First of all I have not downloaded the Vidiyo App and I am actually not likely to. I know that is what they are designed for but I will admit I got these more for the Minifigures than for any interest in making music videos through the App. This does make the set seem expensive, however, if you are going to be using the Vidiyo App then you have to factor in the actual licensing costs to Universal and their Artists that make the App possible by uploading their back catalogue on there.
The 16 included beatbit tiles are well printed and come in a variety of colours so you can change them out based on the image on the front or their colour. Alternatively you can use them for what they are meant for - special actions within the App. Personally I think they will be a great resource for MOcs, particularly wall art or for using as book covers or vinyl album covers.
Beyond that the set is actually pretty fun.
You get two highly detailed minifigures with the set - a ballerina and blue bear that I am pretty sure is based off gummy bears. They are both really cute and different to any of the existing characters within the Vidiyo range. There is also a small "stand" that takes one character and that you can add the beatbit tiles too for use in the app. Not too sure why they didn't incorporate tile locations within the stage to be honest as surely the whole point is to use your scene within the app and have it populate your videos.
The stage itself is a lot of fun but somehow it just feels like there is a little something missing on it, hence the 4 star review. There are two sides to the stage and some sections spin round so you can change the scene depending on your mood or music choice. The front is the tru Candy Castle with a little yellow mouse as the topper. The reverse has a chocolate-fall and has a brown bear face as the icon. You can spin the icon box at the top to mix and match them though.
Overall a fun build that does look good on display but if you don;t have the app the play value is limited.
