LEGO Super Heroes 76051 Captain America Civil War Super Hero Airport Battle Playset

Product Information

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. 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. 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.

The Winter Soldier comes with a gorgeous red motorcycle. The red top and the silvery frame is a new combination that’s never seen before and just looks incredible.

What Curators Say

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes building toys are compatible with all LEGO construction sets for creative building LEGO have released 3 Captain America: Civil War sets to coincide with the movie and with the battle royale premise that splits Marvel Cinematic Universe characters into two opposing sides (#TeamCap vs #TeamIronMan), fans end up being the winning side as the sets are filled with some of the most popular MCU characters. 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. 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 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. 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. 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. 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. 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 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 4×4 is 6 studs wide which means there’s not enough space for a passenger to sit next to Cap. I’m not a fan of the spring loaded missile jutting out into the passenger area. You’re meant to nudge it downwards to fire it, but it just looks like it doesn’t belong there and I swiftly removed the missile after I was finished with photography.
