Today I'm reviewing a summer 2014 retail exclusive set: 850967 Jungle Accessory Set. This set is a 15€/$ Friends set, but there's never been a Friends set like this before. On to this weeks review(by the way the new reviews come out every Wednesday or Thursday, I was sick for the past two weeks so I'll try and make it up with lots of new reviews):
- Theme: Friends
- Pieces: 39
- Mini-doll figures: 1
- Price: 14.99 USD
- Brickipedia / Brickset
The Build
Mini-doll figure and animal
Naya is the character of choice here, wait WHAT? Naya?! Why? First Naya is an adult so why is she being portrayed as a teenager. :/ Also she's not even wearing a jungle outfit! Why couldn't she use one of the other's jungle top? I do like the top she's wearing but it's for a farm or rural set, not a jungle! Her leg piece is that awful sand green skirt.
The animal here will make up for Naya? Right? NOPE! Its Coco! What why? Why couldn't you have used a monkey, panda, bird or even a fish? Why a dog?! Ugh!
The builds
We get a tan roll (which is rare enough these days) and the super common chicken/turkey/baby ostrich/whatever bird you want leg.
The lantern is a nice little build, MOC fans take notice.
The stove looks bizarre :P Why is there a blue minifig head in the build?!
The piece of foliage looks stupid and is pointless. This part doesn't even help the playability it's too small to.
The tent is a cloth piece and also it is exclusive. I don't particularly like the cloth piece as the design is pretty tacky.The tent itself looks fine from the outside but the lack of interior design makes it boring.
I don't think there's much else to talk about, onto the verdict I guess:
Conclusion
| Build/Design |   ½ / 5 |
| Playability |  1 / 5 |
| Parts | 2 / 5 |
| Price | 1 / 5 |
| Overall | 1 / 5 |
This set is pretty awful :P I don't even hate it that much but it doesn't have anything going for it. The design and playability are awful. Most of the parts are bland and basic, and the price to piece ratio is awful.I'd defiantly skip it for now, even if it was on sale I don't think id recommend it. There's a lot better sets to buy rather then this, I suggest you buy one of those. <3 Soup
