Review: LEGO Creator 3-in-1 40562 Mystic Witch

As promised, today we are quickly interested in the contents of the LEGO Creator 3-in-1 set 40562 Mystic Witch, a promotional product that will be offered on the official online store and in LEGO Stores from October 14 to 31, 2022 from €100 without range restrictions.

LEGO therefore offers us a seasonal product around the Halloween holidays with the added bonus of the possibility of building something other than the witch: the product inventory, 257 pieces, makes it possible to assemble two alternative constructions as it always is. the case in the aptly named LEGO Creator 3-in-1 range, here a cat and a dragon both wearing the same hat as the main construction of the set. We therefore understand that these are three versions of the same witch, including two where she "transforms" into various and varied creatures.

Again, I think LEGO is getting a bit carried away with its 3-in-1 set concept that promises us two alternative builds: both models only reuse a small portion of the product's inventory ( see photos below) and we end up for each of the two other models offered with a large quantity of unused parts which is a bit of a stain.

The witch is rather amusing and she offers some interesting construction techniques such as the level of the skirt or the bust, but the finish of the figurine is really basic. The back of the build is desperately flat when it would have taken just a few pieces to give the character's torso and head some volume.

The arms and hands of the witch are also very simplified, it's a bit disappointing. The cat is just acceptable with the flat back of its head and only the dragon remains to find favor in my eyes despite a head that is also flat at the back. Special mention all the same for the broom with its twisted handle and its bush at the end. I would have rather seen the same piece in beige but it will have to be done with this green broom.

We are therefore not going to gargle on the level of the constructions proposed, they will largely do the trick within a festive decoration based on pumpkins and other cobwebs but there is nothing to cry genius here creative. Be careful, if you don't already know, it is not possible to assemble the three models at the same time, you have to disassemble one to assemble another.

We can't blame this year on LEGO for its lack of inspiration for Halloween parties, even if the finish of the product remains really very basic. There is still enough to keep the youngest busy, that's the main thing. It will therefore be up to you to see if the offer which will allow you to obtain this small box from 100 € of purchase is sufficiently attractive to encourage you to spend your money on the official store.

Note: The set presented here, provided by LEGO, is as usual involved. Deadline fixed at 21th October, 2022 next at 23:59 p.m. Just post a comment under the article to participate.
