hello everyone this is the Lego Marvel superheroes sanctum sanctorum showdown
set and set itself may contain some spoilers for the infinity war movie so
if you don't want any spoilers for that movie be sure to not watch videos like
this that are about infinity war stuff also please be sure to check out the
pinned comment on the video before you comment yourself now the building I
would say is almost as nice as it looks at first glance this was given a lot of
care in its design almost on the level of the creator expert modular building
it's got a new print for the window up there and a lot of texture and detail
and changes of subtle colors so it looks pretty realistic with just a very modest
number of stickers that are used I think just where they're needed only the left
half of the building is dedicated to the sanctum sanctorum itself with this right
half representing the building where Peter Parker has his apartment and that
is situated above peppe's pizza with the very lego of fide sticker and branding
there's also a little bit of side street or alleyway here with a few references
built into that with the help of the stickers and you get a number of web
elements with a combination of stickers and physical items and I need to show
you how some of those actually work with action features for example this web up
here can be grabbed onto by a figure and then pulled down which causes the window
at the front to break out and you can knock a bad guy off that way this
doesn't really qualify as an action feature per se but you can bring the
second fire escape ladder down and this is one of the better-looking and better
working fire escapes I think that Lego is put onto a building because it's
pretty simple to actually just place a figure there without even having them
set up to perfectly they don't get attached to anything but they give you
plenty of space to put a figure there you can also attach hands to these bars
really easily it looks good and I think it works well for play this one's pretty
clever and useful I think you can place a figure just right here and there's a
button that you can push from behind on the roof that will push that figure off
and then he's attached on the web there and that web can let him down they
actually integrated this winch system for this string into the water tower up
there so the water tower is where the web gets connected and you can actually
pull your figure back up if you want to show them kind of climbing and does take
a second to do that because you need to turn it quite a bit but it's it's nicely
integrated you can just leave off that web piece if you want and if you just
let go it kind of lets him down slowly which is fun to watch down at the ground
level there's also a second window that can be blown out by just pushing in
another one of these buttons just push that straight and out it pops here's the
thing that's not so great about this set though it's the depth it's very thin as
viewed from the side I mean it's you know pretty impressive from here and
it's the full length of an entire baseplate plus just a little bit if you
include the corner bit but from the side I mean you mostly have just a six stud
with including the front fascia and the wall there so not that much real
substance to it behind however they did make the best use I feel that they
possibly could of that room and you can put figures into pretty much every one
of these individual rooms and spaces here starting again on the sanctum
sanctorum side this is the lobby the ground-floor entrance with us ticker
with a scroll on the wall over there and just a couple of weapons I like that
little little classic seat there because it's built with a kind of preformed Lego
chair piece in its base and then they do brick building around that for a little
bit of a hybrid thing there's the second floor up above and this actually has an
action feature built into the bookcase there is a little bit of a hiding space
more weapons chests that can be opened that has even more weapons still with a
couple more daggers or fighting knives there I like the selection of stickers
throughout this set they're really well done I think and appropriate and
tasteful I'm actually going to come back to the action feature for the bookcase
I'll get to that later and here's the topmost room with a couple more
bookcases on the sides got a skull there it looks like
they don't have the brand-new candle mold available just yet or they surely
would have used that but given the amount of space that is here I think
that they did a good job of kind of getting the feel of the place and still
leaving some open studded area on the floor again to put some figures in there
there's not much room on the roof of the sanctum sanctorum to pose figures but
you can put them on there just one foot at a time so you can have a little bit
of a confrontation like that or you can have them facing outward toward you for
the sake of display you know out towards the street or in either direction so
it's it's good enough but I personally prefer to have more space like they have
here over Peter Parker's apartment that's much better the watertower build
is a little bit flimsy and how it's attached given just how it's it's kind
of extended up from the base and has the frictionless pin connections there but
like I said the windlass function does work really nice for play with the the
windup long string that's done in white there with the studs at either end and
then down below we get to the interior of the in part of the apartment I think
this is the first time they've done a bed exactly like this using the new 2x3
tiles so you get a three stud wide bed which gives you a little more usable
space and having no studs on there means that it's easier to just place a figure
there there's a look at the sticker with some things attached to Peter Parker's
wall and there's actually an action feature in this open space with a
trapdoor there and there's a knob on the front of the building that you just pull
out and then that will fall through here's the room below with a couple
cardboard boxes only the top one has a sticker on it I think this is the first
time Lego has tried to make one of those old Macs in one of its sets I might be
mistaken on that but the sticker looks really good there for the screen and a
kind of all-in-one encasement but I don't like the build as viewed from the
side you know it's just completely open and then it also overlaps the keyboard
