LEGO isn’t messing around on this one. Like, you probably guessed Ant-Man and the Wasp was going to the quantum realm, because that’s where they have to find Michelle Pfeiffer‘s original Wasp. But the trailers didn’t show any of that–LEGO, however, is just diving right in with a set that’s flat-out called “Quantum Realm Explorers.”
Now, obvious caveats apply. While pretty much every LEGO set for Avengers: Infinity War approximated a movie scene, LEGO has in the past made up their own sets for extra play value, like the time they famously did an Iron Man 3 set with Tony battling the Ben Kingsley Mandarin in a tank. But if this turns out to be a huge red herring, the Fantastic Voyage/Innerspace-style vehicle is one cool invention.
It would appear that the villain Ghost is following Ant-Man and the Wasp into total shrinkage, and with her bonus ability to phase through solid objects, it’s maybe no wonder the heroes need to team up and have a spaceship–sorry, “Quantum Vehicle”–for a fair fight. The craft includes adjustable engines, arms, mufflers, and stud-shooters.
It’s a pretty reasonable set, too, available June 1st for just $19.99. And LEGO versions of these heroes (and this villain) might be perfectly to scale with some of your larger superhero toys. If you’re wondering why the vehicle only seats one person, think about it: Ant-Man can’t fly or shoot energy blasts like Wasp can…so he’e overcompensating a bit.
