CRITICIZED (6)

01No knee joints, which is the most significant articulation limitation
02Limited leg pose options due to ankle constraints required for stability
03Shoulder joints can struggle to hold up arm weight over time
04Some less-ideal color choices visible at the back (tan and blue showing through internal structure)
05Flame throwers fire printed discs rather than actual stud or flame elements
06Stickers used for detailing rather than printed elements

What reviewers are saying

"this absolutely crushes that crushes Dreams Just crushes so much this puts to shame the fire Mech from The Lego Movie itself"

JANG's LEGO Reviews

"I think the Fire Mech is a fine looking beast. It looks taller and more imposing than I had expected"

Brickset Reviews

Ecosystem

Kai's Fire Mech (2013) — New mech absolutely crushes the 2013 version in scale, detail, and overall quality; puts the previous set to shame

Fire Mech from The LEGO Movie — New mech is significantly larger and more impressive than the original LEGO Movie version

4508 Titan XP — LEGO has previously used brick arches, albeit larger ones, in a similar way in the design of a previous mech, namely 4508 Titan XP from 2004

Exo-Force mechs (generic reference) — Its size puts it in a class of its own... It's huge and incredibly sturdy, though that does come at the expense of knee articulation... Nevertheless I'd easily consider it one of the best such mechs Lego's ever made.

What Owners Say · summarized from 31 written reviews (LEGO, Amazon, Walmart)

Owners love the Fire Mech's imposing size, excellent minifigs, and fun build, but many are frustrated by lack of knee joints, weak arm joints, and fragile parts that fall off during play.
