Marvel Advent Calendar - Day 8
Posted by CapnRex101,
Our second seasonal minifigure arrived on day seven, so I expect the next item will have a hard time matching the standard of yesterday, but we will see.
Find out after the break...
When this Advent Calendar was revealed, my eye was drawn to the robotic reindeer on the front of the box and today the reindeer arrives! This is clearly one of Tony Stark's creations, given the dark red and pearl gold colour combination, as well as the arc reactor on its chest. The true purpose of the reindeer is unclear, admittedly, but I think it looks quite nice. A pair of white 2x2 dishes are also supplied and use two web accessories from a few days ago to form cones, oddly. I assume Tony is testing the Reindeer's manoeuvrability.
Overall - A robotic reindeer is undoubtedly unusual, but I think this model is quite fun.

Whoa!
It seems they tried to replace Ace the Bathound with a robot dog from Boston Dynamics. And it seems to be Cyborg's doing, conidering the colors...
And morbidly it seems Clayface has been dealt with as his essence is strung up like pine trees. Brutal!
They look a lot like Christmas trees though, don't they?
Irondolf!
Are they not Christmas trees?
Definitely look more like Christmas trees to me. Albeit perhaps slightly past their best before date...
Kind of weird but better than some boring generic table or something. At least you get some nice gold webs
Today in the LIMBO MARBLES CHRISBUMPS NUMBER BOX, turn Mr. Robot into a deer! Why not?
If this is a test of speed and manoeuvrability then clearly that reindeer is DASH-R
I got only one of the splayed-out web effects on day 4, so when opening today's door I was very confused, so I'm just going to use the extra dish piece to keep the reindeer stable.
I have every confidence that Rutron will make zero attempts to take over the world.

No, that's just the speed; maneuverability is a separate robot reindeer: DANC-R.

We're both agreed it's not VIX-N at least!
Well, cool. That’s honestly a pretty sweet melding of IP theme and seasonal iconography. Well done! This looks like it’s shaping up to be a good AC; I wish I had it.
You know Dasher and Dancer and Prancer and Vixen
Comet and Cupid and Donner and Blitzen
But do you recall?
The greatest reindeer of all?

@GBP_Chris:
Ooh, best not to mention “Kang” and “love” in the same sentence. His casting has not aged well…
