Frosticons (Mixels: series 5)

frosticons_2

I’m enjoying the fact that Lego is revisiting some of the earlier tribes in this year’s Mixels. I can’t say that the Frosticons were one of my favorite tribes the first time around, but I am enjoying this new trio of blue monsters.

Here’s a friendly looking guy with a big mouth and a lot of medium azure. Let’s get started with Krog.

A lot more blue there than it looked like from the picture. Otherwise, no surprises.

Krog looks pretty good all put together. His legs seem a bit short and feet much too long, but I love the medium azure robot arms.

Next up is Chilbo (I keep wanting to call him Chillbro). This guy has some serious eyebrows!

Nothing too interesting here.

I like this guy’s attitude. Assembled he looks like an angry little monster. The tuft of ice crystals on his head looks great too.

41541_bag

Snoof is the oddball of this trio. He looks like some kind of goofy jet-sled cyclops!

Fewer, but larger, elements in this one. It’s going to be fun finding a use for all of these bows.

Put together, he seems awkward. He rocks on the inverted bows and his neck (you can’t really see it here) is a completely undecorated length of mixel ball joints. Some strange design choices here and I can’t say that they’re working for me.

So, eyebrow guy is definitely my favorite and otherwise these aren’t too exciting. I do enjoy the colors, so they’ll make decent parts packs once they go on sale in a couple of months.

As lackluster as the basic models were, their Max is great! He’s a beefy looking dude with flick missiles that fire out of the palms of his hands. This guy alone redeems the tribe for me.

Keep building and enjoy!
