Lego Creator 31121 - 3-in-1 Crokodile / Snake / Frog (454 pieces)

Product Information

Large-scale animals are one of the highlights of the Creator 3-in-1 theme and this year we've been graced with two of them: 31112 Wild Lion, and 31121 Crocodile which is released next month. This LEGO® Creator 3in1 Crocodile (31121) playset will fuel kids’ creativity with 3 models in 1 – a Crocodile, snake and frog. Look out for other great new-for-2021 LEGO® Creator 3in1 playsets: SpaceShuttle Adventure (31117), Ferris Wheel (31119) and Medieval Castle (31120). With 454pieces, this LEGO® Creator 3in1 playset is the perfect gift for youngsters aged 7 and up who enjoy rewarding building tasks. What I found interesting, something I've not noticed in other Creator 3-in-1 sets that I've built, is that several pieces that are required for the frog and snake but not this one are buried inside the croc's body: the frog's eyes and the two pieces for the fly, for example.

Two ancillary builds accompany the carnivore: a fish skeleton and a small bird. I suspect crocodiles eat fish whole and don't spit out the bones, but it's a fun little model nevertheless. With 454 pieces, this LEGO Creator 3in1 playset is the perfect gift for youngsters aged 7 and up who enjoy rewarding building tasks.

Verdict

The Crocodile measures over 1 in. (4 cm) high, 14 in. (38 cm) long and 4 in. (12 cm) wide – the ideal size for kids to play with at home or take to a friend’s house to share the fun. The 3 wild animal toys are highly posable: The Crocodile and snake can both move their bodies and jaws, while the frog can move its legs and long tongue to inspire kids’ playtime.

I particularly like the serpent's eyes, which are created using a yellow 3l bar with round 1x1 'polo' plates on the ends. The alternate models are nothing special but the semiaquatic reptilian predator is spectacular! Everything about it looks very realistic. The colour-scheme is spot-on: dark- and olive-green on its upper body, tan underneath, and a splash of pink in its mouth Two pairs or ball joints connect the body sections, but the tail parts use just one pair, thus allowing it to whip around in all directions.LEGO® Creator 3in1 sets provide amazing fun and value as kids can build and create 3 different models in every box.
