LEGO® Ogrum

Description

An opponent for the heroes

Hero Factory pits heroes against villains, and Ogrum is on the villains' side. The set is a poseable action figure rather than a building or a vehicle: the body is built around ball joints and connectors, so arms and legs can be set in plenty of poses. There are no minifigures. At 59 pieces it is one of the smaller figures in the line, but it suits collectors who want to line up the whole rogues' gallery on one shelf.

Dark colours and special parts

Dark green, reddish brown and black dominate, with a metallic pearl titanium accent. The ratio of pieces to part types is striking: only 59 pieces, yet 25 different elements. That tells you many are specialist parts that rarely appear in ordinary brick assortments, such as joints, curved armour plates and decorative pieces. For your own robots, monsters and mechs, a mix like this is far more rewarding than a set of plain standard bricks.

Playing and posing

Constraction figures are made to be handled. You can stand Ogrum on a shelf as he is, or send him into battle against other Hero Factory figures, and since the build is quick, turning him into a different creature takes little effort. Younger builders will find the size pleasantly manageable, while adults tend to appreciate the articulation and the chance to mix parts with other figures to invent new characters. That keeps the figure interesting for much longer than a single afternoon.

Checking and reusing the parts

The parts list on this page shows all 25 part types with colour and quantity. That is useful for replacing individual joints or plates if a second-hand copy is missing something. You can also use the “What can I build?” tool to see which other sets your collection could make with these pieces. Hero Factory specialist parts are often the key to figures in other themes, so they are worth keeping. Checking a second-hand set against the list takes only a few minutes.
