Review: LEGO DC Comics 76110 Batman The Attack of the Talons

Today we are interested in a somewhat strange set marketed since this summer: the DC Comics reference 76110 Batman The Attack of the Talons (155 pieces - 26.99 €) which is in fact a joyful patchwork of nods to the universe of the vigilante of Gotham City.

It was unlikely, but LEGO did. Mixing in the same box minifigs based on a dark arc (and ultra-popular) Court of the Owls, with Ace the Bat-Hound in a version obviously inspired by different recent animated series where the dog makes several appearances.

To dilute it all, LEGO is adding an aggressive looking vehicle that looks like it came straight out of the Batcave, but I couldn't find a trace anywhere. What a melting pot!

We will quickly forget the supplied tricycle which, even if it is rather pretty, is only there to ensure the quota "construction toy" of the set and to attract young fans. They will find in this box enough to expand the garage of their Batcave.

Smart choice, LEGO has provided space on the right side of the Bat-Moto to house Ace the Bat-Hound, a character who will also appeal to the youngest who have watched the various animated series featuring the character in a loop. .

The Batman minifigure, here dressed in Thrasher armor but without the logo on the chest, is stunning. Too bad for the absence of the black symbol which is still pad printed on the torso itself.

No noticeable printing problem on the copy I have, just a slight misalignment of the pads between the torso and the hips. Some fans will certainly be annoyed by this type of flaw.

In fact, the minifigure can almost do without the slightly neutral armor already seen in the set. 76044 Clash of the Heroes (2016) which conceals the pretty pad printing of the torso. The piece is consistent with the desire to replicate Thrasher armor, but the only aesthetic improvement seen is that it only swells Batman's torso. Small advantage when you notice that it hides the magnificent armor placed below.

The possibility of pad printing the two faces of the head of the minifigures is here put to good use. While we find a little too often simple variations of the look or the smile, LEGO offers here two very different impressions.

A side that fits perfectly under the mask with a red visor and a mouth covered with a grid that remains visible through the slit of the mask and a version where the visor is damaged and subtly reveals the face of Bruce Wayne. It is very successful.

The two lugs (Heels) provided in this set are identical and only differ by the weapons with which they are equipped. Rather logical, these assassins are all dressed in the same costume. Too bad for the lack of pad printing on the legs, a few lines, even discreet, would have been welcome.

To amuse the little ones, LEGO also throws in the box a whole series of oversized Batarangs without much interest. The MOCeurs will perhaps use it to dress their various and varied bat-vehicles.

Come to think of it, maybe all of this didn't deserve a € 26.99 box. A pack identical to the one carrying the reference 853744 containing Knightmare batman and two Parademons at € 12.99 would have been sufficient. Too bad for the dog and the tricycle.

The good news is thatamazon currently sells this box for less than 19 €. At this price, I say yes, to have fun, to add a new armor to its collection or to make a nice affordable gift on the occasion of a birthday.
