Bastion

"A well-designed, display-worthy buildable figure with genuine articulation and a clever transformation system, recommended for Overwatch fans and mech collectors alike. Owner buyers back up the expert BrickScore of 75.9, with 95 percent saying they would recommend it despite the absent minifigure."

Expert reviewers across four outlets broadly agree that 75974 Bastion is a well-executed, display-worthy buildable figure that captures the game character with impressive accuracy, earning a BrickScore of 75.9 The transformation between Recon and Sentry modes is consistently praised as smooth and intuitive, and the articulation throughout is extensive. Owner sentiment aligns firmly with the critics: 35 buyers average 4.57 out of 5, and 95 percent say they would recommend it. The one persistent expert reservation is the lack of a traditional minifigure, which some reviewers felt limited its appeal beyond dedicated Overwatch fans.

Where they split: The most notable split is between the two JANG reviews in the dataset: his assessment of the retail 75974 (verdict 85) is substantially more positive than his separate review of the older Blizzard-exclusive Bastion set (verdict 55). Within the four expert reviews of the retail set specifically, the spread from Brickset (70) to JANG (85) reflects disagreement about whether the transformation simplifications and missing magazine detail meaningfully detract from what is otherwise a strong character build.
