Early read · 0 reviews
Two buildable figures going head-to-head for thirty bucks — the Surtur sculpt alone makes this shelf-worthy, even if the price stretches a little thin for what's in the box.
Is the price fair?C+A little steep for the piece count, but the dual-figure format helps justify it.
Will you love it?BThe Surtur sculpt and duel setup make this more interesting than a standard construction figure.
Holds its value?C-Don't count on this one appreciating — Marvel licensed sets at this price point rarely pop after retirement.

The Full Take
The appeal here is the duel format: Thor and Surtur as poseable construction figures, facing off the way they were meant to. Surtur's fire-demon silhouette is the star — the orange and dark-red parts work together in a way that photographs well and holds its own on a shelf. At $29.99 you're paying a slight premium for the license, and 245 pieces won't leave a seasoned builder feeling challenged. But as a Marvel display piece aimed at fans of the mythology, it punches above its size. The three minifigs add a bonus play layer without feeling like padding. It's a B+ set because it does its specific job well — not because it's trying to be everything.
