Description

Outer space, insect style

Insectoids was a Space sub-line in which spacecraft looked like insects and aliens came with compound eyes or crawling legs. Cosmic Creeper belongs to it and carries the character in its very name: a craft that scuttles rather than flies through strange landscapes. With only 59 pieces it is a small model that shows off the appeal of the line at a manageable size and goes together in just a few steps without much fuss.

Blue, grey and neon green

The colour mix is easy to recognise: blue and dark grey form the base, black adds contrast, and trans-neon green provides the alien glow. This glowing colour contributes much to the look of Insectoids models, and collectors of the line tend to watch for such details. The parts list on this page shows every colour variant on its own, so you can compare against what you already own and see which pieces you still need for the model you have in mind.

One figure, many shapes

A single minifigure comes with the set, the crew of the vehicle. The variety of parts is more interesting: 36 different element types among just 59 pieces means many pieces appear only once. That suggests a detailed model with special parts, not a heap of identical standard bricks. For a set of this size it is a good mix that keeps the build varied and gives the Creeper a face and a character of its own.

Play, display, rebuild

The Creeper works well displayed beside other Space sets, for instance as a rival to astronauts. Thanks to its small size it is quickly built and easy to store. Enter your pieces on this page and open the “What can I build?” tool to see which models your stock and these 59 pieces can produce together. The rare special elements and the translucent neon parts in particular can be interesting for space builds of your own.
