Marvel LEGO Set Review: Iron Man: Detroit Steel Strikes #76077

Detroit Steel Strikes
Photo-A-Day #4346

Last week Brian and I recorded three episodes of Built from Bricks. One of the segments was a side-by-side speed build of the LEGO set Iron Man: Detroit Steel Strikes. This is set number 76077. While filming I forgot that the camera only films 15 minutes at a time and then stops. So, as we built and we talked the camera stopped. We missed the entire end of the video where we see who won the speed build. You’ll have to wait to find out which of us built Lola faster.

Today Andrew and I built the rest of the set. We built Iron man, Justin Hammer and Detroit Steel. I like the whole set. There are some great pieces in it including Lola, Coulson and Detroit Steel. Iron man comes with these little pieces that clip on to his hands and then when you press on them they pop off and fire at the bad guys. Detroit Steel has a Gatling gun on one arm and a giant saw on the other. It is pretty posable as well.

I also decided that while shooting the photos I would incorporate Brian’s SigFig into the shoot. Poor Brian caught up in Detroit Steel’s grip.

Review – Iron Man Smartphone Stand

I received an Iron Man Smartphone Stand (aff link) from Toy Island to use and review. Opinions are 100% my own.

Iron Man is my go to super hero. I’m a big fan. So, when I was offered a Smartphone Stand that uses an app to look like Tony Stark/Iron Man I was excited to try it out. This is a toy for kids ages 8 and up and so the app is rather simple. You can set alarms, tap the face of Iron Man/Tony Stark and tilt the toy around. Iron Man is funny and cocky as I would expect him to be. I’ve played with it a bit and haven’t gone through all of the 50 phrases and animations.

The device also has an opening so there is access to connect the charger so at night you can pop you smartphone into the stand and connect the charger, play with Iron man for a bit and then put him into sleep mode, make sure that you set the alarm and you are good to go overnight. You can see more about it in the vlog below.
