Just to illustrate how large the LEGO Orca, here it is next to a LEGO Triceratops. Just kidding, Orcas aren’t known for killing people, despite their Killer Whale moniker.Īnd there’s another surprising connection – the Orca has a small blowhole on the top of its head, and it’s compatible with Friends hair accessories, so yes, you can affix a princess crown on the Orca! Oh and the jaw clicks open as well to reveal a mouth filled with plenty of sharp teeth! Interestingly, the dorsal fin has a rod moulded into it, allowing a minifigure to grab on! There are a few System connections that the Orca can use to interact with other LEGO elements. It’s absolutely massive and the LEGO Element Designers have done an excellent job capturing the Orca’s silhouette, shape and colours well. The star of the set, and what is going to be the main reason fans pick this set up is the new LEGO Orca element! It’s such an exciting time for LEGO to debut a large marine mammal like the Orca (or Killer Whale) and they’ve done a spectacular job with the mould. I really like the minifigure designs, and especially like that they’re all colour-coordinated with the Medium-Azure and Orange colour scheme that defines the 2023 LEGO City Arctic theme. Here’s a look at their back printing, and despite having helmets, or hats, LEGO have also included wigs for each minifigure so that they can be “off-duty” and let their hair down so to speak. You get a large number of characters, from the Captain, Wildlife Photographer, Doctor, Helicopter Pilot, Diver, Crew Member and a Scientist which rounds out most of the roles you’d expect on an Arctic Research expedition. 60368 Arctic Explorer Ship MinifiguresĦ0368 Arctic Explorer Ship comes with 7 minifigures which feels very generous, but once you take a closer look, you’ll realise that they each have unique torsos and there aren’t any duplicates here, which really impressed me. Here’s a look at both the ship’s hull pieces.Ī small sticker sheet is included with plenty of stickers with the new 2023 City Arctic logos on them. The walls of the box are quite strong sturdy, and while you can’t fit the completed Research Ship in it after you’re done (it’s too long), it makes for a great storage box for other LEGO City sets.

Here’s a look at the contents, which contain 9 numbered plastic bags, two large ship hull pieces, and the instruction manuals contained within a cardboard envelope. I was very surprised by 60368 Arctic Explorer Ship box, which doesn’t come in a traditional push-tab/flap box but instead has a lid design – something you don’t encounter very often.
