It’s over to our pals at Brick Set for their latest LEGO review, this time focusing on 75112 General Grievous.
The largest of the six Star Wars Battle Figures is also the best in my opinion: 75112 General Grievous. I was delighted with this figure when images were first revealed and it is even more impressive in person, measuring over 30cm in height, even when hunched over!
The skeletal appearance of the general is eminently suited to CCBS construction, so it is not at all surprising that he was chosen as one of the first characters to be recreated in this form. I think the combination of dark ball joint elements and tan panels looks absolutely fantastic, with an impressive level of accuracy considering the fact that only one new piece was created for this figure: Grievous’ unique mask. It almost goes without saying that the mask looks absolutely brilliant as well.
Since he is the largest Battle Figure yet released, in terms of piece count and size, it is only to be expected that 75112 General Grievous is also the most expensive. The set is priced at £29.99 or $34.99, a very reasonable cost given the sheer weight and quality of the model, which is tall enough to dominate just about any Star Wars or Constraction display.
