^^ I do hope to do all licenced themes except NBA and I won't be doing Star Wars until later in the year (a) because I don't have all the figs and (b) because of another related project I am working on.

Posted by 1265 in United States, 01 Feb 2011 14:00

+1 doing the "equipment" with the figs.

Posted by K@czor in Poland, 02 Feb 2011 03:41

@Huw - The Spider-Man minifig with neck bracket is actually from 2002, not 2003, because the set itself is from 2002 :)

Why not NBA? They're pretty unique minifigs I think :) Lots of them :P

Also, I'm against adding the equipment to the Collectible Minifigs - The minifig is a minifig, while the minifig with equipment is a set, I think :)

Another thing is: the links to the minifigs you've already done in the 'Galleries featuring photos from BrickLink' are obsolete, because they redirect to your minifig photos anyway :)

Posted by Huw in United Kingdom, 02 Feb 2011 04:16

^ NBA is of no interest to anyone outside the USA and I don't have the figures and have no intention of getting them. That said, if someone does have them all and can photograph them to this standard then I'd be happy to add them.

^ I agree with you re: the equipment. Including it potentially makes it difficult to photograph them to the same size and standard as the others (think fishing rod)

^ I've left the galleries featuring photos from BrickLink links in place because even though they no longer show the BrickLink images (so I guess should be renamed) they do show an alternative view of the figs and sets which some may find useful still.

So... What's next? Western?
