LEGO constructors for movie and cartoon franchises

Installation of Batman and Superman vs. Lex Luthor 10724 tells about the confrontation between the protagonists of Batman and Superman and the antagonist Lex Luthor. All of these characters are part of the DC comics universe. But the designer himself de jure refers not to the advanced LEGO DC Super Heroes series, but to the initial Juniors line, the slogan of which is the phrase "Easy to build" ("Easy to assemble").

The constructor consists of only 164 parts, so the assembly will take a maximum of fifteen minutes for an adult and less than half an hour for a child (the minimum recommended age is 4 years). The costumes of Superman and Lex Luthor are quite ordinary and well recognizable, whereas Batman is not dressed in a modern black outfit from movies, but a classic grey-blue from old comic book issues, which may not appeal to fans of the Dark Knight. In addition, Batman and Superman have spectacular cloth cloaks (recently, the fabric is increasingly used in LEGO).

As a result, LEGO Batman and Superman vs. Lex Luthor 10724, like other designers of the Juniors series, can be called a kind of probe: the price is low, it is assembled quickly. And most importantly, it allows you to understand whether you and your child like the assembly process and whether it is worth switching to more expensive and detailed LEGO sets.

The basis for the LEGO The Joker Notorious Lowrider 70906 designer was not DC comics or even the Nolan film trilogy "The Dark Knight", but a new full-length cartoon "Lego Movie: Batman". And if Batman was the brightest character of the previous cartoon "Lego. The movie", then the Joker, Harley Quinn and Batgirl turned out to be much more expressive in the new picture. Therefore, it is not strange that a separate constructor was dedicated to this trinity.

The joker is not dressed in anything and what kind of wig you don't put on your head, he is always recognizable. Harley Quinn got her classic comic hairstyle and outfit, including roller skates. Batgirl, whose real name is Barbara Gordon, is dressed in a yellow-purple suit from the TV series "Batman" (1966), in which, by the way, the Dark Knight himself wore similar ridiculous-looking colours.

But the main decoration of the set is undoubtedly the Joker's lowrider — a car with a very low landing and air suspension, jumping while driving. The colour, as befits the Joker's vehicle, is extremely catchy: a combination of purple, acid green and gold. There is a golden rooster figurine on the hood (a unique LEGO piece never seen before). As a result, The Joker Notorious Lowrider 70906 should appeal equally to fans of the Batman universe and LEGO collectors.

"Star Wars" was the first film franchise for which the LEGO company began to produce themed constructors, and to this day it remains one of the most popular. The Battle on Scarif 75171 set is based on the latest movie of the famous cosmosaga released at the moment — "Rogue One: Star Wars. Stories".

The installation repeats one of the most memorable episodes of the film — the Battle of Skarif, or rather its ground part. LEGO designers carefully selected the colours of the details to replicate the desert landscape of the planet as accurately as possible. Even exploding traps as distractions are made interactive.

The set includes four figures: two Scarifa Stormtroopers, which differ from the usual desert colour uniforms, and two rebels — Jean Erso and Cassian Andor. The last two figures have two facial expressions drawn: good-natured and menacing (changed by turning the head 180 degrees). All fans of "Star Wars", as they say, must have! Even more space-themed designers can be found in the "Fiction" section.

The LEGO Pig City Teardown 75824 constructor was made based on the Angry Birds cartoon, and not the eponymous series of mobile games, as someone might mistakenly think. The figures of birds and pigs here are not legless "kolobki", but upright. The installation tells about the birds' attempt to return the eggs stolen by pigs (the eternal theme of the feuds of the Angry Birds universe).

Children will undoubtedly enjoy the abundance of operating mechanisms: a lifting crane, a cable car and as many as two catapults (another indispensable element of the Angry Birds universe). Collectors will appreciate the presence of four rare figurines at once: two birds (Red and Stella) and two pigs. However, especially conservative LEGO fans may be dissatisfied with the non-standard size and shape. In their opinion, all LEGO figures should meet the same standard.

But if you are positive about the innovations of LEGO, then be sure to consider Pig City Teardown 75824 as a gift to a loved one. The Angry Birds universe is equally loved by adult boys and girls, as well as children of all ages. Perhaps this is one of the most versatile LEGO sets from the point of view of the target audience. As they say, you will not lose!

"Moana" is one of the newest Disney cartoons. Thanks to the cute and purposeful main character, who lives on one of the Pacific islands, girls of preschool and primary school age really like it. It is for this audience (from 6 years old) The Moanas Ocean Voyage 41150 constructor is calculated.

The set includes two figures: Moana herself and the demigod of the winds and seas Maui, another key character of the Disney cartoon. The first figure is made in the format of a "long-legged" doll from other girly series Friends and Elves. The second one is based on the layout of either the troll from LEGO The Lord of the Rings, or the Hulk from Marvel Super Heroes. Both look beautiful, but collectors-Old Believers are always dissatisfied with figures of non-standard sizes.

Another figure, albeit tiny, can be counted as a rooster, a silent, but also an important cartoon character, and two pygmies, who in the cartoon wore a suit made of hollow coconut, and in the designer are made in the form of separate heads of LEGO figures. Also, a pineapple is made from the head — a designer detail unique in its colour. So not only the girls-fans of "Moana", but also avid LEGO collectors will be satisfied with such a gift.
