The Cobra Posted January 10, 2009 Today it would be called an Impulse set, if the box wasn't so large. Are you ready to face (evil) Ogel in the deep sea? Set data: 4798: Evil Ogel Attack Year: 2002 Theme: Alpha Team Subtheme: Mission Deep Sea Pieces: 20 (no extra pieces) Price: 3 USD / ?? EUR / ?? UKP Building time: less than 5 minutes MISB on review: Yes More info: Brickset - Peeron Note: Also available in Polybag with different number (1427), name (Ogel underwater slizer) and instructions with no comics and no theme overview. Box front: Previewing set and comics. Box back: Spotlight on some AT-MDS small sets. Box content: A small bag, a promo poster and the instructions sheet. Random instructions page: Not much to build, but look at the background. Ain't it great? From the instructions sheet: Theme overview, character names (is Ogel that evil to need the AT fighting 6 vs. 1?) and guess the missing piece to unlock secret content on the AT website. From the instructions sheet: 2 comics pages. Ogel reminds me a bit of Homer... Promo poster: the less attractive I've seen so far. Please click on thumbnails to view larger pics. Ready to build?: You're gonna have your hands full for the next two minutes or so... Ogel: With his red eye, his trans red hook, a shoulder pad borrowed from Insectoids and UFO and a large visor like those in the City Space Port theme The showdown: "So you think you're a bricka$$?" The Slizer: The "Vehicle" can be basically split into three parts. No cockpit or seat, Ogel uses his only hand on the left handle. The Slizer: "Beware, humans: here's the slizer from the big propellor side..." The Slizer: "...and here it is shot from my handling side". The Slizer: "Behold: two hinges allow the front arm to rotate". Ogel and the Slizer: let the conquest of the world sea begin! Review: Do you want to own at least one Ogel minifig and for really cheap? Here's your chance. This is as basic as a set could be, but I think an army of these Slizers would look good. Yet it's odd to to have the Big Evil on such a small army-building set. But that's no different from having some 10 Vladeks in KKII, I think. I ended up buying this set even if I already had an Ogel minifig (4796 Mutant squid). Rating: Color scheme: 5/5. Red, black and dark grey; no need to use 10 different colours on a 20 pieces set. Minifigs and accessories: 3/5. Average between 5 for the minifig and 1 for (no) accessories. Keep in mind that poor Ogel has to use his only hand to catch at the Slizer! Pieces: 4/5. TransRed propellors are exclusive to the MDS sub-theme. No more special pieces, but you shall remember this is something really cheap. Playability: 4/5. Nice touch to have the arm moving up and down (close to the propellor) and rotating (close to the vehicle). Design: 4/5. Not bad with so few pieces. Overall rating: 4/5. It looks quite good, minifig looks impressive with those shoulder pads and the big visor (a small visor wouldn't suit an Evil guy like Okel, would it?) and the Slizer is a fine small piece of Evil army. The final words: Watch out, you can still find it for little money on the net. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
