LEGO® Jetbug

Description

An opponent for the heroes

In Hero Factory the heroes face off against monsters and villains, and Jetbug is on the opposing side. At 63 pieces the set is small and quick to build. Instead of minifigures you get a poseable figure whose arms and legs can turn and bend. That makes it a good play set, because you can change poses and stage fights against other figures from the line without taking anything apart. The short build time suits an afternoon when you simply want something new in your hands.

Metallic tones and bold red

The main colours are black, red, pearl titanium and bright light orange. Black and pearl titanium give the villain a dark, metallic look, while red and orange work as warning colours that stress how dangerous it is meant to be. With 22 different part types the parts list is fairly varied for a set of this size. Unusual shades such as pearl titanium are not always easy to find in other sets, which makes these parts interesting for customisers.

Joints and connectors instead of plain bricks

Hero Factory figures use ball joints and special connectors, so many parts look nothing like classic bricks. That changes the building experience: you clip armour pieces onto a frame rather than stacking layer upon layer. The build is therefore manageable even for children who struggle with long instruction booklets. If you own several sets from the range, you can swap arms, legs and weapons between figures and design creatures of your own.

Reusing the parts

This page lists the complete parts list with every colour and quantity. If you already own other figures from the line or technic-style parts, the What can I build? tool helps you find combinations that come out of this set plus your existing stock. That turns the small villain into a building block for larger models of your own, without buying anything new. Because it takes up so little room, it is easy to store in a small box with other figures and bring out again when you need it.
