Spider-Man Advent Calendar - Day 10
Posted by CapnRex101,
Spider-Gwen appeared on day nine, wielding her drumsticks. It would be a shame to supply those accessories without a drum kit emerging shortly afterwards.
Hopefully that will be today...
Indeed it is and this model complements Gwen nicely, mirroring the magenta highlights from her suit. The overall design is quite basic and I would have liked something closer to what we see in Across the Spider-Verse, with more drums and cymbals, as well as a metallic gold cymbal rather than a yellow one. Even so, this complements yesterday's minifigure and does not look bad.
Overall - Though simpler than I would like, it is good to have Gwen's drum kit included.

A drum kit and a lamp.
"The overall design is quite basic and I would have liked something closer to what we see in Across the Spider-Verse, with more drums and cymbals, as well as a metallic gold cymbal rather than a yellow one." One does have to wonder what it would look like if the designer didn't have to abide by the restrictions of an Advent Calendar model.

A fair point, but I think they could have created something a bit more substantial, even with the limits of an Advent Calendar. They managed to do so for the Friends calendar yesterday, as one example.
Well didn't I get lucky today. I got a repeat of the day 7 pieces (the traffic lights with fire hydrant). Guess my Spider Gwen is just gonna stand there with 2 drumsticks in her hands with nothing to hit.

Out there somewhere is a very confused person/child with two drumkits.

At least that kid could combine them to give Gwen a more accurate kit, while RetroBlox gets two traffic lights that I guess you could use in a city build. Win-win!
This is okay, but I'm noticing that 4/6 of the Advent Calendars feel pretty insubstantial lately. Even if they have comparable piece counts, everything feels...smaller.
Harry Potter and Star Wars still feel substantial, but I'm bothered this doesn't come with a second cymbal or a 4x4 plate as a base.
Could replace that cymbal with the umbrella from the hot dog stand and no one would notice

I mean, it’s not like you _can’t_ go around drumming on hydrants and streetlights.

Lol nice thought. It isn't the biggest deal as the marvel advent calendar builds aren't really all that important to me. i would be super annoyed if it had been a figure or the minikit from the star wars calendar

That's what I was going to say!
The drum installation's colors remind me of the Systar System's colors from TLM2.
What is it with these marvel calenders and reminding me of that toy line?
Does that drumkit looks a bit small?

I would be happy if I got a SW minifig in the spider-man calendar, not annoyed. XP

As @sbpyrat observed in today's SWAC countdown article, today's minifig from that calendar would go well with the drumkit.
Animal's drum set from the Muppet CMF line was way better.
Just sayin'
Obviously, the drum that will beat the formidable announcement of gore and destruction from the coming of the dark lord penguin army.

Lol I meant if I opened the day that was supposed to come with a sw figure and it came with something else.

I mean, it's Animal. If you don't give him a sufficient drum kit, who knows what he'll start hitting instead?
