Marvel Super Heroes

Set Review - #71039 - Marvel Studios - Series 2 - Collectible Minifigures

More collectible minifigures! This series is #71039 - Marvel Studios - Series 2. This set of 12 minifigures was released on 1 September 2023 for $4.99 each. Instead of bags, this series comes in cardboard boxes in order to save on the environment. I applaud the initiative, but if you haven’t seen any of the pictures online, the world has torn open the packages to find the minifigures they wanted since the feel technique doesn’t work anymore.. I purchased three packages of six minifigures each online. Surprisingly, with 18 minifigures, I managed to get all 12 in the series so that was a bonus.

I’m not a fan of Marvel so I can’t tell you details on these minifigures or how close or not they are to the actual characters. In this review, I’ll just point out some of the things I noticed about each figure.

Overall, no major complaints on this series. I recommend it for Marvel fans or CMF collectors. Otherwise, save your money for others.

Happy building!


Agatha Harkness - This minifigure comes with a book, cape, and two flicker shooter pieces (not sure of the official term). It comes with a jumper plate and one of the pieces to make it poseable, but she has a slope brick for a dress so you can’t really pose her. They could have done without the poseable piece for this one.

Moon Knight - I’m not sure who this minifigure is, but the little gold moon piece and coin is interesting.


She-Hulk - This minifigure comes with a few printed tiles so that’s a bonus. I like the face color and the hair piece color as well.

Hawkeye - The character doesn’t interest me much, but it comes with a small owl, which is great!


Kate Bishop - The printed tile pizza box is great. The dog has one eye printed on it, which I guess is on par with the actual character from what I read and is not a misprint.

Goliath - This one looks cool Not sure who he is. You can put the hair piece on if you don’t want the helmet.


Echo - I have no idea what this minifigure is holding. The printing on the pants and torso are interesting.

Beast - Again, no idea who this character is, but the blue hair piece and face look cool.


Mr. Knight - I like the fish tank printed on the 1x2 clear brick. The minifigure doesn’t do much for me.

The Werewolf - I’m not a fan of this minifigure, but I also don’t know the character so maybe that’s why.


Storm - The white hair piece is a cool piece.

Wolverine - I’ve seen Wolverine minifigures in the past. I’m not sure how this one compares, but it looks okay Like some of the previous ones, you get a hair piece and the mask.

Set Review - Spider-Man: Web Warriors Ultimate Bridge Battle - #76057 - Marvel Super Heroes

The first set review of 2017 is not a 2017 set.  Sorry.  It instead is a Marvel Super Heroes set featuring Spider-Man.  Specifically it is #76057, Spider-Man: Web Warriors Ultimate Bridge Battle.  Released on 1 August 2016 in the US, it has 1092 pieces and at a retail price of $99.99 that works out to be $0.092 per piece.  Not too bad considering it comes with 7 minifigures.  I scored the set for $58.99 on Amazon.com during the weeks leading up to Christmas and will gladly take the ~40% off deal that I got (that's $0.054 per piece).  Besides the great deal I got, I also was intrigued by the bridge as I don't recall any other sets that come with a larger sized bridge.  Onto the review...

Similar box design to other Super Heroes sets.  The back shows the play features and all of the different moving parts.

Set contents are 8 parts bags, 2 large 8x16 tiles, and a package with the instruction book, stickers, and a comic book.  As a note, I will not be putting the stickers on this set after I build it.  The plan is to build it, do the review, sell the minifigs, and keep the parts (in my opinion, there are some good ones).

Bag one contains Spider-Man, the Green Goblin, the Green Goblin's Glider, and one of the bridge piers with some webs containing Spider-Man's camera.   It also contains a piece separator which are becoming very standard with the larger sets.

The next build is the second pier.  It is the lair of Kraven the Hunter and includes his minifigure.  It also includes Aunt May and a small 4-wheeler type police vehicle.  I'm not sure what the purpose is as it doesn't include a police minifigure.

The 2 bags that make up the third part of the build start the span of the bridge.  It also includes Spider-Girl.  Not much detail in the build yet, but you can see the start of where the bridge breaks apart.

Bag 4 adds more detail to the bridge and adds the 2 piers.

Bag 5 adds the Scorpion, starts adding to the tower, and adds a taxi.  The taxi has a number of stickers that I didn't apply, but the outside doesn't look too bad.  The inside leaves a bit to be desired as it only fits one minifigure... which isn't included.

Bag 6 includes Scarlet Spider and finishes the majority of the tower.

Bag 7 wraps up the build with the final part of the bridge (signs fall apart and flames), the rest of the tower (the wall pieces can fall out), and the suspension cables.

I'm not going to lie, I purchased the set because it was 40% off and as a City fan, I was interested in the bridge.  So my take on the bridge... the piers leave a bit to be desired.  I realized they were developed for play and not for design, but I think they could easily be modified to make them more realistic looking. The bridge span, despite the play features, is built pretty good.  The edges of the bridge have some detail and then the bridge surface itself is done well.  The only thing I would have done differently would be to expand the width of the bridge.  Right now, you can fit only two, 4-stud wide vehicles on the bridge at a time.  I would increase it or perhaps add a second span similar to the Brooklyn Bridge in NY.  The tower has some good detail as well and could be changed to get rid of some of the play features.  I would be interested in trying to modify the bridge so a train could fit on it.  

The set itself... for a kid it isn't too bad... 7 minifigures and a bunch of play features.  The build isn't too challenging although I didn't apply the stickers.  It's retail price isn't too bad, but if you can catch it on sale again, then go for it.  For the adult fan, my opinion is to only go for it if they are big into Spider-Man or you get a great price.  I'm happy to have reviewed it and then to take it apart and use the pieces for other builds as there are some great pieces.  I really like the 1x2 bricks with the layered brick tile.  There are a number of other great parts too.

What are your thoughts?  

Happy Building!
