Description

A dragon rather than a human-shaped cast

The build centres on a creature rather than a vehicle or building: a dragon made mostly from black and dark bluish grey, with strong accents in yellowish green and lime. That toxic-looking colour combination reinforces the character's villainous role and stands well apart from the brighter, friendlier tones used in other Elves sets. At 339 pieces the build stays compact, but it still has to capture the complex shape of wings, head and body rather than straight walls or vehicle panels. Moveable joints at the wings and jaw let the finished dragon be posed in a few different ways.

One minifigure, one antagonist

Only one minifigure comes with the set: the Goblin King himself, the antagonist of the Elves stories. That makes the set less suited to multi-character scenes and more useful as an addition to an existing Elves collection, adding a central villain along with his creature. Anyone who already owns Elves minifigures from other sets can slot this antagonist straight in without needing an entirely new building to go alongside it, and can pair it with other sets for larger scenes.

141 different elements for a complex shape

Of the 339 pieces, 141 are different elements, a share that suits the curved, irregular shapes needed for a dragon's body. Wings, claws and head all call for more specialised parts than a square building would, which shows up in the comparatively high variety of pieces. That makes for a technically more interesting build, even though the total piece count of 339 sits in the mid-range.

For fans of fantasy creatures

This set suits anyone after a creature build rather than another vehicle or building, as well as Elves collectors looking to add the Goblin King as an antagonist. The parts list on this page shows all 141 different elements, useful for checking which shades of green and black are included before deciding on the set.
