The Brick Miser: Advent Calendar 2016: Mega Bloks Despicable Me: Day 22

Day 22: Unicorn













Well, today's a bit of an improvement from yesterday, since we have another "creature" model with this unicorn.













 ...Yeah, that one.













This one, as you can see, isn't as fluffy. ...But it does look like it's just skin and bones, so maybe this one did die...













It's built very similarly to the Reindeer, just with a horn on top of its head instead of antlers.













 And they built the legs better, giving it actual legs with pink hooves connected by these "L pipes" to the rest of the body. ...And they couldn't do this with the reindeer because...?













We have a slightly modified flame piece for the tail, just molded a solid pink with a handle to latch onto the claw piece. I like it. It shows that they can do more with their custom bricks.













Overall, this model is... ok. I can recognize what it is and it's built better than the reindeer, but, as I said, it's much thinner than the "fluffy" unicorn. If they used the bricks Lego used for their R2 character bodies, with small plugs inserted into the holes on the sides to make the legs fit, I think this would have looked better. Still, more thought than the Christmas Tree...
