Review of LEPIN 05006 Kylo Ren's Command Shuttle

So here we are again with another kit from the popular series.


A decent size box comes with nice box art and a total of 6 minfigures. Yep, thats right.


Presenting the mini figures. To be honest, I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of the minfigs. There are no "funny" expressions or missing eyebrows etc. All in all, looks to be good quality.


Start off with the basic frame





The construction is decent with no issues except that I had a missing piece so I waiting for it to arrive before I build this again.  I later realised that the "missing part" was actually a misplaced part but the realization was too late for me since the new part had already arrived.





The construction is very good. The clutch is very strong so no loose pieces hanging off.



The wings coming on.

With both wings on



The "extended" wings on.


Which then fold with a nifty trick


The bottom extension of the wing


Attached on to the main body


Finished view of the kit.

Some points to highlight about the kit.

  1. The shuttle does not have a stand built in so it sits on the folded bottom extension of the wings
  2. There doesn't seem to be any place for the minifigs to be seated inside the cockpit of the shuttle
  3. The green plastic bolts of laser can be shot out of the shuttle with a simple press in a slot on the wings. Just be careful that its not pointed at any delicate body parts before firing. So not really ideal around young kids or "young at heart" adults.
