I tested for you: 70904 Clayface Splat Attack

Here is a set from the The LEGO Batman Movie range that is probably going to many fans in the category "to buy possibly if my budget allows it" : The reference 70904 Clayface Splat Attack, with its 448 pieces, its dominant Medium Nougat (266 pieces), its two minifigs, one of which will be available in a slew of other boxes and its retail price set at 34.99 €, is not what we can call an attractive product.

No vehicle in this box, so you have to be content with a figurine to assemble about fifteen centimeters high and two minifigs.

Nothing complicated about the assembly of Clayface. The skeleton incorporating the articulation points is assembled in a few minutes. You must then be vigilant during the stacking phase of Round Plates 2x2 overlapping and overlapping. The whole is held up rather well on arrival, the joints allow a large number of poses and we can manipulate the character without everything coming loose.

For even more action and once you've lost the Round Plates 1x1 ejected by both Stud Shooters On board it is possible to replace one of the forearms with a hammer, again without demolishing everything.

Too bad that LEGO didn't make the effort to integrate a pair of hands like the ones that appear in the movie trailer. After all, Clayface can change shape at will, and this set should have been a perfect example of the modularity so easily converted into LEGO bricks. It's mean.

Very interesting detail that few reviews have mentioned, it suffices to reverse the two pad printed bricks representing the eyes of the character to change his expression. It's brilliant and it doesn't cost more. The Clayface head is adjustable but the amplitude is very limited. No stickers in this box.

On the minifig side, we forget Batman and focus on the other minifig of the set: Mayor McCaskill. This tanned female character will be embodied, vocally and in the original version of the film, by singer Mariah Carey. For now, this minifigure is exclusive to this box.

The blonde hair is beautiful and the shade difference between the face and the neckline is minimal. Minimum service for the lady's tailor: relatively generic design and no pad printing on the legs. Two facial expressions are provided, to help tailor the character's mood to the situation. I'm not sure this female character with no superpowers or background existing in the DC Comics universe will convince fans to spend $ 34.99 on this set unless her screen presence is important. To be confirmed next February.
