Spider-Man & New Villains Swing Into Marvel: Crisis Protocol
March 19, 2021 by brennon
Atomic Mass Games has been revealing more miniatures for Marvel: Crisis Protocol! In a new trailer from yesterday, they showed off not only The Amazing Spider-Man and Black Cat but also a suite of villains for them to go up against.

The new miniatures for Spider-Man and Black Cat give off a particularly balletic vibe to them. Spider-Man is leaping away from an explosion for example...

I do particularly like the model and the pose and I think it works very well for the web-swinger. It very much reminds me of the look and feel of Spider-Man in the video game that came out on PS4 in the last few years. I will always be a big fan of Spider-Man and I did enjoy how the trailer also brought through plenty of those 90s vibes from the cartoon series.
Much like Spider-Man, Black Cat is flipping her way out of trouble.

Being the master criminal that she is, it certainly makes sense for her to always be in the midst of leaping around. I'm not sure how this pose will look all the time when in the midst of a tabletop skirmish but it's a good vignette at the very least.
It would be neat to see an alternative pose of her doing a superhero landing pose perhaps, getting ready to leap towards her next target. It does work very well with the aforementioned Spider-Man model though which is good.

As well as the two new heroes coming your way, we've also got a bunch of villains too. Kraven The Hunter is leaping into the fray as he makes ready to hunt that dastardly spider throughout the streets of New York.

Lizard, or Doctor Connors, is also leaping from the sewers in order to stop Spider-Man from ruining his plans. As Lizard was the first villain that Spider-Man fought in the 90s animated series, I have quite the love for this fellow and it's fun to see him unleashed on Marvel: Crisis Protocol.

Just remember that whilst he might be trying to turn everyone into lizards, he is still a good man underneath all of that muscle! Maybe just knock him out and deliver the antidote!
Someone who is decidedly NOT a good guy is Carnage. This new writing version of him is all spinning blades and I imagine he is going to be quite the foe for Spider-Man and his friends to take on.

This might provide you with the right oppertunity to have Spider-Man and Venom team up so that they can take down this murderous symbiote. You could have quite the rooftop chase through the city of New York as you try and stop him from getting to his next victim.
Throwing a spanner in the works and playing around with your reality, we also have Mysterio. Here he is resplendent in his classic comic book get-up!
Mysterio // Marvel: Crisis Protocol
Weave mysterious illusions and throw Spider-Man, Black Cat, Gwen Stacy and Miles Morales off the scent with this tricksy villain. I think all of the nefarious bad guys that Atomic Mass Games have produced as part of this preview are really fun and the perfect opportunity to dive back into the game over the next few months.

Spider-Man, much like Batman in the DC Universe, seems to have the best selection of villains and heroes that all come together in the perfect cocktail. I'm sure some folks will disagree but there is so much to have fun with as part of this side of Marvel.

Watch out for all of these miniatures coming out later this year as well as a new terrain pack for the NYC Apartment Building. This will add more height to your gaming tables! If you are a massive Marvel fan then you are going to be very busy over the next few months.
Which is your favourite Spider-Man villain?

I’m not collecting Crisis Protocol (a Deadpool pre-order aside) but Lizard would make a great big mutant in Zona Alfa. Tempted.
I need Mysterion, Carnage and Lizard.
My local shop has started stocking Crisis Protocol. This is gonna be bad for my wallet! Spidey and friends are my hands down favourite hero and he has the best rogues gallery!
Great figs. But I wonder at the pose and colour of the feline.
Yeah. Black Cat looks like she’s been knocked out and about to hit the ground.
They all look great but Mysterio is the the stand out winner for me, looks amazing!
It is interesting that AMG and Knight Models are both using more ‘theatrical’ poses and scenery in their recent sculpts. It creates cool minis but I’m sceptical about how they look on the table.
Which makes me wonder what proportion of sales are bought just to paint.
I don’t mind it with Spiderman because an iconic pose for him is mid-swing and how else do you model that? But with Black Cat I think the weird pseudo backflip she’s doing might be a little too over the top as far as dynamic poses go.
Totally agree about Blackcat. How can the three guys at ATM decide that that was the way to go? Really?
They look ridiculous on the table. I modify all of mine to reduce the scenery as much as possible.
opperunitity Is my new favorite word.
Wow, these look amazing!
MCP has such good sculpts.
I’m so jazzed for this release I can’t even put it into words. Grew up on Spiderman and the “Maximum Carnage” event. I’ve been waiting on more of Spidey’s rogue’s gallery for a long time and I’ve been waiting on a Carnage release since day one. Going to be so excited to add these to my hobby blog once I get them painted up.
Great looking stuff.
All of the models look fantastic but I feel like there was meant to be something else included with the Black Cat model that is missing. It looks like she was supposed to be leaping over a piece of thrown debris or something.
Great looking minis!
The boxes are espensive though and i’m curious to see the price on the NYC Apartment Building…
Great looking figures.
The villains are fantastic. Blackcat is a ridiculous sculpt. The apartment looks good but I can only imagine the outlandish sales price.
I hope the stats actually reflect the characters.
I wish they would hire someone who actually new the characters abilities and relative strengths. This would be the best super hero game ever if they did.
