LEGO 76196 Super Heroes The Avengers Advent Calendar

Product Information

I truly don’t understand why they split days up like this where minifigure accessories are separated from their minifigures.

Here’s the complete 2023 LEGO Marvel Avengers Advent Calendar, which takes us through the Avengers Infinity Saga. The design is quite angular, making it look kinda like the Avengers Tower but it’s lacking a topper or star! This version of Okoye is slightly uncommon, as it’s only appeared once in 76214 Black Panther: War on the Water, so if you didn’t pick up that set, you’re in luck as this is a fairly affordable way to add this Okoye variant to your collection. This is truly bewildering that we only get the Cloak of Levitation and no Doctor Strange minifigure. I will not be purchasing a Marvel calendar next year, really hoping Lego learns from the really negative reviews this year.This build was a lot of fun and I especially love the use of colour here, with pops of pearl gold and a trans-red rockpit. LEGO toy advent calendars make magical Christmas gifts to keep little ones entertained as they wait for the big day! On the plus side, the minifigure department is pretty decent, and I love that we get Spider-Man and Black Widow in ugly Christmas sweaters. I am also looking for the advent calendar count downs for Star Wars and Harry Potter but can’t find them on your site, though I read, you do all five Lego calendars this year, can you please help me?

Just getting his Hammer on the Fireplace is such a missed opportunity, and the lack of Loki is also very noticeable, especially as he has a throne. The design features Loki’s signature colours – dark green and gold, and the two “horns” and trans-green elements are more hallmarks of the God of Mischief’s style.

I do like the HUD (heads up display) on Tony’s face, which looks cool, and he also comes with 2 power blasts elements, which you can flick by pressing the “tails” inwards to fire them as projectiles. You would have got in a city calendar in the earlier days so no real excitement or significance to the final day of the calendar. Snowpeople are a staple of Advent Calendars, so this one is at least semi-relevant, although it would’ve been really cool if LEGO had given us a plain white Iron Man helmet. There are 7 minifigures – Okoye, Doctor Strange, Captain America, Spider-Man, Wong, Iron Man and Black Widow – plus mini builds and accessories that kids will recognise from the Marvel Cinematic Universe, including a mini Quinjet and the Hydra Train.

You predictably get him the next day, which is just lazy for a wonderful company like Lego to do to their fans. We’ve bought an advent set for our son for several years now and this set has been a complete disappointment. After the slightly lackluster day 1, Day 2 of the 2023 LEGO Marvel Avengers Advent Calendar gives us a brilliant build – a micro Quinjet in festive Christmas-y colours! Strange is tomorrow, maybe if he had come first and the cape the next day it would have been different? Ever since we got Loki’s throne on day 16, I’ve been waiting for Loki, but since It’s obviously going to be a christmas tree tomorrow, to my bafflement, we’re not getting a Loki minifigure at all.

This calendar came with some cool pieces but seems to lack a cohesive theme, the characters were a bit random, and there were enough disappointing days in here to warrant only 2 stars on this one!
