City Advent Calendar: Day 13
Posted by CapnRex101,
LEGO City Advent Calendars have generally followed a consistent wintry theme, as one may expect, so the ice cream dispenser that emerged yesterday feels slightly out of place among other gifts from the calendar.
I hope the festive theme will resume today.
In fact, we are continuing with the ice cream theme established yesterday as our third minifigure emerges. This character comes with a cone which features an impressive stack of chocolate, strawberry and vanilla ice cream! However, she could easily fulfil any other roles as her attire is fairly generic, consisting of a red jumper and dark tan legs.
The starry pattern printed on her shirt looks superb and I like the metallic silver necklace around her neck. In addition, the head and hair piece both seem well-suited to this figure, although a couple of rarer pieces would have been welcome.
Overall - 3.0 - This minifigure does not include any unique or rare pieces but it looks good in my opinion.

Is it just me or does Day 13 always succed in city advent calendars?
I don't like that long hair piece. Maybe it's just me, but every single one of those particular hair pieces I've ever gotten has had *zero* clutch power. You give it the slightest touch and it falls off the minifig's head. Maybe I just keep getting bad ones, but I'm not a fan at all.

I agree, the ice cream dispenser does feel out of place on its own, so this is nice to go alongside it.
I hope there was a Lego designer reading the comments yesterday about the ice cream cone being out of scale with a great big grin on their face.
I found out I may be biased towards the idea of eating ice cream during a nice Christmas stroll through an icy park. But then again, with global warming I reckon we'll soon all eat ice cream at Christmas.
Nice minifigure, I totally agree with mrforcepower about it nicely complementing yesterday's build, but...
Up until now the calendar has been somewhat boring. Hope it'll get better as we approach the eve.

I don't think so, not really.
also, the correct spelling is "sucked"
I'm digging this little gal, the sweater is Christmas-like enough w/the little red bow, and I don't have too many of those head pieces. I also love having extra ice cream cone pieces, although they are comically out of scale. Imagine trying to eat an ice cream cone as wide as your head, and as tall as your waist to your head, before it melts and becomes an enormous pile of wearable goo! Give me a baby swimming pool, garden hose (to wash off), 5 gallons of ice cream, and I'll put my swim trunks on and try it :)
I think she's cute in her red sweater and little glasses.
