Review: LEGO Marvel 76260 Black Widow & Captain America Motorcycles

Today we take a quick tour of the content of the LEGO Marvel set 76260 Black Widow & Captain America Motorcycles, a small box of 130 pieces which will be available on the official online store and in LEGO Stores at the public price of €15.99 from June 1, 2023. The title of the product is sufficiently explicit, it is a question here of assembling two machines with their respective owners. The 130 parts of the product leave no room for doubt, the two motorcycles are made up of a handful of parts.

The designer is doing quite well on arrival, however, with two relatively detailed and sufficiently different machines for one or the other of these frames to be associated with its owner. Both machines are based on the same chassis and a few decorative pieces take care of the aesthetic variations so that Captain America and Black Widow ride different motorcycles and roughly conform to the versions seen on screen.

If Black Widow can hold the handlebars of her motorcycle with both hands by precisely adjusting the angle of the "handles" this is not the case for Captain America who is embarrassed by the new Tile with the counters placed between the seat and the handlebars. Too bad that the two handlebars are designed like this, the two parts used tend to easily come off their support.

The children will find their account there, there is enough fun even if it will be necessary to obtain some bad guys on whom to shoot with the Stud Shooters integrated into the sides of the two motorcycles. If you have a feeling of deja vu with these two motorcycles, it's normal, they take up the principle of those delivered in the LEGO DC set 76179 Batman & Selina Kyle Motorcycle Pursuit (2022)

On the side of the two characters provided, LEGO recycles here the minifig of Captain America already seen in the set 76189 Captain America and HYDRA Face-Off (2021) and provides a never-before-seen minifig of Black Widow that reuses the usual head and hair. The figurine is nicely pad-printed, we even avoid the flesh-colored area often present at the level of the neck, which in any case would not have been completely in line with the character's head because of the black background of the torso. The outfit worn here by the character is generally consistent with that seen in the film Avengers: Age of Ultron, it may be missing some patterns on the arms to refine the figure.

In short, this unpretentious derivative product is a simple toy for children, there is nothing here to satisfy the thirst of the most seasoned collectors knowing that the Black Widow figurine will undoubtedly be delivered in a future more substantial set. So it's up to you to see if you just need this new figure or if you prefer to wait for a few extra minifigs and a handful of bricks to go with it all.

The two motorcycles delivered here are both a little coarse but easily identifiable and the two figurines provided are interesting, it's always taken. 16 € for only two figurines, it is obviously now the price to pay at LEGO, we will do with it.
