Review: LEGO Marvel 76113 Spider-Man Bike Rescue

Go ahead for a quick peek at the LEGO Marvel set 76113 Spider-Man Bike Rescue (235 pieces - 24.99 €) which proves us once again that LEGO is convinced that Spider-Man really needs various and varied vehicles to go on a mission and face some bad guys.

Here we are entitled to a motorbike which could be acceptable if it was not oversized. The bike is really successful but the minifigure frankly looks ridiculous on the seat with the added bonus of a driving position far from natural. But it is necessary that the youngest have something to have fun and this bike is there for that.

Note that the mini spider drone launcher is functional but the web launcher placed on the left side of the machine does not launch anything at all.

If you are wondering where the two little gray spiders delivered here come from, it is on the side of the Nexo Knights range that you should look, for example in the set 72002 Twinfactor.

The other construction of the set is the generator "with explosion function". The term is a bit pretentious, it is simply a question of tilting a part to eject the two containers placed on it. Everything else is only decorative, with large reinforcements of stickers except for the yellow plates with the black bands which are pad printed.

Some of these stickers are also printed on a transparent support and the effect obtained is very convincing. I would like to see this type of sticker more often.

Everything that is to be built here is ultimately just a pretext to sell us three minifigs: Spider-Man, Miles Morales and Carnage.

The Spider-Man minifigure is a welcome evolution of the one we've already gotten since 2012 in over a dozen sets. The torso turns red with the blue areas now pad printed and the legs benefit from a two-color molding. It was time. Too bad, the blue pad printed on the chest is not exactly the same shade as the arms and legs.

Miles Morales is also an updated variant of the version seen in the set. 76036 Carnage's SHIELD Sky Attack marketed in 2015. Some modifications to the muscles of the torso, but not enough to get up at night if you already have the previous version. I would have put red hands on the character, he often wears gloves with red fingers in the various comics that feature him.

Carnage has undergone a nice facelift and the monochrome pad printing now gives way to details in two rather successful colors. I am however less convinced by the tentacles of this new version and I prefer the shape of the eyes of the minifigure of the set 76036 Carnage's SHIELD Sky Attack marketed in 2015. Carnage here uses the back support already seen on the Outriders in the Avengers Infinity War sets.

A note about these minifigs: LEGO could have made the effort to offer us faces without masks for Peter Parker and Miles Morales, just to be entitled to an alternative presentation and to make these figures even more attractive to collectors.

In short, nothing to discuss for hours on this box which quite simply offers three updated versions of characters already present at LEGO for several years. The big bike will amuse the youngest and the other construction will quickly end up loose in the bottom of a drawer.

24.99 € for a very small box, it's probably a bit expensive for collectors who already have the three characters delivered here, but it seems almost correct to me for a set which provides young fans with three major minifigs at once from the Spider-Man universe.
