Wow, the New Mombasa Police Department (NMPD) is being well represented this year. It’s the first time we’ve had any sets for the NMPS and we get THREE of them! Pics are from figures.com. I’ve cropped and color corrected them for clarity.<\/p>\n

First up the NMPD Cyclops:<\/span><\/strong>\"NMPD
\n<\/a><\/em>This is a pretty nifty little set. I like the colors of it. Cool that it uses the crowd control shield that the Mega Bloks COD line uses. And YES, we get an NMPD Police trooper.<\/p>\n

\"NMPD<\/a>A close up of the shot reveals better detail on the mini figure. The NMPD seal on the head and chest as well as “POLICE” on the chest really makes this figure stand out.<\/p>\n

\"NMPD
\n<\/a>Here it is as it is being displayed among the other sets at NYTF 2014.<\/p>\n

This set comes in at 55 pieces. The other Cyclops sets that have come before were at a price range of about $15-17 depending on where you got it from. So I expect this one to be about the same as well.<\/p>\n

Next the NMPD Police Car:<\/strong><\/span>
\n\"NMPD<\/a>
\nA very cool looking little car. Many of the cars in Halo 3 ODST took this shape, but none stood out as much as the NMPD Police car. This set chimes in at 235 pieces. With the NMPD Officer and Brute Chieftan added to the set, I can see this being marked at between $23-26. I love how Mega went with the VISR mode on the Chieftan. That’s the red outline markings in case you didn’t know.<\/p>\n

\"NMPD<\/a>Here is the set as display at NYTF with the other sets.\"NMPD<\/a><\/p>\n

And yes, it opens up to insert the officer to drive in.<\/p>\n

Now I wonder since it’s displayed with the Helmet figure, yet shows the hat wearing figure on the box, will we get two heads for the mini fig so we can choose how to play\/display it?<\/p>\n

The third of the NMPD sets, the NMPD Hornet:<\/strong><\/span>
\n\"NMPD<\/a>
\nThe boxed shot.<\/p>\n

\"NMPD<\/a>Same shot but with fixed perspective. We can see that it has 400+ pieces to it. It comes with a NMPD trooper and pilot. Man, I’m really loving this NMPD subline! This uses the new style Hornet build also seen in the Hornet Vs Vampire set (of which I’ll have a toy review on the blog in a couple of days!).<\/p>\n

\"NMPD<\/a>A fuzzy but out of the box shot of the NMPD Hornet. WOOT!
\n<\/a><\/p>\n

So are you looking forward to the NMPD sets? I know I am!!!<\/p>\n
