Pros and cons

What we like

  • Three builds: unicorn on a rainbow stand, seahorse or peacock
  • Unicorn moves its legs and hooves, seahorse its tail, fins and head
  • Peacock moves its tail and eyes
  • Over 5 inches (13 cm) tall, small enough to fit in a bag

What may bother

  • One animal at a time; switching means rebuilding
  • Small model, a little over 5 inches tall
  • Only 145 pieces, so the build ends quickly

Our verdict

86 / 100

A neat stocking-to-birthday gift for a creature-loving kid who enjoys building and rebuilding. It travels well and takes a short afternoon. Skip it for anyone who wants a large set or an elaborate scene.

Best forKids and young teens who love animals and fantasy creatures and like rebuilding the same bricks.
Avoid ifSkip it for a builder who wants a big project, since this is a quick, small model.

How we score

The CTG score out of 100 is the weighted average of five criteria rated for every product: proven reliability (36%), perceived value (18%), bond and memory (18%), originality (14%) and novelty (14%). Each criterion has its own published scale, identical for every product: it rates generously, because every product in our selection is already good. The score does not depend on the guide. 60 to 69: average gift. 70 to 77: good pick. 78 to 85: safe bet. 86 to 89: favorite. 90 and above: the perfect gift, a label reserved for excellent products that customers like, one winner per occasion. In a guide, the score for the recipient combines this score with the place in the ranking. The budget is an indicative range: the exact price is shown by the store at checkout.
