About this deal

Like the polybag version, the Winter Soldier minifig has his silver cybernetic left arm, which is slightly updated with more silvery details across the different segments. The red star is also slightly faded, perhaps to indicate him growing further apart from his origins as a Soviet agent. A glaring omission is printing on his arms and legs. It’s a shame that the great torso printing doesn’t extend across his entire body. This Captain America minifigure perfectly captures Steve Roger’s charismatic and nice guy look, complete with the new wavy hairstyle in nougat that first made its appearance on Superman in 76044 Clash of the Heroes.

Here’s a look at the underside of the jet. Again, nothing flashy and this is where they’ve (very cleverly) hidden two stud blasters. I love that they’ve concealed it from plain sight as stud-blasters usually look quite awkward and give LEGO models a kiddy feel. The printing on his torso is crisp and sharp, and combines futuristic armour definition, with an old school leather belt and shoulder straps. I’m a little disappointed that we won’t get any leg printing, which I’ve come to expect in licensed sets minifigures. The plain blue legs don’t detract from the overall look, but I’m all for details printed across the minifig – the technology is there after all. At long last, Marvel Civil War sets have begun popping up around the world. The heavily anticipated movie has Captain America going head to head against Iron Man and I’m extremely excited to watch it when it comes out in cinemas next month. Air traffic control tower is over 10” high, 9” wide, and 3” deep. Quinjet is over 3” high, 7” long, 12” wide in flight mode, and 7” wide in landing mode The small vehicle nails the look of a military 4×4 thanks to the large tyres, steel windshield and the intimidating bullbar down the front. It’s nice and chunky, and just feels rugged– all the things you’d expect from a decent 4×4.Here’s a closer look at the Captain America minifigure. This unmasked variant of Steve Rogers is exclusive to this set, but apart from his face, his body is identical to the minifigure in 76051 Super Hero Airport Battle, SHIELD Helicarrier and Avengers Age of Ultron sets. Includes minifigures of Captain America, Winter Soldier, Scarlet Witch, Iron Man, War Machine, and Agent 13, plus an Ant-Man microfigure and a buildable Giant-Man figure I’m really pleased with his choice of weaponry, we get an uzi machine gun which hasn’t shown up in too many sets and looks really realistic. Hurray for no stud blasters or kiddy-looking guns. Build an epic hero-vs.-hero battle with a supersonic Quinjet with hidden stud-shooters and folding wings, an “exploding” air traffic control tower, the gigantic Giant-Man, and more!

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes building toys are compatible with all LEGO construction sets for creative building Here’s a comparison with the previous version of The Winter Soldier which has a lot more of an evil-vibe to him. Like Captain America, I’m a little bummed out that we didn’t get any leg printing on him, whereas his predecessor had a leather strap on his right leg. This set completely and overwhelmingly satisfied me. It’s one of those rare LEGO sets where you can tell that the designers went above and beyond to deliver an amazing building and play experience that is just one step above most other sets on the market right now.The brilliant use of angled slopes that flank the jet’s nose really goes a long way in giving it a very nuanced organic look. I just love how the spaces between all the different elements are kept to a minimum using razor thin margins. Long-time Marvel fans will no doubt be very happy to add him to the ever-growing universe of Marvel Super Heroes minifigures and will most likely make this one of the most popular sets this year for collectors. The Winter Soldier is a fantastic variant of his previous version but I can’t quite say the same of Cap, who has lazy recycled torso. It’s appeared in like what, 6 sets and counting so far which is truly disappointing since LEGO has no problem giving us so many different versions of Iron Man. Why can’t Cap get the same treatment? Some battle-scarred attire would’ve been a great upgrade but instead, we get the exact same torso from 2015.
