More of these ugly figures? (and of course another Spider-Man)
Yikes.
For the piece count Green Goblins a steal. Looks like for $5 you get 168 more parts. Glad to see the glider didn't bump the price up too much.
Green goblin is kinda scary.
Iron spider looks cool, though.
Can the Spider-man come out to play?
I like these except for the shoulder parts. Those fall of way to easy for something that is supposed to be for play over display.
Maybe I'm crazy, but I kinda like that green goblin.

Yes, he is kind of scary--that's a great thing. I just wish they had swapped some green for purple or maybe magenta to not repeat the color of the glider.
I wonder when they'll learn? shoulder armor should be attached into arm not torso.
if lego decided to bring Bionicle back like this I wouldn't buy it. Too expensive and especially masks would be very disrespectful if they were prints on those head pieces.
HOLY GHOST-SPIDER!
You: "Who needs these?"
Lego: "Kids."
(Plus, I'm noting that this building style works really well for Ant-Man and the half-Sandman, and I imagine the upcoming Surtur will be in this style too. A Sentinel in this style would be fantastic.)
They look as awful as always ^ U ^
Weird that lego is pushing these, as they already on 40% or even 50% sales here in Poland
Text....?
Would love to see the return of LEGO alt-builds for these (3in1 style). Can you imagine the horrors.
I honestly don't quite get the attraction of these 'construction figures' when there are far better looking action figures of these characters available for both kids and kidults at lower or equal price points.
That said, that Green Goblin is the best of its kind I've seen so far.
Just need a Doc Ock one!

These are Lego, other action figures aren't.
Really surprised we keep getting more of these considering how often I see them at discount.
Maybe we should get, I don't know, more playsets for Marvel? More location playsets? Actually desirable models?
Hopefully the goblin presages a new Dafoe Goblin minifig (with the helmet this time)
They still didn't fix the low shoulder issue, and the gaps between the shoulder pads and the arms are still there.

Same here. One thing you can always be certain to find at the bottom of any bargain bin, with several marked down price stickers on top of one another, yet still not finding a customer.
At least the release date is fitting since these kinds of sets are a total joke.
Otoh, they must be selling at least somewhere or LEGO would have stopped making new ones long ago.
OUT, AM I???
Mildly disappointed that they didn't use https://brickset.com/parts/design-51270 for Goblin's bombs. Might not have been the most accurate choice (assuming that this is supposed to be the Willem Dafoe version), but still...
Interesting that these are from No Way Home. Especially Norman. Just weird to see a design from a 2002 film in this style.
As for those discounts mentioned above... I wish I ever foumd some of that. It would be nice
It looks like the goblin's glider has a green Technic pin of some kind. Special colors of Technic pins definitely aren't enough to get me to buy the set, so hopefully they become available through online P.A.B.
Green Goblin looks quite okay, and with that glider included value seems particularly good. Spidey though.....looks just weird.

That'll be the (relatively) new pin with anti-stud, 65826. So far, only in green.

8785 was the first 3 waves (2004/5/6) kids kept buying them.
And a few years later they kept popping up in second hand lots
Beware of this version of Green Goblin, he thinks he’s King Tut!

Same for me, if I want an action figure to display (or play), I'll buy a good looking one.
I don't think they sell too well, although that is probably partly down to pricing. I bought the Iron Man 76206 (£40 RRP) brand new from a charity shop for £10 to flip on facebook. I didn't get a bite for months at £25, and eventually got £20 for it.

If kids like them, that's obviously great, since they're made for kids. But if given the option if I were still a kid, I would've picked any of the current Spider-Man action figures over this odd looking Iron Spider-Man. Or just a Spider-Man minifig. :-)
'You know, I'm something of a scientist myself.'
I really like the Star Wars troopers they made a while back, still some of the best looking SW figures to display. Why couldn't they do a mold of Spider-Man's head like those troopers? His head looks so bad...
Too many specialised parts! they are ruining the sets.
We aren't so different, you and I...
Hopefully there's a Tobey suit Spider-Man to go with this Gobby. Only ones I've really wanted.
LEGO, either drop this line of monstrosities, or go all the way with the molds so these sets start looking better than $5 action figure knockoffs. Stuff can be done with a kind-of-cute "legolized" look, but this is as far from that as ever.
I haven’t been inclined to get any of these construction figures until these…
Not sure which I like less.....these sets or the word constraction...
The shape of the heads is ridiculous. Plus those wrists on the goblin.
This is why only FOOLS are heroes! Because you never known when some LUNATIC will come along with a sadistic choice!
So the 1:8 Technic McLaren hypercar in Dark Purple is confirmed!
Green Goblin actually looks pretty cool. The best one so far in this mixed bag of a series.
Goblin just looks like an angry Gumby. Yeesh.
Goblin suits this style of fig really well.
I do think it would of helped if they did some sticker design on green goblin
I'd rather get every single one of these tall constructable figures than get one of those boring star wars head models.
Tune in to Brickset comments get mad about Lego making toys next month, where they will take on whatever Ninjago single minifigure set series will be in the summer.
More shelf warmers, at least where I live these don't seem to sell at all.
Lego has amazing and beautiful sets.
These are awful.
I felt the same way , not owning these and just bashing the look of them. But I bought one , Ironman and bought the rest of the line. They are very good models , LEGO models to be exact. Hard to describe really , but this is just a LEGO action figure and they work. Looking forward to these , just wish they would do some DC ones as well besides just Batman.
Iron Spider looks perfect. The Green Goblin's head build I'm not sold on, but I am sold on the set as a whole. The pricing is a notable improvement on the previous wave.
Viva la Constraction.
Waitwaitwait, when 76284 comes out I need someone to put the head from 75535 on it and see how blursed it is--
Can the Spider-Man come out to... construct?

What's wrong with having arms?
Instead of the Raimi Goblin figure, maybe we could get a Raimi set or two?
I have zero interest in construction figures, but I think the Green Goblin set is pretty great looking - the surface texturing on the body, and the glider, are both great IMHO.

Your comment has me wanting a Dock Ock in this style. He's got plenty of arms!

Ah yes, I believe you are right. And it looks like it's already available through online P.A.B. :)
@StarWarzFan7777 said:

Simple fix is to attach shoulder pads into arms. I don't understand why LEGO just don't get it?! This limits arm movement because shoulder pad isn't moving with arm so you cannot really put arms up etc.
I have yet to buy one of these but they're always tempting. Personally I think this is the kind of thing that a Bionicle tribute/reboot should look like. As much as AFOLs of my generation (myself included) want to see Bionicle come back, I don't think I'd find a 50-something piece set for $15 all that satisfying anymore. A really clever (and larger) brick-built model, on the other hand, could potentially be *very* satisfying. The tiny GWP model was just too small to capture any real detail.
What is the mold for the gold piece in Green Goblin's hands?

I was just looking at that. At a glance it looks like https://brickset.com/parts/design-37837 , but that has a solid stud at the other end, so I don't understand how there can be the 'back end' of a green technic pin inside.

Maybe FB isn't the best place to sell LEGO anyway. Never thought of even looking there for LEGO, honestly! But wouldn't have bought that Iron Man either. ;-)

This series leans more into standard system bricks than any other buildable figures before them. there's like 3 total parts in each of these that could even remotely be considered "specialized" out of HUNDREDS. What are you on about?
