LEGO Legends of Chima Gorzan's Gorilla Striker

By The LEGO Group
Price $49.99
Age 8-14 yrs.

This kit provides the immense satisfaction of assembling 505 pieces into a universe of fierce mini-figures and futuristic weaponry, a world whose astonishing detail and functionality inspires countless hours of imaginative play. Those pieces come tidily packaged in 4 separate bags within the box, making it easy to follow the step-by-step illustrations. The kit's centerpiece is the Gorilla Striker, an impressively fierce robot-like machine with pose-able joints in which the Gorzan figure sits top-and-center, the brains of this mammoth battle station. A panel in the striker's chest swings open to reveal six flick missiles that can be launched from controls in the rear. A powerful banana launcher on the striker's shoulder sends a missile flying through the air, and a mechanism in back allows you to swing its massive gorilla-like arms and hands (with giant articulated fingers) in a wide arc. This feature is handy in knocking Rizzo's flying machine (with the Rizzo figure aboard) from the raven nest tower, a stronghold with a functional fruit catapult in its base. The other two figures, both exclusives, are G'Loona and Grumlo, and all 4 figures come equipped with weaponry, armor, and head gear. Out of this world!
