The Penguin’s hench-penguins are also new. Below are the two minifigure Penguin versions, with the Arctic Roller Penguin on the left, and the Batcave’s Penguin on the right. But now, low and behold, the Penguin is happy! Normally, we are used to seeing minifigs with happy faces on one side and grumpy faces on the back, but since the Penguin’s top hat leaves the back of his head exposed, we have to be content with single-side faces. In the previous set, he was rather grumpy. I particularly like the ingeniously designed white and red missiles located on the sides of the Duckmobile.Īlthough we’ve already seen the Penguin in the Penguin Arctic Roller, he’s got a new face in this set. It’s got cuteness for days and is quite sturdy. The Penguin’s duck car is my favorite thing in this set. The first bag contains the Penguin, his hench-penguins, and everything you need to build the adorable Duckmobile. There are eight numbered bags and one large instruction booklet in this set. 2 Hench-penguins (flightless murder machines).The Penguin (aka Oswald Cobblepot, aka Danny Devito).Batman (original, crime-fighting version).Raging Batsuit (a play on Scorsese’s movie Raging Bull).Scu-Batsuit (short for “Scuba Batsuit”).Bat-Pack Batsuit (presumably, a play on the Rat Pack).Alfred Pennyworth (butler extraordinaire).(It’s on sale on Amazon for $88.) The set has 1,047 pieces and comes with 9 minifigures including (pictured below, from right to left): The Duckmobile reminds me of Tim Burton’s films, the high-tech Bat-console is reminiscent of Christopher Nolan’s take on the franchise, and the Bat-wardrobe seems like it was specifically designed for Adam West’s campy version of the bat.īatcave Break-In is currently in stores and and retails for $99.99 USD. Interestingly, I’d say that the design of this set (and in turn, the design of The LEGO Batman Movie) incorporates a bit of style from all of the Batman imaginings across the years. Best of all, the set comes with 9 great minifigs, several of which are exclusive to this set. There are a ton of interesting play features built into the design and the two vehicles are phenomenal. Overall, this set has a lot going for it. So while we count down the days until the hilarity ensues, let’s review one of the The LEGO Batman Movie sets: 70909 Batcave Break-In. We already know that Will Arnett as Batman is hilarious and there’s bound to be plenty of LEGO jokes hidden in the background. I don’t know about you guys, but I am super pumped for The LEGO Batman Movie coming out on February 10, 2017.
