Review of Ant Man: Final Battle

Hi, I'm going to give you a break from the Kalaxir shenanigans. Instead, I'm going to give you a semi-serious review of Ant-Man Final Battle.  This is the only Lego Ant Man set, which seems as though the set is contractually obligated, but Lego didn't really want to make it. Nevertheless, they did an excellent job.

First off, we have the real point of the set, the minifigures.  The rest of the set doesn't have to exist and I'd still be happy.

I suspect Hank Pym is going to be a villain in this movie towards the end.  I mean, it's not like that hasn't ever happened in the comics.  Also, black and red are traditional villain (or anti-hero) colors.  Of course, this is a guess, but...  I suspect there will be a three-way fight at the end of the movie between Scott Lang/Ant Man, Hank Pym, and Yellowjacket/ Darren Cross. *


 Scott Lang/Ant Man has Ezra Bridger's head from Rebels, while Hank Pym has Gandalf's head.  Hank Pym also comes with an all-black head for no evident reason. The minifigures really don't come with too many accessories ,which is kind of annoying.
 Yellowjacket is the best minifigure of the bunch.
He uses the generic badguy face, and his suit comes with two stud shooters.

 The ant is a bit of a complex build, which is nice.  It is the largest part of the set by far.  It also scares my mom whenever she sees it.

This is clever. The two lego pieces are both real size and giant size.  Those two blue things are supposed to be ants.  They are exclusive to this set.

The giant-sized legos are cool, but the screw catapult is a bit odd.  It makes for an interesting play feature, but toy screws and legos don't really go together.

The set also comes with a transparent super jumper piece.  Don't use them, however, as they damage minifigure legs remarkably fast. and don't work well enough for me to consider using them,  Overall, this set gets a 7 out of ten, with points docked for generic faces, few accessories, and super jumpers.   Pros include a lot of nice pieces on the ant and unique minifigure body designs, as well as the clever lego bricks in two sizes. I heavily recommend this set, especially for Star Wars or Super Heroes fans.


*Spoiler:  I was wrong.  I don't know why Hank's suit is all black,  It's created for the set, it seems.
