And in the theme of the Present we got a few days ago, today, we have a Christmas Stocking.
...Well, it's a stocking, alright. It's foot-shaped, it's red, and it has some white trim around the top. It's probably the most two-dimensional shape we've seen so far as well, since it's built out of 5 5>x1 bricks.
What I like about it is that they included the Gru logo on it, which is also what the Minions have on their pants in the movies(but which the figures strangely lack...) Nice bit of detail there.
But what ruins it for me is that on the box, it's hanging by the fireplace. ...Which you can't do here! ...It wouldn't have been too hard to do! Just put a headlight brick on the edge of the fireplace and a socket brick on the stocking, and you get a neat feature that would show a lot of thought with a little effort!
So, sorry, once again, we have another one that I don't like. Not because the design was bad, but just due to the easily fixable lack of creativity here. It probably would have cost the same amount to switch the bricks, so the fact they didn't make it so the stocking would hang on the fireplace is disappointing to say the least...
But, hey, I guess we were due for a bad one with all the praise I've been heaping on the others. ...As long as they don't make it a trend...
