everybody this is the Lego Batman movie egghead mech food fight said it makes me
happy to look at it in many ways this doesn't quite look like a Lego set
it looks like a mock a custom creation and I say that with utmost respect and
admiration it looks like a custom creation made by somebody who's really
good at doing custom creations that don't use too many pieces and that don't
use any illegal building techniques or anything like something that could in my
wildest dreams be turned into a Lego set but would most likely never actually be
turned into a Lego set unless maybe it was through the Lego ideas system or
something it's just such a fresh design and creative and interesting it does
things that are just for fun it has that little bit of kind of neo classic space
feel to it but then it's silly and it's actually based on real DC Comics lore
the build actually went together quite simply and pretty quickly didn't take
much time none of it was frustrating all of the sub assemblies went together well
that right there I have to keep coming back to it is a print that's a printed
dish piece that they included exclusive to this set there is a sticker sheet
though pretty much everything else that you see that looks like a decoration is
actually a sticker on this but I appreciate getting that that one print
they did it because they don't they don't put stickers over surfaces that
are curved against more than one axis at least not anymore
the shoulders are way up here and that puts the arms way out of the way of the
rest of the body and allows set arms to have a good range of motion I mean you
bring the arm all the way out to here still rotate it around you can get it to
come across the body look how far it'll go across and then you also have this
ball joint at the elbow and on either side so that allows you to do some
useful things as well see if I can get this back to a more stable State
it's not a to reach quite across right there in
that particular form but use the shoulder with it a little bit
this actually is grabber arm here has a rotating feature so you can blend things
up spin things up it's a great looking grabber arm it's not like at least as
far as I can remember it's not like anything that Lego has done before on
any of their mechs each of these is independently articulated so you can
grab just about any size or shape of objects with these is a little bit of
hook towards the end of each and you've got anti studs under there so you can
kind of cheat a little bit to connect some things and you know do different
stuff you can rotate these around in different ways kind of cradle something
even see if I get there we go look at that
you practically create a hand to shape out of it out of this egg beater type of
mechanism that's pretty nice and then on the other side they just have a disc
launcher that's built into this and it's down here at the base so rather than
firing things out the actual nozzle here you just fire from down below it's
really simple I mean you just load a single 2x2 disc into the the launcher
that kind of sticks out like a magazine below here but you fire that off and the
thing that you're firing off I guess access to this isn't isn't all that
great it does fire pretty well but what you're
firing off is something great itself this is a print as well not a sticker so
a printed disc piece I'm gonna get you a couple more of those since it dropped
one egg broke one got two more total of three included in the set cool little
piece you can kind of use it to represent a an overeasy ostrich egg or
something in in minifig scale really nice glad to get that I also like the
kind of backpack what'd you call this the the hatchery on
the on the back here which is fully enclosed and including the the clear
dome on top that is not a full chicken it doesn't have any any print on it or
any paint applications it's just plain white but it's the traditional chicken
piece that they've had around for for a little while now
each of these chickens are excuse me each of these eggs not chickens yet but
each of these eggs is at a slightly different level you know just going
around the outside of the thing 120 degrees apart from each other you can
change exactly where they are but it looks good these are stickers that you
apply here do be careful with those because they're going against you know a
clear surface but I think they work out just fine the hose connection here works
out just fine what about the legs I showed you the
articulation of the arms and then really talk about the legs
these are shorties little little ones using the creature and
character-building system parts with some friction adders they're all that
friction allows you to very easily get this thing onto one leg without any
problem whatsoever surprisingly there's I didn't even mean to do that I mean
it's you know it's touching with the just the right heel now it's able to get
into this kind of walking action poses really youthfully really easily I mean
it yeah it doesn't have knees at which to bend but this kind of almost works
like a knee right here just because of how far it is up from from the base of
each foot but I mean it just it just works you can see I can get this in yeah
there we go you can do something like that just so easily and I've not even
you know taking care to put the arms in any specific position that I think would
make the whole mech more stable here okay and I've brought one arm out so
it's leaning over to one side a little bit I'll just shift the body just oops
shift the weight does have quite a bit of friction in each of those joints
there but shift the weight over to the other side it's almost there
shifted a little bit and farther without even leaning it fully so now it's just
just barely balancing a little bit more there we go it's able to stand I mean
this thing has stability it has the ability to move around the cockpit
section is is great I mean that's just a single clear piece that covers the whole
front that has a pretty good pretty good shape to fit with the whole
kind of a deviled egg or soft-boiled egg kind of kind of look and these are
different the control sticks aren't what you usually get usually you get just
those almost antenna style little levers but here they've used the relatively new
