The Eternals sets all offer something unique compared to most other Marvel sets. However, the most interesting and usual of the four sets based on the latest MCU entry features the Eternals ship, the Domo. Although not expressly based on something similar to the original comics, the ship certainly takes inspiration from Jack Kirby’s unique art style. As well as including the ship, the set also features two Deviants, including their leader Kro and six Minifigures, two of which are exclusive to this set. So here’s a look at the final Eternals set, Rise of the Domo.

The Deviants come in many forms, but they are all fearsome creations led by a rather civilised Kro. As the Deviants emerge after the Blip, Kro begins to gain new forms as he takes powers from others. This causes him to have a more human-like appearance, whilst still maintaining a number of visual traits found on all Deviants. His LEGO version shows him in his changed form, which also uses a new element to create his head. The rest of Kro is similar to other mech-like builds, with ball joints used to give some flexibility in the legs and arms.
He’s joined by another Deviant creature, which is far more similar to those featured in other Eternals sets. So it’s a beast-like creature on all fours, with a passing resemblance to the hell hounds of Gozer in Ghostbusters, just a little more colourful. Both Deviants make use of the pearlescent wavey elements and plenty of gold pieces.
The Domo is the craft of the Eternals that first arrived on Earth over 7000 years ago. It ushered in a new era for humankind by bringing forth the god-like Eternals to ward off Deviants. With the Deviants defeated and the Eternals laying low, the ship was hidden, until the Blip changed everything.
As with many LEGO playsets, the Domo has been scaled down quite a bit but that hasn’t stopped it including some fun details, both inside and across the exterior. To access the inside of the ship, the sides and sections of the roof all fold open. Although the insides are a little cramped there’s enough room to fit a few of the Minifigures. Although it’s a struggle to get all nine of the Eternals in there at once.
As the Eternals have lived across many eras of civilization, they have accrued many trinkets. These are dotted around the ship and include a coffee machine, game controller and umbrella. But it’s not all modern-day stuff in the ship, a vast amount of the interior has an extraterrestrial feel to it. With the largest flap having a strange alien tech clad to it. There’s also a micro recreation of Arishem on board the ship, which is a pretty decent likeness considering it uses very few parts.
The best part of the whole ship is the unique outer shell. The way it has been built to fold open also helps to give the exterior some texture. The various different sized discs offer a unique pattern that matches those found on the various Minifigures outfits. When I realised much of the details were achieved by stickers, I was a little disappointed but in fairness, they were super easy to apply to the various discs and the largest discs are printed anyway. These combined with the simmering transparent elements give the ship a great finish. For me, the real draw of all the Eternals sets was definitely their unique looking ship. It’s briefly seen in trailers and although its scale it’s certainly a little on the small size when compared to the Minifigures it’s still an impressive little build.
As the biggest set in the Eternals collection, it features the most Minifigures. Three of the characters, Makkari, Ikaris and Thena, also appear in other Eternals sets. With Druig & Phastos only being found in this set. The Minifigures aren’t your usual Marvel affair. They may seem a little simple in design, but the detail on each of their costumes is nicely done. The two exclusive Minifigures both have great outfits. Phastos’ costume is nice with the purple, dark blue and gold combining really well. Although Druig’s costume is a little more muted with red lines against the black, this gives him the most unique of all the Eternals outfits.
