San Diego Comic Con not only saw some of The LEGO Movie 2 sets, and the sale of the LEGO Ideas Voltron set, but there were two other Super Heroes sets that made their debut: 76115 Spider-Man Mech vs. Venom Mech and 76095 Aquaman: Black Manta Strike.

I mean seriously. The Spider-Man set and the Batmech vs. Poison Ivy Tree could be the start of something. I blame that terrible Hulkbuster set. But you know, all these super heroes and their mechs, sounds awfully familiar

I took some extra pics of the Spider-Man set. Those are below. I don’t have anything more for the Manta set, just what LEGO sent me.

76115 Spider-Man Mech vs. Venom Mech

Launching: December 1, 2018
Piece Count: 604
Age: 8+

Stage an awesome mech battle between Spider-Man and Venom!

  • Includes 4 minifigures: Spider-Man, Ghost Spider, Venom and Aunt May.
  • Spider-Man Mech features an opening minifigure cockpit, posable joints, shooter to fire tech spider or web elements, and a gripping claw with attachment points for alternative web elements.
  • Venom Mech features a minifigure cockpit, posable joints, a long tongue, and gripping claws to grab minifigures.
  • Also includes Ghost Spider’s ‘hover board’ with 2 stud shooters and a translucent flame exhaust element, plus 9 assorted new-for-December-2018 web elements to customize your builds, minifigures and weapons.
  • Accessory elements include the Aunt May with ice cream .
  • The Spider-Man, Venom and Aunt May minifigures are new for December 2018.

And “Ghost Spider”? If that’s not supposed to be Spider-Gwen then I don’t know what is. This might be the closest thing we’ll ever get to her. Also, I like how they just gave up on the back of the mechs.

76095 Aquaman: Black Manta Strike

Launching: August 1, 2018

Venture into the underwater universe of Atlantis with Aquaman™ and Mera™ for a LEGO® DC Super Heroes 76095 Aquaman: Black Manta™ Strike against Black Manta’s submarine! Dodge the sub’s spring-loaded shooter and six-stud rapid shooter. Fend off the shark and Black Manta’s sword attacks with Aquaman’s powerful trident. Play out thrilling scenes from the Aquaman movie or create your own exciting adventures. Can you help the LEGO DC Super Heroes defeat the menacing Black Manta™ and discover the treasure in the seaweed?

  • Includes 3 LEGO® DC Super Heroes minifigures: Aquaman™, Mera™ and Black Manta™, plus a shark figure.
  • Black Manta’s submarine features an opening minifigure cockpit, 2 spring-loaded shooters, 6-stud rapid shooter and 2 engines.
  • Underwater scene features seaweed elements and 2 detachable gold-colored treasure elements.
  • Weapons include Aquaman’s trident and Power Blast, Mera’s Power Blast and Black Manta’s sword.

I honestly thought this was a Batman set just by the Black Manta thing alone. That, and LEGO’s and DC’s propensity to include Batman in 99% of the DC sets.

  1. I’ll admit the Spiderman sets look kinda fun. But where does the friendly neighborhood Spider-Man come up with cash to build something like that? And I totally agree on the backs – they could have done a little shaping, or given some ‘grab-able’ features for kids to hold on to.
