This was a Christmas present last year and done over a weekend in May.
I foolishly looked at the back of the box to photograph it, which spoilt the surprise!
You build the torso first
The legs are articulated so this is their mounting
Detail of the right leg
Right leg attached
Both legs attached
Arms and hands. The hands are super flimsy and fall off if you look at them funny and disintegrate when you try to reattach them. Pretty poor design. But the arms do move around and stay in place, not like the big original one years ago.
The round slopes for the head. With smiley!
This is the surprise! Inside the hat is a cockpit for a minifig to control the big minifig!
The whole hat. Because they had to mount an opening dome, the back of it sticks out further than it should. And the front isn't nicely rounded. And it also doesn't actually match the design of the minifig hat that comes with it. It's closer to the old flat-billed caps.
Complete! With minifig!
The minifig controlling the minifig! You can see here how the cap styles are different - you'd think they'd have given the little minifig an older style flat-billed cap.
View of the back
A few more of the pair
As always, there's pieces I've never seen before
So yeah a couple of little issues with the design, but overall it's a super cute model, I enjoyed it :):)
