76261: Spider-Man Final Battle Set Review
As the Avengers Endgame Final Battle set has shown us, there’s a benefit to having a set released long after the film was. LEGO® sets inspired by movies often walk a very fine line. In order to be released alongside movies as they hit cinemas, sets are often based on concept material. In the case of the Marvel films, they also have to keep key plot points under wraps. This can lead to some interesting sets, many of which have...
76232: The Hoopty Marvel Set Review
Spanning 15 years and over 30 movies plus several streaming series, the Marvel Cinematic Universe has acted as inspiration for a large number of LEGO® sets. Many of the entries have been marked with a single set and that’s the case with the upcoming MCU entry, The Marvels. The film acts as a sequel to Captain Marvel, as well as a continuation of the Disney+ series, Ms. Marvel and WandaVision. The set in question is the ship used...
76249: Venomised Groot Set Review
Last year, the Guardian of the Galaxy’s adorable Flora Colossus got his own animated Disney+ series. As well as having his own adventures, Groot was also the inspiration for a buildable version of his infant form. As the second season of I Am Groot arrives on Disney+ it’s the perfect time to take a look at a brand new variant of Groot, one which has been transformed by the sentient alien symbiote Venom. Although this odd...
76266: Endgame Final Battle Set Review
It’s fair to say that when Avengers: Endgame was released the accompanying LEGO® Marvel sets were extremely disappointing. The sets were loosely based on the film, partly due to keeping the closing moments of the Infinity Saga under wraps. It wasn’t until long after the film’s release that we have been treated to LEGO sets which better reflect moments from the film. That’s certainly the case with this newly...
76267: LEGO Marvel Advent Calendar Review
For the second year running, I’ve been given the opportunity to take a look at the LEGO® Marvel Advent Calendar. Last year’s Advent Calendar was inspired by the Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special. This year’s release is a little more generic and is focused on the Avengers and The Infinity Saga. As with all of the LEGO Advent Calendars, there are 24 doors to open from December 1st. Each one features a different...
76250: Wolverine’s Adamantium Claws Set Review
Marvel has many iconic characters, most of their classic heroes and villains have come to the forefront thanks to the various MCU films. From the comic book era, Spider-Man could be considered Marvel’s poster child. But for a certain group of kids, the 90s animated X-Men series was a special moment in Marvel history. It tells the story of the mutants and is so beloved, that the series is being revived on Disney+. There are many...
31209: The Amazing Spider-Man Art Review
The LEGO Group’s output of licensed themes has rapidly grown just as the focus on offering sets for older builders has. There’s now a golden trio of Disney themes which offer a wide range of products from simple DUPLO sets to intricate large-scale display pieces. Marvel has become a great source of inspiration for displayable builds and the set I’m taking an early look at today is one of the biggest so far....
