I guess my problem is that I collected Walgreen Minimates , Walgreen Minimates waves (generally) had at least one Spider-Man variation (sometimes 2 ) in each wave , if there wasn't a Spider-Man then there was a Venom or a Spider-Woman/Girl ! Maybe 'animated versions don't count' ? I can count . I'm sorry, I hadn't thought about Walgreens, they feel like ancient history to me now. To be fair, they were based on the Spider- Man Animated Series and that series is chock-full of spider-characters (Miles, Arana, Gwen, Venom), so we were going to get a lot of Spider. If you count Walgreens, there may not be a lot that's new for you in the next set. But as these are comic-based, they do have a lot more detail, new sculpted parts, etc. Hopefully we'll show them off on October at NYCC.

NerdyTrev Posted August 8, 2023 Share Posted August 8, 2023 If it were to be a Spider-Verse set based on the 2015 comic, I would imagine the line up consisting of: Spider-Man Peter Parker (with Mayday Parker baby) Silk Scarlet Spider Kaine (Kind of Ben Reilly, but completes the trio) Spider-Man 2099 or Spider-Punk (Newly popular character) Morlun Spider-Ham pack in figure.

Trekker 42 Posted August 8, 2023 Author Share Posted August 8, 2023 That Spider-Ham Lego head really does slap on that itsy bitsy. Wish I had an extra of it but my only Spider-Ham is on the Big Ass Bridge Fight I made for all my Marvel Lego. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't explain why but that is one of my most loved 2 packs. When I eventually part with all of my non X-Men related minis, I suspect these are two I'll hold on to.

buttheadsmate Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 Spider-Ham was a secret-chase from the Marvel Kubrick line & until this week I had always assumed that another secret-chase from that line was called 'Venom-Ham' I've been calling 'him' Venom-Ham for years yet now I can find no reference to him at all ! I was going to post that maybe we'd be getting the symbiotic version of Spider-Ham in the future ....good ol' Venom-Ham ...er.....Pork Grind . I prefer Venom Ham . There were just 4 waves of Marvel kubricks (2003-2004) , just 28 figures & 4 secrets . The 4 secrets were Peter Porker ,Venom Ham Black Peter Porker, Venom-Punisher & .....Doppelganger . How on earth haven't we had those characters 'minimated' *? Amazingly Doppelgänger is the only one out of those 4 that has a Minimate equivalent but that was not a *comic-based version ......I wonder ?

Although irrelevant, I’d say most minimates are easy to find on the secondary market and now that we are effectively only getting 10 Marvel ones a year I get really annoyed with repeats. Obviously some are necessary evils like Walk Of Shame DD but at least we are getting D-Man parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may be misunderstanding, but our Doppelganger was definitely comic-based. It was in the Maximum Carnage series. Minimate Database: Doppelganger Venom Punisher is a pretty easy QC.

You are of course correct about Doppelgänger ,it was wave 76 which also feels like ancient history . I had it in my head it was a WG 'mate .

I may order a set out of loyalty to Luke but candidly this wave screams skip. So many of these are repeats that I just don’t need or want but I’m happy for those that are happy.
