LEGO® Tentro

Description

A small creature in warning colours

Tentro is one of the Mixels, compact brick-built creatures that appeared in 2014 alongside an animated series. The set has 69 pieces and no minifigures, so the figure alone takes the starring role. It goes together quickly and stands steadily enough to be moved, displayed or combined with other Mixels into a new creature, and no detailed instruction booklet is needed to understand how the pieces connect. That suits children who would rather start playing straight away than spend long building.

Orange leads the palette

Orange is the dominant colour, supported by black, trans-orange and dark bluish grey. The contrast makes the figure stand out on a shelf at once. The see-through pieces add depth because they refract light differently from the solid bricks. If you need a shade for fire, hazard signs or construction vehicles, the parts list holds several useful elements that carry over well into other projects. Orange also rarely appears in such quantities in small sets.

25 types in a tight space

The 69 pieces break down into 25 different types. That is a good mix of standard bricks and specialist parts intended for joints, the face or the body shape. For tinkerers this is exactly what makes it interesting, because specialist parts can be reused as details in your own models. On this page you can see every type with its colour and quantity, so it is easy to check whether your copy is complete. This pays off above all when you later look for parts for constructions of your own.

Mix and keep building

The play value of Mixels lies in mixing, since arms, legs and heads can be swapped between figures. Tentro suits this well because its colours differ clearly from those of other creatures. The “What can I build?” tool on Bricoria tells you which models your whole collection can produce, which helps when the figures have long been taken apart and the pieces sit mixed up in a box. So the set stays useful even when the figure itself is no longer assembled.
