Description

Animals and fantasy creatures

The name promises something untamed, and the colours fit: black and orange recall big cats, green suggests jungle and meadow, and red adds bold accents. As part of the Designer Sets within Creator, the collection supplies material for several possible builds rather than a single model. If you enjoy being creative, you get bricks for animals, plants and made-up creatures of your own. It suits builders who would rather design freely than follow instructions down to the last brick.

A wide spread of parts

With 87 types among 487 pieces the mix is much more varied than in a simple bucket of bricks. That points to plenty of special shapes that work for bodies, heads, wings or tails. There are enough different elements for detail, while the total quantity stays manageable. The complete parts list with colours and quantities is further down this page. If you are checking a second-hand collection, it helps you tick off every single part.

Building without figures

No minifigures come with the set, so the animals and creatures take centre stage. That makes the build calmer but also more open, because you decide how the model finally looks. Children can design their own fabled beasts, while adults may try for more natural proportions. Once finished, a group of such animals on a shelf looks surprisingly lively. They are as suitable for play as for display. You can also add a landscape built from plates if you feel like it.

Reusing the parts

The colour mix of black, green, red and orange blends well with other sets. The “What can I build?” tool on Bricoria shows which further sets you could assemble from the Wild Collection plus your own stock. Many of the small special parts run short in other collections, which makes them a practical addition when you work on fine detail. Because black and orange parts do not turn up everywhere, they are a welcome choice for stripes, patterns and eyes, especially on tigers.