pieces that are done in gray there and put a couple of small Barb's horn pieces
on the tops and this thing is still rotating around on just a single foot
and it's not complaining to me about it kind of bounce in an interesting way but
yeah this is I mean there's nothing about this that I personally have found
in just fiddling around with it to be annoying or you know inferior to what I
would expect everything is just as good as I would want or better
mostly better surprise surprise it's a Lego Batman movie set that comes with a
Batman doesn't come with a Batarang though that actually was a surprise to
me I was 100% certain it would come with a Batarang but instead it comes with the
the grappling gun doesn't actually do anything which can pull the grappling
hook out if you want to use that in imaginative play you know it's it's just
a Batman it's got the modern style of Cape it's pretty much the same thing
that you see on most of the Lego Batman movie sets he has two phases near the
two expressions that's an interesting one interesting expression not such a
common thing I guess that's not all that common either you know it looks like
he's not entirely certain what to think at this point let me show you what this
face looks like through the mask yeah that's a good one for this particular
envisioning of Batman you know specifically for the Will Arnett Batman
I think this works really well I don't know exactly why maybe it's just
cynicism but after seeing the Lego Batman movie I was pretty confident that
they were not going to make an actual condiment man figure and that made me
very very sad even though you know I hadn't seen anything stating that they
wouldn't I just felt that they weren't going
- I think I had seen the you know first wave of sets and the first collectible
minifig series I wasn't sure they were gonna do a second and it just looked
like there was gonna be no condiment man well here's a condiment man and my life
is complete I am so happy to have been so wrong about that
he's pretty accurate to the movie only thing that's a little bit off with this
one is that the printing for the face as is unfortunately common is just a little
bit on the thin side needed a little bit more opacity there to bring that towards
a proper skin tone I mean it's possibly difficult to see on camera but there's a
dramatic difference in the skin tone between what it's supposed to be and
what you'll see in official marketing pictures for it and what you actually
get but it I was gonna say but otherwise no but still it's a condiment man figure
with dual molded legs and he's got the full mustard and ketchup backpack on
these are stud shooters that give you some extra studs in red and in yellow
I am happy camper that is a bright green colored helmet that he has on a lot more
expressiveness beneath that it does have an alternate face and I just turn this
head around as you can see what that looks like
excellent again I wish there was a better skin tone but still pretty cool
looking that definitely works no print on the back of the torso though and I'm
not mad about it because I'm never gonna take this pack off because it's
essential it's part of the character so yeah just leave it like that no problem
I've saved the star of the set for last because I'm not saving the best for last
I mean condiment man is the best but still this is a pretty good figure good
print for the torso and that is a boar and new piece for the egg head and that
has the correct color it looks like it's actually just the slightly off in in hue
it's a little bit more red then the the head is but it's it's super
super subtle not something that bothers me at all no print on the back of the
torso that is a little bit of a disappointment to me I wish there was
just at least just a crease down the down the center that would have would
have would have helped and would have gone well I think with the the tails
here of the suit but really happy to get this piece here you know just attaches
to to a stud and it just fits around the head pretty well leaves a little bit of
gap it looks much better from a distance than it does getting all up close like
this the most important thing to me about this figure and especially that
new headpiece is that it lasts my saitama can be complete you know I was
looking at this thing for a little while after I built it and I was watching some
TV this evening and I realized that you don't really need to care anything about
the Lego Batman movie to smile when you look at this you don't need to care
anything about obscure DC Comics villains of the past you don't need to
honestly really even care about Lego at first glance it's even possible to not
even notice that this is a Lego thing and if you're not into Lego at all I
still feel like most people seeing this would take a second you know a second
glance at it and walk up closer to it and want to grab it and move around to
the arms and the especially the grabber the the beater over here and the fingers
and just play with it look at it from different angles and ask questions about
it what is this thing and why do I like it what there's something about it
that's that's interesting and cool there's just a certain feel-good feeling
that I get from looking at this from the way that it's designed it's it's a
combination of its its shape its colors just just everything about it just is
good it's it's just very positive so thank you to whomever at live
designed this for that feel good feeling that you've given to me I have to admit
that the price of $30 us bear with me here feels a little bit much for the
height of the thing just based on the height I actually have to kind of use
critical thinking skills to deduce value based upon the width of it and the depth
of it and the number of pieces and the complexity of the build once I do that
I'm okay with the price I'm not going to complain about it at first glance wish
it was a $25 set but Lego you are in the extra five bucks from me I'm not gonna
haggle you over it it's a good set and I would definitely pay that again for it
as a matter of fact now I think about it I may actually get a second one of these
for myself so that's it for my thoughts about the egghead mech foodfight set I
hope you enjoyed this I certainly did I'll talk to you in soon
