The verdict

I built D.Va's mech first and just sat there turning it in my hands for a minute, the way the shoulders and hips actually articulate is not something a 455 piece set has any business doing that well.

Reinhardt's armor is the opposite mood entirely, blocky and rough where D.Va's mech is round and slick, and that contrast is honestly the whole appeal of pairing these two in one box. It is not a flawless set (more on that below) but for the price it landed at, it is one of the better value builds LEGO put out under this license. If you like either character or just want a good excuse to build a posable mech, get it now while secondhand prices are still sane.

Best for: Overwatch fans and mech builders who want posability over pure display bulk

The full review

What it is

I built D.Va's mech first and just sat there turning it in my hands for a minute. The way the shoulders and hips actually articulate is not something a 455 piece set has any business doing that well, it holds a proper crouch, it can lean into a punch, and the rounded curves LEGO pulled off with fairly ordinary pieces genuinely impressed me. Reinhardt's armor is a total mood shift, blocky, jagged, built to feel like it has weight behind every swing, and that contrast between the two builds is really the whole appeal of pairing these characters in one box. Both minifigures are exclusive to this set too, and D.Va gets her own hair mold plus a bubblegum-blowing alternate face that fans of her in-game victory pose will recognize instantly.

The catch

I will be honest about where it falls short. Reinhardt comes without his shield, which for a character whose entire identity in the game is planting that shield and soaking damage feels like a genuinely odd cut, the armor almost looks unfinished standing there empty handed except for the hammer. D.Va's mech also leans on a good number of stickers to get her sponsor logos and paneling right, and while they do the job, printed parts would have aged better and felt more premium. At 455 pieces split across two builds, neither figure gets a huge amount of individual attention, so if you were hoping for one sprawling centerpiece this is not that.

Who it's for

Get this one if you love either character, want a posable mech that actually delivers on articulation, or you're building out an Overwatch shelf and want the exclusive minifigs before secondhand prices climb further since it retired back in mid 2020. Skip it if a missing shield or a sticker sheet is going to bother you every time you look at the shelf, or if you want your LEGO budget going toward one large statement build rather than two smaller ones.

The parts story

What the build is actually like, and the pieces worth knowing about.

Building this one feels like two short, distinct projects rather than one long build. D.Va's mech goes together first and it is the more technical of the pair, lots of small bracket and hinge work to get that rounded silhouette and working shoulder and hip joints, so it keeps your hands busy in a good way. Reinhardt's armor is chunkier and more straightforward, less fiddly engineering and more about stacking bulk to sell the weight of the character, with the Rocket Hammer built as its own satisfying little side project before it clips into his fist.

The standout piece for me is D.Va's exclusive hair mold, it is the kind of small custom part that tells you LEGO actually cared about nailing this character rather than phoning in a generic minifig. Both minifigures are exclusive to this set and don't show up anywhere else in the Overwatch line, which matters if you're collecting the roster. Part count wise, 455 pieces split into two builds plus two exclusive figs and a separate hammer build is solid value, though the reliance on stickers over prints for D.Va's mech details is the one place the piece quality doesn't quite match the design ambition.

Fun facts

01D.Va and Reinhardt were both released as part of LEGO's first wave of Overwatch sets in December 2018 / January 2019, alongside sets for Tracer, Widowmaker, Hanzo, and Bastion
02The set retired around mid 2020 and has climbed sharply in value since, with BrickEconomy tracking new sealed copies well above 300 percent of the original $39.99 retail price
03D.Va's minifig includes a swappable alternate face showing her blowing bubblegum, a nod to a popular in-game victory pose players use after a match
04Reinhardt's Rocket Hammer is built as its own mini construction within the set rather than a single molded piece, giving it real heft in scale with his armor