there but this is a nice level of detail a nice number of little things to fit
into such a small space drawing there for the costume and they
have sticker up on the wall with a map and a bunch of notes on that as well
lastly here's the interior of Pippa's pizza with the pizza oven on the left
that has an opening that's large enough to actually fit an entire pizza pie
inside of it that's nice they give you one full pizza pie in this set and two
officially two sliced pieces that large brown thing there is a meat spit for the
meat for schwarmann and you can see the shawarma on the menu up there above and
you have just little checkout register and a fire extinguisher you know there
are always fires in universes like this so this allows maybe a citizen to help
themselves rather than always having to call upon the superheroes now these
buildings aren't really supposed to be directly next to each other like this
and that's why you see a couple of hinges there to allow you to do like
this to separate things out and to create some space in your imaginary play
world and that still allows you to access everything from the interiors but
it really creates these individual buildings now that look pretty good and
you even get a little bit of detail on the the space that was covered up
previously so that's nice that they you know put the extra pieces in there a
little bit of extra effort to make that not look completely plain in that area
that oftentimes will be will be covered up but you know this this is a pretty
good look right here and you can also just close the entire thing up all the
way to make it into one solid building and just imagine that they are on
parallel streets and this doesn't look half bad itself you know they have the
height exactly the same between the two so they kind of merged together pretty
well top to bottom a little bit of change of
color is not bad the overall styling is pretty good and it's just a I think a
decently displayable thing so now that I've closed this up like this I do need
to show you or I've shown you that this can be closed up a team
to show you the last action feature in the the center floor of the sanctum
sanctorum it works by turning this gray knob here and it only works when the
whole building is folded at least 90 degrees in this is another feature that
blows out a window however it also reveals the time stone that is of course
one of the Infinity stones or gems and they've not embedded it into the eye of
agamotto here just because well they wanted to have all the stones
individually presented so you can collect those and then put them into the
Infinity Gauntlet now with any set that includes an infinity stone you get a
full sprue of four of them so if you happen to lose one you're not out of
luck this is nice kind of built in replacement parts and or spares to make
your own stuff speaking of which this set includes two full sets of the power
blast and splat pieces that allow you to set up dynamic kind of comic style
scenes with your figures so identical sets of orange and trans light blue and
all these pieces will attach to figures in various ways because they have bar
sized attachment points on them you put them in hands unit a CH them two legs
and just do whatever you want with them how you choose I love these pieces and I
think they are great for fans of all ages for multiple reasons play and
display looking at the figures here's Doctor Strange with the soft style K
piece for the base but the collar is the harder more papery style to give it that
nice crisp pop to it his hands have accessories that allow all of those
power blast and splat pieces to be conveniently attached as he works his
magic he's got the white paint applications on
the hair there and looking around the back it's pretty easy to see the back
torso print thanks to that nice cloth piece it's pretty well detailed but it's
very subtle with the black against the the dark blue for most of it so
a lot of a lot of lighting conditions won't really show that all that well and
then he also has his second face and there's how that looks in comparison so
just a little bit more serious while he's actually fighting iron spider comes
with his own white colored spider blast pieces and these are the ones that will
actually fire off from the hands by just squeezing in back here off that goes
those work pretty well you see printing on the arm spreading on the other arm as
well I think that that arm printing looks pretty good it's kind of a shame
they didn't go with the dual molded legs here though I think it really really
really could benefit it from those two get that dark blue coming down the side
of the leg between the two between arm printing and dual molded legs I probably
would have gone for a dual molded legs at least the quality of the printing
here is really good it's really sharp you can just see the depth of the ink
you know that's that's actually on it for the raised areas of the black that's
printed on there and the gold is nice and opaque and interesting Lee that's a
that's a cool piece that they used for the the back to hold the arms on there
it just or are they called legs I think I think you consider those to be arms
still it's it's just nice and compact holds everything in real close they
don't stick out too far towards the rear they don't droop down too much I think
it makes sense to use a specialized piece for that rather than using the
standard brackets and then brick building on top of that and you know
gives you decent range motions so you can bring those forward and if you want
you can imagine these tips firing off you can even place something into the
end of this old EXO force arm on each of the the arms there but printing on the
back of the head of course and then nice printing actually on the back of the
torso it's too bad you don't see that most of the time but I think this is
something a lot of people would like to see so leaving off the the rest of the
suit is something that I would recommend if you want to be able to appreciate
this extra design Tony Stark himself is up to mark 48 now in his suit series for
Ironman a little bit more organic looking here I
do like that style it's a little bit different you know it's taking things in
a little bit different direction away from the purely mechanical looks a
little more alien this time around I think that Lego did a pretty good job
here I especially appreciate the the print for the tips of the boots I don't
