LEGO® Core Hunter

Description

An opponent for the heroes

In Hero Factory, robot heroes face villains who cause trouble, and Core Hunter belongs to the second group. He is a small figure meant as an opponent in play. At 51 pieces the build is straightforward, but it carries the range's typical jointed construction, so arms and legs move. That makes him a figure you will want to pose and send into battle against other Hero Factory characters from your collection. Fans of the range find in such figures an affordable way to enlarge the villain side.

Dark, red and metallic

The main colours are black, red, pearl titanium and light bluish grey. Pearl titanium is a metallic sheen that works well on robots and gives the figure a technical feel. With 28 different part types among 51 pieces the mix is unusually varied, since almost every second piece has its own shape. The parts list on this page shows each type with its colour, so you can hunt for the rarer elements. The variety of parts also makes the set interesting for tinkerers who look specifically for joints and armour.

For collectors of special parts

Hero Factory figures rely heavily on ball joints and armour pieces that rarely turn up in ordinary brick sets. That is why builders who design their own robots and creatures like them. Core Hunter supplies a solid selection in dark colours. With no minifigure in the box, he stands alone as an action figure and needs no extra pieces to look complete. They also give collectors a reason to hunt for the matching opponents of the hero figures.

Rebuild and combine

The parts can be swapped with other figures in the range, which produces new hybrid creatures. Add the set to your collection on Bricoria and the “What can I build?” tool will suggest further models you can make with your stock. That turns the villain into a source of ideas for your own builds, even if the original instructions went missing long ago. It helps to keep an eye on the shades, because pearl titanium and grey are easily mixed up.
