It’s been ages since I’ve done a Mixels trio review, so I decided to grab a set of three. Series 4 has some pretty nice ones, with the Orbitrons and the Infernites joining the Glowkies. I couldn’t get a whole set of the Orbitrons or Infernites in one hit, so I decided to go with the Glowkies, and I was glad I did. There are some very nice elements included.
Parts & Minifigures
The Glowkies are all about the glow in the dark parts, and dark blue. These are a very nice addition to my growing collection. Globert brings three new parts to the range – the black round printed tile and the glow dish that make up his eye, and the little dragon wings in dark blue. Vampos has a few nice additions too, including the glowing eyes, the wings, the big teeth, and the double handled 1×2 plate. Lastly, we have Boogly. The glowing single eyed miniifigure head is great. I can see it appearing in some MOCs in the near future! The two black legs are also great, as well as the little fang teeth. While these are far from new, it’s the first time I’ve seen them.
As is normal with Mixels, there are a plethora of ball and cup joints to keep us all busy!
