The 76083 Beware The Vulture is one of two new Spider-man Homecoming sets to be released
for the 2017 Marvel Super heroes line.
At about 39.99 USD the set will give you 375 pieces, and four minifigures.
While this set is on a relatively small size, is it worth that price tag?
Lets pop it open and find out.
And there you have it, the set is a very quick build that shouldn't take very many experienced
builders a long time to complete.
Most of the parts are going to be going into that included van shocker drives, which has
quite a sturdy design albeit a bit simplistic.
One thing I do really want to give this vehicle credit for is the scale, which I find to be
very in line with the minifigures.
There's enough room to fit two figures in the front seats while also giving plenty of
room in the back for storage, more minifigures, and Well.
The van features an expandable canopy that can open up to reveal a hidden gatling gun.
First impressions are that the gun is a neat feature, but you'll soon come to realize
that because of its construction the actual movement the gun has is very restricted.
That's to say, it really has no movement at all.
It can't turn, it can't look up, aside from folding in and out you're really stuck with
that one position, making it pretty useless for play especially up against two very maneuverable
heroes like Iron Man and Spider-Man.
The canopies design works well enough and the roof can close back down nice and snugly
without things feeling misaligned.
Other than that there isn't too much to this vehicle, the color scheme is extremely
boring and uninteresting, an unfortunate side effect of translating a scene from a movie,
and it's cluttered with stickers to try and give it some kind of decal which ultimately
looks haphazardly placed and odd looking.
I guess these are supposed to be skid marks but they kind of just look like an attempt
at tiger stripes or something.
You can adjust the mirrors, but the doors don't open, forcing you to pull off the top
of the vehicle if you want to place any minifigures inside.
Moving on to the piece des resistance, the vulture is… surprising.
It's hard to get a sense of just how massive these wings are till you have it in your hand
but they're much larger than i was expecting them to be and this is both a good thing and
a bad thing.
More instance, it leads to an enjoyable and relatively thorough building experience.
The use of these nexo knights shield pieces to add texture to the wings is not only effective,
but it's also extremely satisfying to place them on, almost like completing a puzzle.
Each wing features two points of articulation, with the feathers having their own points
of articulation leading to some fairly dramatic poses, and the suit also features two turbines
on the back that can move freely as well, though the further back the wings are the
less range of motion you'll be able to achieve with them.
The wings have two stud shooters that oddly enough move with the wings when you move them,
which can look a little dopey at times.
The size of the wings create a very intimidating silhouette, but I can't help but think they're
just a bit too big once you have them fitted onto the vulture himself.
It's actually impossible for vulture to stand with them on, forcing some more creative solutions
to posing him.
The set comes with four minifigures, all of which are new and some even exclusive to this
set.
Spider-Man is our big one here, now at first glance you might think that we've seen this
figure before, but it actually isn't the same figure featured in the Tanker Truck Takedown.
There are some very small changes to the web pattern, belt, as well as a new spider-symbol
to reflect a more movie accurate appearance, since the original figure was based off preliminary
civil war designs.
There obviously aren't any alternate faces but it does feature back printing and some
printing on the sides of the arms there as well as dual molded legs Surprisingly enough
this is the only figure that isn't exclusive and can be found in other sets, which is good
because as a spider-man fan, this figure was already amazing before but with the minor
changes this is really well done and a must own to me.
The spidey figure also comes with quite a lot of web accessories, most we've seen
before, but some new ones are this flick fire missile-ish web attachments that be shot out
of spidey's hands.
Pretty cool stuff!
Iron Man is also sporting a new design to reflect his Ultimate comics inspired suit
from the Movie.
There is a ton of detailing on this guy's torso with a huge focus on solid line work
to really sell those panels and a lot of color layering.
I really like this figure, this design work here is just top notch and the metallic inks
used definitely add to the flare, though this is at the cost of any side printing, which
this figure lacks.
He comes with some stud attachments to simulate his thrusters.
And as with previous iron man figures he includes a helmet that can fit over his head… now
I don't know if this is a spoiler, so apologies in advance and consider this a formal warning,
but there's no tony stark under there, which really caught me off guard at first.
Not sure what plot significance this has if any, but I was kind of disappointed not to
get any tony head printing to accompany this figure.
The vulture minifigure is quite nice, though a step back in terms of complexity in his
design.
He features a lot of nice detailing on his torso as well as metallic gold bits to really
sell that aviator jacket but outside of that there's not much else in terms of printing
as most of his back printing is covered by the wing attachment piece.
The helmet works well given the scale but I find that the beak looks a little flat,
which is to be expected.
He only features one face print, which is… generic and looks nothing like michael keaton.
In fact this is the exact same face we've seen before with a previous vulture minifigure
so lego definitely cut a few corners here, but since you're going to have the helmet
on 90% of the time it's no big deal.
The shocker is definitely the throwaway minifigure for this set, with nothing about his design
really feeling very special or memorable outside of the massive power gloves he comes with.
His torso printing is dull, his face is generic, but he does come with some arm printing, simplistic
as it is.
No alternate faces, but at least he's an exlusive so he's got that going for him.
Overall the set is okay.
Like the tanker truck takedown, I find this set to really be a glorified mini figure pack,
with the actual set portions to be pretty forgettable and slapped on.
The vehicle is nice, but boring, the wings are cool, but just a bit too big, so overall
I can't help but feel like the piece count is a bit inflated, making it hard to justify
the 40 dollar price tag.
Perhaps if the van was a different color I would see more value in all the pieces it
includes, but alas as it is it doesn't really do anything for me as a consumer.
So ultimately, I find the thing that you're going to want to buy this for are the minifigures,
which are all pretty great.
THankfully lego does give you cheaper options if you want that spidey figure, but we'll
get into that with my next review.
