Star Wars General Grievous Lego
Lego Star Wars Review 2010: Set 8095 General Grievous’ Starfighter
When Lego releases the second wave of Star Wars toys for 2010 much attention will be paid to the redesigned minifigure of General Grievous who comes with his redesigned starfighter in set 8095. Grievous was featured in only one of the Star Wars films, Episode Three Revenge Of The Sith where his bad guy turn was overshadowed by the real bad guys, Darth Vader and Darth Sidious.
When George Lucas put together The Clone Wars animated television series however, Grievous became the primary antagonist and his ruthless reputation grew with the killing of Kit Fisto’s former apprentice Mon Calamari Jedi Knight Nahdar Vebb in the Season One episode entitled The Lair Of Grievous. Nahdar is also featured in the set, as is the droid EV-A4-D.
Lego originally released Grievous as a figure to accompany the first release of his starfighter in 2007 but it was maligned by fans as possibly the worst minifigure design of the Star Wars Lego universe. Hoping to regain a little credibility, Lego has altered the design completely and the new version is much improved. Grievous is instantly recognisable as his Clone Wars version and thankfully comes with specially sculpted pieces and printing on his head.
The new starfighter design is also an improvement. There are pop out missiles on the side of the ship and a more accurate windscreen piece. A well the design is more colourful, though not so as it detracts from the overall accuracy of the ship. It’s quite sturdy and swooshable, an enjoyable build and play for fans over eight years.
The set comes with 454 pieces, the three minifigures and a whole heap of chrome handled lightsabers for Grievous to wield. As Grevious is a fairly specialised figure that I doubt will appear in a magnet set anytime soon, chances are this set will attract alot of love from fans because of the minifig appeal.
