The magazine itself follows suit with all its predecessors, with a ton of puzzles and activities, such as dice based games, mazes and word games, there’s even a design your own Spider-Man character page. These are great fun for the intended younger fans, offering up a fun yet somewhat educational experience.

The double-sided poster as usual features great artwork and worthy of hanging onto for LEGO room decoration. Also the Comic-strip stories are great fun to read especially with young fans, they often feature characters that are included as freebies with each magazine Issue, this time around we get a Venomised Green Goblin Minifigure and his Glider.

The torso features an awesome mashup of designs, as you can imagine being Venomised means being taken over by Venom and the black goo. It’s a fun character to portray in LEGO form as it has only appeared in one other set previous to this one, LEGO Spider-Man Race Car & Venom Green Goblin Set (76279). The arms are different colours, one is green and the other is black. Sadly the legs are plain, perhaps including Venomised legs would have been better, making this Mini truly unique and exclusive. There is a dual printed head, one half Venomised and the other half Green Goblin, the second face is fully Venomised.

The Green Goblin’s Glider has also be half assimilated by Venom and it looks so cool. This build is totally exclusive to the Magazine, although we’ve seen it before, here only half has been Venomised.

Below are a handful of pages to showcase what these style of publications offer.

LEGO Marvel Spider-Man Magazine Issue 12 can be picked up from most good newsagents and supermarkets, such as WHSmiths, ASDA, Tesco and Sainsbury’s, to mention a few. If you can’t get to a store please don’t fret, they can be ordered online at MagsDirect, they even ship Worldwide!

The new buildable characters are taken straight out of the Spider-Man Universe and include the Green Goblin, complete with his iconic Glider and the MCU Iron Spider, who comes with his extended arms.

Each sold separately, the figures will ‘swing‘ into stores 1st April 2024, I’m sure they’ll ‘fly‘ off the shelves.
