I believe the children are our future.
December 11: Baby
This is a baby.
Rating
Fun ★★☆☆☆
Yes, babies. Uh…we all know and love them. It would be completely inappropriate for me to score this baby at zero to one stars, so I will actively demonstrate fun now:
Ease of Build ★★★★★
The baby has only two parts: a tiny head and a body that is shaped like a Chinese takeout box with arms. It was not a taxing build.
Comprehensibility ★★★☆☆
I had no idea that there were Lego babies. Lego babies have hands that look like they should be able to hold things, but they can’t. They’re actually partially filled in—I presume to make it more difficult to try to force them to grab the handlebars of a Scoot Scoot or wield a ski pole like an épée. They’re just not big enough, and might break if they tried to grip something of the ULHD (Universal Lego Handle Diameter).
That makes this baby also unable to hold its own bottle, which may be for the best because the bottle is enormous. When I first saw it, I thought it was supposed to be a novelty pewter stein, but then I realized that it was more of a sickly seafoam green than the sort of gray that would be used to imply cast metal. And also I realized that it was for a baby, and why would a baby have a stein? But then again, why would a baby bottle be the color of a sucked-on mint? Why would it be of a greater height than the baby itself? How could it rival the size of Snowshoe Guy’s Quarantaquattro Caramel Macchiato?
This baby is also wearing the same forest green sweater as the skier girl and dog, so I assume they’re related.
Extra Parts ☆☆☆☆☆
This came with no extra parts. Unless one was to consider the bottle and/or baby to be extraneous.
Overall ★★☆☆☆
I do like how happy the baby looks, and I’m happy for the baby.
