Description

Two greys and a touch of orange

Balk is one of the Mixels, the little brick-built creatures from 2014. The set has 68 pieces and no minifigures, so only the figure itself gets built. Black forms the base, orange adds accents, and light and dark bluish grey fill in the rest. The result feels more technical and less playful than some of its siblings, and it suits children who prefer robots or machines. That also helps when displaying it, since the figure does not get lost beside more colourful sets.

31 types from 68 pieces

With 31 different types the variety is high, and nearly every second element appears only once. That makes the build varied but asks for a little attention when sorting. The parts list on this page gives every element with its colour and quantity, which is useful when you want to check a second-hand set or order a single replacement part. It fits that many parts are meant for joints and connections, with hardly any plain filler bricks.

Grey parts for other projects

Anyone who builds a lot needs grey. The many light and dark greys are in demand for vehicles, buildings, spaceships or walls, and special parts in these colours are welcome even in small numbers. The orange element adds a splash of colour for warning marks or lights. That way even a tiny set finds a sensible place in your collection, whether or not the figure stays assembled. With just a few steps even a small set can be worked into a larger project.

Mix as you please

The range thrives on combining. Body parts can be swapped between figures, which keeps producing new creatures. Balk offers a neutral grey base that suits almost any other figure. With the “What can I build?” tool on Bricoria you can find out which models all your bricks can make and which parts you might still be missing for them. That saves time when you have a particular idea in mind and only need to gather the right parts.
