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. 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. 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. Build an awesome fire monster and role-play a thrilling LEGO® Marvel Spider-Man 76128 Molten Man Battle. The buildable Molten Man mechanical buildable toy figure features posable joints, a gripping claw, 6-stud rapid shooter, buildable ‘melting’ objects including half a car, street lamp and a traffic light attached to its body, molten lava elements and attachment points for minifigures. This Marvel toy includes 3 minifigures—Spider-Man, Mysterio and a firefighter—with weapons and accessories to play out exciting superhero scenes from Marvel’s Spider-Man: Far From Home movie. Café features a tower with attachment points for minifigures and web elements, rooftop garden with plant elements, buildable coffee machine and outside space.

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. This Spider-Man playset includes 4 Marvel Universe minifigures: MJ, Peter Parker, Mysterio and Hydro-Man, plus a LEGO rat figure. The drones are a nice addition, a fun build, but I’d much rather have Spidey battling one of the elementals from the other two sets than these batwing micro-builds. In terms of the design, it’s not unlike the printing on Civil War era Iron Man minifigure, with clearly defined armour plates in the gold and purple colour-scheme fans will be familiar with. It’s interesting to note that one of the fan theories based on the mention of a multi-verse is that this version of Mysterio is actually the equivalent to the Iron Man of his world – I doubt that has even been considered in the design here, but the similarities may certainly hint at that. 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.

Bridge features an explode function, attachment points for minifigures and web elements, sewer with LEGO rat figure, pizza slice element and a gem element. Moving up to the head and rather than a standard head and hair like we’ve seen the character appear as in the movie trailer, this Mysterio is fully armoured. As a result the headpiece is simply solid silver with no facial features or other printing and the goldfish bowl helmet sits over the top.

Accessory elements include Peter Parker’s interchangeable Spider-Man minifigure head, plus 9 assorted Spider-Man web elements to customise your builds, minifigures and weapons. Compared to the elemental heavy sets that I’ve already reviewed, the name of the set, at least, gives me the impression that we’re in for something a little more generic and a little less interesting. LEGO Marvel has produced so many jet-based sets in the past, I’m not sure I’ve got room for another one. That said, Stark tech does tend to be a little different from the standard, so here’s hoping this set can shine through as something special. 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 torso armour design continues on to the legs piece with a wonderfully detailed waistline, impressively sharp given the tiny area of plastic to play with. Again, in comparison to the Iron Man armour design, the legs also include metallic looking knee plates and toecaps.

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. 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.

Outside space features an explode function, buildable table, coffee cup, pizza slice and newspaper elements, 2 minifigure seats, buildable street lamp and flower elements.

In terms of build, it’s great fun to construct, a good hour or so and despite some impressive building techniques on both the exterior and interior, there is very little in the way of complex fiddly bits to this plane’s construction.
