Description

A skull on wheels

The vehicle is built around a grinning skull mounted on a wide chassis, with a jaw that opens as part of the attack function. The colour scheme of black, red, dark bluish grey and reddish brown fits the grim jester theme Jestro carries throughout the series. Horns, spikes and a banner on top give the model a strong silhouette that reads instantly against the brighter knight vehicles from the same line, even at a distance, and makes it easy to spot on a shelf full of other sets.

Catapult and launcher mechanics

A catapult arm sits on the back of the vehicle for firing projectiles at rival knights, backed up by a second flick mechanism mounted at the front. Both functions are lever-operated and can be triggered independently of each other. For a set at this price point, that is an unusually generous number of built-in functions, which keeps the model relevant for staging duels against other NEXO KNIGHTS sets once the build itself is finished.

Jestro and his sidekick

Two minifigures come with the set: Jestro himself in his signature jester's cap, and a second villain to crew the vehicle alongside him. Both are scaled to the driving positions built into the model and pose well for duel scenes against the line's knight sets. Anyone collecting the villain side of NEXO KNIGHTS can use the parts list on this page to match armour pieces and colours against other sets in the theme.

253 elements in a detailed build

Out of 658 pieces, 253 are distinct elements, a high ratio that reflects the number of specialised pieces used for spikes, horns and panelling. The build alternates between technical sections for the chassis and catapult and pure detailing steps for the skull shape. The full parts list on this page shows every element with its colour and quantity, handy for reusing individual spiked or horned pieces in other monster or fantasy builds.
