Today we are quickly interested in the content of two sets from the LEGO Marvel range, the references 76284 Green Goblin Construction Figure (471 pieces - 37.99 €) and 76298 Iron Spider-Man Construction Figure (303 pieces - €34.99), which have been available since April 1 on the official online store, in LEGO Stores as well as at some resellers.

It is not necessary to go into detail once again about the concept of these Action Figures in the LEGO sauce with their qualities and their faults already highlighted here on several occasions during other tests, but I must admit that I have the feeling here that the format finds a certain maturity and these two figurines seem to me quite completely acceptable.

There remain the usual "problems" of joints with limited amplitude and pieces whose color does not match the rest of the outfits offered, but there is still something to please the youngest with characters well represented and easily manipulated.

The icing on the cake is that Iron Spider and Green Goblin both come with buildable accessories that take the playability a little further and also make these figures products capable of being proudly displayed between two play sessions .

Everything is pad printed, we don't stick any stickers on these two figurines and that's all the better for allowing them to withstand intensive handling. Each of the two characters can take interesting poses and even if we could talk for a long time about the aesthetic choices at work here, the main thing obviously remains the possibility of really having fun with these figurines.

The assembly process remains, as usual with this type of product, very basic and you will not spend hours building these two figurines which take shape very quickly. The Green Goblin's glider, however, offers some interesting sequences based on elements from the LEGO Technic universe which help to sweeten the pill of the set's public price. The machine can then accommodate the character and the whole thing works quite well visually in my opinion. Same observation for the articulated arms to be fixed on Spider-Man's back, even if the assembly sequence is summarized here in its simplest form.

The back of the two figurines is a little less detailed than the front but the finish is still very acceptable as is for Action Figures in the LEGO version, the faces are far from perfect with still strange angles on the part used, a variant of which with a raised nose is attached to the torso of Green Goblin and the back of the skull of these two figurines is still also cubic and failed. Four fingers on the hands, there is no room to add one to be credible but no one will blame LEGO for this compromise which remains acceptable.

I had fun with these two figurines by trying to make them take dynamic poses, the possibilities are there and the few aesthetic defects are quickly forgotten in the face of the obvious playability of these products without any particular pretension aside from their playful vocation.

It is undoubtedly vain to hope that LEGO will one day produce the parts necessary for the joints of these figurines in the colors which would make them more discreet, we can console ourselves by saying that this choice is voluntary and is part of the "signature" decisions. " of the brand in the same way as the blue pins which often remain clearly visible on products from the LEGO Technic range which would however happily do without this visual distraction.

In summary, these two products do not revolutionize the genre but are a continuation of what LEGO has been offering for several years now in the same format and I even find a certain charm in them.

It is obvious that it is advisable to pay less for them than their public price and to try to offer both so that each of the characters can face the other instead of sitting alone on the corner of a shelf. These two boxes are currently available from Amazon for a few euros less than their usual public price, which is always a bargain:

Today we take a quick tour of the content of the LEGO Star Wars set 75383 Darth Maul's Sith Infiltrator, a box of 640 pieces which will be available at the public price of €69.99 from May 1, 2024.

The most avid fans of the LEGO Star Wars range know that this is not the first time that LEGO has tried to reproduce the Scimitar, I have never really been convinced by the different interpretations marketed since 1999 and this one will probably not change my mind. However, the designer has tried here to integrate some welcome features as if to compensate a little for the relative sadness of the object with its slightly outdated look.

We can possibly console ourselves by considering that the homage to the 25th anniversary of the range is perfectly rendered here, this ship takes us back a few years with its approximate proportions and its super finish. microfighter. The assembly is quickly dispatched, and we benefit from the arrival of some rather interesting functions including the possibility of integrating Darth Maul at the controls of the ship on his somewhat simplistic speeder, of dropping a few DRK-1 probe droids through the hatch planned, deploy both landing gears and shoot anything that moves via both Spring-Shooters installed at the front.

It's a child's toy, so you can have fun with it. Long-time collectors who are still waiting for an acceptable version of the ship will have to be content with this interpretation while waiting for something better, it won't be this time unless we consider this attempt as on scale. Midi Scale and that we tinker with a support identical to the other vessels available in the Starship Collection in the same format launched this year.

Nothing is planned to put the ship in flight position, I tinkered with the support made up of transparent parts that you see in the photos below.

As for the provision of minifigs, it is correct but without ambition: Darth Maul is delivered without cape or hood while the character would have been more faithful to the outfit seen on the screen if he had been equipped with these clothing attributes , Anakin Skywalker and Qui-Gon Jinn are acceptable as is except for the beige color of the latter's legs which does not match the color of the torso and the new and exclusive minifig of Saw Gerrera is a little off topic in plus being delivered in a green color next to the plate. I understand the desire to include new characters in these boxes that are not necessarily linked to the theme of the product, but there was undoubtedly room for a little more consistency in the choice of associated figurines.

LEGO has, however, had plenty of time to refine this Saw Gerrera figurine; offering it in a more faithful color would have been appreciable despite the very advanced pad printing. We'll be content with that, this will surely be the one and only appearance of the character at LEGO for a good while even if I don't despair of seeing him reappear in a stamped set Rogue One A day. We know that LEGO has not finished spinning out the Star Wars universe, so there is hope.

We obtain in passing a base which allows us to present this collector figurine as it should be with a plaque stamped with an illustration celebrating the 25 years of the LEGO Star Wars range and a Plate provided which will allow this display to be connected to others of the same barrel delivered in other boxes. No stickers in this box, the pretty one Dish of the vessel is pad printed.

In short, this box will probably not make an impression and many will undoubtedly wait to find it at a more reasonable price than the €70 requested by LEGO to add the few figurines provided to their collections.

The 25th anniversary of the range undoubtedly deserved something more accomplished so that the celebration was notable, here we are faced with yet another attempt, neither totally failed nor really successful, to offer us this ship in a LEGO version. The model is however equipped with several functions which make it a real toy, that's already a given.
