You see whilst studios like to leak out information about their upcoming release like the marketing mental Scrooges they are they often fail to keep a lid on those meddling toy manufacturers who’s products are often released in advance. I assume they don’t think that an adult of adult age doing what many assume to be an adult job would bother to stoop to such a low level to get his mucky spolierific fix. But what the fools didn’t expect was that I bloody well will stoop. So the joke’s on them. I think.
So as I edge my way around Idle Hands I am treated to a veritable smorgasbord of Mega Bloks box shots and more promotional material than I would care to have to look at. Whilst it soon becomes apparent that Mega Bloks is short hand for Tesco-Value Lego it also soon becomes apparent that here we get our first look at Spidey’s new enemy; Lizard. Well I say we get our first look, it’s actually our first look at his plastic not so fantastic counterpart. Looking like a cross between The Incredible Hulk, Fantastic Four’s The Thing and a cross eyed Dolph Lundgren with severe joint issues I guess it sheds very little light on what we’ll be treated to in the movie.
The main reason for my visit here though is that it’s a pretty sure fire bet that each of the situations depicted here in glorious Blok-O-Vision will make an appearance in the movie. So we’ve got some sort of thing with a roof and a ladder and a jet-ski – so that’ll be Sewer Lab HQ then. We’ve got a helicopter, a rooftop, a crane and the introduction of a fella called SWAT Lizard – so that’ll apparently be Oscorp Tower FX Battle and lastly we’re treated to Spidey and Lizard having a good old battle to the death in the descriptively titled Lizard Man Showdown.
So that’s what I’ve discovered. Was it worth it? Probably not…
