BRICKKK Pantasy Astro Boy Awakening Moment Kit, Mechanical Repair Platform Construction Kit for Adults, Astro Boy Collectible and Exhibition Model for Home or Office

Product Information

Pantasy has once again simplified an existing set and made it more fitting for the western market. Unlike its predecessor, the Paladin · 90s PC Game, the Retro 90s PC no longer includes video game scenes and therefore does not contain any minifigures that could potentially cause legal issues.

The set contains a large number of gold-sprayed parts, the finished product is about 30cm, with high quality, suitable for display and collection;The building techniques aren’t unusal, only the way in which the wedge plates are built with tiles for the floor to ensure a slope are interesting. Furniture can be fun!

Although the left and right structures are asymmetrical, it can be seen that the roundness of the assembled head is well processed, and the overall effect is good. This is exactly the kind of set that Lego would have marketed as „ 18+ Expert Professional„, but even a talented beginner with ambitions can build it. Bear in mind with sets from China: Use your brain. You need it, not like newer building instructions from Lego.The body part does not have too many special structures except the hose, so the body is very stable after completion. It is worth mentioning that more than half of the perspective parts of this Astro Boy perspective mecha are sprayed gold parts, and the metal paint is sprayed very uniformly and the texture is first-rate. Astro Boy See-through Mech Assembly process

At no point was I bored, even though the building techniques aren’t challenging a skilled builder. The building instruction isn’t a thin booklet, but it’s ain’t a phone book for a megacity – or a subsidy for the paper industry. Building steps with two pieces are rare, but it alternates sometimes. Lego would probably needed 290 building steps or more compared to Pantasy. The little robot with 7 special abilities, smart, brave, and righteous, became the little hero in everyone’s hearts at that time. It is precisely because of this popularity that Astro Boy is favored by many trendy game manufacturers. The picture above is the Astro Boy machine perspective mecha released by TOKYO TOYS in 2019.

The keyboard has been provided with Latin characters and it has a proper computer interior, similar to the X IGAME Gaming Desktop. However, I miss the hard drive, which was usually mandatory in PCs of those years. The clutch power is just right, basically on the Klahold scale at 0.8 Cobi or 8 Sluban and slightly over Lego.They’re well bond and tight – very excellent.

Assembling begins with Astro Boy’s body part. You can see that the arms, legs, and head are all reserved links, because the head is heavier, so the long cross axis is reserved, and the arms and legs are all small spherical links. To be honest, it’s the first attempt to provide a proper translation by my own, as I’ve recognized that I got a lot of readers abroad Germany. Thus, this won’t be a translation by machine, it’s my own work, probably with grammar issues or wrong used words. Without further ado, let’s get right to the 221B Baker Street from Pantasy in English!

Many brands and manufacturers (Xingbao for example and especially sets of Lego clones from different brands) often suffer from color similarities such as yellow <-> tan, dark bluish gray <-> sand blue and often also dark red and reddish brown. In this case, with this Pantasy set, I noticed in step 141 that I was missing a 1 × 2 plate in Reddish Brown. How to solve missing/wrong parts: In fact, it can be seen from the steps of the body that the internal structure is not completely symmetrical. If one day sales to the West take place in larger numbers, English will certainly follow as another additional language in the instructions for the West – or even replacing Chinese.Xingbao did a similar thing, sets in 2019 were still available in Chinese. With increasing popularity in the West later, sets for our western market were only offered with English descriptions.Mark my words: Pantasy will follow them in the next three to five years. The assembly workload of the two arms is relatively small. Among them, the robotic arm can move almost all joints including the fingers, and the other arm can only move the wrist, but the fist is very similar.
