Today we quickly go around one of the three Action Figures of the LEGO Marvel range marketed since September 1, that of the set 76226 Spider-Man Figure with its 258 pieces and its public price set at 29.99 €.

I won't repeat the whole couplet for you on the very approximate aesthetics of the thing, we already talked about it on the occasion of the Review devoted to reference 76225 Mile Morales Figure. One could also imagine that these two figurines to be built are perfectly identical, they deal after all more or less with the same subject, but this one offers some variations in the assembly which will avoid a certain weariness to those who will offer themselves the all the sets offered for sale. However, LEGO retains the same joints here and, by extension, the same limitations in terms of character mobility.

It should also be noted that this version of Spider-Man incorporates three additional pad-printed parts at the level of the pelvis and the legs and it is perfectly executed: black ink (dark) and placed on a red background (lighter) and it works. The ball joints and other gray notched joints are logically more present on this red and blue figurine than on that of Miles Morales with his black suit. I also note that Spider-man's thighs and calves seem visually oversized compared to the rest of the figurine even if the feet, here in a single color, are on the other hand almost a little more discreet than with Miles Morales then that they are identical for the two constructions.

For the rest, the back of Spider-Man's head is just as bad as with Miles Morales, the back of the character is also sketchy, it is possible to have a little fun imagining original poses which will only be limited the arrival in abutment of certain textural elements at the level of the arms or the legs and LEGO delivers a handful of white fabrics to be clipped in the hollow of the hands.

In short, the set does not really take human form and we have the impression of dealing with robots or at least with humans in armor and these figurines do not revolutionize an exercise that must be recognized as difficult . Some rounded parts try to soften the shapes in places but the figurine remains a little too coarse to deserve to finish its career as a model placed on a shelf.

The youngest will be satisfied with it, the object is solid and easy to handle and there is enough to have a little fun. Regarding the assembly process, LEGO indicates that these products are intended for children aged 8 and over, but those less experienced will probably need a little help to assemble the ball joints shoulders and ankles that are a bit difficult to build.

So there is something here to please a few children, provided they wait for these figurines to end up at a bargain price at a few overstocked retailers. Which will inevitably happen eventually.

76405 HOGWARTS EXPRESS COLLECTOR'S EDITION ON THE LEGO SHOP >>

Today we are quickly interested in the content of the LEGO Marvel set 76225 Miles Morales Figure, a box of 238 pieces which will be available on the official online store and in LEGO Stores from September 1, 2022 at the retail price of €29.99. This product is positioned in the niche of Action Figures with LEGO sauce as other references already do, including the set 76206 Iron Man Figure (44.99 €) available since the beginning of the year.

This version of Miles Morales is a little less ambitious than that of Iron Man, with a much smaller inventory and a much lower public price. The toy obtained at the end of the assembly phase therefore becomes even more minimalist and coarse, but the children will probably not complain.

The emphasis here is indeed on the possibility of making the character take the most varied and improbable poses. The figurine is not stingy with joints and even if most of them remain far too visible not to harm the visual uniformity of the thing, the pleasure of being able to expose this Miles Morales in a really dynamic position is there . The figurine's mobility is only limited by the decorative pieces that come into abutment on the upper thighs, shoulders or elbows, but the range of possibilities remains very fair.

There are no stickers in this box and the different patterns visible on the character's costume are therefore stamped. It's almost successful if we forget the usual differences in hue which are here the consequence of the application of red ink on a black support. The effect obtained remains however acceptable and Miles Morales is not disfigured by this technical detail except for the eyes which are much less white than on the official retouched visuals visible on the official online store.

One could debate the part used to embody the face of the character: it is illusion under certain angles but not under others, in particular of profile and behind. It's hard to imagine the head of a human with this mask which is not for the occasion associated with an assembly that would give volume to the entire head. The piece pretty much worked to embody Iron Man's helmet but it doesn't really feel right to me to represent a more human form that would be wrapped in a loose suit.

The back of the figurine is also not what one might consider very detailed. It's rather sketchy and it's once again the figure's head that shocks a bit with a lot of empty space at the bottom and a clearly visible gray joint.

The solidity is required with the possibility of handling the figurine without paying too much attention, except perhaps for the fingers which are clipped on the hands and which only ask to be unhooked. The designer has thought of integrating a clip that allows the installation of the two fabrics provided and to obtain a visually very convincing effect. The character is also very stable on his two feet which may seem a little oversized to some.

It should not be forgotten that this product is aimed at a very young audience who will want to play with something other than minifigs and then be able to display these figurines on a shelf. LEGO offers here a compromise that seems acceptable to me with a figure that is certainly very basic or even simplistic from certain angles but which offers really interesting playful possibilities.

For 30 € or less as soon as other retailers offer this box at a price much lower than that practiced by LEGO, you should not be too demanding when you know the price policy of the manufacturer but this figurine gets away with it in my opinion pretty good if you take it for what it is: a simple child's toy, well articulated and strong enough to withstand long play sessions.
