In the vibrant realm of LEGO, where creativity knows no bounds, lies a magical set that invites children and adults alike to embark on a journey through the landscape of emotions. The Inside Out 2 Mood Cubes set, inspired by Disney and Pixar’s beloved film, Inside Out, is more than just a building experience; it’s a delightful exploration of feelings and imagination.
A Journey Through the Mind
The Inside Out 2 Mood Cubes set, comprising 394 pieces, is a compact yet deeply engaging build priced at AUD 59.99. Each piece contributes to a captivating narrative that unfolds as you build. As the box opens, you are greeted with vibrant colours and intriguing shapes that hint at the adventures to come. The set includes two buildable mood cubes, nine mood plates, and two mini-doll figures—Joy and Anxiety—along with Margie and Foreman, the industrious mind workers.
Moreover, the true magic begins as you assemble the mood plates. Each plate, adorned with expressive designs, allows builders to convey different emotions. For example, Joy’s radiant smile and Anxiety’s worried frown come to life, adding depth to the cubes. These mood plates can be interchanged, letting you customise the cubes to reflect your current state of mind or simply to experiment with different emotional expressions.
Building the Control Board
One of the set’s highlights is the control board display stand. This ingenious piece allows you to track the mood shifts of Joy and Anxiety. As you piece together the board, you can almost hear the clicks and whirrs of the mind’s inner workings. Furthermore, the control board adds an element of interactivity, making the set not just a static display but a dynamic storytelling tool.
A Tale of Feelings
Imagine a day in the life of a young builder. With Joy and Anxiety by their side, they navigate through the highs and lows of their day. The buildable cubes serve as containers for their emotions, allowing them to express themselves in a tangible, playful way. Additionally, Joy’s infectious happiness brightens even the gloomiest day, while Anxiety’s cautious nature reminds them to be careful.
The Inside Out 2 Mood Cubes are not just about the final product but the journey of building and storytelling. Each piece adds a layer to the narrative, encouraging builders to delve into the world of emotions, understanding, and empathy.
