kaelthas Posted January 18, 2017 (edited) Hello, today I'll be reviewing the Penguin's mobile. Overview Name: 70911 The Penguin™ Arctic Roller Theme: The LEGO Batman Movie Year: 2017 Pieces: 305 Minifigs: 2 Price: RM 179.90/ $29.99/ MYR179.90 Introduction The LEGO Batman movie was a theme that I don't quite venture into as I prefer buildings instead of vehicles. One day when I walked pass this set on the shelf, the antique looking car caught my eye and I just got it without any hesitation. White and pearl gold combination of colors is so striking and you will notice how much i liked the curvy parts in my review below. The front box art. It was eye catching as i don't really like LEGO cars. Fell in love in the first sight! Oh that's a Voodoo Jack. Its included in the pictures only as reference and its not included in the set. And yes, the boat doesn't float. I like the 1:1 picture. But as a LEGO fan, you already know how big a minifigure should be. Alright, lets open the box. You get 2 numbered bags and 2 booklets. Each booklet completes each bags. Oh, Stickers. Anyhow you still get a printed parts for this set. It looks like some kind of turbine. Special parts for bag 1. I like those sexy curves. Lets get started. Batman is kinda pushy. The first step. Going on. The wheel here is not attached to any compartments. End of bag 1. The curves! I really liked the balloon part. Ok. Lets Start with bag 2 special parts. (only applied to me as i feel they are special.) The shape of the car is showing.. Can't wait to finish it! Ok lets look at this build, what do you think it looks like? And after around one hour build, tada... Wait for it.. The front view. And tadaaaaa... Multiple views! The standard Car commercial shot. Right side of the car, you can notice the penguin head at the front of the car. Horizontally. I bet the fish is marinated before The Penguin use it as a side cannon.. Left side. The pearl gold is nice. Higher shot. Now you can see the sticker and the printed turbine. Rear shot. Isnt it gorgeous? And EXTRA parts. A bonus to Unicorn girl for the extra horn. The Minifigures. First The Batman. The back printings. Nice back muscles. Second The Penguin. I like his umbrella, and the BELLY! He has no back printing, no double face. But the wristband print was exclusive i think.. To me, I really like both of them as they are so much detail on the torso with batman's six packs and the penguins belly covered with his coat. And plus you get an extra yellow belt! Now the armored batman is smiling with his new belt. Err, tht grin is kinda smiling for him, haha. You can see the cape's texture is different from the armored batman cape. I like the new cape as the old paper-like cape was quite easily damaged. DC Universe minifigures that I have for now. Run Penguin Run! This is the Penguin's seat. Is he always that grumpy? Only he can fit with his short legs. Cant even bring his umbrella. Summary review Playability: 8/10 (Nothing to play with actually other than the quite powerful spring shooting at the front of the car.) Design: 10/10 (Outstanding design, with great use of curve bricks. I like the structure of it very much, the car is very nice for display.) Price: 8/10 (Its always expensive when it comes to Malaysia.) Overall: 8/10 (LEGO should more minifigures in this set!)

mediumsnowman Posted January 18, 2017 Very nice review, and excellent photography! The set itself is well designed and looks superb, but the lack of exclusive figures pushes it down on my priority list. I wish I could get all the new Batman movie sets, but my wallet will have none of it! I think Gentleman Ghost or Clock King would have been great additions to this set and would definitely have helped boost the popularity. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks for the kind words~! my wallet too.. yeah i agree that this set only gives 2 minifigures made me hesitate a bit before buying but the design of the car is just too nice. Check out my other reviews. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
r5-j2 Posted January 18, 2017 Another great review, but I find these vehicles to be a bit over the top (now not sure at all about getting the Batmobile ) ,but maybe once I see the movie, I`ll relate to them better.The forth-coming Batwing ,with Harley is the one I`m looking forward to, but this Penguin set is now definitely on the list, the Penguin figure is stunning as are your fotos...keep up the great work!!

Littleworlds Posted January 18, 2017 Excellent review! Structure, photos, writing - can hardly be done better! I share your excitement about the car. It is really a spectacular build I wont have expected in an official set. Rather in an MOC really, given what extravagant mixture of large diesel locomotive and vintage bugatti from the 1930s it is. I'd prefer this car anytime over the batmobile, despite the minifig lineup, which looks more like an RC racer to me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SerenityInFire Posted January 18, 2017 I really reminds me of Johnny 5 from the movie Short Circuit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VaderFan2187 Posted January 19, 2017 Great review and great pictures! You should sign up for the Reviewers Academy But 2 bags for a $30 set? That's pretty bad value to me, as the $30 Hovertank had 4 bags. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
