The 9th day of Advent in Friends is a dog and in Marvel is a captain.
This dog is really cute. It’s molded in white with some black printing just on the head. The rest is unprinted.
If you turn the dog over, you can see that the two front legs and the two rear legs each accommodate a stud, spaced 3 studs apart (1 studs between).
We get a minifig today from Marvel, and it’s Captain America. It’s just a regular minifig, no ugly sweater this time. As usual, printing is on both sides of head and torso, with no leg printing.
To build a MOC from the parts we’ve gotten thus far I came up with this carnival watergun game! Autumn from Frineds is shooting the gun while Black Widow seeks the next mark to fleece. The four animals we’ve got thus far are up on the shelf as stuffed animals (prizes). As the player shoots water at a target, balloons inflate (here, modeled as cherries). See the video above for a tour of all the features.
This year I purchased and am building just two of the available five calendars LEGO has released: Friends and Marvel. If you want to build the others, here are some links to them on Amazon: City, Harry Potter, and Star Wars. (But please don’t support Harry Potter, due to the transphobic politics of J. K. Rowling.)
