Box

I think this set will be a hit here because of the minifigs that comes with this set, Iron Man Mk42 and War Machine. So here's another review that I manage to get from the states. The front are printed with serial number, name and even introduction to the character on the bottom left. The top side of the box shows use Iron Man Mk42 in his actual scale while the back show us the playability that this playset provide.

Content

We have two bags of bricks that are packed in this box. Since the detail on the ship are not printed, we have a piece of sticker sheet. There is also a comic book which compile all the story from the 3 sets, so I think all of the set have the same comic book. Last but not least and instruction book that guide you.

Accessories

The set comes with two piece of accessories, a gun and a dynamite. Other that are not in picture are the translucent red and light blue part that are use by Iron Man and War Machine, since they are pretty much of a bricks.

Minifigs

What can I said, the Iron Man and War Machine is just awesome while Killain is just so so. No idea how The Mandarin and Extremis get together since they are separate entity in the comic. Here's some summary of the minifigs.

Starting with Aldrich Killian minifigs, his leg is not printed, probably is some formal wear which do not need any print. He wear a coat and there is a belt printed on the torso, while the back of his torso are printed with tow lines, so is counted as printed too. His head can glow in dark and the there are two expressions printed, one grumpy expression and one injured expression.

Iron Man Mk42 looks great too and this is the cheapest to own it. The gold paint are darker tone if compare to the previous Avengers version while the paint of the torso are quite shiny too. His torso are printed on both front and back. The printed leg looks pretty cool too.

War Machine is finally released, but is a new version of War Machine. The prints on the torso are quite detailed too and there are prints at the back too which is pretty nice as well. Too bad it was covered the piece that hold the cannon on his back. All the paint are a little shiny, especially the silver colour. Legs are nicely printed too and that really add details to the minifigs.

Buoy

The buoy are added to add playability value. Sticker are needed to add a little detail on it, but I do not stick them on. The only playability here is the so-called exploded buoy, which you press hard on the grey tiles and it will push the top part of the buoy up.

Boat

The boat looks great, it have some empty compartment at the front and two missiles at the back. Suitable for City lover, you can use the boat for your city folks, just by removing the missiles. Also the boat is very spacious too and probably can fit a one or two more minifigs in it.

Here's the front compartment which is pretty spacious too. It can fit Iron Man but not War Machine, maybe due to his back pack. To reveal the compartment you must completely remove the hood, instead of open and close function.

Next is inside the boat, there is a steering available for Killian to control the boat. On the both side of the steering are clipper that are use to hold his gun and dynamite. Seems like a very useful clipper and logic since it made his weapon reachable.

Now at the back of the boat there are two missiles but this time they way of releasing the missiles is a little different since you do not need to flick it but instead push the lever at the back of the boat down and the missiles will came off automatically.

The lever are divided to both side, you can launch one missiles too and the other one later. The missiles will keep the lever up all time, and down when released since there are no support. It flies quite far and will not land on the boat itself.

Extra pieces

There are quite a number of extra pieces included in this set too.

Completed model

My advise, get the set even if you are not super heroes fans. Why? The ship can use in your city and it blends pretty well with just a little tweak. The minifigs are awesome and a couple of rare parts, well spent money I would say.

Playability: 6/10 Exploding buoy and missiles and hidden compartment.

Building experience: 6/10 The final model are nice, nice to build.

Parts: 4/10 A lot of extra parts, and there is long slope part.

Value for money: 8/10 This set is fairly priced due to the reason that people are selling both Mark 42 and War Machine at around MYR50 each.

Overall: 5/10 Nice figs and nice boat.
