Let’s take a closer look at the Remote Controlled Mantis. Pics are from figures.com. I cropped and color corrected fro clarity.

The boxed shot as seen on the shelf at NTYF 2014.

Same shot with the perspective fixed.
The box says 85 pieces. If you can’t by the pics, many of the pieces are special molded parts. So this isn’t a true fully blok piece set. Does that matter though? Not to me! With lights and sounds, new articulated figure, launching rockets, etc., this sets seems ready to be a success!

As you can tell, it towers over the minifies. So what can we expect to pay for this? That’s a tough call as the piece count isn’t reflective of the price with this set. Considering the electronics involved, I’d make a guess at $50. Hopefully we’ll get an answer from Mega Brands soon.

One last cool thing is that the controller for this looks much like an XBOX controller.

So might you be getting this?
