Vær vores gæst i vores detaljerede anmeldelse af den helt nye LEGO Disney 43263 Skønheden og Udyret Slot.
Belle and the Beast inviterer dig til bals, middage og hyggelige aftener i biblioteket i 43263 Beauty and the Beast Castle. Den består af næsten 3,000 stykker og fanger ethvert skævt tårn og hvælvede lofter på det ikoniske slot fra den animerede film fra 1991, og den kommer også med en ret omfattende rollebesætning. Det har alle forudsætningerne for et fantastisk sæt – men hvordan klarer 43263 Beauty and the Beast Castle sig egentlig, når den er bygget?

En mægtig bygning, der formår at føles lille
While being an 18+ set – and there's certainly enough complex building techniques to warrant the tag – 43263 Beauty and the Beast Castle also manages to feel approachable from the very beginning. You build each room in sections and slide them together seamlessly, meaning that it's quite an easy build to break down into parts and take your time with, maintaining stability throughout the process.
Det giver også byggeudfordringer parret med ligetil sektioner, måske at lave en god gateway-bygning for en teenager som deres første 18+-sæt eller for en erfaren bygmester, der vil have detaljerne i en kompleks model uden for mange hovedpine undervejs.
Med en masse interaktive funktioner (mere om det senere) pakket ind i 43263 Beauty and the Beast Castle, er der nogle spændende byggeteknikker til at holde dig interesseret undervejs, lige fra splat-gearene under balsalen, så Beauty and the Beast kan snurre væk til forskellige måder at bygge hvert eneste tårn på, så sættet med 3,000 dele føles aldrig kedeligt.
Skønhed ved navn, skønhed af natur
Den tilfredsstillende byggeproces bliver endnu mere givende af, hvor godt 43263 Beauty and the Beast Castle ser ud, når den er færdig. Der er tonsvis af detaljer pakket ind og klare hensyn til at balancere leg med display. Tag vinduerne som et eksempel: Balsalen, som står åben med højt til loftet og plads nok til en delikat designet lysekrone, har gennemsigtige vinduer, så du kan se minifigurer danse indenfor.
The lavender tower next to it gives the impression of having rooms inside using printed stained glass windows, making the interior look bigger when you can only see the facade. It's a small detail but 43263 Beauty and the Beast Castle is all about the small details, paying attention to where every brick is placed.
If anything, it's only a shame that you can't see more of it. While the bottom floor pulls out to allow you to arrange the grand staircase as you please, the upper floors don't, meaning you can't quite see everything you've built. Chef Bouche, for example, is placed within the dining room, behind the table where 'Be Our Guest' is performed and is very hard to see without ripping everything off the table – a tricky task thanks to the gear elements that help them spin.
Could every floor have pulled out for greater accessibility? Perhaps, but it's a minor quibble and one that we're only after because the design is so impressive throughout.
Let's dance
As well as those design details, there are plenty of interactive features too, from the splat gears that send the ballroom floor twirling so Beauty and the Beast can dance the night away, to clever mechanisms to hide Belle's spare legs to sit down and Beast's human hair. Armoire the Wardrobe swings open for Belle's alternate legs, while a slide-out element in the roof offers a place to hide whichever princely head you're not using.
It's a small but welcome detail to make sure you don't have any extra pieces floating about that could get lost or look messy on display. There's also clever identification of the two best songs from the movie – the titular 'Beauty and the Beast' and 'Be Our Guest' – and ways to recreate both of them. The spinning ballroom achieves the former and the food and plates on the dining table can spin to recreate the latter.
43263 Beauty and the Beast Castle is clearly made by fans of the movie, for fans of the movie, expertly identifying what people most want to see and skating over the elements that don't play as crucial of a role. Belle and the Beast don't have bedrooms, for example, but that's a worthy price to pay for the level of detail attributed to the rooms we do get.
Farverige karakterer stjæler rampelyset
Last but certainly not least, we come to the characters included in the set. There's virtually no one missing, aside from some background servant-furniture characters, with five minifigures and five brick-built characters – plus two more that remain in place within the set, Chef Bouche and Armoire. The design of the printed elements for all the servants is incredibly true to life, with no stickers used for their creation.
Det er også en fornøjelse at se Gaston og LeFou, som forståeligt nok kunne være blevet udeladt, men hvis inkludering betyder, at man kan genskabe endnu flere scener fra filmen, inklusive den afgørende slutscene.
The only slight quibble would be that the Beast is not overly beastly. in the movie, he towers over even the muscled Gaston and, although the tail element adds a little height, he doesn't seem that much taller than even Belle when you look at him in a line-up. It makes for a more cohesive look with the other characters but it would have been fun to have a big-fig Beast to really make the change from beast to prince more dramatic.
Når det er sagt, kombineres minifigurerne og den klodsbyggede figur, så du virkelig føler, at du har alle de velkendte ansigter fra filmen, hvilket gør 43263 Skønheden og Udyret-slottet til et must-have for fans af filmen, både gamle og nye.
Ærlig mening: Hvis den eneste kritik af en LEGO sæt er, at du gerne vil kunne se mere af det, så har 43263 Beauty and the Beast Castle gjort et ret godt stykke arbejde.
