What reviewers are saying

"Carnage as a Minifigure has always been on my wish list."

True North Bricks

"Robbie Reyes drives an imposing 1969 Dodge Charger R/T which explains the obvious similarities between this model and the classic car from 75893 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon and 1970 Dodge Charger R/T."

Brickset Reviews

Ecosystem

Speed Champions 1970 Dodge Challenger — Reviewer notes the car build superficially resembles Speed Champions sets in style; car similarly lacks doors for minifigures

75893 (2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon and 1970 Dodge Charger R/T) 78 — The Hell Charger is slightly longer than the Speed Champions variant and features enlarged rear wheels with a more pronounced forward rake. Similar building techniques are employed, particularly in the rearmost section, but the Hell Charger's transition between roof and sides remains a shared weakness.

76058 Spider-Man: Ghost Rider Team-Up — While both sets feature Ghost Rider vehicles, this set's Robbie Reyes variant is preferable to the Johnny Blaze version from 76058, despite that set's accompanying bike and minifigure. The reviewer would recommend this set even to owners of 76058.

76036 Carnage's SHIELD Sky Attack 90 — The current Carnage minifigure (reused from 2019) lacks the decorated arms from the 2015 version, which the reviewer favours as it more faithfully recreates Carnage's comic appearance. However, the new articulated tendrils on the back are an improvement.
