![]() ![]() Though a little surprising due to the insane popularity of Ninjago in the west, I think some good points were made about how much of Ninjago is influenced by Japanese/Eastern culture, so Christian mythology/tradition would feel a little out of place. I still geek over how awesome the elemental nya figure is. These new Ninjago sets are alright the new baby dragon piece being the most exciting part of the whole ordeal. it was funny to see fans had a similar reaction to the Crystalized series which I did not watch. Regrets aside Seabound was amazing and I ended up not being super excited about Crystalized as the sets and figures looked too uniform and uninspired to me. ![]() I loved the Seabound sets Wish I got the Temple last year and waited to get the Water Dragon at a later date, as I bought the Dragon last 2022 thinking it was gonna retire "and if I can get only 1 seaboard set it would be the dragon" not knowing the Temple was a better investment as it ended up being the set that retired late 2022 and the Water Dragon remained available throughout this year. Overall a great use of parts and figures and one of the best sets I've made in a while. The build process was quick! But nothing felt missing or incomplete. The interior fits 4 figs and the 2 subs can fit inside the Bounty so all 6 Ninja can ride at the same time and that is so cool to me. The mech at front integrates well with the ship but also has a great transforming feature its actually very "Transformers" in my mind Just be careful with the Dragon/Snake builds on the side they can pop out of place with too much pressure Placing those golden tubes on each side of the body of the submarine was fun. ![]() The symmetry of the build is so satisfying. 3 Ninja even came with hair pieces in addition to the hood!! The Ninja hood not being molded into the scuba gear was genius so characters can swap between diving while masked or with their hair out. Love that it goes over the hips and under the head piece it feels really well integrated into the existing figure anatomy. Not too worried about accuracy to the show, the new (to last year and to me anyways) scuba gear piece is so much fun to interact with. All 6 Ninja in scuba gear!?! Plus 2 Wu Droids, 2 antagonists and this feels like the one of the most satisfying figure rosters ever. So I scooped up this set last minutes and want to share some thoughts about this beauty. It's been retired if not soon to be gone as this is the time of year the Seabound sets were scheduled to be phased out. Awkward timing maybe but I finished building the Hydro Bounty recently and wanted to post some thoughts. ![]()
