"A Mixed Reviews verdict driven by a strong minifigure lineup (Captain Carter alone earns attention) against a mech that looks better on paper than it does on shelf, with color accuracy issues that fans of the show will notice."
Expert reviewers agree this What If...? mech set carries an exclusive Captain Carter minifigure worth the price of admission but delivers a mech that doesn't quite match the show's aesthetic and suffers from some accuracy shortfalls. The BrickScore of 66.7 and Mixed Reviews tier reflect genuine ambivalence: the minifig lineup is strong, the glow-in-the-dark power core is a welcome surprise, but the bright green color scheme and 'stubby' mech proportions divide opinion. Owner sentiment is considerably warmer, with 4.78 out of 5 from 172 ratings and 92% recommending it, suggesting fans of the characters overlook the critic concerns.
Where they split: The two principal expert reviewers agree on the positives (minifigs, articulation, glow core) but diverge on overall verdict: Brothers Brick recommends a buy on minifig grounds, while Solid Brix recommends waiting for a price drop and is disappointed by the accuracy shortfalls. One LEGO.com owner gave it 20 out of 100 in a general complaint about LEGO pricing, which is an outlier that does not reflect the broader owner base.

"This set brings me a character – Captain Carter – who alone is worth the price of admission."
The Brothers Brick"captain carter in particular is a little disappointing because there is no red printing on either the shield or torso for the figure even though it shows up in the show so i'm not really sure why that isn't the case here"
Solid Brix Studios"This set brings me a character – Captain Carter – who alone is worth the price of admission."

Owners overwhelmingly praise the mech build quality, minifigures, and display value, though some question price and minifigure accuracy to the show.
