Outside space features an explode function, buildable table, coffee cup, pizza slice and newspaper elements, 2 minifigure seats, buildable street lamp and flower elements. This Spider-Man toy building set for kids includes 3 Marvel Universe minifigures: Spider-Man, Mysterio and a firefighter. In terms of the design, it’s not unlike the printing on Civil War era Iron Man minifigure, with clearly defined armour plates in the gold and purple colour-scheme fans will be familiar with. It’s interesting to note that one of the fan theories based on the mention of a multi-verse is that this version of Mysterio is actually the equivalent to the Iron Man of his world – I doubt that has even been considered in the design here, but the similarities may certainly hint at that. Bridge features an explode function, attachment points for minifigures and web elements, sewer with LEGO rat figure, pizza slice element and a gem element. As this design is going very much for the standard private jet all-white look, there aren’t many opportunities for the designers to do anything overall exciting on the exterior and so with the exception of stud shooters, a one-stud circle piece and a light light translucent 1×1, there’s nothing but white flat pieces making up the bulk of the wings. The vertical wing tips are sadly not on hinges either, so there’s really not a lot that can be done with these to change the look.
The most noticeable thing here is the standard comic-book to MCU design upgrade in armour, there’s a significant amount of detail on the characters torso and legs. As a result of the upgrade in look, we get a much darker colour scheme than fans of the character may be used to, a darker green covering the minifigure as well as a more prominent gold replaces the more yellow colouring of the comic version.
The problem with the Stark Jet is the fact that this is a private jet essentially, and as a result we don’t get anything too fancy on it. Us Marvel fans have been spoilt for choice with jets and spaceships from both comics and movies over the last decade, and this one is just a little too generic to be of huge interest – I love my Endgame quinjet too much.
As this version of Fury is a bald character, this is no hair piece and only one face on the head which comes complete with eye-patch, goatie and slightly smug look. The biggest annoyance is that the eye patch strap doesn’t go all of the way around the head, but I’ll let that slip because of the very subtle, yet character perfect, scar lines around the patch itself. In terms of build, it’s great fun to construct, a good hour or so and despite some impressive building techniques on both the exterior and interior, there is very little in the way of complex fiddly bits to this plane’s construction. The torso armour design continues on to the legs piece with a wonderfully detailed waistline, impressively sharp given the tiny area of plastic to play with. Again, in comparison to the Iron Man armour design, the legs also include metallic looking knee plates and toecaps.

The set as a whole has playtime value with some great generic builds and figs that can be used elsewhere, as a AFOL collector, however, there isn’t a massive amount to get excited about here. This Spider-Man playset includes 4 Marvel Universe minifigures: MJ, Peter Parker, Mysterio and Hydro-Man, plus a LEGO rat figure. It’s a great Spidey minifigure, but if you’ve been collecting MCU sets for some time then there’s a strong chance you already have this in your collection.
