Description

Small mechanical creatures

Robots are a popular building subject because arms, legs and heads can be combined freely. The name already hints that small models result here rather than one large robot. That suits the idea behind the Designer Sets: a box of parts from which several figures with their own look emerge, none of them identical to the next. If you enjoy inventing characters, you have room to play, since proportions and posture can be changed to taste at any time.

A metallic impression

Black, dark grey and light grey define the set, with yellow accents added. These colours give a feeling of metal and machinery without any real metal parts. The yellow acts like a warning marking and makes the figures look livelier. For your own collection, grey and black parts are especially handy, since they are needed again and again in machines, vehicles and spaceships, and are seldom available in sufficient numbers. The contrast between the shades of grey also gives the figures some depth.

A well-mixed selection

The 229 pieces are spread across 67 part types, so many elements appear more than once. That makes it easier to build several similar robots without it becoming dull. Joints, connectors and small plates mean the models can still be reshaped after building. Sorting the parts into a larger collection gives you solid basic material for figures that are supposed to have movable limbs and a recognisable face. That also suits children who want to keep changing their figures after the build is done.

Check and recombine

The parts list on this page shows each element with colour and quantity, ideal for a completeness check on a second-hand set. The What can I build? tool also shows which further models could come out of your parts. Mini Robots also combine well with other technical or designer sets, should you plan larger robots or whole scenes with several figures standing together. The range of connectors pays off then, as they fit with many other parts.
