Name: Superman: Black Zero Escape Setnumber: 76009 Theme: DC Superheroes Year: 2013 Parts: 168 Minifig: 3 Price: €26,99 Last monday the new Superheroes sets were added at the german Shop@Home site including all three Man of Steel sets. Without hesitation I ordered the middlesized set because of the three main characters and the nice selection of parts it seems to include. Here is my review. Enjoy. First of all the box. Front with action filled scene of the complete set. The side shows the new Superman figure in all its detailed glory. At the back you get another view of the set with some explanations of the main playfeatures. The sliding door was a little surprise for me. The content of the box. Two numbered bags, one comicbook, one instruction booklet and a small DSS. The DSS. I didn't apply the stickers so don't look for them on the complete model. The comicbook with random page. A lot of action in it and I think it contains a few spoilers for the final film. The instruction manual. Some picture as the box front. Also a random page. Contents of bag one without minigfigs. Nice part selection. The new gun. Cool piece. A great addition to every minifig arsenal. The two figures from bag one, Superman and Zod. Both figures got backprinting and doublesided faces. Notice the similarities on both bodies. A nice touch to show their same birthplanet. Zods body armour. Great pieces and usefull for any sci-fi themed figure. Really lovely. Full suited. The build of the base? I don't know where this place is located (inside a ship/spacestation?) but I hope the film will give an explanation. Very plain in my opinion with unexciting features. Spare parts. Nothing special. Contents of bag two without minifig. Again, very nice selection. Pieces of interest. SNOT! Nuff said. Lois Lane. Nice printig on both sides and a doublesided face. The hairpiece is ok, but I think there would be a more accurate piece for the character. More on this later. Now onto the escape pod. Pretty simple build with some nice snotting. The overall look is ok but there are a few big gaps at the front. Base Main body One of two sidepanels with nice details, but wait... ... its all covered up by two slopes as you can see on the model. Why? Shameless waste of pieces. The back of the pod with lots of thrusters. Complete pod with Lois. Spare parts. Again nothing special except the trans 1x1 round plate. The complete set with minifigs. All figures together. Sweet lineup. Comic and Movie version comparision. Notice the identical face. Now to a little bonus feature. Both, Superman and Lois, got hairpieces that didn't fit their movie versions well. For example Supes didn't sport the "s" curl in the movie. Here I tried a few alternate looks for both characters. Supes Lois, more movie accurate. Lois, comic version. Final thoughts Playability: 5/10 A few playfeatures but nothing exciting. Without the movie there is not much to see and the set feels a little plain. Where is it? What is it? Questions which hurt the score. Minifig: 9/10 The three main characters with great details and looks. Only the choice of hairpieces could have been better. Parts: 9/10 Great selection of parts in nice colours and the fantastic body armour and gun makes this set interesting. Price: 6/10 It is a little bit high for such a mediocre set. There is some shameless part use which could have been used better or cheapen the price. Total: 31/40 Score is better than imagined but the sellpoint to it are the minifigs, the armour and gun. As a parts pack it is ok, as a set to display it lacks excitment.
