In my final review of the summer 2017 wave of The LEGO Batman Movie sets, I have the Two-Face Double Demolition (70915). It consists of 564 pieces and retails for $59.99.
Minifigures
There are a total of four minifigures in this set, Batman, Two-Face, a male GCPD Officer, and a female GCPD Officer. Batman, yet again, appears in a set but for this one he does have a new head piece with a new combination of expressions. For this one, he has a cocky smile on one side and an unimpressed look on the other. His accessories include a pair of Batarangs.
Two-Face, who was portrayed by Billy Dee Williams as Harvey Dent in the original 1989 Batman movie, appears in this movie with Williams returning as the voice actor for the character. There whole two sides to this minifigure from head to toe. On one side, you have the regular Harvey Dent side with the clean gray suit. On the other, you have a melted away suit with some magenta detailing throughout. There’s some humor on the legs where there’s a hole showing his underpants with red hearts.
The head is double-sided with angry looks on both. Like with the suit, the face also shows two different sides. One has his normal face with moustache and the other shows his ravaged face. Finally we have the black and magenta hair piece corresponding to each side of the character. His accessory is a Tommy Gun but it would have been nice if LEGO included a coin piece as well.
Finally we have the two GCPD Officers who wear the same dark blue uniforms as in the Arkham Asylum (70912). They also have the black tactical vests that go over the torsos. The male officer has a radio and revolver as accessories while the female has a double-barreled shotgun. One thing to note is that the heads on these two minifigures are exclusive.
Build
The GCPD officers come with a barrier piece with some trans-orange lights on the top.
Batman comes with the Bat Hawk which is pretty much another variant of the Batcycle. If has a very sleek look with the bat wings folded down to the cockpit area. It is a one-seater and Batman has to lean fairly back for the windshield to close.
On either side of the Bat Hawk, there are a couple of stickers that go across the lower part of the vehicle. As for some of the play features, one side has a flick-fire missile while the other has a couple of stud shooters.
The main build of the set is Two-Face’s wheel loader. It is pretty big compared to even some of the LEGO City construction vehicles. Like with Two-Face having two sides to his minifigure, the wheel loader also has two sides to it. On one side, you have a clean white and yellow profile while the other has a terrifying look of destruction.
For the clean side, you have a look that seems like it just rolled off the factory line. In the front of the loader, the bucket has some stickers of some warning stripes. In the front part of the articulated steering, there’s a sticker that says Falcone’s Legit Construction Co. which is an Easter egg to Carmine Falcone from the comics. The back of the loader has some more detailing such as the ladder above the rear wheel as well as a sticker of the metal walkway. Finally on this side, there’s a compartment to store a couple of revolvers.
On the “bad” side, it is a complete opposite of what you see on the other side. The bucket on the loader has stickers showing it with rugged patching. The front wheel has some spikes coming out of it. There’s also some spikes right behind the bucket as well.
On the side of the cabin, there’s a six stud gatling gun that shoots trans-orange studs. You can easily shoot it by turning the gear on the back. At the back of the wheel loader, there’s a large engine with some purple hoses connected to it.
For some of the other play features, the front part is able to pivot freely left and right. There’s a silver tube at the bottom and a whip connected on the side to give some detailing in this area. The arm is able to move up and down while the bucket itself can also move as it is on ball joints.
Results
The LEGO Batman Movie Two-Face Double Demolition (70915) is actually a better set than I thought. The wheel loader itself looks very nice with the two sides to it. There’s lots of little detailing on both sides that makes it stand out. The inclusion of Two-Face has been long-awaited since the initial wave of TLBM sets from last year and he doesn’t look too shabby either.
Batman and the two GCPD Officers are good additions as they are all exclusive to this set. The Bat Hawk Batcycle is also a nice addition as there’s substance to it and not a throw-in build.
On last thing to point on is the price point of $59.99. I feel that this set id more than adequate to warrant the price but if you’re not in a rush to get it, I would recommend waiting for a sale.

Batman doesn’t really have a new head, does he? Crap. He does. I’ve already come up with nine different pieces of gear to use all six of the previous basic TLBM faces, the two TLM faces, and the Heavy Metal Batman face (the only other head that features “expression eyes” in black/white). Now I need to come up with two more? Ugh.
And one of the nice things about Two-Face is that we already saw what the body would look like back in February, plus we had physical examples of both the head and half-melted hair from Arkham. Still kinda sucked to only get an inmate version of Two-Face and pizza delivery version of Scarecrow, but both of them have regular TLBM minifigs out for over a month now, so it’s all about waiting for Wave 3 and any potential second series of TLBM CMF.
*sigh* This sucks. So five new sets came out, and they had three heads available to pick from that came out in the launch wave. Of these, the Type 2 head is most common (7 sets vs 4 each for the other two), and the cheapest option for a retail purchase was the Phantom Zone polybag that Target sold, but it’s also in the Freeze and Pizza-crow sets if you missed the polybag. Next is the Type 3 with the cheapest source being the Joker balloon set. Type 1’s cheapest option has been the Riddler set, which is easily the most value of any TLBM set in terms of minifig haul vs price.
So of the five new sets, what did we get?
Scarecrow came with the super-common Type 2.
Bane came with the Type 3.
Batwing came with Type 1.
That leaves Two-Face and the Ultimate Batmobile as the only two sources of the new Type 4, while bumping all of the other three by one each. Type 4 is also the most expensive to net, at twice the cost of the next most expensive, Type 3.
Dude…what the heck? Not even I do this much detailing. xD
LEGO Batman is my thing. Between stock, modified, and full custom, I think I was pushing 200 unique Batman-related minifigs by the end of 2016. With TLBM, I have no doubt I’ll be over 250 by the time Brickworld Michigan rolls around in a couple months (and they’ll all be on display…though the two SDCC Batmen will be represented by reproductions, because I don’t want any of my actual SDCC Batmen getting stolen). Not even counting all the multiple faces on the basic TLBM Batman, I might be over 50 distinct versions of Batman alone right now.
So, yeah, I know a few things about LEGO Batman.
Great review! I wanted to see more side and back pics of this so very helpful. Two face looks so sick!
