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.

First of all, this is my only LEGO Batman Movie set, but from looking at the others, this one is by far the best! First of all, Clayface is my favorite Batman villain. Second, onto the actual review!

Minifigures

Only two, but one is exclusive! First is Batman who appears in almost all of the Batman Movie sets. Although it has the most common Batman, I still like it. He has a cocky scowl on one side of his head and a scared one on the other. The second minifigure is Mayor Kill. The character is new: she is not based on anyone. And she is the exclusive one! Her cool yellow hair is new, and is superb. She has a nougat skin tone. She is also wearing a bright blue coat and an opal locket. Her bright blue legs have no printing, though. Like Batman she too has a frightened look on the other side of her head.

Build

Besides Clayface, there is a clay splat. Clayface shoots studs of clay to secure his victims so the splat provides a hole for the governor to be ensnared. Clayface himself uses rotating click-joints, from Exo Force on the shoulders, while the hips use large ball joints. These provide motion, allowing the legs to be twisted and the body to be tilted forwards or backwards, but the scope for posing his short and stubby legs is too limited. I love the use of round tiles for clay, and how they are angled with hinges, especially considering this introduces a ton of bricks in Medium Nougat! His head and the top of his arms are utilize round plates to give him a flowing-clay look. The hinge pieces used for his mouth, and the 1x2 curved slopes on the arms, are new in Medium Nougat. His eyes are printed. You have an option of three forearms for him, two of which are the same. Two have multi stud-shooters inside while the other is fashioned into a hammer. Clayface is constantly transforming his hands into weaponry, and he does it into a hammer a lot. He normally has fingers but none are provided here. The figure can thus be fitted with two clay-shooting forearms, or one can be switched out for the hammer, which looks better, but only because it is different than the other one. Unlike several LEGO models, the back is kind of more detailed than the front. With the exception of the undersides of his arms, the foe's entire body is coated in slimy clay and it looks awesome. The model itself is robust, certainly his arms and legs are not going to fall out, and they stay in place when posed. However it does need to be handled with care to prevent moving the hinged pieces on the chest and back and to stop pieces from the upper arms from falling off. The round 2x2 plates themselves are very secure, though, and have not budged when I play.

Playability

Stud shooting arms, his eyes can be reversed to show expression, his mouth can move to show expression, lots of articulation, need I say more?

Verdict

This set makes a welcome change from the vehicles and buildings in every other DC set and introduces another well known DC Comics' antagonist. I think the round plate- and curved slope-encrusted body conveys the appearance of something made from masses of viscous clay extremely well. Coupled with his ominous facial expression he is a worthy villain for Batman. The inclusion of a third forearm is super good, too. In my view, this is definitely the best and most interesting Batman Movie set.

Nurp-Naut is a plenarily incipient kind of Mixel with two heads and a dual personality. The incipient eyeball pieces used here will appeal to monster makers, and the concept of a reversible face works extremely well, so I love the head in general. Once again I would relish it if those domes were transparent, but the rest of the color culls work super nicely.

Apart from the face, Nurp-Naut is an extremely basic figure, with hinged arms and ball-jointed feet. The feet are not subsidiary at all for posing the Mixel as they are super proximate to his body, but you can balance him on one foot if you choose. The rocket pack looks good on this character additionally, as does his alternate, two-eyed head. This head ostensibly represents the personality of a kid, while the other is that of a smart elder.

Other than the lack of joints my only reprehension for Nurp-Naut would be his alternate binocular face. I cerebrate a mouth should be included beneath the dome as the two eyeballs alone do not fill the helmet prosperously at all. It avails convey the childlike inability to blame this personality, but I am still unconvinced by it in terms of appearance and will be displaying him with the sizable eyeball visible.

Verdict

Nurp-Naut is probably the worst Orbiton, but as good as Boogly.

Pros

The spider leg antennae look superb around his glowing eyeball, which has a toque on top as an eyelid.

Cons

• Like all quadrupedal Mixels, Boogly suffers from horrible articulation. His rear legs can only move out from the body while his forelegs are hinged, so they only move forward and backwards.
• I am hate those exposed studs on either side of his body.
• The only Glow-In-The-Dark part is the eye, which is much smaller than any other glowing part in any other Glowkie.

Verdict

A good set, not even a bad Mixel, but only as good as Dribbal.

As always, I have pros and cons!

Pros

His arms are on ball-joints, which is an uncommon occurrence; and thus a welcomed inclusion.

Cons

• His feet can't move forward or backward. Fine, all Mixels are plagued with that issue, but I still got to penalize him for this missed potential.
• The crystal for the snot looks way to unnatural and artificial.
• More exposed studs than I expect from a Mixel, or any LEGO set awhole.

Verdict

Not a bad set, not even a bad Mixel, just not as good as other Mixels.
