LOVED (8)

01Gear-driven walking mechanism that produces organic, realistic spider leg movement when the set is pushed across a surface
02Spider-Man 2099 as an exclusive variant expanding the Spider-Verse roster
03Sandman's sand-form lower body element (unique dual-moulded tan and dark tan swirling piece) praised as the best Sandman design yet
04Vulture in armoured suit with poseable, widespan wings that allow the figure to stand unsupported
05Web-based accessories including web handcuffs, strands, and nets
06Striking red and blue colour scheme on the vehicle
07Clever hidden gem storage inside Sandman's sand mound base
08Unconventional arachnid vehicle design standing apart from typical motorcycles and cars in the theme

CRITICIZED (7)

01Spider-Man 2099's legs lack the blue spots present in comics, and arms should have printed red stripes
02Vulture minifigure lacks arm and leg printing, making him look plain before wings are attached
03Exposed Technic components around the legs look slightly out of place on an organic spider (though they suit a robotic design read)
04Only one stud shooter on the large abdomen section
05Stickers used for some decorative details
06Spider Crawler can be fragile for younger children and requires correct configuration for the walking function to operate
07Set looks underwhelming in photographs compared to in-hand experience

What reviewers are saying

"76114 Spider-Man's Spider Crawler is perhaps the most intriguing spider-themed vehicle yet. It takes evident inspiration from the appearance of a spider and has inspired comparison with 70130 Sparratus' Spider Stalker fr…"

"the way they made it work is not too complex but it is very clever"

JANG's LEGO Reviews

Ecosystem

70130 Sparratus' Spider Stalker (Legends of Chima) — Spider Crawler inspired by similar spider-themed design but stands as unique unconventional vehicle for Super Heroes theme.

70708 Hive Crawler — Similar walking function but Spider Crawler example works more efficiently.

76083 Beware the Vulture — Vulture's mechanised wings more closely resemble this version than feathered design from 76059; reviewer prefers these mechanised wings as smaller and more nimble.

76059 Spider-Man: Doc Ock's Tentacle Trap — Vulture's darker green armoured suit more intimidating than brighter design from this set; wings design differs significantly.
