Spider-Man and Sandman Showdown Reviews
Bricksfanz
“The star of the set is Sandman. The character has featured in a couple of different Marvel sets and I have to say this is the best version so far. It uses the same elemental swirl piece for the bottom half of the character, this was first used in the NEXO KNIGHTS theme... More before being recoloured and used for Sandman in the Sandcrawler set from last year. This element combined the one brick yellow arm and sandy print detail on the torso, does a decent job of conveying Sandman's shapeshifting powers. For the cost of the set, it's definitely worth picking up just for Sandman.”

“If you're a fan of the Spider-Verse, these sets should have enough to be interesting to you from the character standpoint. And if you're just looking for silly Spider-fun, or a gift, they're probably a safe bet, too. But if you're looking for non-minifigure LEGO... More reusability…maybe wait for a sale unless you're really fond of yellow Technic pins, obviously.”
