The dad is an avid photographer, and has brought his DSLR with a flash to the Ice Festival to take some happy snaps.
The other Ice Planet torso is worn by the elderly fisherman who's paired it up with a fur-lined hat. He also sports a new torso, which has little tassles across it, and new legs which have tiger stripes printed. I’m not exactly sure what his outfit is, and it looks like some sort of poncho of sorts. Keepability [3] – Unless you integrate this to your Winter Village, I can see this one being dismantled and harvested for parts when there’s a need to free up space. Right outside the equipment rental shop is Commander Cold, doing some ice fishing. He’s made himself a neat little hole in the ice, and has caught a large orange fish.That said, outside of the frozen lake, there isn’t anything that made me go WOW with the set. While I think this would be an incredible addition to your LEGO Winter Village because of the wintery theme, it doesn’t really scream Chinese New Year to me (unless you’re from the Harbin region) and the International Snow and Ice Festival is a regular tradition. The 13 minifigures really make a massive difference in bringing the set to life, filling out the empty spaces where there aren’t any objects, and also creates plenty of play potential. It makes excellent use of all that space to create a bustling and lively winter scene, with a large ice skating rink the centerpiece of the build. For extra storage, there’s also a really clever drawer that you can open to store more equipment beneath the floor!
Either way, it’s fantastic to see LEGO finally give Ice Planet some long-overdue love – and it couldn’t be a more perfect set than this. The Friends penguin, used for an ice sculpture, looks like it's been cast in Transparent Blue Opal, colour 366, then newest colour in our database. However, the inventory suggests it's actually regular transparent light blue which has been painted with a glittery shimmer on the front.Every feature in this set has been considered from a lighting perspective, including lighting up the shop door lanterns, illuminated ice sculpture, as well as spotlights for the photo frame and strip lighting for the ice skating area. Watch the ice sculpture lights twinkle with our custom effects board. This female vendor, who also has a new hairpiece, is selling... actually I'm not sure quite what! Chocolate candy-floss? The ice arch takes centre stage in the set, and it looks spectacular, not least because it's rare to see so many transparent parts in sets nowadays, which of course includes all the aforementioned new ones. For an experiment, put three windscreens of the new type lined up behind one another on a baseplate and try to see through them then.
