This LEGO® Marvel Spider-Man construction toy features a Venice scene with a canal-side café, bridge, gondola and a buildable water base for Hydro-Man. In my opinion, this is a poor effort for a character that has made appearances in multiple MCU franchises and has been in the movies since the very start. Here, Happy is reduced to a generic looking bad-guy with no defining features whatsoever. The hair piece isn’t accurate, the head could be anyone (and has no beard), there’s nothing special to talk about with these bits at all.
This Spider-Man playset includes 4 Marvel Universe minifigures: MJ, Peter Parker, Mysterio and Hydro-Man, plus a LEGO rat figure. In terms of design, this variant is surprisingly traditional given the technologically advanced Stark suit. As you’d expect with the MCU version of the suit, however, the blue and red colouring is much darker than the comic book minifigures we’ve seen recently. It seems to be a pattern with MCU characters in general compared to their comic book counterparts. Similarly, the chest logo is much smaller. The set as a whole has playtime value with some great generic builds and figs that can be used elsewhere, as a AFOL collector, however, there isn’t a massive amount to get excited about here.Recreate thrilling superhero scenes from Marvel’s Spider-Man: Far From Home movie with this fun building set for kids. This Spider-Man toy building set for kids includes 3 Marvel Universe minifigures: Spider-Man, Mysterio and a firefighter.
It’s a great Spidey minifigure, but if you’ve been collecting MCU sets for some time then there’s a strong chance you already have this in your collection. How does the Stark Jet compare with what’s come before? Let’s take a look at the set in more details. Minifigures The most noticeable thing here is the standard comic-book to MCU design upgrade in armour, there’s a significant amount of detail on the characters torso and legs. As a result of the upgrade in look, we get a much darker colour scheme than fans of the character may be used to, a darker green covering the minifigure as well as a more prominent gold replaces the more yellow colouring of the comic version. We’ve already had Mysterio crop up in both of the sets, so let’s get him out of the way first (copy and paste) – it’s not to say the minifigure isn’t superb, it’s just if you’re buying more than one of the Far From Home sets then the excitement for this minifigure will wane with each unboxing.Café features a tower with attachment points for minifigures and web elements, rooftop garden with plant elements, buildable coffee machine and outside space.
Press the button on the top of the jet to open the hatch and drop bombs or let Spider-Man swoop down from the jet on his spider web string.Finally, on to the big build of the set and the first thing to say is it does look great, that’s definitely not in question. Does it, however, look like something Marvel specific (aside from the Stark branding), not at all. Recreate thrilling scenes from the Spider-Man: Far From Home movie with this creative building toy. The problem with the Stark Jet is the fact that this is a private jet essentially, and as a result we don’t get anything too fancy on it. Us Marvel fans have been spoilt for choice with jets and spaceships from both comics and movies over the last decade, and this one is just a little too generic to be of huge interest – I love my Endgame quinjet too much. Overall, this set is a bit of a disappointment and not because it’s a bad set, mainly because the other two tie-in sets are just so good. If I was buying this jet as part of a LEGO City set then I would be singing it’s praises, but the premium price that comes with the LEGO Marvel licence demands more movie specific content than this very generic private jet. As this design is going very much for the standard private jet all-white look, there aren’t many opportunities for the designers to do anything overall exciting on the exterior and so with the exception of stud shooters, a one-stud circle piece and a light light translucent 1×1, there’s nothing but white flat pieces making up the bulk of the wings. The vertical wing tips are sadly not on hinges either, so there’s really not a lot that can be done with these to change the look.
