(By the way, while sitting, the minifigure cannot grasp the controls, but this is pretty typical of cockpits in LEGO sets.) The minifigure also has to be leaning forward in the cockpit to clear the swinging arms. It’s cute, however it doesn’t do anything except look cute. The top of the hat is a ratchet hinge, so it’s a jerky open-close, but you’re not going to have to worry about it staying open/closed.Īs previously I mentioned, there is a mechanism inside the hat. I would say that it’s a bit looser than the arms, but not as loose as the legs. The turntable in the head has a tiny bit of ratchet to it, which gives it a nice feel. The hands also have plenty of friction and aren’t all loosey-goosey. They can’t hold a lot of weight, but they could easily hold something small and lightweight. The arms have much more friction and consequently, stay in place a lot easier. You have to really work at it to get an active pose to stay. I tried to have him positioned in a running pose, but he kept sliding into the splits. While he is quite posable, having him hold a pose can be tough. They have a little bit of friction to them, so they aren’t floppy, but I do wish there was a bit more stiffness there. Now for the fun stuff! Let’s see how he moves. Normally a windscreen, this element has never been seen in opaque blue before now. Covering the driver’s seat is the blue dome that was floating around freely when we opened the box. It makes sense that it’s like this, but it would’ve been really cool if they tried to give it some shape like the curved bill of the actual fig.
The bill of the hat is flat like a pancake. This assembly features some gears as part of a moving component, which we’ll revisit shortly.
These slopes sit inside a little control cab of sorts, where the actual minifigure can drive his upscaled counterpart. They aren’t new, but they’re a welcome addition! There are three 1×2 cheese slopes, each with their own unique decals. The face isn’t the only printed part in the set. With these simple base instructions, you could create all sorts of hat/hair pieces. The head looks a little funny chopped off like this, but it makes me think of all the possibilities of where you could take this. With that on, we’re ready to affix the head to the body. These studs will receive the hat.Īs previously mentioned, the head slopes are new and rare, but the face in particular is a brand new print. The top of the head (pictured facing the camera) is inlaid with a pair of 2×4 jumpers in reddish brown.
