Having built and reviewed the Iron Man and Thanos Mechs it was a given that I’d review the Spider-man Mech also, and here it is!
Box art front
The box art depicts Spider-man in his Mech swinging through the City ready to save people and battle enemies. I have always really liked the art on LEGO’s packaging.
Open up the box and, just like the other 2 Mech sets, 3 bags slide out, along with the instruction manual and a small sticker sheet.
Bags 1, 2, and 3
Sticker sheet
Consisting of 3 pairs of stickers, for the hands, shoulders, and feet.
Bag one:
This bag contains the Spider-man Minifigure (which I’ll review further down), an accessory bag of web pieces, and the torso of the Mech.
Bag one
The round tile on the Mech’s chest is printed and looks fantastic. The design and detail is great!
I always like getting these web pieces, they come in very handy, not only for the set, but for MOCs etc. Just like the Power/Water accessory elements that come with Dr Strange and Cpt Marvel, i usually keep these bags sealed until I need them, but of the purpose of this review I opened it.
Web accessory bag
Bag two:
This bag adds the hands, arms, and legs to the torso built in bag one.
Bag two
Two of the smaller web pieces are used on the shoulder blades and look really good.
Each hand has 3 fingers and a thumb, and a surprising but well implemented Web shooter, sadly it doesn’t actually shoot anything, it’s just a blue technic pin to hold some of the other Web pieces.
Bag three:
Bag three
The final build adds the lower legs & feet and the big spider legs/arms attached at the back.
Those big spider arms are great and look awesome but they’re somewhat cumbersome and quite difficult to position. The hands sometimes knock them when posing and restricts movement.
Minifigure:
Spider-man – Front & Back
This Spider-man Minifigure comes in a total of 5 sets (including this one), so it’s not particularly special or unique. Saying that doesn’t mean it’s any less cool, it’s Spider-man after all, one of Marvel’s most loved Superheroes!
The design is done well, and the printing has come out great. From the clear logo print to the suits lines and muscular shading.
Unfortunately there is no printing on the legs. I can understand why as it is a relatively cheap set (RRP £8.99).
Conclusion:
Another great Mech set and awesome for the price (RRP £8.99). The piece count, 152, is good for a set this size and you get some interesting elements.
The Spider-man Minifigure is great, as always, but by now everyone must have a handful of him, and could be somewhat less interested in purchasing this set.
Main build is easy and straightforward, consisting of a few repeated steps (hands, feet etc).
If you’ve collected and built the Iron Man & Thanos Mech, I would recommend this one, to complete the current lineup.

Do you have this set? What are your thoughts? Let us know in the comments below.
What is your reaction?
YES!
I like it
It's OK
Not Sure
No!
This is a good set, but the lower legs are better turned upside down and the sides swapped. This allows, much more movement for the foot and the sloped piece covers the knee joint. Same for the Ironman set.
