Spider-Man Advent Calendar - Day 21
Posted by CapnRex101,
Green Goblin's glider was presented yesterday, featuring an interesting clip on the back. I think we will find whatever attaches to that clip today, behind door 21.
Let's open it and see...
This sled is decidedly basic and lacks any specific Green Goblin styling, but its colour scheme matches the glider, at least. Bright green, red, white and pearl gold are seasonal colours and I like the golden runners in particular. Even so, I wish there was a detail relating this back to the villain somehow, perhaps as rudimentary as some decorative spikes.
However, I think the glider and sled look pretty good once connected. The studs on the sled can be used for Green Goblin's accessories from day nineteen, although I expect tomorrow will offer some different accessories.
Overall - The sled is dull by itself, but does complement yesterday's glider.

Spidey smells

Broke its wheel
And the Goblin got away...with a lame sled build for Day 21.
I dunno, I just feel that’s too many colours in too small a build. I realise they’re going for the Goblin’s colours so felt they had to get the green in there but it just feels too busy, I’d have stuck with just red and white with the gold trimmings
I wonder if this would have worked better with a click hinge; the sleigh isn’t going to stay level with that connection very easily.
Guardians of the Galaxy did basically the same thing two years ago. I think they wasted 3 days on something that looked like a kiddie ride pulling a sack.
I like the colors. Green works as festive too. It's a bit of a stretch to have it behind the glider but ah well.
Can Spider-man come out to sleigh?
Anyone else get a dupe of day 12 and not day 21 today?
This just makes it more annoying that the Goblin figure wasn't festive.

Bright-green just makes it look like Dollar Store deco. The darker the green, the fancier it looks. If you want to make it seem really luxurious, go with dark-red and dark-green. But if you want to prove that you should be banished from civilization, use dark-red and bright-green.

Four days for Rocket to cook a turkey, and three for the Milano-sleigh-thingy. Yeah, that year was the result of someone coming up with a list of decent minifigs and trying to justify them by adding in two solid weeks of filler.
Weee!