know why there's something about that that's important to me and then the the
visor is done really well of the visors the eyes you know they're lined which
makes that look again nice and crisp just has really good definition even
from quite a distance makes it look more alive and more glowing got a little bit
of print on the top there as well couple more paint applications the piece that
his feet are attached to is one of those new 1 by 2 rounded plates and so those
have holes in them so you can stick the power blast pieces all the way through
and the be small translucent or transparent light blue pieces that are
down below are also Hollow and there's a normal Tony Stark expression but then
this is a new head piece for him that shows the heads-up display you know as
the camera looks at him says some scratches in it and it's a little bit
awkward that they did put down the full white base coat behind that you know so
it looks like it's it's extra bright and pale I don't know if that could have
been done better you know often times I do complain when
they don't put down enough primer but no I don't know if this was the ideal way
but you see what they were going for at least and when he does have the helmet
on you just pull up on the front kind of see what I feel is is wrong about that
you know because it should have kind of a dark background and here it just looks
really tasty I don't know let me know in the comments what you think about this
one if you think it should have been darker as the base or if you
appreciate the lighter color being used there as kind of a primer to help bring
out some of the details this is ebony maw he kind of looks like
a combination of Snape and Voldemort in the face but I think that Lego has done
a pretty good job of making the face look pretty skinny even though you know
it's just using the same standard size and shape of head mold there the color
is light aqua that they used for that and you know there are different ways
they could have gone with that but it's it's creepy and alien I appreciate that
I like the printing on the torso the hips and the legs they line up really
well the legs could have used just a little bit more opacity you know to make
those a little bit lighter but at least the hips are are lined up really well
and kind of helped to tie things together he comes with his own yellow
colored power blast pieces no alternate face for this one because you need is
not have headgear on good print around the back of the torso it just kind of
kind of matches pretty well yeah I think this is well done for what it is I think
the color of the head the base color is something that's debatable but this is
one of the possible good choices I think they could have made finally here is
cull obsidian and let me tell you the things that I like
first I like the molding for the head and I also like the molding for the
single pauldron on his right our left there I guess I also like the builds for
his dual weapons those also used the relatively new 1 by 2 rounded plate
pieces to a good effect give you a little bit different shape there looks
like a pretty fun thing to play with you know it's it's really designed I think
to capture the imaginations of kids with a very evil look and a very menacing
stance what I don't like oh I also like the subtlety of the difference between
these two colors not sure if that's fully intentional or if those were
trying to match but I think it actually looks better that way but I do think the
body looks a little bit plain to me with the the gray just going
through it I don't know you just maybe maybe it looks better on camera and from
this lower angle but just interacting with the figure in person as I was
putting the weapons together and everything just looks a little bit
lacking to me especially because most of the time you're gonna be seeing it kind
of from above it really looks down quite a lot and also as always big figs have
very limited articulation so you just can move the arms up and down and you
can rotate the wrists in and out that works fine for what it is but I wish
they could do something else as well that's your sanctum sanctorum showdown
and I would rate this set overall similar to the was at the bridge battle
said I believe it was that really good half a bridge Spiderman said that they
made in terms of the overall size level of a detail display ability and also a
playability there's a lot of good stuff for playing here I think the figures
overall are are pretty good they're not necessarily great and certainly there
are some debatable individual design decisions that were made there but I
think the number of them is fair the cast of characters is is good is pretty
strong you know I think they could have added in employee down here or just a
regular citizen to kind of sweeten up the deal a little bit more into you know
bring it more into a real setting a supposedly realistic setting but a lot
of people I'm sure I'm going to buy this asset to get the building mostly and to
display that building and it has a lot of appeal for both kids and adults and
collector types because it just looks for the good from the outside
definitely thin but again they made pretty good use of the space that's
within here for the sake of play and the fact that it can all be you know easily
hinged around I think is going to allow it to look better than it ought to in
many places because you can always put it into that that corner sort of set up
to make it look bigger than it really is or you can just close the thing up
entirely and then it looks equally good from all angles so
there were a lot of compromises here and I think that most of them are good and
positive and and add to to the overall effect of everything together and make
for a good result for the number of pieces and the ultimate price for it one
other thing I guess I forgot to mention is that a lot of these things can be
attached to so these exposed studs and also the the jumper pieces they used
here you can put hands on the on these things you can put feet on these things
you can even attach the blast and splat pieces to make it look like things are
being hit in real time so I don't know how much of that was intentional if you
like probably some of it was but it's another positive note for this set
that's it for my thoughts though again please be sure to check out to the
pinned comment before you comment yourself and I'll be talking to you
again soon because my next video is on the way
