Spider-Man Advent Calendar - Day 20

Posted by ,

It seems Spider-Man's Christmas may not be as peaceful as he hoped, after the arrival of Green Goblin, armed with a pumpkin bomb and ready to cause trouble.

More equipment for the villain could appear on day twenty...


Green Goblin rarely appears without some version of his glider and this example is Christmas-themed. The red, green, pearl gold and white colours are superb, while the shape of the glider looks remarkably sleek. I love the articulated wings in particular, with pointed edges lending the whole model a mean appearance.

The minifigure can sit or stand atop his glider and feels secure either way, although this again makes me think how much better Green Goblin would potentially look dressed as a Christmas elf!

Overall - This is a nice model of the Goblin's glider and its festive colours are appealing.

A Spidey build with an appreciative festive twist, why couldn’t more of the calendar have been like this?

I do appreciate a good Christmas mini build of this nature. The Guardians mini sled takes some beating though.

Osbornes and Osbournes also? And is this the Spirit of Christmas talking?

It's Spider-man themed and festive. I have no complaints here. This makes it better than most of the things in this calender.

Still though, is it just me or did we get 'one' new part this entire calender with Miles' shirt? If so... it would explain why most of the builds in this calender feel a bit like using leftovers to build something. In this case for example it's nice to get a Green Goblin... but a festive one would have made this feel a bit more special. Star Wars have been doing it since 2011, so I wonder why Marvel can't? I mean, we've had a 'Venomized' Green Goblin this same year! It's not like they can't make any new versions of characters...?

That's exactly what I thought when I saw this. It could've been so awesome.

You know I'm something of a flying, magical elf myself.

I just realized that’s not the normal Christmas elf hat.

One Osbourne sang "Iron Man," so Spidey's probably cool with him. Can't speak for @Ridgeheart, though.

Green. He would look very green.

Replace the purple with red and a few splashes of white. That's what these highly-priced ACs are supposed to be about.
