Review: 30452 Iron Man & Dum-E Polybag

I was out at Walmart last night and found this along with other new Avengers sets.  Since it's mainly a minifig set I'm going to try something a little different with this review.

Bag.  I paid $3.97 for this which gives a $0.11 Price per Piece.


Instructions.










Minifig.

Parts.  Plates, Round Plates, Bar Plates, Clip Plate, Liftarms, Pins, Grille Tiles, Round Tiles, Flame Pieces,  Minifig Neck Brackets, Cheese Grater, Lightsaber Handle, Bar Holder w/Claw, Mod. Plate w/Pin Hole, Dish, and Bar 12L w/1x2 Plate End Hollow Studs &  1x1 Round Plate.


Assembled Minifig.  I'd go with a Brawler
archetype.  There are plenty of extra pieces to modify this though.

Size Comparison.

The Questions:
Is it below, at, or above $10 per Frame?  Below.  (+5)

Is it a good size to use in a game?  Yes.  About the same size as a Classic.  (+5)
How many parts does it have to represent systems?  Four.  (+5)
Does it have enough parts you can remove to represent White Dice damage?  Yes.  (+5)
Score: +20 (A+).  Excellent score as a minifig.


Build.  I copped out and went with the set build.  (2Rh)

The Questions:
Can you build something -- a frame, station, or starship -- right away?  Yes.  (+5)
Is it below, at, or above the golden ratio?  Above.  (-10)  
(The Golden Ratio is $0.10 per part.)
If you can't build a frame right away, or choose not to, does it have parts you should be able to put into use right away?  Yes.  (+5)
Does it have more than a handful of immediately useful parts?  No.  (-5)
Score: -5 (B-).  Not a great score as a set.
