Create Your Own Member of the Lego Hero Recon Team (GeekDad Weekly Rewind)

01.01.70

Lego has a lot to proffer kids and grown-ups in the put-stuff-together genre of toys. Kits, models, playsets, and even interchangeable minifig parts have off the mark appeal. For kids who like playing with things like activity figures, however, there is a relatively new toy available: The Lego Hero Recon Troupe.

The Lego Hero Recon Team is a part of Lego presented by Lego Cabal byME. It is an interesting toy that you special order, impost designed to your specifications. To get your own Hero, visit the website and object your own. (See Kathy’s son’s GeekTeen commentary from last May.) Start with the basic skeleton and add body armor, a helmet, tools, cladding, and accessories. There are 35 various elements that can be added, though you can add as many or as few as you like, though a few of the element locations seem to basic to be filled to allow you to move to the next design stage. As elements are chosen, they look on the virtual model of your Hero, so you can see your design expand.
