We're back in the Victorian era with classic horror story characters. The monster fighters, a collection of historical explorer and hero types, must stop the monsters.
The monsters are trying to collect all six moonstones and place them in their spots on the Vampyre castle - this will eclipse the sun forever! Uh oh.
The monster fighters enter the monster realm to try and stop them.
I have to admit when I first heard about the Monster Fighters range I ignored it. I thought it would be imaginary monsters with action hero types. Something kids might enjoy, but nothing special. But now I've got a glimpse of the actual range I'm impressed.
I love that Lego have drawn on classic monsters from books and early horror movies, and that they've taken the action heroes from a different time as well. It looks like great fun.
We're going to have a brilliant Lego Halloween in 2012!
The monster fighters look amazing! They seem to be partly based on the old Lego adventurers theme which was set in the time of the great explorers with bowler hats, pith helmets and monocles. (This was a very cool pre-Indiana Jones theme Lego range.) There seems to be some Steampunk body parts going on there too. Very neat.
