Black Panther Rhino Face Off Review

The Oscar winning Black Panther was a great film for a great character. But does the Rhino Face Off By The Mines Lego Set 76099 live up to it? Let’s find out.

Mini Figures

One of the main draws about the Marvel Super Hero Lego Sets is the mini-figures. And this set doesn’t disappoint. We get Black Panther, Killmonger and Okoye. Three major mini-figures in one set at this price point feels pretty good to me.

Black Panther has great markings on the face and body but unfortunately nothing on the legs. It’s not a massive problem but it would have been nice to have his boots and claws. His “ears” are as well executed as possible for a circular head set so no complaints there.

The Killmonger mini-figure is, in my opinion, better. The markings stand out more although he doesn’t have leg markings either. As you an see he looks a bit more vibrant. Whichever you prefer, they’re both great additions to my marvel superhero collection.

Lastly we have Okoye. She is fairly well executed and comes with a spear. Here she is riding into battle.

The mini figure selection in this set is great. Particularly the two main characters from the film. It’s almost worth it just for that reason.

The Mine

The mine is a fairly straight forward and quick build. (That is to be expected for a set at this price point). We get a short section of track with an “exploding” function on one end. Unfortunately, the exploding feature doesn’t actually knock the mining cart off particularly well so that isn’t a great play feature. The track is also very short which is slightly disappointing and limits playing with this part of the set.

The mining car is fairly well built and you can tip the vibranium out. That would probably be more fun if the track was slightly longer.

Overall, this part of the set is what we have played with the least. I think it is probably best as a back drop but not much fun to play with.

The Rhino

As the name of the set would suggest, the Rhino is a big feature of it. And indeed this is where it gets more interesting.

It was pretty fun to build and turns out very sturdy – as you’d expect from a Rhino.There are stickers for the armour and it’s simple enough for younger children to build. The legs all move although not a lot. Again, I guess that is how you’d expect a Rhino to move. In fact, using the Rhino to knock over the mining car is more fun than the exploding track you’re supposed to use.

One of my favourite things about the Rhino is it’s head which was fun to build and looks great. It has armour, ears, horns and articulates. What’s not to like.

As you can see above there is a seat for Okoye (or anyone else) to ride into battle and she has two blasters to help defeat any foes.

The Rhino is a good part of this set. It’s sturdy, has shooters, and lots of play potential.

Conclusion

Overall this set is ok. The main draw for me is the mini-figures and it’s a little let down by the mining section. The Rhino is good. I think it’d only get this when it is slightly discounted and then only really if you want the characters. It’s probably not my favourite marvel super hero set.
