LEGO® Thunderfang

Description

A Ninjago model without figures

Many Ninjago sets come with ninja minifigures, but Thunderfang puts all of its attention on the model itself. With 55 pieces it is small and quick to build. It suits fans who want to add another vehicle or creature to their collection without needing much space. You probably own plenty of figures from other sets already, and they will combine with this model without any trouble. It also slots into any collection, however large it already is.

A bold colour mix

The main colours are red, dark purple and black, with some light bluish grey added. That produces a palette that fits the world of Ninjago, where strong contrasts are part of the style. The number of part types stands out: 27 different shapes among 55 pieces, so nearly every second element is unique. This keeps the build varied, and the list further down lets you check exactly what is in the box whenever you need to. Purple stands out nicely against the red and black.

Made for playing

This is not a display piece for a glass cabinet but a play model. It can be moved, turned and dropped into scenes you invent yourself. At the same time it is compact enough to take along or to leave standing in your room between sessions. If you enjoy making up stories, it gives you a small stage for them. A size of 55 pieces also means younger builders can finish it comfortably without needing much help.

On the name and the pieces

As far as we know, the set has no separate official German name, so the English one is used throughout. If you search for it, that usually helps, since shops mostly use the English title. The “What can I build?” tool shows which models you can put together from this set and your existing collection. Dark purple elements are fairly rare and make a worthwhile addition to other builds. The same goes for the unusual shapes in the list.
