Review:Circus Clown

Circus Clown (2 Reviews)
Theme	Minifigures     Series 1
Shop@Home Description:
“Honk honk!” Everything in life is a joke to the mirthful, merry and mischievous Circus Clown. Whenever things get too dull, up he pops with a banana cream pie to toss, a bottle of seltzer to spray, or a honk of his horn to brighten your day. You can always count on him to appear with a funny gag at just the right moment to lighten the mood. The Circus Clown is a master of physical comedy, and it’s a good thing, too – aside from a honk of his horn or his big red nose, he never makes a sound, even when doubled-over with laughter at his own silly antics!

I'm stuck for reviews, as things I think I should mention in a review are usually forgotten, but I'm bored, so I'll review a minifigure-the Circus Clown.

Box/Instructions

The minifigure comes sealed in a small yellow bag, just like all of the other Series 1 minifigures. There are two barcodes on the back, which made using Brickset's code difficult.

The instuctions are a flyer with a checklist with all sixteen minifigures on one side, and a diagram showing how to put together a minifigure on the other side. Like the packaging, the flyer was identical what was included with all series 1 minifigures.

Parts

There are six parts included, if I remember correctly. The exclusive red afro could be used for just about any clown, I guess, but not much else. The face, is nice, and kind of creepy (just like any clown should be), but can't be used for much else, like the hair. The torso, is again pretty specialized, but that's the price you pay with some of the more exclusive collectable minifigures. This is currently the only lime green torso I own. The pants probably could be used for something else, with their patched prints, but it still seems clown like with it's colors. The horn is exclusive, and good to have-not that I have much use for it. And lastly, is the black display stand, which I find very useful and is included with every other collectable minifigure.

Minifigure

Circus Clown

See parts, I guess. Really a nice minifigure we probably won't see in any actual sets.

The Build

All it is is a minifigure, I think we all know how to build one by heart and exactly what it's like, and if you don't, there's a diagram included.

The Completed Model

Again, a nice minifigure, not much good on its own though. Needs another minifigure to terrorize, a knife would be nice too (just kidding about that last part).

Summary

Again, a nice minifigure we probably won't see in any sets. I'd only recomend tracking one down if you either love or hate clowns (like I do). It was a pretty good value, money-wise: $2 for one figure (sometimes LEGO will sell five chinese-plastic minifigures together for $20 ($4 each)).

Overall:	4½ / 5

Best Collectable Minifigure in Series 1!!!

As this being my first Collectable Minifigure I have to say it is AWESOME! The new pieces, the amazing details, the awesome hair piece. Out of all of the Series 1 minifigures this one by far has to be the best. He comes with a new horn piece and hair piece that add to the amazingness of the minifigure.

On his head piece is a design of a clown face. It is very realistic to how an actual clown would look along with the other pieces. He also comes with a new spectacular hair piece that is made to look like an aphro and is very realistic to how one might look in real life.

His torso contains great detail with a very stylish lime green shirt and suspenders. The legs on him are opposites which is very unique to any LEGO Minifigure.

Quality

The quality of him is fairly good. Although it is made out of ABS plastic he is still high quality. If you get him he will most likely be stiff.

Value for Money

To get this minifigure for $1.99 from a LEGO store you definatly get an exclusive deal. You get all new amazing parts including two very exclusive ones.

Overall, I think this is a definate must have for every LEGO collecter. You get many amazing pieces for such a great price. Definatly five stars!
