"A Mixed Reviews BrickScore of 65 is accurate: the Molten Man Battle has genuinely great minifigures and a creative parts palette that wows casual fans (4.8 owner average from 3,347 buyers), but dedicated critics found real weaknesses in the head design, joint friction, and minifigure selection that keep it from reaching Recommended territory."
The Molten Man Battle sits at a BrickScore of 65, a Mixed Reviews verdict that reflects a genuine split between casual buyers and critical reviewers. Owners rated it an impressive 4.8 across 3,347 ratings and 83% recommended it, making this one of the clearest owner-versus-critic splits in the Far From Home wave. Expert reviewers at Brickset, JANG, and BrickQueen each noted real strengths (the trans-orange parts palette, the Stealth Suit Spider-Man, Mysterio's helmet) alongside persistent reservations about the head design, joint friction, and the inclusion of an unnamed firefighter over a named character from the film.
Where they split: Expert critics scored the set 55 to 75, citing the awkward head, joint friction, and firefighter inclusion as meaningful flaws. Mass-market owners rated it 4.8 out of 5 with 83% recommending it, showing that casual buyers respond strongly to the character choices and overall look even when dedicated reviewers have clear reservations. Brickset recommended buying now at release price; JANG suggested waiting for a sale.

Most owners are impressed by the Molten Man's creative asymmetrical build and the exclusive stealth Spider-Man minifigure, with only minor complaints about scale and a few plain gray pieces.
