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

Product Information

This LEGO Creator 3in1 Crocodile (31121) playset will fuel kids’ creativity with 3 models in 1 – a Crocodile, snake and frog.

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 Look out for other great new-for-2021 LEGO® Creator 3in1 playsets: SpaceShuttle Adventure (31117), Ferris Wheel (31119) and Medieval Castle (31120). 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. 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. LEGO® Creator 3in1 sets provide amazing fun and value as kids can build and create 3 different models in every box.The frog is quite chunky and while the head and body look OK, the legs and feet look a bit clumsy. Their appearance is not helped by the prominent grey of the Mixel joints. Kids can have 3 times the fun as they choose to play with a scary Crocodile, a dangerous snake or a hungry frog.

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. The main model is excellent and in my opinion the best Creator animal to date. It's very realistic and looks for all the world like a baby crocodile when viewed from a distance. The alternate models are fun to build once, but not something you'd want to keep on display, so unlike some Creator 3-in-1 sets you'll most likely just need to buy one copy of this one. Will you need to buy three sets to display them all the animals at once, or will one be sufficient? 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. I particularly like the serpent's eyes, which are created using a yellow 3l bar with round 1x1 'polo' plates on the ends.With 454pieces, this LEGO® Creator 3in1 playset is the perfect gift for youngsters aged 7 and up who enjoy rewarding building tasks. Each impressive LEGO® wild animal toy is accompanied by a smaller animal for added fun – a bird toy with the Crocodile, a mouse toy with the snake and a fly toy with the frog.
