. Take Indy's Adventures into Your Own Hands
Based on the film, which pits Indiana Jones against agents of
the Soviet Union in the search for a crystal skull artifact, this
set provides a narrative to inspire imaginative play. In addition
to the mighty Jungle Cutter with its two gigantic, spinning
blades, this set includes a make-shift hideout camoued by
vines, trees that really break apart when the cutter plows
through them, and plenty of jungle spiders. The detailed Indiana
Jones figure comes complete with hat, whip, and bag, while
Colonel Dovchenko and two Russian Guard mini-figures provide a
threatening enemy presence. Plus there's plenty of cool features
to keep the set interesting. Just when it seems like Indy is
doomed, you can push the lever on the back of the Jungle Cutter
to pop the top pieces off and make it seem like Indy's rocket has
caused a catastrophic explosion. Or turn the gear on the hideout
to raise and lower the spider web.
Creating the Jungle Cutter
With eight bags containing 511 pieces and a colorful instruction
booklet, the Jungle Cutter took our eight-year-old tester about
three hours to construct. The process was challenging but not too
difficult, with colorful step-by-step illustrations showing the
way.
Overall, this set scores a fantastic rating for it's cool design
elements. The fact that the blades on the Jungle Cutter turn as
you roll the vehicle forward made it a huge hit. Another favorite
feature was the sliding door that opens to reveal treasure
stashed in a secret hiding place. And the battle between Indy and
the Russians is fun to enact in different ways (all of which seem
to end with a rocket blowing apart the Jungle Cutter).
Our tester really enjoyed the way the narrative of this set
allowed him to construct follow-up scenes based on another set
built around Indy's complicated escape from the Russians. As a
nice bonus, these storylines are developed enough to make the
sets fun whether your child has seen the new Indiana Jones movie
or not. We also appreciate the way that Lego systems never limit
imaginative play. All the cool hardware that makes up the Jungle
Cutter can be used to build any structure or vehicle your child
dreams up.
