There was a lot of excitement in the LEGO fan media for this release, but as a non-Marvel fan, I’m not super excited. I just happen to be sucked into collecting each Collectible Minifigure series. Thanks a lot LEGO! #71031: Marvel Studios was released on 1 September 2021 in the US and should be done in at the end of December. LEGO Shop @ Home shows out of stock, but you can still find them at other retailers like Walmart and Target. The price is $4.99 per bag and there are 12 minifigures total if you get a chance to do the feel test. My local Walmart never seemed to have them so I purchased them online. It stinks not being able to do the feel test and having to buy more, but thankfully, I can put extras in my store. Also, Walmart had them listed for $4.97 so you save two pennies on each.
My review won’t be super detailed as I don’t really know the characters, but I will assess them from a LEGO fan standpoint. Some overall comments, they all come with a jumper plate and the new-ish poseable piece (if that’s what you call it). They all mostly have pretty detailed parts with printed legs, torsos, and most have dual printed faces.
Overall, don’t get these unless you are a Marvel Studios fan or you are addicted to collecting minifigures. Otherwise, I still think $4.99 is too much for what you get and you probably won’t appreciate all of the details from the various movies/comics.
The Scarlet Witch has a lot of details and comes with a cape. There are also two of the flickable fireball things. I’ve never tried to send them for distance, but the instructions have a warning not to hit people in the face with them.
The Vision comes with a supped up laptop with a clear-blue screen. He also has a white cape which I don’t think we have seen often.
Monica Rambeau has a cool hairpiece. I’m not sure if we’ve seen it before or not, but I like it. There is also a small unmanned aerial system type build to go along with her.
Winter Soldier comes with a shield and knife/sword. The set actually has two of these blades together so you get an extra. He doesn’t have enough facial hair to warrant a beard piece, but just enough for printing of some scruff on his face.
Captain America has an interesting glider get up along with a 2x2 tile triangle (probably not the official name). This one was one of the easier ones to feel in the package before taking it out.
Loki has a coffee mug with a logo printed on it and the same logo is on his belt (again, not a Marvel fan, sorry). The little green guy he comes with is fun and he sits on a stud which works out well.
Sylvie has a mini alligator. which I think is cool. The minifigure comes with two manchettes. I posed her with both, but the instructions only show one..
Zombie Hunter Spidey might be the first I’ve seen that comes with two heads. I like that you can have the Spidey face or the non-masked face. As a bonus, you get a “string of web”
Zombie Captain America was the one I got the most of when opening up these packs. I’m not sure why as I wouldn’t think it would be the most popular, but apparently LEGO thought so.
Captain Carter was the hardest to find for me. LEGO limited orders to 16 (total) and Walmart let you place multiple orders, but only of 12 at a time. With my multiple orders, this minifigure only showed up once.
T’Challa Star-Lord comes with a hairpiece, mask, and two weapons. I like the purple shirt/jacket.
Gamora with Blade of Thanos. The green face is cool and the black hair with purple streak is interesting. The blade is pretty giant.
