Today, the LEGO Group officially revealed a new scale of superhero sculpture. Measuring around 17 cm high and a similar width, the details incorporated in these sculptures extend beyond the helmet, to incorporate a complete mini-bust, along with a representative minifigure. The Mk4 Iron Man, along with the Iron Spider, will be the first to appear in June and August, respectively. They will be priced at $AUD99.99/$USD59.99/€59.99/£54.99 – in a similar price bracket to the previous helmet/mask series, and are available to preorder in some markets. Let’s take a closer look…
The final episode of the first season of X-Men’97 – an animated series on Disney Plus – drops today. Branko has taken a look at the latest version of the X-Men Jet. How does it shape up on its own, or in comparison with the previous version?
Today, we will be exploring one of the background heroes from the X-Men universe (X-maniverse?), the X-Men Jet. This jet shows up in many X-Men comics and movies but never really takes the lead. Like many X-Men characters, the jet changes appearance regularly, so we’ll have a look at how swooshable and showable this new jet is. In doing so, we will also compare it to a previous incarnation: 76022 X-Men vs The Sentinel.
This 76281X-men jet contains 359 pieces retailing at AU$99.99/ £74.99/US$84.99/€84.99, which, let’s be plain, is expensive. The LEGO Group provided this set for review purposes. All opinions are our own. And that opinion is: It’s very expensive, but is there more?
What makes this Jet tick? Is it worth the upgrade if you already have the previous one? How about the mini figures? Do they offer anything special? Why don’t you come along for a meander across various aspects of this 76281X-men jet after the break.
Today, the LEGO Group have revealed the forthcoming Marvel Collectable Minifigures range. Featuring figures from Marvel TV Series on Disney Plus – Wandavision, the Falcon and the Winter Soldier, Loki and What If…. There are some characters here that might not feature in sets of their own, but which will certainly inspire creativity amongst builders. There will be 12 figures in the series, which will be released on 1st October 2021. Read on for full-size images and my thoughts.
