Minecraft Skeleton BigFig with Magma Cube

I am a big fan of LEGO and a big fan of Minecraft. These bigfigs have found the perfect scale to represent Minecraft mobs. The skeleton features a firing bow, fully articulated arms, legs and head (just like the game) and even an extra level of articulation at the spine. The iron helmet is a nice added detail, which can easily be removed and added to the other bigfigs. There is also a small Magma Slime which can "hop" and split into 2 in the air, like a slinky, just as it does in the game. The bigfig features a red baseplate, but the skeleton can stand on it's own, and even stand with it's legs apart to suggest it is walking. I love the colours, shaping and details to capture the slender boney shape of the skeleton. Overall I love the set, I can imagine a child who loves Minecraft having a lot of fun with these as if they are Bionicle. I hope others buy so that more series come out, because I can see this style and scale being perfect for many Minecraft toys :) (Note: in my images I left off the arrow launcher for the bow, and moved it so the skeleton holds it on the inside of his arm) more less

Let's be honest, adult fans of LEGO don't always love Minecraft or the LEGO Minecraft theme. And that's OK. Not every theme needs to cater to the adults in the crowd along with its core audience of 6-12-year-olds. But we here at The Brothers Brick always advocate excellence in building, regardless of the theme. And the LEGO Minecraft Big Figs are excellent. They're amazingly accurate models, they're sturdy enough to withstand kid play, and they don't rely on any specialized elements apart from the accessories. This scale fits LEGO Minecraft perfectly. Now there's just one thing we're missing: some scale blocks to accompany them. more less

I think these three Minecraft sets contain some great universal pieces, although you only get the new pieces in rather small numbers. I recommend getting Steve for some good Dark Brown pieces and Alex for the Sand Green. more less

Personally I find it rather bland, but the fact remains that it's another excellent effort as far as recreating the source material. It's a devil of a figure to stand up without the base though. I respect that this is a skeleton but it feels a little more fragile and awkward compared to the solid slabs of Steve and Alex. However, if you need a Minecraft enemy at this scale, then currently this is your only choice. more less

21150 Skeleton BigFig with Magma Cube is a decent set with a few flaws. It is worth buying if you want the complete first series of BigFigs, but on its own is not the best LEGO Minecraft has to offer. more less
