The verdict

I put Doc Ock's tentacles through their full range of motion the moment I got him out of the bag and just started laughing, they snap onto his back so cleanly and bend at every joint you'd want.

This set nails the one scene it's trying to recreate from Spider-Man 2, the runaway train with Spidey braced against it, and it does it with real conviction. It's not a big sprawling build, it's a focused character moment, and if that's what you're after it delivers more feeling per piece than sets twice its size. Get it for the minifigs and the tentacle engineering, not for a standalone diorama, because that part it doesn't quite pull off.

The full review

What it is

This set is built around one scene, and it knows it. LEGO took the runaway train sequence from Spider-Man 2, the one where Doc Ock's tentacles are ripping through a subway car while Spider-Man tries to hold the whole thing together, and turned it into 393 pieces you can actually hold and pose. The moment that sold me was pulling Doc Ock's four mechanical arms out and clicking them onto his back. They're properly articulated, each one bends and twists independently, and the claw ends use Aero Blade pieces that look genuinely menacing wrapped around the train. Peter Parker comes with his classic suit printed straight onto the torso rather than stuck on with a sticker, plus an unmasked head so you can do the vulnerable rooftop moment too. J. Jonah Jameson and Aunt May round out the cast, which for a set this size is a strong lineup.

The catch

Here's where I'll be honest with you. This is a train carriage, not a scene. There's no station platform, no base, no track included, so out of the box it looks a bit like a prop sitting on your shelf rather than a complete display piece. The wheels do have a clever dual mode, fixed in place for a stable display look, or swapped to rotating turntable plates if you want to actually roll it, but you'll need your own tracks or a base to make that work. At $54.99 for under 400 pieces, you're mostly paying for the minifigs and the tentacle mechanism, and the piece count alone doesn't scream value the way some larger Marvel sets do.

Who it's for

If you loved Spider-Man 2, or you just want the best version of Doc Ock LEGO has ever produced, this is worth having. It's also a nice size for a kid who wants a focused action set rather than a sprawling build. Skip it if you're hoping for a full diorama out of the box, you'll want to budget for a base or a MOC platform to finish the scene properly.

The parts story

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

The build itself moves fast, which fits the set's identity as a character-focused scene rather than a slow architectural project. You put together the train shell first, snapping in the removable roof sections that reveal passenger seating, then layer on the damage, bent panels, smashed window pieces, and webbing draped over broken sections like the tentacles just tore through. It's satisfying watching the carriage go from clean subway car to disaster zone in real time.

The real standouts are on the minifig side. Doc Ock's four independently articulated arms are the best mechanical-arm build LEGO has done for this character, using the Aero Blade pieces as claws in a way that reads as sharp and dangerous rather than toylike. Peter Parker's directly printed webbing detail instead of stickers is a small thing that makes a big difference in how the figure looks up close. For 393 pieces and four minifigures at this price, the part count leans toward the figures and the tentacle mechanism rather than bulk plastic, so the value is really in what those specific pieces do, not how many bricks you get.

Fun facts

  • 01The set recreates the specific train-stopping sequence from Spider-Man 2 (2004), one of the most acclaimed action scenes in superhero movie history
  • 02Doc Ock's four tentacles use Aero Blade elements as the claw tips, a piece more commonly seen in Ninjago and Bionicle style builds
  • 03The train wheels have two build modes, fixed for stable display or swapped to rotate on a track, though tracks are sold separately
  • 04Peter Parker includes two interchangeable heads, masked and unmasked, so builders can pose either the hero or the vulnerable civilian moment from the film
