Moment of honesty - I bought this set purely because I wanted that Rubber Duckie boat. Honestly, how can any sane adult resist the lure of that?
I am so glad I got this set as even though it is a 4+ kit it is beautifully detailed. For some reason my brain equates these sets with large pieces and not much detailing - yeah, I was WRONG (anyone taking notes - mark this moment it doesn't happen often...lol).
The Batboat itself looks great and despite using few pieces to get a minifigure scale vehicle it has lots of lovely details packed in there. I particularly like the fin/wing pieces on the back end; they just elevate the look from "Oh, it's a Batman vehicle" to "Oooooooo, look a Batboat".
The Rubber Duck Boat did not disappoint and it makes me incredibly happy to look at it. So much so I am thinking of relocating the finished set so I can see it whilst working - definitely need that mood boost some days.
The minifigure prints are actually pretty good. I am old enough to remember when minifigures were first introduced and I can hardly believe how far they have come in the past 45(ish) years. The Penguin and Batman are certainly exponents of the lots of detail that enhance the overall feel of the set.
Honestly, as a kit aimed at the first real Lego build market for little fingers this is an incredible set and will enhance any collection. Don't be put off by the 4+ tag, yes it means it is a quick build but it is a worthwhile one.
