Amber Grant provides photos for the Bugle, and apparently also runs the newspaper stand on the corner.He’s got a new head that includes some nice grey flecks in his beard.
With a slight torso variant there’s Ron Barney, a reporter for the Bugle. Robbie Robertson is one of the journalists and is a bit more of a Spidey fan. Ben Urich is a journalist with the Bugle, and has a great torso. The torso looks great, hailing from Ginny Weasley in Diagon Alley. Betty Brant is Jonah’s secretary and is a bit uninspiring. His facial expressions are spot on, with the back showcasing him with some webbing over his mouth! I love it. Jonah Jameson, the editor of the Daily Bugle looks fantastic in his black suit with blue detailing. The bright red just pops! On to the civilians. Daredevil is so good! The horn capping on his head is spot on, and he’s got two batons to fight with. Frank Castle, also known as Punisher looks excellent with the iconic skull on his torso, and a bandaid on his head! Not sure why he’s smiling though – he’s not really a happy bloke. The printing looks fantastic – spot on with the character. One of my all time favourites, Blade is finally here in minifigure form, and he’s instantly recognisable. The printing is great, and she’s also got some fire blasts in her hands. A lesser known Marvel superhero and a Mutant, Firestar works with the Earth’s electromagnetic field and convert it into microwave radiation emissions, giving her heat emmision, flight, and a few other smaller things. She’s got a happy face and an angry face, perfect for her persona as sometimes an ally, sometimes an enemy. Black Cat looks great! The torso printing is excellent, and I love the hair and the face print. I’ve got one already, but another is brilliant. The torso has some dull sand printing that doesn’t match the tan elements, but the ‘legs’ are just awesome. Sandman is incorporated brilliantly into the build, but more on that in a second. Under the helmet is a light bluish grey head. Mysterio has been seen before, but he still looks cool, especially with the fabric cape. Excellent printing and more tendrils! I just wish the back connector was red too, along with the hand grip studs. He looks great, but the tendrils have been improved using tail elements. Another classic Spiderman pairing is with Venom. He’s also got his Goblin Glider that’s bursting through the building. Green Goblin looks excellent although not unique. The torso printing looks good, but the mechanical arms look just fantastic! They use the angled minifigure stand studs and round 1×1 plates with holes, and the articulation is just brilliant. The classic villian Doctor Octopus just had to be included. She’s got a frightened alternate face, and carries a tray of cookies. Aunt May was a must for this set, and has an excellent grandma torso. Gwen Stacey in her civvies looks good, and I like the torso print. Ghost Spider looks good, but she’s missing the coloured highlights in the inside of her hood. Ham was seen in 76151 Venomosaurus Ambush as well. Spider-Ham also gets an inclusion! This is brilliant – Peter Porker himself! I love the head printing. Keeping with the spider theme, Miles Morales is included here with the same design as in 76171 Miles Morales Mech Armour. Peter has a double sided head – happy and surprised. There’s also a Peter Parker minifigure, with his civvies on, and a satchel. Spider-Man comes in his highly detailed print version, new for 2021, with dual moulded legs. There’s only one way to start this list. 
Before we get into the build, let’s spend some time checking out all those minifigures. Jonah Jameson, and in this set, it’s clearly a good spot for an all in brawl. It’s the workplace of Peter Parker and the always grumpy and anti-Spidey J. The Daily Bugle is one of the most well known landmarks in the Marvel universe. Inside the massive box are 36 numbered bags across 16 stages, a separate bag of bigger parts, an instruction manual, and two separate sticker sheets with 38 stickers. So do the minifigures outweigh the grey, or is it still too bland? Let’s take a look. Weighing in at 3,772 pieces, 75178 Daily Bugle has an absolute ton of minifigures at 25, but there’s also a lot of grey and repetition. The biggest set of the year is one that has been surprisingly polarising – at least with the people I’ve talked to.
