LEGO® Scorpio

Description

A villain you build yourself

In Hero Factory the characters are not minifigures but poseable robots made of ball joints and armour pieces. Scorpio is one of the villains who take on the heroes of the factory. At 104 pieces he is among the smaller figures in the range, yet a good entry point. The build is quick, and afterwards you have a figure that holds many poses. With no minifigures in the box, the robot itself is the centre of attention. The range thrives on heroes facing villains, with every robot getting a character of its own.

Black, red and a touch of lime

Black and red set the tone, joined by bright lime and flat silver. That suits a scorpion villain: dark armour, red as a warning colour and a green accent like a venomous sting. Among the 104 pieces there are 33 different types, including many joints and specialist parts typical of these figures. Collectors value such parts because they can be reused in other robot builds. Lime is a shade rarely seen in other themes and makes figures stand out immediately.

Playing and displaying

Thanks to the joints Scorpio can be posed ready for battle, rearing up or staged beside a hero from another set. He works as a play figure and as a small shelf piece. Children can assemble him quickly, while collectors place him with the other villains of the Hero Factory range. The parts connect firmly yet stay flexible, so the figure survives long play sessions and is easy to take apart later. The instructions are brief too, because figures of this type are assembled from only a few sub-groups.

Reusing the pieces

Every part in the set is in the list on this page, with colours and quantities. The "What can I build?" tool checks which further models your collection makes possible. The black and red joint and armour pieces can go into homemade robots, creatures or mechs. The lime and silver elements give good accents that are not found in every set. Some of the most interesting custom creations come from the leftovers of several figures, for example with new arms or heads.
