Brickset Reviews

"Sets like LEGO Creator 3-in-1 31154 Forest Animals: Red Fox don't come along all that often. All three models have both play and display potential, to such a degree that I'm still split between the fox and the owl as to …"

Minifigures & Standout Parts

Standout parts (per reviewers)

Overlapping tiles, plates, and rock plates
Used extensively to create tufty fur texture and feather detailing across all three models
Ball joints (grey shades)
Used for articulation at ankles, tail, neck, hips, and leg joints; reviewer notes they 'unfortunately take away a little from the overall effect' due to lack of color options
Printed round tile
Tops the tree stump scenery piece
Ball-and-socket joints
Used throughout the set to create natural angles and pose-ability, with consistent coverage by surrounding bricks to make the design feel seamless while allowing articulation. Featured prominently in the fox's neck, squirrel's tail, and fox's tail.
Slopes, curves, wedges, and teeth pieces
Used in combination to create realistic fur textures and feather textures across all three models.
2×2 round plate with octagonal bars
Used to create the round trunk technique for the pine tree in the fox's base, appearing rough and natural.
