Synthesized Verdict

"With a BrickScore of 76.9 and an outstanding 4.78-star owner average across 846 ratings, the Thor vs. Surtur Construction Figure is a recommended purchase that delivers on its premise. Surtur looks superb in brick form, the articulation outpaces comparable builds in the format, and the exclusive rubber-caped Thor rounds out a set that feels like genuine value at $29.99."

Both expert reviewers agree that 76289 Thor vs. Surtur Construction Figure is a well-executed entry in the buildable-figure format, with Surtur translating convincingly to LEGO brick form and offering better articulation than most comparable character builds. Brickset praised the overall poseability and the cleverly removable crown, while JANG highlighted the gradient sword design and the extensive upper-body articulation. Owners rate it even more highly, with a 4.78-star average across 846 ratings, making this one of the more broadly satisfying sets in the batch.

What reviewers are saying

"76289 Thor vs. Surtur Construction Figure makes satisfying use of the format though, recreating the brutal Surtur from Thor: Ragnarok!"

Brickset Reviews

"I love this sword this blade is yeah it's just kind of perfect for something Lego because they use the dark red on the inside and then it just marbles naturally flows together into the trans orange"

Standout parts (per reviewers)

Rubber capeValue
New standard for Super Heroes sets; same material as Doctor Strange's Cloak of Levitation. Batman and Loki wear similar capes this summer. Shape is superb but replacement of established fabric cape questioned.
Rounded head component
Originally designed for Kro in 76156 Rise of the Domo; being reused for Surtur's crown attachment, described as a clever solution.
Printed 3x3 quarter domes on chest
Flame pattern attractive combined with reddish orange tiles; muscle-like texture works well.
Dual-moulded sword blade
Uses fitting colours but shape should be closer to a longsword.
Technic construction elements
Blue Technic pins and dark bluish grey Technic piece visible on back; allows Thor to connect to villain's back with rotating support.
dark red and trans orange gradient sword blade
marbles naturally flows together into the trans orange making it look more grounded and believable
