Later this summer, LEGO releases a new wave of Batman sets and the first one I want to check out is my most anticipated set which is Batman with the Batmobile vs. Harley Quinn and Mr. Freeze (76274). It is the second set based on Batman: The Animated Series and it has 425 pieces while retailing for $59.99.
Minifigures
There are three minifigures in the set, Batman, Mr. Freeze, and Harley Quinn. Batman is mostly the same one as in the LEGO Art Batman: The Animated Series Gotham City (76271) but with one difference. The cape used is the black rubber one rather than the cloth one from the other set.
Mr. Freeze has his gray armored suit with some blue rings around the neck and shoulders although he does not have any on the arms. His head is plain white and has his red goggles going around. His weapon is a stud shooter which represents his freeze gun.
Harley Quinn is exactly the same one as in the Art set with her wearing the red and black outfit. The white details that are printed on aren’t exactly white but they’re a little pink. Her double-sided head shows her with a smirk on one side and a smile on the other. Her accessory is her mallet.
Build
There are two parts for the build, the Batmobile and the display stand. The stand uses a dish piece and it has a sticker information plaque in the front featuring the Batman logo and details of the Batmobile.
For the Batmobile itself, there’s some controversy regarding its coloring. Although LEGO isn’t the only company that has used this color scheme, they have decided to have the Batmobile colored dark blue. In the cartoon, it has mostly black with blue highlights when it went through lights.
The front of the Batmobile uses stacking wedge plates for the grill. There are some stickers used for the yellow headlights.
Behind the front wheels, there are a couple of fixed stud shooters where the air vents are at. I would’ve preferred to have it with no guns but LEGO has to put in some play features for the kids. You can pop off the guns to get that look but you can still see some holes where they used to be. A couple of spare 1×3 tiles would’ve been nice to fully achieve that look.
The windshield opens forward to reveal the detailed cockpit. The control panels are stickers but they don’t look bad. There is enough room in the cockpit to fit the Batman minifigure inside without having to remove the rubber cape.
At the back of the Batmobile, there’s a thruster with the flames. Like with some previous versions of the vehicle, the thruster is connected to the back wheel axle so when you spin the wheels, the flames also turn.
Results
Overall, the Batman with the Batmobile vs. Harley Quinn and Mr. Freeze (76274) is an okay set for being the second one for The Animated Series although it is a bit on the expensive side. I do appreciate the plastic cape for Batman and the inclusion of Mr. Freeze, however, did we really need another Harley Quinn? The Batmobile itself has the look from the cartoon although the coloring of it is one of the main talking points of the set. Personally, I don’t mind it but that one thing could be a deal breaker for some.
