LEGO Marvel Superheroes Mighty Micros: Scarlet Spider Vs. Sandman (76089) Review

Stage a LEGO® Marvel Super Heroes Mighty Micros duel between Scarlet Spider’s Spider Jet and his super villain enemy Sandman’s Sand Loader. Scarlet Spider is equipped with a spade element and Sandman has a sand mallet to add to the role-play battle fun. This cool superhero toy for kids includes 2 minifigures with mini legs.

Here is a look at the packaging:

With this set sliding into pocket money territory, I think this offers great value for money, two great minifigures and two usable vehicles, that kids can actually play with, means this is a easy recommendation to pick up.

It’s great to see Scarlet Spider included in this series, especially in a low priced set, since he has only been in the larger Web Warriors Ultimate Bridge set before.  So that is a good bonus for Marvel fans.  And if you need to bulk out your villains, its good to see the Sandman back in a cheaper set as he hasn’t been in one for a few years either.  Both designs are slightly different to their original debut designs and its worth noting that these have mini legs on them, so don’t have any movement on them, which is a shame.

Personally I think the Sandman’s vehicle is the better of the two, I like the construction dump truck look, especially how it uses its steering wheel, which is completely different to the other Marvel Mighty Micro sets out at the moment.  The Scarlet Spider vehicle also has some cool features on the back, but its a little generic overall.

Here is a closer look at this Marvel LEGO Set:

Here is my video review of this LEGO Scarlet Spider Vs. Sandman set:

OVERALL:  While many Spider-Man fans will probably have preferred a original Spider-Man minifigure, but with so many other sets including him, its great to see Scarlet Spider in here along with the Sandman.  The two vehicles are both small but offer plenty of fun to younger LEGO builders, however for older collectors, this set is more of a bonus since they are designed for play rather than display.

REVIEW SCORE: 7 out of 10
