Spider-Man Advent Calendar - Day 23
Posted by CapnRex101,
Green Goblin's glider is laden with presents and ready to go, so I am interested to see where the final days of 76293 Spider-Man Advent Calendar take us.
I hope for a strong finish...
A fun Spider-Ham snowman is exactly the kind of thing I was hoping for, featuring the specialised Spider-Ham head in a new colour. As always, I love the design on the end of his nose and the swept back ears look excellent. The snowman's body and arms are otherwise standard fare, but the red scarf is unusual, represented by a red 1x1 tooth plate. A normal scarf element would not fit under Spider-Ham's head, after all.
Overall - This is a perfect blend of seasonal and Spider-Man theming.

You could possibly put this snowman's head on Anti-Venom from the upcoming 76308 to make an Anti-Venom version of Spider-Ham, similar to https://brickset.com/minifigs/sh0698
I suspect the new head was where most of the budget for this calendar went
Wow! Another new element! This is getting out of budget, now there are TWO of them!
Fun design.
Cold pork in aspic.
Say what you will about Advent Calendar snowmen, the ones that tie into the calendar's license are fun.
Has anyone tried to put the scarf under this head? I’d think the bigger problem would be that there wouldn’t be enough stud for the head to grip.
Okay, this is a good one. It's literally the *only* good one in the entire calendar, but still.

It's not a new part just new printing. But over all this calendar has felt weak.
Generally I feel each day in a LEGO calendar should either represent the theme (City, Marvel, HP etc) or the season... and ideally both. Things like computer desks just don't cut it.
Yep. I got this on day 13 instead of the exclusive miles fig. I was hoping that they had just been swapped around but nope i got 2 spider ham snowman's and no miles fig. definitely ringing up customer service.
