Time to take a break from all the Star Wars stuff! Today I have a review of a LEGO DC Superheroes set: 76054 Batman: Scarecrow Harvest of Fear! This 2016 set has 563 pieces and retails for £59.99 (UK), $59.99 (U.S.), $129.99 (Aus), and $149.99 (NZ). Let’s check it out!

There are 5 minifigures in the set. As always, I’ll look at them first.

Here we have Batman. He wears a cool suit to combat Scarecrow’s fear gases. I like how the breathing apparatus fits into the Bat cowl, and the torso print looks fantastic as well. However, I do find it unfortunate that the legs are unprinted.

Next we have Blue Beetle. I’m not too familiar with this character but I think he’s a protagonist. I like his dual-molded black/blue legs as well as the interesting neck gear. He comes with a blue disk attached to one of those clear handles with a stud.

Next we have the main villain, Scarecrow. He wears a dark orange suit which looks pretty good. I definitely like this figure, but nonetheless I feel the Scarecrow from 70913 Scarecrow’s Fearful Face-Off is better.

Here we have a highly-anticipated figure, Killer Moth! This opposite-of-Batman villain makes his long-awaited appearance and is a nice minifigure, with a cool brand new mask. He has a gun, translucent orange wings, and side printing on his legs.

For the final minifigure, we have a farmer. We don’t get civilians too often so this is a nice figure. He wears sand blue jeans along with a stained white vest. I like his terrified expression but it would’ve been nice if LEGO had included an alternate head (not face print) with a regular expression.

Overall, this is a quite nice selection of minifigures. However I’m not familiar with all of them, but I’m sure most DC fans would appreciate them more. I really like the Gas Mask Batman, but wish he had printed legs. On to the builds! Guess what? There are three! The first build is a little red tractor for the farmer. It has some nice detailing and a seat for the farmer. You can push it around but there aren’t any play features. Nonetheless, it’s a nice model that provides something for the civilian to run away from the villains with. The second build in the set is Batman’s Batcopter. It is black and blue which looks a little bit weird to me – I don’t really like blue in Batman vehicles. It has a rotor on top that you can spin by hand. The tail can actually be pushed in. This deploys two stud shooters on either side, which can then be fired off. Normally they are hidden away in the side panels of the Batcopter. There are brick-built cannons outside and I like how these shooters are integrated. And here you can see how the stud shooters look like from another view. Of course, there’s an opening cockpit glass. There’s space for one figure inside with a 1×2 translucent orange panel which presumably represents a Heads-Up-Display control. The final build is Scarecrow’s combine harvester. It has a really awesome black, dark tan, and translucent lime green color scheme which definitely fits Scarecrow. When the combine harvester is rolled around, the harvester at the front rotates. This is driven by the translucent lime green saw element behind so isn’t the smoothest but it works. On the left of Scarecrow’s seat, there is a brown stud shooter. It shoots off fear gas bombs, which consists of a translucent lime green minifigure head and 1×1 silver studs on either side. There are two spares included. Of course, you can use the stud shooter as a handheld weapon. At the back of the harvester, there is a large translucent lime green tank. You can hinge it up to a vertical position. The front tank opens up as well and you can put the farmer inside. Presumably this extracts the fear from him to power the combine harvester. Also from here you can see the really cool 4-cylinder engine which has nice translucent lime green and silver elements. And that is it! We have covered all the builds 🙂

This concludes my review of the set! I think the minifigures are nice. They’re all pretty detailed and are good figures for DC fans. The builds are not bad too. Not the biggest fan of the blue on the Batcopter but the combine harvester and tractor are quite nice. Playability is also good, especially since you have a protagonist vehicle, an antagonist vehicle, and a neutral one. The price, however… not so good. £59.99 (UK) and $59.99 (U.S.) is about right, I feel, but I think it should be $109.99 (Aus) and $119.99 (NZ). The current price, especially in New Zealand, is too high, and the models don’t feel substantial enough for $150.
