LEGO® Fangz

Description

Opponent for the heroes

Hero Factory pitted heroes against villains, and Fangz plays for the second team. It is a compact fighting figure with 55 pieces and no minifigures, built around poseable joints meant for action scenes. The name hints at teeth and bites, and the design leans on sharp, pointed elements to match. The instructions are clear enough that a younger builder can manage alone, and a finished figure is ready for battle within a few minutes, ready for the next round.

Dark with a bright accent

Black forms the base, with silver pieces and dark bluish grey for the joint parts. The standout is the translucent neon orange, which gives the villain a glowing accent. The 55 pieces split into 26 part types, including several specialist elements you rarely see in ordinary town sets. The parts list on this page shows each one separately, so you can compare it against your own bricks and see where any gaps are. Spotting the odd colours, such as the neon orange, takes seconds.

Playing and collecting

Figures from this line were made to move. Arms and legs adjust, so fights and chases work well on the living-room floor. If you prefer display, Fangz looks good next to heroes from the same wave. The range ended after only a few years, which is why collectors tend to hunt for the villains specifically, and a complete parts list is useful for checking second-hand offers before you buy. Any missing element shows up straight away, together with its quantity.

Parts beyond the robot

The specialist pieces also suit freeform designs such as robots, creatures or fantasy figures. With the “What can I build?” tool you can see which additional sets your existing pieces would cover once Fangz is in the box. The joints and silver elements are especially sought after for your own creations, because they appear in only a handful of other ranges. That turns a single villain into a useful spare-parts source for new ideas.
