LEGO® Glomp

Description

A green creature

Glomp stands out chiefly through colour: lime and green dominate, with black and dark bluish grey for detail. That gives a glowing, slightly slimy look, which suits a character with a made-up name. The 64 pieces snap together in short order, and what comes out is a small fellow with movable arms and legs who invites play at once and attracts attention on a shelf. Beginners in particular get a friendly chance to change a figure themselves.

The Mixels principle

The theme thrives on mixing and matching: parts from different figures are built to be swapped. Glomp plus another figure gives a new creature that appears in no instruction booklet. That encourages creativity, since there is no wrong answer. Anyone owning more than one figure gets extra combinations with each new one. A few sets are enough to try dozens of variants, which tends to surprise the whole family and keeps children busy for far longer than you would expect. Swapping needs no tools, and nobody has to worry about assembling something wrongly.

The parts list at a glance

The parts list on this page shows 23 different types among the 64 pieces. That is a decent blend of standard bricks and special shapes such as joints, eyes or hands. The small special parts are popular for other projects, for instance as details on robots or fantasy creatures. Green ones are rarer, which makes it worthwhile to compare a second-hand copy with the list before you buy it and avoid surprises.

Building further

You can leave Glomp as he is or fold the parts into other models. The What can I build? tool on this page shows which models your collection allows once you have entered your sets. It works out what can be assembled without buying anything new. A figure of 64 pieces thus becomes a small source of ideas that stays useful even in bigger collections. Adults who like Mixels as a desk figure or a small gift also find a quick bit of tinkering for odd moments here.
