Recommendation: meh 4.8 / 5 from 79 reviews

Basically, Lego tends to have difficulty when it comes to making fluid figures--the Clayface figure from the recent Batman series, for example, winds up looking knobby. In this case, Molten Man looks more like a conglomerate of pieces rather than a fluctuating figure. Lego cannot help that--there are just limitations to blocks, and sometimes the imagination has to take over. I have to dock this set for its reliance on stickers, however, as they complicate a build for younger Lego fans.

Recommendation: meh 3.8 / 5 by Vaderfan2187

On the whole, I think this set is good. Not exceptional and not terrible, but a good set. The minifigure selection is good enough – Stealth Spider-Man and Mysterio carry the wave while the firefighter's a bit lame. The Molten Man build is okay but I feel he's a bit too cartoonish. Playability is good as Molten Man is poseable and is fun to play with.

Despite the apparent prevalence of lava-based LEGO characters, 76128 Molten Man Battle definitely stands out. Molten Man appears incredibly detailed and some unusual building techniques have been employed, capturing the appearance of a villain whose body is constantly changing. The trans-orange chains and aerials seem particularly impressive in that respect.
