Review: The LEGO Movie 2 70827 Ultrakatty and Warrior Lucy!

Today we quickly tour the The LEGO Movie 2 set 70827 Ultrakatty and Warrior Lucy! (348 pieces - 29.99 €), a small box which features the multicolored unicorn in a (really) edgy version.

Obviously, this 300 piece figure offers much more interesting playability than the usual versions of Unikitty, Angrykittty or Machinkitty which are content with a few stacked pieces.

But it can also quickly become very annoying with its many joints and moving parts that don't want to stay in place. When the desired position is achieved by orienting Ultrakatty's limbs, head and tail, the figure can be displayed in a diorama. Playing with it is a bit more complicated.

The head, tail and the top of the legs are held in place by Ball Seals which make these elements easily orientable and with precision. The lower legs, less plush, are more difficult to handle and it is not uncommon for some parts to come off. It's annoying, but we'll make do with it.

The same goes for the collar made from brown sabers or the two horns attached to the creature's helmet, which are simply clipped onto their support and come off from time to time if you are not careful.

You need to stick some stickers on the creature's body for the armor, but the four pieces with orange flames on a red background used for the legs are pad printed. Too bad the large brown pieces placed on the top of the legs are not decorated.

LEGO is providing three different faces for Ultrakatty, pad printed on a new 5 stud piece, to be replaced to change the unicorn's expression. The exchange is not instantaneous, you have to dismantle a few parts to access the one that needs to be replaced.

These three pieces are only pad printed on one side, a double-sided printing could perhaps have allowed to have an alternative face without having to look everywhere for the replacement brick.

In the example below, I have chosen to disassemble the headdress of the figurine to replace the face, but you can also go through the bottom of the face by removing the two yellow pieces using a brick separator (not supplied in this set).

In the box, LEGO delivers (again) Emmet and Lucy Wyldstyle (Cool-Tag) as well as a brick-based Alien DUPLO System identical in construction to the one seen in the set 70823 Emmet's Thricycle!. Difficult to do otherwise, the scene in question here does not include other main characters of the cast.

Even if the reproduction of the DUPLO format using bricks System is interesting, I still wonder if LEGO might not have done better to put some real DUPLO bricks directly into these boxes, just to be really in the spirit of the beginning of the film.

If you plan to combine the contents of this box with that of the set 70829 Emmet & Lucy's Escape Buggy (instructions to download at this address), you will therefore have two copies of Emmet and Lucy, two crossbows and two (NEVER) STOP signs. You will have the right to lose one copy of each.

In short, I want to be indulgent with this little box which features my favorite character from the second part of The LEGO Movie saga. By applying, it is possible to find really nice postures to stage this pretty figurine and you can even use it to indicate your current mood to your loved ones thanks to the different expressions provided.

Collectors addicted to the character of Unikitty (I know there are) will not be able to ignore this version anyway.

The rest of the contents of this small box do not justify paying this set at a high price (29.99 €) and amazon fortunately already offers it at a much more reasonable price:
