Well, it took a couple of months but here is the final Ninjago 10th Anniversary set (Ninjago City Gardens doesn’t count): Fire Dragon Attack!
As someone who’s never really been a fan of living creatures made from Lego (give me a Star Wars ship any day!), I gotta say it’s pretty darn good. It certainly has the look of a dragon and isn’t as ungainly as I was expecting. Sure, anywhere there’s an articulated joint appears odd but most toys struggle in that area so it’s hard to hold it against the set designers.
The build is pretty fun, especially the torso and legs. The moulded head piece, complete with functioning jaw for ultra-realistic minifigure devouring, and wings all look great. The colours, almost entirely reds, oranges and yellows really stand out and help the Fire Dragon to look exactly like you’d expect a mythical flying fire breathing giant lizard to look like.
The ninja minfigures, Jay and Zane, are identical to what we see in a few other sets so are nothing to get too excited about. They’re cool and all; we’ve just seen them a few times already. The bad guy, “evil skeletal general Wyplash” as LEGO calls him, looks cool but feels like he needs some friends. Honestly, two ninja and a freaking Fire Dragon seems like a lot for one skeleton dude to handle. Maybe LEGO could have thrown in another baddy so the general would have someone to order around at least.
As with all of the anniversary’s sets the golden Nya is in a league of her own compared to the rest of the chumps in this set. It’s just such an awesome minfig. I think it’s definitely one of the best golden ninja minfigs in the anniversary sets - second only to Zane.
I hope you enjoy the video!
