Description

Built to be posed

Unlike a vehicle or a building, the Nine-Headed Beast is built primarily to move: ball joints and hinges in the neck, limbs and extra heads let you reposition the creature for different play scenes rather than lock it into one stance. Among the 239 unique parts are plenty of specialised shapes for claws, teeth and the additional heads the set is named after. The parts list on this page shows exactly how many of these special elements there are, typically more than you'd find in a straightforward vehicle build.

Five minifigures, one opponent

Five minifigures face off against the beast in the accompanying scene, which makes 80056 a set built for play as much as display. Out of 757 pieces, a substantial share goes into the creature itself, while the figures come with their own weapons and tools. That balance suits Monkie Kid fans who want a confrontation scene between characters and a large opponent, rather than another vehicle build.

Dark armour, turquoise accents

Dark green and dark bluish grey form the base colours across the body and armour plating, with black picking out claws, horns and fine detail, and dark turquoise appearing as an accent on scales or effect pieces. Together they give the model a menacing rather than a bright, playful look, setting it apart from lighter-coloured sets in the same line. The parts list on this page shows exactly which shapes come in dark turquoise, useful if you're after that less common colour for your own builds.

A parts source beyond the theme

Because so many of its parts are shaped specifically for claws, heads and joints, 80056 also works well as a source of parts for original creature builds outside the Monkie Kid theme. With 757 pieces and 239 unique elements, there's plenty of material to repurpose once you look past the beast it was designed to form.
