"We've seen lions, crocodiles, eagles, ravens, and wolves before, and now the second chapter of the Legends of Chima introduces us to the newest tribe in the world of Chima – the Gorillas."

Key Pros

✓Outstanding minifigure lineup with three unique and detailed new Gorilla characters
✓Exceptional playability with multiple action features (arm-stomping mechanism, six flick-fire missiles, banana cannon, tree catapult)
✓Clever design with gorilla facial features integrated into mech body structure

Key Cons

✕Mech instability issues when standing upright; tends to fall backward, requiring stooped posture to stabilize center of gravity
✕Some repetitive building steps in Bag #3 (8 fingers, 2 arms, 2 shoulders) that may test children's patience
