LEGO 76175 Super Heroes Attack on the Spider Lair

Product Information

Huh. I'd always known Kingpin as being a Daredevil villain (in fact, the only Daredevil villain I could name off the top of my head). Looking through his rogues gallery, the only other ones that I've even heard of (who aren't borrowed from Spiderman, or aren't generally considered to be hero or anti-hero characters in their own right) are Deadshot-I-mean-Bullseye, Tombstone, and Typhoid Mary. And mostly I just know them by name. I highly implore you to look through the decals yourself, as they have great details strewn throughout, but Spider-Man’s suit that is being analysed has leg printing, but the suit he is wearing does not? This does mean that both the suit being analysed, as well as the Spider-Man in the video game, don’t correlate to the physical Spider-Man that we get and I feel like that is a missed opportunity. Despite sharing similarities in subject and organisation, Spider-Man's lair appears significantly brighter than Batman's famous Batcave. The red and dark blue colour scheme looks excellent and I was pleasantly surprised by the size of this model, measuring 41cm wide. Moreover, the integration of various sections seems relatively successful, particularly as the same trans-light blue accents appear repeatedly. Villains frequently accompany these superhero sanctuaries and two such minifigures appear here. Venom has remained unaltered since 2019 and seems suitably fearsome, featuring an intimidating head with bared teeth. The torso design is comparatively simple but matches the character's traditional comic appearance and I see little justification for alterations. I think this critique could be handed out for almost any Superhero set, considering the city is their environment, and barring the few sets that are inexpensive, Its hard to make a playground like that, especially for Spidey in NY. ]]

The classic Iron Spider suit has appeared in various Marvel Super Heroes sets, although this example remains unchanged from 76151 Venomosaurus Ambush. The intricate armour design and metallic gold decoration looks splendid, especially with the supplementary articulated arms. However, the decoration does not continue on the legs and I would have favoured another new Spider-Man variant to replace this one. Green Goblin has been updated though and appears better than ever, in my opinion. Purple dominates the design and his clothing is completely tattered, conveying the unhinged psyche which characterises this villain! The detailed dark bluish grey padding on his chest and knees looks wonderful too, along with Green Goblin's double-sided head and accurate headgear. For children aged 3 and over there are also LEGO Friends. Join Aliya, Autumn, Leo, Zac, Nova, Paisley, Olly and Liann and explore new interests with exciting new expeditions! There's a variety of characters, playsets, and settings that inspire learning through imaginative role-playing. LEGO for the experienced builder…Join all your favourite goodies (and baddies!) with LEGO Superhero sets - there's Thanos, The Joker, Lex Luthor, DC Comics and Marvel superheroes ready to build and recreate all the best scenes. There is also LEGO Star Wars and LEGO Ninjago, both bursting with awesome characters and adventure. Spider-Man possesses various vehicles throughout the Marvel Super Heroes range and his concealed lair contains a maintenance area for one such vehicle. The colour combination of dark blue and red continues here to good effect and I like the trans-yellow lights beneath the motorcycle. Additionally, this vehicle can rotate on its elevated plinth and seems accordingly attractive.

As the Goblin-glider is foot-and-balance controlled in the comics, I have no complaints about there not being any obvious control surfaces for the Green Goblin minifigure to operate. I’m also happy to see a “classic” version of these designs, rather than going with any of the live-action versions.LEGO components satisfy stringent industry standards to ensure they are consistent, compatible and connect and pull apart correctly every time – it's been that way since 1958. Over the years, we’ve seen a lot of variations on the Spider-Man character, though. In Into the Spider-Verse we saw a reality where a very successful Pete did have a big Spider Lair of his own, full of display cases and high-tech gadgetry. (Of course, that version of Peter had some very serious things happen to him at the start of that film, too, so maybe everything is still “in character”.) Anyway, I suppose there’s precedent for this sort of thing. And, as we’ll see, LEGO has pulled in bits of Spider-Man history from all over the multiverse to construct this Spider Lair.
