LEGO Star Wars: The Mandalorian The Child 75318 Building Kit; Collectible Buildable Toy Model for Ages 10+, New 2020 (1,073 Pieces)

Product Information

Aunque ya aparece en algunas tiendas europeas, parece ser que su venta tendrá lugar en octubre o noviembre. Algunas fuentes apuntan a que lo veremos a primeros de octubre, mientras que otras más conservadoras hablan del set 75318 ya entrado el mes de noviembre.

Included alongside this upscaled build of The Child is a baby minifigure version. It’s the same design as in 75292 The Mandalorian Bounty Hunter Transport ( review) and is equally as adorable sat on the accompanying display stand for 75318 The Child. Its head is rubber in material and captures a brilliant Baby Yoda expression at a tiny scale. Make a sweet addition to your Star Wars: The Mandalorian collection with this Grogu build-and-display model. Authentic details are recreated in LEGO style, with posable head, ears and mouth for different expressions, plus Grogu's favourite toy - a gearshift knob - for it to hold. Additional tiles and slopes are positioned down the front of the model, depicting the fastener which is visible on the original character. I appreciate such attention to subtle detail and the surrounding layered plates look fantastic, recreating the appearance of crumpled fabric that hangs naturally around the Child. The widening shape towards the base is notably authentic. Following his appearance in 75292 The Razor Crest, The Child is also available here. This miniscule figure features relatively limited detail, resulting from its small size, but the head is remarkably intricate. Wrinkles are moulded across this rubber component and the large ears look marvellous. Furthermore, I like the eyes which are decorated with white highlights.

Improving upon this design would probably be difficult without compromising the Child's facial proportions though, most notably between its eyes and nose. This tiny 1x1 curved slope looks excellent here and I love the reddish brown crescents that decorate the eyes. They are unable to move which restricts the achievable expressions, although you can adjust the Child's mouth and ears to convey some personality. Opening his mouth slightly appears remarkably effective, capturing a sense of wonder as this infant explores the galaxy. Further range in movement and expression, though, is also offered through the three-fingered hands. The arms may be fixed in position, but the ball-jointed wrists and clip-and-bar fingers allows Baby Yoda to be holding something or trying to use the force. — Characters — This new-for-November-2020 buildable model captures all the features of this hugely popular character

Unusually, both my favourite and least favourite aspects of this model are focused upon the head. The wrinkled detail and combination of different curved elements is absolutely brilliant, achieving extraordinary accuracy when compared with the television series. I am particularly delighted with the chubby cheeks. However, the head shape looks too broad in relation to its height and should therefore be slightly taller. En cualquier caso, si te gustó la serie The Mandalorian, te encandiló the child y te gustan las maquetas de personajes Star Wars de LEGO, este set está hecho para ti.

Manual

I say this with some hesitation as I continue to re-assess my Want List and Life Priorities overall. This year has not been kind to me or my family. It had been 11 years since my son had a seizure. Had a couple last week. Takes an already hard year and moves it into an entirely different category.

Importantly, whilst anything released in this wave of popularity – LEGO or otherwise – can be viewed somewhat cynically as opportunistic, 75318 The Child is so incredibly well designed and thought out that it guarantees not only the authenticity any LEGO Star Wars fan could wish for, but also the perfect, truly expressive and so utterly cute version of the character that anyone looking to adopt Baby Yoda is looking for. — Set details —Several new characters were introduced during The Mandalorian television series, including the fascinating Child who has become exceptionally popular. 75318 The Child seems excellent when compared with the source material, integrating tremendous detail. I really like this. And I haven’t ever bought a buildable figurine like it before because, we’ll, it’s never been my thing. Maybe because of the exposed studs. This might be MOCable to have so few exposed studs (and relatively little dusting associated with it) that I might take the plunge. LEGO has produced several large-scale Star Wars characters during recent years but 75318 The Child is undoubtedly my favourite! The shape of the head is not perfect and the reversed fabric textures across the robe look strange, although I understand the reasoning behind that decision. Otherwise, this model looks magnificent, accurately recreating its wonderful source material and including considerable detail.
