6857 The Dynamic Duo Funhouse Escape is a Super Heroes set released on December 15th, 2011, as part of the DC Universe subtheme. It includes the minifigures Batman, Robin, Harley Quinn, The Joker, and The Riddler. It also includes a comic book.
Description
The main feature of the set is the "evil" funhouse. The funhouse is built on a dark tan base with black stairs going up from the right side. On the left side of the base is a green ticket booth machine with a Riddler mannequin on the inside. Above the ticket booth machine, on the second floor is a rollercoaster track where when Harley Quinn's cart is pushed down, bursts through a splitting picture of The Joker at the end. Back on the ground floor, inbetween the fortune-telling machine and the staircase is a large brown arch with red pillers for support. The staircase leads up to an area behind a fence wear there is green wall in the back reading DANGER AHEAD with various question marks and arrows pointing downwards at a trap door. Another red pillar along with the green wall holds up an even higher platform with a winch coloured white and green with green and purple lights in the front. The purpose of the winch is to lower a captured Robin down into a purple barrel of fish and green studs. Next to the roller coaster entrance is a swinging hammer. Between the hammer and trap door, the floor raises a little to give way for a red and black checkerboard platform for The Joker. When a knob in the back is pulled, it will move and launch Joker. Above this area is another brown arch with a large picture of The Joker's head at the top. The funhouse is mostly coloured with Harley Quinn's red/black colourscheme, but also has Riddler and Joker's purple and green (and white in Joker's case) worked in. Grey, brown, and dark tan are also used in different areas for roller coaster tracks, arches, a base, and such.
The set also includes a batcycle for Batman to ride, which is two wheels using a few Technic elements to give it an area for Batman to sit, a fin in the back, and handelbars to control it.
Background
The scene depicted in the set is not based on any particular scene from the Batman franchise. However, the set description suggests that The Riddler has teamed up with The Joker and Harley Quinn and captured Robin. Batman uses the a batcycle to reach their funhouse and rescue Robin from being lowered into a barrel of fish, possibly a reference to Joker's laughing fish from Batman: The Animated Series.
Notes
- The box art of 6857 shows it includes the earlier variant of The Riddler's head and the new variation, but the set actually includes two of the newer heads.
- This is the second Super Heroes set to include Batman and Robin in the same set, the other being 6860 The Batcave.
- This set includes a second batcycle that is very different from the one included in 6860 The Batcave. Harley Quinn, Batman, and a Batcycle were also included in 7886 The Batcycle: Harley Quinn's Hammer Truck.
- The Joker is the only DC Universe villain as of yet to be included in two Super Heroes sets, the other being 6863 Batwing Battle Over Gotham City.
- In the comic book included Robin's hair is Part 62810 rather than the hair he has in the set.
- This is so far the only DC Universe, Batman (Theme) based set in the Super Heroes line that is not a remake from the previous Batman (Theme).
- This set is a Toys "R" Us exclusive.
