The Legend Sentai Ranger Key sets are slowly ploughing through both old and new Sentai teams, and last month one of the few key sets I've decided to pick up was released - one of my favourite Sentai series...the Dekarangers! Included in the set is Deka Red, Blue, Green, Yellow and Pink (so Deka Break, Master and Swan still need to be bought by other means). Usually I'm not one to complain that much about box art, but the font they chose for the "Special Police Dekaranger" is just flat out awful. It doesn't match the look and tone of the box or the series itself, and feels like something that was pulled out of a default computer font bank last minute. I originally thought about displaying these in the box (like I've done with my Gokaiger set) but the end product has really put me off that idea. As you'd expect, inserting any of the keys into the Mobirates or Legend Mobirates makes the "DEEEEKAAAARAAANGER" call out (along with a unique ...

Who can have a Batman without a Joker? When I received the LEGO DC Universe Super Heroes Batman set (#4526), I was ecstatic to see I was also given his arch nemesis for him to be posed with/battle against. Like Batman, the DC Universe Super Heroes Joker set (#4527) can be combined with the Green Lantern set (#4528) to create a powered up Joker. The Joker is made up of slightly more parts than Batman - 57 as opposed to Batman's 40 (although there were a few spare pieces left over when I was finished building). Once you build the skeleton frame, armour pieces clip on to make out the bulk of the Joker. Save for the small orange spikes decorating the shoulders, there aren't any small pieces making up the Joker himself (there is however a bag of small pieces in the box for the weapon). One thing I have to commend on this kit is the head, they absolutely nailed it. From the rubbery hair to the glaring eyes and huge grin, LEGO couldn't have done any better in portr...

It's been a long time since I bought a LEGO kit. Back in the late 90s/early noughties, ranges like the UFOs, Insectoids, Aqua Zone and Star Wars (back when the mini-figures had yellow skin!)were my toys of choice, and as I got older I moved onto the early Bionicle line. But as the prices went up and I found the ranges less and less exciting I moved on and haven't really looked back at the LEGO line since, save for appreciating the movie franchise lines the company has produced over the years. Having missed picking up any of the original Batman line (I sorely regret not getting the mini-figure sets) when LEGO announced they would be revisiting the DC universe (a long with Marvel) I got quite excited, but still only in terms of the mini-figures. However I recently received the Batman (#4526) and Joker (#4527) sets, I've found myself more interested than I originally expected to be. Made up of 40 pieces, the LEGO Batman stands 8" (20cm) tall and wouldn't look...
