Catcycle Lego

So why not start with a review of something that hits 2 sweet spots at once? !
Yes , that's LEGO and BATMAN ! Bonus !

With some of my Christmas money I treated myself to this little beauty

This is set 6858 'Catwoman Catcycle City Chase', part of the new Lego 'Super Heroes' Line , which brances out from just Batman to include some other DC characters. At the cheaper end of the line ( at £11.99) I was well pleased to get Catwoman in the bargain !
So the box itself is standard Lego style, perforated thumb spot to open it which saves ruining the nice packaging.

When put together you get this -

Features include :
Catwoman on Catcycle with 'Gem' and whip
Batman with Batarang and Jetpack
5 boxes
Street corner with Newspaper stand and 2 Newspapers
Traffic light

Ok then, the good points !

Both minifigs have 2 facial expressions which makes them great for action poses etc
Costumes are nicely detailed
The newspapers have an actual story printed on them, which is a nice touch


And a couple of 'constructive criticisms' , lol

When Batman has no cowl on he looks like he is wearing a white headband which is a bit of a shame as his eyes would work fine under the mask anyway
Batmans Jetpack is a little heavy so he doesn't stand well if not on a brick
There is very little area to 'click' the minifigs feet onto
The traffic light is not 4 sided

Overall I like this set a lot, for £12 it comes with lots of good pieces and makes a great display. Definatley one to get if you have the space.Have a look for youself and give me some feedback !
