I'm just glad it's not an Endgame set! Lol!
This set was first previewed here.
XH1345 - Lizard
XH1346 - Fire Elemental / Moltenman
XH1347 - Michelle Jones (MJ)
XH1348 - Wind Elemental / Cyclone
XH1349 - Iron Man (Skeleton/Dead Illusion)
XH1350 - Superior Sider-Man
XH1351 - J. Jonah Jameson
XH1352 - Mysterio
Right off the bat, Lizard is using the same body as Lego's Hagrid. I love the overall size but the big tummy makes him look a bit off and less menacing. The two elementals on the other hand look pretty decent, but in terms of design, I think I prefer the elementals bigfigs that XINH also released.
Prints on the teeth aren't perfect as you can see lots of scratches.
The only other Lizard fig [that's relatively easy to acquire] is POGO's Lizard bigfig.
As for the Elementals, XINH also has the Earth and Water Elementals as minifigures in case you're interested.
The first Jameson bootlego minifigure? And of course, it's not a XINH set without an Iron Man minifigure, lol! But this one's a good one to have especially if you loved the Mysterio scene in Far from Home.
No Tony head inside.
I'll just say that this MJ/Michelle minifigure is much better than what Lego released since that design just reused a regular city minifigure torso for her.
The "real" Mysterio. I love that XINH was able to print on the dome helmet!
XINH X0268 Grading:
Plastic Quality: 5/5
No issues here! Even the Hagrid mold was really good.
Print Quality: 3.5/5
Maybe a four too but the number of scratches on certain print designs leaves a lot to be desired.
Build Quality: 5/5
I had no issues with articulation or anything like that. The build process was also smooth with no too tight or too loose attachments.
Design Choice: 3/5
Neutral here because these are not new characters but they are definitely new variants. Some of them are probably must-have minifigures for MCU fans while the others are just a waste of slots in this set.
XINH quality has been a bit confusing lately. Some of their figs haven't been as great as they used to be but sometimes they still have really good quality figures which I think these are. Design-wise, XINH is still really invested in the MCU but since we're not gonna see a new MCU movie until next year, I have high hopes that XINH will return to making more other themes soon!
