Danger from the Depths

Review by JoshB

"The Kraken is a titanic, tentacled scourge of the seas, this legendary leviathan does the destructive bidding of the Flying Dutchman (1070), hunting down and playfully devouring its overwhelmed prey.



This dynamic, 40-piece, action set includes a fully poseable and buildable Kraken monster that attacks the hapless world of Pirates of the Caribbean construction toys! Fully poseable tentacles capture prey and can even attach Bloks and figures onto its surfaces. A fully poseable and highly detailed Jack Sparrow (with battle damage deco) and the evil Lord Cutler Beckett are included in this set. Build the dock station and man the rowboat to defend against (or escape from) the monstrous ruler of the ocean!"

Japanese toy and Kaiju fans may not have a whole lot of interest in Pirates, but the Kraken monster is totally awesome and well worth the purchase price alone.

The Kracken is a beautiful tentacled beast, with a mouth filled with sharp teeth. The body of the Kraken is hollow soft vinyl, and each of its 8 tentacles is fully articulated with connection points to attach the included figures.

The rest of the set includes a dock, rowboat and other accessories.
