Monster Fighters Hearse

Man, it has been a BUSY holiday season! I haven't even posted a single birthday present I received this year, and my birthday was way back in mid November! It's of course my own fault, being so easily distracted by the toys that are right in front of me at any given time, I can't be expected to step over those to photograph a toy that's way over there in another room! Add to that my intern's penchant for making everything about fifty times more work than it needs to be and...well...let's just say I have my hands full.

Back on topic - one thing I did get for my birthday is the Lego 9464 Monster Fighters Vampyre Hearse:

I love station wagons and hearses, so this thing is right up my alley. A Hot-Rod hearse driven by a zombie!

The hearse is great - lots of cute details like the side-pipes and torch/rear-view mirrors. And fangs!

The hearse comes with a zombie driver, the main man vampire himself (they don't call him Dracula for legal reasons but...he's Dracula!) and a Monster Fighter dude on a motorcycle. The Monster Fighter dude is interesting, I suppose there's a little steam-punk influence in these sets, as he has a robotic leg (which I didn't take a pic of...my bad.)

The vehicle also has an 'action feature' - flip a lever on the side and a coffin pops up through the roof - set it up just right and you can make Dracula fling across the table. Good times.

This Lego Hearse was a must have for me. The Hot-Rod elements are great and the vehicle itself is all sorts of cool cartoony fun. And thanks to my older sister and my birthday, I now have it! Yay for birthdays! (The jury is still out on older sisters ;)  )
