Description

A classic pairing

Vampires and bats have gone together for as long as anyone can remember, and this set builds both as brick figures. There are no minifigures; the characters themselves are the whole point. It is meant as Halloween decoration for a shelf, windowsill or party table. Together the two figures read like a little scene and need no backdrop to be recognised, which makes them instantly understandable even for children who have never seen them explained. It also sits comfortably beside other seasonal models.

Dark colours, pale details

Black, light bluish grey, dark bluish grey and white define the set. These are the traditional spooky shades, and they create atmosphere without resorting to loud colours. The pale parts pick out the face and details, while darker tones form the cape and body. If you want to reuse the bricks, you get plenty of black and grey, which works for castles, graveyards, bat wings or gloomy vehicles and which many collections are short of.

A manageable build

With 150 pieces in 49 different part types, this is a small project for one evening. The variety of shapes is a little above average for decorative sets like this, hinting at some special elements for the wings and cape. You do not need much experience, but it helps to watch the orientation of each part, because the figures rely on symmetry. The result is a sturdy model that can be handled and moved around without worry. Take your time with the symmetrical parts.

Back out every October

A Halloween model is worth most if you bring it out again each year. The parts list on this page helps you keep track after packing it away and fill any gaps. The “What can I build?” tool also shows which other models you could make from these pieces and your existing collection. That way the set is more than seasonal decoration and becomes raw material for your own spooky projects as well.
