First of all, I gotta say this set was not really a scene in the film, but some of these elements WERE in it. Ever since the Ninja-Go theme had its commencement in 2011 and a key part of its early prosperity was the esse of the unique form of martial arts, edified by smart old Sensei Wu. This easy substratum, besides the brilliant dragons, was what drew traditional Ninja theme fans to relish Ninja-Go beyond the initial goofy skeletal foes and future cars. This set is ergo a return to compose and echoes kindred designs in the debut year, such as 2504 and proximately 2516 Ninja Training Outpost.

It is unorthodox to visually perceive more than one ninja in a set of this size, and the LEGO Ninja-Go Movie versions of Kai and Zane should be an humongous giant draw to fans for the low price of $9.99. What could go erroneous?

Mini Figures

Kai was the main hero of Ninja-Go at its beginning afore Lloyd was introduced in Year 2. However, he still has remained the most popular character since then, with an astronomically colossal role to play sometimes. He had little role and personality in the film, but he is a good fig. Kai, like the other ninja, is given a paramount change to his appearance within the LEGO Movie macrocosm. His legs are ebony, which is a striking contrast compared to the torso - nonetheless, the crimson perpetuates with diamond shapes on his legs. The torso is a scarlet housecoat thingy, recalling the ninjas' pristine which were quite basic in design. The gi is lined with Asian letters.

Kai is different from the rest of the ninjas, due to having a mold consisting of a shoulder pad and blade holder. This piece originated in the pirate line, but is incipient in gunmetal, or a platinum metal color. The back printing of the torso is covered by the piece, but abstracting it reveals a golden and black symbol which recalls the symbol on the back of sundry Master Wu mini-figs last year.

Kai's face moves the cicatrix to his right ocular perceiver and integrates a Band Aid to the left side of his forehead. He is consummate with a grinning expression on one side, and an exasperated head on the other. The masks in the film's sets are unique as they are composed of two incipient pieces - one for the bandana that covers his mouth (homogeneous to the piece that came in the Ninja Droids line), and the other a helmet with a colorful headband and symbol. These pieces are slotted in between the torso and face, and on top of the face's stud, respectively.

Zane is both homogeneous and different from his hotheaded comrade. The stoic Icy Ninja is given a white jacket with ebony details, which looks marvelous. The torso design is rather angular in appearance, suiting the mechanical nature of this adventurer. Additionally present are silver communication contrivances. The leg printing is destitute compared to Kai's, but suffices. Like Kai, he has a two piece mask with what a felicitous snowflake symbol on the forehead.

Unlike Kai, Zane is equipped with a quiver on his back and a longbow brandished in hand. Abstracting the quiver reveals the ninja's back printing: a symbol like Kai's. Determinately, one head print is goofy and toothy, with the flip side being virtually the exact antithesis extreme: exasperation!

Builds

There are a few little pieces that accompany the main model. One of these is a little blade rack. The piece to keep the samurai swords, which has appeared in the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles sets, is connected by pin to a tan 2x2 brick with Technic aperture. It is an easy, but efficacious, model. Next comes a wood training area... which cannot be spun. This is the only bad part of the set for me as the play value is enervated by a thing that does not do what it is supposed to do.

On the other hand, this pedestal, with a plain black mini fig face and the Helmet of Shadows on top, is brilliant. The base is constructed so that it can facilely be tilted and hit around, like a dummy. The Helmet of Shadows itself is a wondrous inclusion, as well, as it only appeared as in Series Two of the Ninja-Go TV show. Its only other appearance in a set was Temple of Light - that variant of the helmet withal had a mouth sentinel akin to Samurai X, which this set's helmet dolefully lacks. This is good, though, as it makes it precise to the exhibition.

Determinately, we have the most sizable part of the set, which is a section of two walls that meet in the corner of the dojo. The detail for such a minuscule model is remarkable - and central to it all is a printed 2x3 white scroll. Wu's symbol, which appears on all of the ninjas' backs, is on the scroll as well. I venerate the cumulation of tan and brown dispersed on the circumventing walls and paneling, with highlights of ebony, including the crown of the roof.

The area is illuminated by a single transparent crimson face to be a lantern. While the clips on either side are designed to hold fist and claw weaponry, I exhibit other types of arms, and you can even expand the walls with your own dojo builds - in the same manner as the LEGO Batman Movie Gotham Energy cumulation models!

Verdict

Awesome set, not one of the best Ninja-Go Movie sets (but that is because all except the Movie Maker ones so far are OUTSTANDING), but this one is still awesome. One of few perfect $9.99 sets, is all I can say. Do not mind the woody training area not spinning, that is where you come in and spin it with your hands or imagination.
