At least this time it's the Morb. 

This is the first new Spidey villain we've seen since Mysterio in 2019 (MCU)/2020 (comics). And before that the last time we got new Spidey villains were 2016

[Mattallica]

kids dont know electro with the pointy mask(if they even know him at all) Lego primarily makes toys kids want to BUY ( and parents, grandparents buy as gifts for kids) 

Spider-man, Ironman , hulk and the others seen in the movies and cartoons that kids watch.

if we AFOL are lucky they make a sanctum set or a black panther bust(that they think we want).

this is the same discussion going on in the DC thread. Kids know batman, kids like batman everyone else not so much especially if there are no movies or cartoons aimed at kids. no SUICIDE squad, no peacemaker it all makes perfect sense once you realize Lego makes toys for kids not adults

so even if you think lego would sell a million electros to adult collectors the cost of a new mold, that really wouldnt appeal to the  millionS of  kids, just isnt worth it

Isn't Black Cat a villain?

For the sake of argument: Yes.

The only other potential reason I can think of for why they might be hesitant to make the classic electro design would be that the mask would probably be fragile

This is most likely not the main reason, but I'm going to take the chance to pitch my idea: Instead of using hard plastic, they should use a more ruber-y material to keep it from breaking, like Captain Marvel's short lived helmet or some of the longer minidolls hairpieces.

Well she's undeniably a criminal, but not necessarily always a villain. Anti hero at best

There's a live action female Doc Ock in some obscure Marvel series who's Otto's daughter; but the main/most well known female Doc Ock is the parallel universe female version from Into The Spiderverse. As far as we know so far, there's no male version on that Earth.

what series?

Can't find the image I saw for the Assassin daughter of Doc Ock on a google search last week now. Thinking it must have been fan made ???

The only classic Spiderman unique mold I'm aware of is Scorpion in the D2C*? set from years ago.

Yeah, LEGO only introduced villains without movie exposition in big sets (Scorpion  and Kraven in the bridge), and the Scorpion mold was reused in a mighty micros set.

Lego focused heavily on Mysterio and Vulture, for instance, after their debut in the movies. This means NWH might actually propel LEGO to release a 616 Electro in the future (and a 616 Lizard). But at the moment there was not even time for proper NWH sets.

On the other hand, they didn't make new molds for Vulture and used the existing one for Mysterio, whereas 616 electro (At least, goofy mask electro) and lizard would need new molds, and not ones from their NWH designs.

Technically, they could introduce new parts for the NWH designs which could then be repurposed for comic versions. Electro very VERY briefly sports a version of the silly classic mask made of electricity and the most important thing a bigfig Lizard needs is his tail. The face could be realised as a print for either version.

So if they really wanted to, they could introduce both these parts in NWH sets. Incredibly unlikely, but not impossible

Bruh why are there no Across the Spiderverse Lego...

Imagine if they made battle packs from this film. 3/4 different Spider Men for £15

WHY????

Because they all would have been held back over a year.

Honestly, between the amount of stuff from the first film in this trailer and some of the audio/visual stuff, I think it's gonna get delayed AGAIN. No rush on them, better a good film later than a bad one now, but keeping that June date in the new trailer seems... bold. Not to mention most of the spider-men we've seen highlighted in the merch haven't been focused on in the trailer. Scarlet Spider, Cyborg Spider-Woman, Spider-Punk, even Spot haven't had a single shot where they're in focus. (I'm sure punk or scarlet was in the background of a shot at some point, but Bombastic Bag Man had more focus than them if so.)

I'd made peace with ths fact that we weren't getting Spiderverse sets, but that trailer really reopened the wound. Hopefully we at least get some more characters from the next one like we did for the original.

Realistically, the only one I'm hoping for is Scarlet Spider, but

spider man unlimited is in the trailer.... now that said so is literally everyone else, but c'mon, even if the show was rough that's gotta be one of the most unique spidey designs to get a mainline show.

Is it possible to be a fan of just the suit design and nothing else about that show?

Seems to be the consensus

Would love to see the sticker sheet for the Quinjet, also really want to know if you HAVE to choose between Avengers or SHIELD logos, or if multiple parts are included to swap between (though I'm sure it's probably the first, I just need some clarity)

"A choice of 2 sticker sheets lets kids choose to decorate the Quinjet with either Avengers or S.H.I.E.L.D. insignias."

no extra parts

Expected this, but still a scummy thing for Lego to do. They do this fully knowing that kids would want to interchange these and it'd likely mess up the piece or cause damage to the sticker.

I don't expect much, but including an extra duplicate piece or two would have been all they needed to do.

Actually there are ten Avengers logos in the whole set, some of them on pretty big pieces.
