Review : 70913 Scarecrow Fearful Face-off

It's the turn of the smallest box of this second wave of sets based on The LEGO Batman Movie to go to the mill. The and 70913 Scarecrow Fearful Face-off with its 141 parts and two minifigs, however, has much more to offer than it seems at first glance.

The official presentation, a little pompous as usual:

Let's get to the point, the main interest of this set is the presence of Scarecrow in a "real" version. The minifig seen in the set 70910 Scarecrow's Special Delivery in pizza delivery outfit had left some fans hungry.

For the rest, Batman is here equipped with a jetpack which earned him to be delivered without the yellow belt usually provided in sets based on the film. The belt is here pad printed directly on the chest, as is the case in the "classic" DC Comics sets.

Small detail to note, it is necessary to remove the flames that come out of the two boosters to put the minifigure. Or put it in balance on a support.

Scarecrow's flying machine is sketchy but nice. He is like the character: rustic and dilapidated. Some stickers improve the overall appearance of the whole with the emblem of the character on the rear wing and some visual details on each side of the engine.

Personalized stud shooters integrated sides allow ejecting of bottles of Fear Gas. It's fun, it works pretty well.

LEGO has not forgotten to decline again its concept of "modular factory" in this set with a new section which takes up the theme of the elements seen in the sets 70900 The Joker Balloon Escape, 70901 Mr. Freeze Ice Attack et 70910 Scarecrow's Special Delivery from the previous wave.

This new section cannot be attached to the others, they will remain independent. Pressing the yellow Tile will eject a canister of Fear Gas. Not enough to cry genius, but at this price, we did not expect much better.

The minifig star of this little box is obviously Scarecrow, aka the Scarecrow in French, which is provided here in its "real" usual outfit. Pad printing is correct, despite some color variations depending on the color of the base surface and a slight difference between the pieces.

The mold of the hat / hair combo is identical to the one seen in the set 76054 Scarecrow Harvest of Fear, released in 2016. For the rest, this new version is in my opinion much more attractive.

It's up to you to choose between this version and that of the sets 76054 Scarecrow Harvest of Fear (2016) 10937 Arkham Asylum Breakout (2013) and the more basic one seen in the sets 7785 Arkham Asylum (2006) et 7786 The Batcopter: The Chase for Scarecrow (2007)

This little box therefore deserves all your attention if you are a collector of minifigs and you are interested in this new version of Scarecrow. The flying machine delivered is rather nice and sticks well to the character's universe. 14.99 € in the LEGO Shop.

Note: We do as usual, you have until June 10, 2017 at 23:59 p.m. to manifest yourself.
