LEGO® CHI Cragger

Description

The crocodile leader as a buildable figure

In the world of Legends of Chima, Cragger leads the crocodile tribe and is one of the best-known rivals in the story. The set does not turn him into a minifigure but into an articulated character made from joints and armour parts, which is typical of the Constraction style. With 65 pieces the build stays manageable. Fans of the series will recognise Cragger by his dark colouring and angular shape, which stands out even without any printed label or box art.

Metallic tones on a dark base

Black, pearl titanium, dark green and flat silver are the main colours. The metallic shades stand out against the dark surfaces and give the figure a cool, armoured look. Pearl titanium and silver often appear only in small amounts, so the colour column of the parts list is worth a look if you want such tones for your own models. On a shelf the figure looks refined for its size because the palette is calm and dark rather than bright and busy.

26 different parts, little repetition

The 65 pieces consist of 26 different shapes, so comparatively little repeats. That is normal for figures like this: every joint, armour plate and weapon has its own form. It is handy if you are searching for specialised parts that ordinary collections rarely contain. The parts list shows each entry with its colour and quantity, so after a play session you can see at once which joint or plate is missing and whether finding a replacement is worth the trouble.

Keep it or recombine it

Constraction figures invite you to swap parts with other characters. Put Cragger next to similar sets and you can combine arms, legs or armour into a figure that is entirely your own. The Can I build this? tool on Bricoria shows which other sets your collection could make. The set came out in 2013 and works well as a small way into the range, without the need to buy something much larger straight away.
