Description
A submarine mission for the Avengers
The main model is a submarine with articulated fins, flip-out weapons and a removable dome that seats two minifigures. A smaller speedboat rounds out the set, letting builders stage a chase or rescue scene between the sub and its target on the water. With 4 minifigures in total, heroes and villains face off directly, so a full action scene comes together on and under the water without needing another set. The removable dome also makes it easy to swap minifigures in and out during play.
Two vehicles in one box
336 pieces and 113 unique parts split across two separate models, which keeps the build varied, since the smaller speedboat follows once the submarine is finished. The sub starts with the hull and rear propulsion unit, then moves on to the dome and side-mounted weapon stations. Splitting the build into two manageable stages keeps the set approachable for younger builders without making the total build time feel long. Builders who like quick wins benefit from having two separate models finish relatively fast.
Colours and parts
Dark grey and black cover most of the submarine's hull, light grey adds mechanical detailing around the propulsion and dome, and red stands out sharply on weapons and trim. That combination is typical of the action-focused Marvel sets from this period and works well for anyone building their own submarine or underwater vehicle. The parts list on this page covers all 113 unique elements by colour, useful for tracking down red accent pieces or grey hull sections. Several of the propulsion parts also suit other water vehicle builds already in a collection.
Who it suits
Iron Skull Sub Attack suits Marvel fans who want an action-packed vehicle set with several minifigures, and anyone who likes building two vehicles rather than just one. The combination of submarine and speedboat gives enough depth for a self-contained scene, with no extra sets required. It also fits neatly alongside other Marvel vehicle sets from the same period for a larger hero-versus-villain collection. The two-model structure also suits shorter building sessions rather than one long sitting.
