Review: 76134 Spider-Man Doc Ock Diamond Heist

We continue this series of quick tests of the new LEGO Spider-Man with the set 76134 Spider-Man: Doc Ock Diamond Heist (150 pieces - € 29.99), a box stamped "4+" whose content is therefore suitable for the little hands of the youngest fans of the Marvel universe.

And it is an understatement to say that the contents of this box are accessible to the youngest: there are some very large basic elements that simplify the assembly such as a boat hull (which floats), a half-cabin, several uprights for the harbor crane and even a yellow Roller Coaster rail and a Porsche 911 RSR headlight which here serves as a canopy for the cockpit of Spider-Man's plane.

The faster it is mounted, the faster we can play. This is the case here, with a set that does not require an engineering degree or extraordinary patience. Everything is assembled in the blink of an eye without the help of parents and we can quickly get down to business.

The harbor dock and the crane are welcome to set the scene for the clash between Spider-Man and Doctor Octopus. It's Pearl Harbor here, with Spider-Man who can bomb Doc Ock's speedboat from his glider (or supersonic jet, it's up to you).

At least the Octopus boat has the merit of being equipped with two robotic arms that allow you to hang the villain's loot on it. Everything is there, from the colors of the character's costume to the pad-printed symbol placed on the front of the shell.

Use in the bathtub for even more epic adventures thanks to the one-piece shell already seen in several sets of the Junior range (10755 Zane's Ninja Boat Pursuit et 10737 Batman vs. Mr. Freeze).

Everyone knows, Spider-Man is nothing without the armada of custom vehicles that he probably stows away in his Spider-Cave. Here, it's a glider that allows him to track Octopus.

The machine is basic with a few parts to be placed on the meta-cabin provided and everything is embellished with a pretty pad-printed logo to be attached to the nose of the device. The cockpit is protected by the canopy which also serves as a headlight for the Porsche 911.

Two disc launchers can knock out the bad guy and LEGO, who knows the kids will lose those two white discs, provides two more ammunition.

Three characters are delivered in this set with a Spider-Man which takes the torso and the head of the minifigs provided in other boxes but which must here be satisfied with simple legs without pad printing or two-color molding.

On the other hand, Doc Ock's minifigure is really accomplished, with a new design that alone justifies investing in this set to afford this detailed version of the character's costume. The torso is stunning, with plenty of detail for the character's metal belt. Too bad the legs remain neutral, they would have at least deserved some mechanical elements on the front of the feet.

The back of the Octopus minifigure is also very detailed and it is almost a shame that it is masked by the accessory (already seen on the Outriders and on Carnage) which serves as a support for the four mechanical arms here symbolized by simple droid arms.

For even more playability, LEGO adds in the box a generic worker to control the crane and whose torso already appears in a dozen boxes of the LEGO CITY range and even in a set of the Speed ​​Champions range (75883).

To put it simply, I say yes but on sale. No stickers, three characters, two simple machines but which will give ideas to the youngest and a magnificent minifig of Doc Octopus, it is more than enough to convince me but rather around 20 € as is currently the case at Amazon :
