Molten Man Battle Review
Lego Set 76128 Spider-Man Molten Man Battle Set is from the new film: Spiderman Far From Home. I’ll admit to be quite excited about this film so I ended up getting this set.
Mini-Figures
One of the reason I chose this set was the mini-figures. Indeed, the whole set is characters from the movie – one is just a lot bigger than a mini-figure.
Spiderman
This is a new mini-figure of Spiderman and his stealth suit. I’m not sure what role it will play in the film but I do like the look of it.
As is customary with Spiderman sets it comes with a range of accessories. Lots of different webs means lot of options for play and for posing.
Mysterio
Now it may be my bad memory but I also remember Mysterio as a bad guy. However, the trailers for the new film seem to suggest he’s actually a good guy. Perhaps my memory is failing, or maybe there is a twist in store.
All that being said, I’m really glad to add this mini-figure to my collection. He is as I remember him, complete with his dome and cape. He also comes with two power blasters which can be shot at Molten Man or anyone else in the way.
I’m looking forward to using him in some photography and he’s also a great good/bad guy to play with.
Firefighter
This set also includes a firefighter – which makes sense in context of Molten Man. However, it does feel a little strange having a “normal” mini-figure in a superhero set. That aside, he’s a good figure and has a fire extinguisher – which I’ve never seen before made from a gun part.
Molten Man
The main build is fairly quick but was quite good fun. There are two bags to keep it simple and it does incorporate stickers for some of the molten parts.
One arm has a hand that is capable of gripping and holding objects. It has not problem with holding mini-figures.
The other arm has a canon with a 6 stud shooter. They actually shot quite a long way so it’s fortunate you get 12 studs in the set.
I really like the “molten” effects all over the figure. There are bits of street light, street signs and a car attached to the figure. There is also “lava” dripping off him. All of this creates a good effect and is everything I hoped for from he set.
However, I found that the figure is not very stable during play. It’s easy to pose but as soon as you re-enact a battle the figure falls over and it can get quite annoying.
Conclusion
I’d recommend this set to you for the Mini-Figures and if you’re planning on using it for display purposes. However, if you’re hoping to be able to play a bit more with it, then maybe not. I guess it depends what you want to do with it.
