Today we are quickly interested in the LEGO Marvel Spider-Man set 76149 The Menace of Mysterio, a small box stamped 4+ which combines a very basic assembly experience with a varied assortment of minifigs but far from being able to satisfy the most demanding collectors.

As usual in the 4+ boxes intended for the youngest, the two machines delivered here are based on meta-pieces that you have to dress up to obtain simplified but frankly playable constructions. Between Spider-Man's helicopter and Mysterio's robot, we find ourselves in the Mighty Micros atmosphere, less assembly pleasure.

While the pocket helicopter will not pass into posterity despite the good idea of ​​using claws in place of the usual skates, Mysterio's robot, an enlarged version of the character's torso, is a little more interesting with his post of control covered with a bubble and its movable arms. As you probably already know, there are no stickers in these boxes, so this is an opportunity to get some pad printed elements that can be reused for personal creations.

The gameplay of the set does not only depend on the possibility of a confrontation between Spider-Man, associated with Ghost Spider on his skateboard, and Mysterio at the controls of his robot: There is an additional stake with a bank to rob.

Here too, the construction is really very basic, but despite the cartoonish aspect of the thing the functionality of opening the trunk by removing the thick door on which the handle is located is interesting. The three fingers of each hand of the robot can grip objects or characters and Mysterio can therefore remove this element to allow access to the two small chests placed inside.

On the minifig side, of the three characters provided, two are not unpublished and are also delivered in sets marketed in 2019 and 2020. The Spider-Man figurine appears in four other sets: 76133 Spider-Man Car Chase, 76134 Doc Ock Diamond Heist, 76146 Spider-Man Mech and 76147 Vulture's Trucker Robbery and Ghost Spider was already present in the set 76115 Spider Mech vs. Venom (2019)

The big flaw of the Ghost Spider minifigure: The black color pad printed on the white background of the torso which tends to turn gray. It's far from fitting with the legs and on this specific point, the version of the set 76115 Spider Mech vs. Venom seems more polished to me.

The only truly new minifig in this box is that of Mysterio with his minimalist torso and his neutral head in Light Aqua placed under the globe which also served as a helmet for Mr Freeze in 2019. All the parts used here work quite well and we find a comic version of the character very faithful. Too bad for the legs which remain hopelessly neutral instead of benefiting from the basic yet basic pattern present on the torso.

The minifig is here equipped with a purple cape which covers the pad printed pattern on the back, with a piece of cape. It's a bit strange to find this piece of cape printed on the back of the figurine, but we'll do with it.

Finally, this little box does not deserve despite its public price a little too high (34.99 €) even if the most assiduous collectors of minifigs will be hungry for a single new character. There is plenty of fun here and, for the little ones, get your foot in the LEGO-style Spider-Man universe with simple builds but instant playability.

Note: The set presented here, supplied by LEGO, is as usual in play. Deadline fixed at April 13th next at 23pm. No emergency for the draws, the shipments will only take place when the sanitary situation allows it.

Update : The winner was drawn and was notified by email, his nickname is indicated below. Without a response from him to my request for contact details within 5 days, a new winner will be drawn.
