REVIEW: 76303 Superman Mech vs. Lex Luthor

[Pchan1983]

Here is my review on LEGO DC 76303 Superman Mech vs. Lex Luthor:

THE GOOD:

• The printed 'S' logo is great.
• Lex is a more superior minifigure than superman this time.

THE NOT SO GOOD:

• Still don't like the element used for fingers as it still look more like a monster hand.
• Superman minifigure without his iconic hair and no dual moulded legs.

Originally not planning to buy this until I found out the 'S' logo is printed.  Turns out, the mech is really bland.  There are way better mech in this series.  Still don't feel right with the current use of element for figners, to me still looks like a villain robot than the good ones.  As usually, this type of mech have no articulation joints for elbow and knees which makes posing limited.  Having said that, the printed 'S' logo is really nice.  My biggest issues with the set is actually the superman minifigure, I think it could benefits to use the classic superman hair, plus dual moulded legs or having his red briefs printed.  But well, when superman is not as good then you get a very nice Lex Luxor minifigure.  At this price, it's still a fun set for those who nenver own a superman minifigure, but only buy when you really needed.  The excellent printed 'S' logo is tempting but likely you may find cheaper way to get it through bricklink or brickowl.
